Who: Kate Bishop + YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Yesterday evening.

Want to play a game? [ kate's surroundings are, quite evidently, a lush little corner of málum. the neon-y blue tinge of the bar's decor casts its colour over her features. there's a tall, impressively concocted cocktail at her elbow. ] I mean, I know I do. So here's how it goes: you tell me anywhere you'd rather be but here, with the caveat that it can't just be a home. I think it's safe to say that home is a very understandable answer, but it's also a little too achingly realistic for my purposes. So pick somewhere else. Pick Ibiza. Pick Iceland, if you want.

Well, unless Iceland is your home. Then please refer to rule numero uno. It also happens to be the game's only rule. [ short and sweet, that's our katerade.

and maybe about an hour (and maybe another drink) later: ] ...Does anyone wanna come dance with me?

[ swipe right, dear flooters. swipe right. ]

is that some part of this ship or something?

[ because surely she can't mean space...travel....ahahaaaa.... ]

[ladybro]

It's the other ship. The bigger ship.

[residu]

you mean the one i woke up on?

[ladybro]

[ oh boy is she ever gonna hafta be patient with you. ]

Nah. The other OTHER big ship. The one with all the fun stuff.

[residu]

[ Space is hard and no one understands okay ]

.......how many ships are there here exactly

[ladybro]

Two big ones and then all the little ones. The Iskaulit's the only big one you can visit at will, though.

[residu]

and how exactly do you do that with the whole "you die in open space" thing

[ladybro]

Shuttles, duh.

[residu]

no
no no no no no no

[ladybro]

No?

[residu]

i can't do it i can't go out in some tiny ship in the middle of space i can barely handle being in space in THIS giant bucket of bolts

[ladybro]

...do you want a ride?

[ ok this is no longer about dancing. or hanging out. this about teaching this kid how to face this one fear, 'cause damn...if he refuses to take a shuttle? life's gonna get dull quick here in space. ]

[residu]

[ He would prefer dull to the void of space!!! But...you know. Help could be appreciated. He just sure as heck wouldn't be able to do it himself, which is the most frustrating part. ]

huh???

[ladybro]

A ride. A lift. I could swing by, pick you up, and show you the place. Give you a tour. My augment has nothing to do with piloting, so the whole thing will just be on auto anyway.

[residu]

and autopilot is so comforting

[ladybro]

Actually, it does a better job than the autopilot on the Quinjets back home. You'll be safe. Avengers' honour.

[residu]

who's honour??

[ maybe Wrath is right. MAYBE HE IS A CAVEMAN. ]

[ladybro]

Avengers. They're -- you know what, it doesn't matter. I give you my word that you'll be safe.

[residu]

.....
ok but
i've got one condition and its sort of stupid

[ladybro]

Name it.

[residu]

if there are any windows or hatches or anything jsut
keep them closed?

[ladybro]

[ you'd have to be a real caveman to fly a shuttle with the hatch open, but... ]

There's the front window. The -- windshield, if you will, even though that's not what it's doing in space. I don't think it's a good idea to close that one. But maybe you could sit facing away from it?

[residu]

[ WELL HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE SPACE okay ]

that works for me
i just can't stomach that kinda thing is all

[ladybro]

We all have our bugbears.

What ship are you on?/span>

[residu]

first breath i think
