Who: Kate Bishop and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Planetside
When: This morning

[ kate is down on the planet, hair tied back with a light-coloured bandanna. she's holding the device selfie-style -- a shooting aesthetic born of the snapchat and periscope generation. ]

Do any of you know the story of the one red paperclip? Some guy up in Canada started with a paperclip, which he traded for a pen, and then traded that pen for a hand-made doorknob, and then that for a camping stove (plus fuel). And he kept going until fourteen trades after the red paperclip... he got a house. A whole futzing house.

Well, my one red paperclip was a piece of foil-wrapped gum I was holding onto since the day I arrived. Two votive candles, one fishtail braid, some dice, a repaired rope bridge, wooden shoes, and a barrel of mead later? [ her free hand reaches for something off-screen, which turns out to be a simple wooden bow. ] This is my whole futzing house. Suck it, whatever intergalactic bank handles our fleet credits. Suck it.

[ later, she can be found celebrating her minor economic victory down at the BEACH -- sunbathing, or swimming, or just diverting herself by building odd shapes in the sand. find her there, or cooling off in the evening at one of the taverns -- a little sunburned, but looking thoroughly satisfied. ]

He nodded. "The old one didn't work. Something about magic."
bullhorned: (Bulldozer!)

"It wasn't magic." It was not an easy concept to explain, because until coming to the fleet, he hadn't had to experience all that much of conventional technology. "I don't really know why it wouldn't work."

He nodded. "The new and the old."
bullhorned: (This totally isn't weird)

Gendry, who remembered well the name and appearance of the man with the metal arm, was entirely unperturbed at this notion. "He wouldn't have been the first," he said dismissively.

"Oh," Gendry said. Then because he felt like he should say something more, he added: "Shame that."
