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. ]

They'd mess with the silhouette, [ she teases. ]

Think how confusing it'd be - if anyone saw you coming, they'd have no idea what's coming.

[ much better. she likes it when he smiles. ]

If only gracelessly falling on your enemies was a valid combat tactic.

[ she should be feeling very proud of herself, genuine smiles have been in short supply on his face. ]

Hey, if they're out they're out - totally counts.

Pft, Winn. You grade on way too gracious a curve. Back home, a take-down like that would go viral. And not in a good way.

[ but she's smiling and laughing too. ]

Hey? Did you get roped into one of the factions?

That's why it pays to be nice to the nerds.

[ nodding, before shaking his head with an awkward little smile. ]

Less roped and more -- born into it. [ even his fashion choices are spirit. ]

That gung-ho about it, huh? [ again, that lop-sided smile that straddles the line between playful and serious. ] I kept getting mistaken for Spirit. So -- [ she bends her good arm and gives her braided hair a bit of a waggle. the light catches on the gold fabric. ]

Getting to work in my actual field again is pretty cool, not gonna lie.

[ but mostly it's just that he doesn't really fit in any other faction. he's pretty effortlessly spirit. ]

I don't think I could be mistaken for anything but Spirit no matter what I wear.

I dunno. All these ideologies are pretty up to interpretation -- you might be staunchly Spirit but I bet there are all sorts of overlap for other people.

[ saying that, though, she's pretty staunchly moxie. ]

I know, that was a me-specific sorta comment. I'm not a fan of the whole divide thing but I guess obviously belonging somewhere makes it a little easier.

[ he doesn't have to make any sort of effort or tell any sort of lie to get what he wants which is fortunate because he's a pretty terrible liar. ]

I bet it makes for some great literature, though. Plenty of star-crossed lovers from different factions. That sorta thing.

Not really my cup of coffee.

Not big on the trope-y romance, huh?

I prefer my fictional romance in the background of badass heroics.

Me? I'm happy to have them both foregrounded. I bet there'd be some pretty rip-roaring romances between, say, a Savvy and a Moxie.

And the Spirit friend'll be the one going 'I'm too old for this shit'.

You? Old? Hah.

Hey - unless this is your way of telling me about your rip-roaring romance with a Savvy - I was under the impression we were speaking hypothetical fictional characters.

Can you blame me for fan-casting?

So who's the love interest?

[ honestly? it probably would have been the winter soldier before he went bonkers. :| ]

Undecided. Probably someone with a serious case of dark-and-broody, though. A through-and-through Savvy with an independent streak wider than the Grand Canyon.

[ he arches a brow ]

Really? Didn't figure you'd have a lot of patience for that.

It's a fantasy, Winn. Fantasy-me has a fantastical amount of patience. She's way better than I am.

Too far, you totally broke the suspension of disbelief there.

Man, let's hope none of my exes show up. Then you'll really hafta question my taste in everything.

[ except eli. he was mostly ok. ]
