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. ]

[huaaaaagh]

Nah. I mean, I'll fight when I have to, I won't deny that. But what you do is something you chose, right? Because you want to do all that stuff? That's the part I'd be lousy at.

[ladybro]

Sure, I choose it. But mostly because it still needs to get done. That's the paradox of having so many heroes running around, I guess. There never quite seems to be enough.

[huaaaaagh]

Well... what do you think you'd be doing if your world didn't have such a pressing need for heroes?

[ladybro]

Oh, I dunno. Maybe eking my way through a music degree? [ she doesn't stop to think about this too often. ]

[huaaaaagh]

Did you ever want to be anything besides a hero?

[ladybro]

Once upon a time, I thought I might take over the family business.

[ but that dream dried up pretty quickly. ]

[huaaaaagh]

The family business being?

[He figures she'll tell him to piss off when she doesn't want to answer anymore.]

[ladybro]

Publishing. [ ... ] Mostly.

[huaaaaagh]

"Mostly". So very suspicious.

[Well, not really. It could just be a long list.]

[ladybro]

I just mean -- once a company gets to a certain size, it kinda has to diversify. Or die.

[ a wrinkle of her nose. ]

[huaaaaagh]

Fair enough. I can't say I know much of anything about business.
