Who: Everyone
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Iskaulit
When: Broadcast: Feb. 1, Action: Anytime February

Welcome to my one-year anniversary. [Pause as she realizes maybe she should clarify that. Not a relationship thing.] Of being with the Fleet. Feels like it should come with a badge of some kind. Who hands those out? We're in a special club now, right? Secret handshake? Extra meal portions?

Anyway, I figured it was maybe time to try something different. So... Raise your hand if you'd be interested in attending a dance class if I taught one. And by raise your hand I mean call me back. I don't have surveillance set up in all the rooms yet. [She's kidding. She's probably kidding.] If anyone is in I'll set up a room for it on the Iskaulit. [Or maybe find the secret studio the previous Natasha had.]

[Kitty is poking around some of the empty spaces on the Iskaulit, but she might pop into some of the more established establishments too while she's there.]

[ GUESS WHO'S BACK IN THE LAND OF THE CONSCIOUS. Kara waves. She's not back to 100% pep but she's making a decent effort ]

I guess I slept through my anniversary. Should we have a party?

Hey! You're awake! [I hope you enjoyed that surprised, excited outburst. It's all you're getting!]

Which...you probably know. [Wow, okay, there was a question in there before the surprise.]

Only if I don't have to throw it. When did you wake up?

[takingkarabusiness]

I mean, it's always good to have external verification for reality.

I woke up just a little while ago... Just finished up eating and powering up. And to be honest, I'm not sure a party would be celebrating the right things, you know? Like, woohoo, we're still captive.

[ he's very proud of his beautiful girlfriend for her initiative and he wants to talk about whatever she's feeling about her anniversary - honest!

it's just that... ]

Kitty, Kara's awake! [ if he smiles any harder his face would break. but it's such a genuine smile of pure bliss. ]

[That gets a laugh because she just finished asking Kara if Winn knew she was up.] I had a feeling I'd have a very happy boyfriend today. [It's always good to see.]

[winn]

Great hunch, you must be psychic!

[ everything is gonna make him smile right now. kara's awake!!! ]

-- What manner of dance do you teach?

video »

[passingthrough]

[She doesn't recognize the face, but she smiles.] Ballet probably. Maybe modern. If I stray from those we'll be into a learning together situation which wouldn't be the worst thing either. Did you have a style you were interested in?

[steeledskin]

[ a brief frown. ] I can't say I know what 'ballet' might be. Is it a lively dance?

[wolfuncaged]

I'll pass on the dancing - but happy anniversary, all the same. I shall teach you the secret handshake soon. In secret.

[Look, even he can make a joke once in a while. ]

Video

[passingthrough]

[It gets a smile from her.] I knew you wouldn't hold out me. At least for the handshake. The dancing on the other hand... I had you pegged as my star pupil.

[reek]

You couldn't have asked a month ago?

[ Surprise. He was once a lovely dancer, but it's been so long that he's almost forgotten himself. Needless to say, those days are behind him.

He doesn't look too much better, but he's inching his way in that direction. He isn't quite so gaunt as he was when he returned, and he seems to be in good enough spirits to smirk and actually mean it. The self-deprecating japes have made their return. ]

[She smiles and does, indeed, look a little surprised to see him again looking a little more himself.] I'm asking now. Not good enough for you?

[edwinjarvis]

[OH HELLO HE'S PINGED BY THIS HAND RAISING.

He literally raises his hand, though, in case he's not obvious.]

Dancing?

I do enjoy a good dance.

[Jarvis, why are you so cute?]

You are into all the best things in life it seems. [Cooking for her and dancing? Yeah, best friend sticks.]

[livesfastdiesung]

[She's literally throwing her hand up in the air.]

Me!! I want to!

[passingthrough]

Hi. [That gets a smile. She'll resist the urge to tease.] You seem like you might be interested.

Have you had any dance training before?

video

[outstandingbalance]

Just what kind of dancing were you thinking of bringing to the masses?

[Natasha knows Kitty studied ballet, and respects that. But she's not sure how much demand there is for a ballet teacher here.]

Considering the number of parties they have around here, ballroom might have an audience.

video

[passingthrough]

Yeah, I'm getting that feeling. [She emits a laugh, sigh combo.] I was hoping ballet. Maybe modern, but I think the only interest is going to be ballroom which...I never really studied. I could probably teach super beginner classes of it.

[video]

[ecclesiophobic]

A little different would be doing something for yourself instead of hosting a gathering.

[video]

[passingthrough]

You noticed that too, huh? I think the ponies got to me. [So many parties. But they were all inspired by Winn. Just wanting to do something special for him each time. He's always doing things for her.]

But I like dancing. This is practically no work at all. I just have to...create a dance studio.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[A soft snort and a giggle from Wanda.]

I can teach you the secret handshake later. And if you start getting extra meal portions, let me know. I may have to have words with whoever is in charge.

[Okay, enough of the sarcasm. Her tone softens, and her smile becomes more genuine.]

"Congratulations" sounds rather odd to say. As it feels like I'm congratulating you on staying a prisoner of this place for a full year... and this may sound somewhat selfish of me, but I am glad you are still here.

Video

[passingthrough]

I can let you know. Just remember sharing is a different story. [Smiling back.]

And if it helps at all, I'm glad I'm here. Which I mean with as little Stockholm syndrome as possible. Still fully against the captors.

[reconstitution]

If there are any extra perks for being here over a year, I've yet to see any.

Say it ain't so, Bucky. [Not that she's actually surprised.] Make it up to me by learning ballet?
