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. ]

[ladybro]

I had an unfair advantage. People from home, mostly -- older, and more experienced than me. [ but not better. ]

[residu]

You mean...people from your home are here too??

[ladybro]

Clint, for one. [ ... ] And there used to be another guy on my ship, from home. We didn't necessarily get along. But I knew I could trust him.

[ mostly. ]

[residu]

That's the second time you mentioned that guy... [ What's the story there is he your beau or like teacher or what ]

[ladybro]

Clint? [ she's caught half-way between sip of her own freshly poured mug of tea. kate is equally caught between a smile and a grimace -- clint's a weird sort of subject. ] Y-yeah. He's as good as family, I suppose.

[ she doesn't know how else to explain him. ]

[residu]

[ Yeah, he sees that now. Jihwan's going to file Clint under "do not bring up" after this. ]

...Gotcha. [ He's not being facetious or anything, just nodding as he blows on his own mug and finally goes to sit down. ]

[ladybro]

And if you're in a pinch? You can trust him. Completely. He may be a doofus, but he's the good kinda doofus. If the shit hits the fan, he's one of the people you want to call.

[ -- then she grins. ] You know, if you can't reach me. The obvious first choice.

[residu]

[ ....Pffft. Alright. That will get a very small quirk of his lips, amusement flitting across his face. ]

I don't want to know what sort of shit hits the fan in outer space, but alright. Macho Man or Hawkeye.

[ladybro]

Please call him that to his face.

[residu]

Why...

[ladybro]

Because life's too short to miss his reaction to it, that's why.

[residu]

Is this going to get me punched or something.

[ladybro]

Nah. Probably not.

[residu]

"Probably"....

[ladybro]

He's not often in the habit of attacking civilians.

[residu]

He's not a civilian, then. [ Because civilians don't use the term civilian to describe themselves. ]

[ladybro]

He's an Avenger. [ like that's self-explanatory or something. ]

[residu]

And that's...what, like that punisher guy?

[ladybro]

Oh, God, no. Punisher's not really the Avengers-type. For one thing, Avengers don't kill.

[ shouldn't kill. ]

[residu]

.......Wait, what now?! Who said anything about killing anyone??

[ladybro]

No one said anything but -- I gotta break it to you, when you're talking about the Punisher it's just mostly inferred. The guy's got a butcher's bill.

[residu]

The fuck--! Please tell me someone arrested him or something?? [ There's no way a killer just...runs around killing bad guys right?? ]

[ladybro]

I'm sure they've tried.
