driftfleet | video and action »

Who: Kate Bishop and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: Lavandula + the Iskaulit.
When: Today

Ow, for futz sake -- [ the feed is shaky, at first -- as though the device and its owner has just fallen from some middling height. but it soon settles steady on an image of kate bishop -- bruised, dirty, but ultimately fine. although she's stubbornly wearing purples more often alligned with the spirit faction, she has alligned herself quite naturally with moxie -- deigning to at least braid white and gold ribbons into her black hair. sitting up on the poorly terra-formed ground, the feed reveals she's dressed in a superbly tailored hawkeye costume made from strong fabrics and flattering lines.

over her shoulder looms lavandula's tower. the intrepid young avenger followed the trills of a mysterious and now finds she herself thoroughtly defeated by the tower's bizarre internal architecture. this isn't the first time she's taken a tumble.

grumpily: ] This place is worse than a funhouse. [ ... ] Paging any and all Fleet folk -- anyone manage to track down this freaky-deaky flute music on Lavandula? All I'm finding are doors shut in my face. Not loving it.

[ LATER, she's back at the rehabilitation centre. she pays her modest fee and gets herself patched up -- bandages and all. so, once she takes a shuttle back to the iskaulit and shows up for work at málum, she's still looking a little worse for wear. take pity on her, málum patrons, because her usual bartender flair is suddenly subdued: she's got one arm in a sling. she'll still serve you, though. and with a smile! ...probably. ]

Uh - how about not following it before the whole Blair Witch Project starts and our devices will blackout and then we'll get eaten?

[ kate, please. ]

You think I can't take the Blair Witch? [ a crooked smile. ] Oh, ye of little faith.

That's what they always say and let me remind you, you're the tall, pretty, white girl.

[ pointing to himself ]

the short nerd who warned everyone always gets eaten first.

I'm not gonna let anything or anyone eat you. Hawkeye's honour.

[ instead of a regular salute, she instinctively signs the little gesture generally accepted to mean hawkeye -- figure no. 2. ]

Where were you when a T-Rex nearly made me and Winn his lunch.

[ STILL NOT OVER THE REX ATTACK ]

why would you go following that creepy music over to that creepy place, anyway? and without telling us so we can at least come and make sure you don't end up like that?

Why? [ cisco she is gonna milk this. ] Were you worried?

Let's see. My friend is going over to a haunted tower on a weird ass planet to follow some creepy ass music by herself and is likely going to get killed or eaten or brainwashed since that's the sort of thing haunted towers do.

[ !!! ]

uh yeah I was worried!

We don't know -- for certain -- that it's haunted. [ a glance over her (dislocated) shoulder. ] Maybe I should go back in and find out.

Uh let's see - weird isolated tower? check. Creepy vibes? check! weird, creepy ass music leading there? check. people coming out looking like shit?

[ giving her a look ]

check. haunted. 98% sure. The next person who goes there might not come out.

[ ...................... ]

..........Can I go with you? I'll be quiet.

...Of course you can. [ wait for it. ] Don't worry. I'll keep you safe.

Alright! Operation Blair Witch is a go!

[ and ok just because he must, there has to be some singing ]

If there's something weird and it don't look good, who ya gonna call?

[ pointing at u, kate. ]

Oh! I know this one -- [ c h e e k y ] It's, uh, Spirit-Breakers. Right?

[ she knows it's ghostbusters, hun. her grin proves so. ]

--- Spirit Breakers make us sound like a lousy rock band. We're gonna have to come up with a new name. One that doesn't sound like we're living in a basement.

[ .. ]

I could totally be a soloist, though.

[ hold the phone: ] Oh yeah? What do you play?

I'm not hopeless on a guitar but I never really learned. Never dug musical instruments too much.

[ there is a hidden bitterness there. of course he didn't, music was always dante's big talent that always overshadowed his own ]

Lead singer, then, yeah?

I can get a headband and a sparkly microphone -

And only green M&Ms in the dressing room, right?

And about forth five tacos and maybe a sloppy joe.

[ ... ]

man, I'm hungry.

Pfft. Have you eaten yet today?

Just tall bird meat in a sandwich. Weird - but not bad.

[ he doesn't even know what a tall bird is but. ]

while you're chasing the Blair Witch, I'm working on something for us to brainstorm together.

[ damn you nerds and your means to pique her curiousity. ]

...Oh?

Remind me to show you something when alla this clears out -

[ pointing to her injuries ]

I find it terrifying but knowing you, you'll probably think it's awesome.

Dude. You can't just lead a girl on like this...

[ maybe she can embarrass him into telling her. ]

I can when she's hurt.

[ innocently ]

Which is too bad because I could really use your help with this one.
