Who: Kitty and everyone else!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Twin Roses
When: Now, soon, wheneverish

[The video kicks on from an odd angle but you see a woman's hands trying to scrap the paint off of a musical triangle. They are silver except for the part where they are covered in tiny pink and red hearts. Love triangles! When that doesn't seem to be working she takes two of them and slides them into each other. Except she does it in a way that break the laws of physics. Solid matter is slipping through other solid matter. Then she removes one of her hands and they simply freeze that way. She picks up another one, continuing her sculpture.]

Hmm? [A hand moves toward the screen as she picks up her communicator, revealing Kitty's face.] Who turned you on? Right. Silly question.

Hi, everyone. I guess the Atroma wanted you to be in on this. Soooo, I have a crate of triangles for all you music lovers or people who might want to repurpose the metal. Let me know.

Oh, and as long as I'm here, the dance studio is officially up and running on the Iskaulit. Or up and just sitting there like studios tend to do. I'll post a sign up sheet on the door with some various types of dance I can feasibly teach. So mostly ballet, modern, and I'll give ballroom a shot since it's going to be the most popular. But go ahead and use the space to practice or perform when there isn't a class going on.

[She means to end the feed there, but a text she had nothing to do with goes out afterward.]

Kitty is actually 10 cats stacked on each other. Kitty is a ghost—she's dead and she can walk through walls. Ironically, Kitty likes it doggy style. Kitty is so tough Chuck Norris is scared of her. Kitty is secretly growing catnip in the Twin Roses garden. Kitty is in a love triangle with Winn and C̷̨̞̫̗̭͎̳͉̟͔̍͜h̷̡̡͖̜̉͂̀̎̂͂̂́̀͆̋́́͋͒͜e̴̡̱̱̍̈͜k̶̙̰̜̹̠̤̹̀̋͋̒͐͊̋͋̎̔͘͘͝͠o̶̥̬̖͙̠̞͕͙̦̜̺̰̜̯͙̽̒͑̀̔̉̎͂v̸̢̧͕̯͈͉̥̫̤̪̥̯̍͛̚

Well, you figured things out. I'm sure she won't be far behind.

How much contact was there with aliens where you're from? [What? This is a perfectly normal, legitimate question.]

My Kate's a smart cookie. Tough one, too.

Uhm... none that we know of. Conspiracy theorists claim otherwise, of course.

Oh. Huh. Maybe there weren't any nearby for some reason. [She'll have to ponder that one. Maybe they just weren't aware.]

So, are you and Kate from the same time? [She knows how awkward that can be if you aren't.] Think she'll be joining our ship?

Or they took one look at the state of humanity and noped out.

[Castle sighed.]

She's from a few months before me. [And thus wasn't able to tell him for sure whether or not he was dead.] And I certainly hope so. I think she wants her space for now while she figures things out, but I've hold her she's always welcome here.

No fair. That's what happened where I'm from. I see you plagiarizing me, writer.

[She nods.] Well, it's good she knows she's welcome. I guess a few months ahead doesn't help you a lot. [How is she going to forget her potential death buddy's situation?]

You'll never take me alive!

Mmhmm... and a lot happened during those few months that she has no idea about. So it's a bit of a dilemma for me... how much do I tell her, how much do I just leave be?

Maybe you should talk to her about that too. See if she wants to know things about her future. It probably won't affect you much back home either way. Doesn't seem like people ever remember there.

Yeah, it definitely couldn't hurt- it helps that it's mostly good things for her. A major promotion.

Is she the president now?

I wish. She'd kick ass at the job.

So, something slightly smaller.

Yeah. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in fact. It meant moving away, but we were making it work.

As in her moving away and you not?

Mmhmm- I stayed in New York, she moved to DC. So it wasn't too difficult to see each other, though it DOES help that I'm loaded. You know, not to brag.
