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. ]

Comments

Action

[ladybro]

And old. [ let that sink in for a moment. if there's one person who shouldn't be looking wicked-aged, it's wolverine. ] A staunch member of the blue-rinse club. His, uh, world sounded like it was especially crappy. I figure that's what accounts for the feral thing.

[ this conversation is perhaps getting a little too serious for dancing. kate still has hold of gambit's hand -- but she glances back towards her table. after a moment's hesitation, she tugs him back towards it. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

[It was a little, wasn't it, and Remy had the good sense to give her a bit of a sheepish smile as she pulled him along, he happily following.] Ah cherie, didn' mean to ruin the dance like this. [Also, processing the whole 'old' Logan thing.] Will have to owe ya a proper one.

Action

[ladybro]

Pfft, dances are dances. It's not like you borrowed my Louboutins. With any luck, there'll be plenty of opportunities in future -- [ she slides back onto her stool and gestures at the space across from her. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

Can only hope. [He answered as he took said seat, getting comfortable and leaning his elbows against the table.] Never know, our next stop might have some decent clubs again, always fun to find out different musics 'nd the like with all the species we run 'nto 'round the place.

Action

[ladybro]

Maybe. I wouldn't mind. [ ... ] But I also wouldn't mind coming across some planet with a fairly priced bow.

[ kate's not used to not being able to afford the things she wants. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

[There was a blink of his eyes as Remy tried to figure out what she meant.] We talkin' accessories wise or weapon wise?

Action

[ladybro]

...Can't it be both? [ a pregnant pause before she takes mercy: ] But -- yeah, I'm talking about the bows'n'arrows version.

Action

[cajunspice]

Hold on, hold on, [Remy held up a hand to stop her and take a step back, his smile slowly forming into a grin.] If we talkin' both, would it be a small bow, [Motioning with his hand as if he was drawing back a bow and arrow.] The size of a bow, or a bow, [This time mimicking making a knot.] Giant size? Because both sound real 'nterestin'.

Action

[ladybro]

[ chuckling: ] A regular sized bow can be just an interesting. I promise. [ but to clarify, ] I am talking about the bow-and-arrow kind.

Action

[cajunspice]

[Remy grinned at her answer before moving away from his silly joke.] Never had a try at one m'self, not much call for it from my line of work 'nd never really had a chance to try back down South.

Action

[ladybro]

Not that you'd ever need to try, I guess. [ ... ] You've got your own specialty, don't you?

[ he's gambit. so he's likely got the same powers, she guesses. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

Guess could say that, do prefer a bo staff, [Oh, unless she was talking about his mutant.] Ah yeah, 'm runnin' a little low on m' normal ammo, never seem to get m' hands on 'nough cards 'round this place.

Action

[ladybro]

No? [ maybe that shouldn't surprise her, but it does. ] You think the Atroma make it that way 'cause they know what you can do with them?

Action

[cajunspice]

I think it more the case of just not all planets have card games. The Atroma had us all pulled onto one of their bigger ships several months back, threw everyone into one area 'nd they had cards there to help past the time. Collected up all I could back then.

'nd really, cards just be an item, 'nything I touch can turn into ammo. [A shrug of his shoulders with that.]

Action

[ladybro]

Funny, [ she laughs. ] So can I.

[ just with fewer...powers involved. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

[Remy grinned at her laughter and comment, before curiosity turned it more serious.] 'd think that would 'ffect the aerodynamics a bit, though suppose depends over the distance ya firin'. Know I got a preferred brand to use, got the right weight to the cards so don't get blown 'way too easily, but still 'nough to get that right arch for it to really fly.

Action

[ladybro]

[ she nods. ] I know it's the same with -- uhm, Clint. [ a waggle of her fingers. ] A favourite brand. Knowing where to bend the card just right. I swear, that guy probably once made a living chucking stupid things into beer glasses from across a bar.

Me? I tend to stick to the arrows. Maybe the odd throwing star. A knife, if need be.

Action

[cajunspice]

Clint? 'nother Avenger? [Since the tone strikes Remy as it is someone she expects him to know.] Hey, I have ya know that be a real easy way to make quick money as ya need to, especially if ya fake bein' bad at it first few times then make them go double or nothin'.

Throwin' stars, hein? Also something never tried a hand at, knives, oui but prefer to have a flat edge so don't go cuttin' m' hand up when throwin' them.

Action

[ladybro]

Another Avenger. [ she nods. ] Clint's pretty much a legacy member. The first Hawkeye. [ ... ] But some would say -- not the best Hawkeye.

[ kate's not one of the ones who say it. she has tremendous respect for clint, despite all else. ]

Action

[cajunspice]

So who else make up this group, might not know of it by the team title but might know a few by their names.

Action

[ladybro]

Oh, jeez. There've been, like, hundreds. These days? Who knows who's on what team. But back when I was a kid it was -- Hawkeye, Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor. I think Black Widow ducked in and out from time to time. When Clint joined up, I'm pretty sure Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch were on the team.

[cajunspice]

[Remy nodded along as she spoke, pausing as he picked out names he knew either from home or from those who had been on the Fleet or in Luceti, yet he froze as she said those last names, eyes narrowing a bit.] Wanda 'nd Pietro? [Really?] Really? [Pietro?] Pietro?

[ladybro]

Absolutely. [ probably not the best time, then, to explain how she's best friends with one of wanda's sons. and occasional make-out buddies with the other. ] I've worked with Quicksilver before. Not the easiest ally to deal with, to be honest.

[cajunspice]

So have I, 'nd that certainly left me not wantin' to get within ten yards of the boy. Hell, ten states seem not 'nough with how fast he can move. [Ugh, Pietro. He had been a real pain during his stay with the Acolytes, and had only been around because Daddy had let him stay, not because he was ready to be part of the team. The day Remy was able to dump him back off with the Brotherhood had been a godsend.

Although it had always been entertaining to try and dose him up on sugar and let him run himself into a sugar crash.] 'nd Wanda... [Well... was Wanda. Wonderful girl, if not a little brain dead thanks to the mind melting that had been done on her. Poor girl.] She... doin' ok in that type of role?

[ladybro]

Better. She's doing -- better.

[ she doesn't know how else to explain that knot of a problem. or whether m-day even happened where gambit's from. kate hedges. ] I don't see her a lot. Clint's a lot closer to her than I am.

Or he used to be.
