Who: Clint "Hawkeye" Barton and you's all
Broadcast: Video
Action: Introductions on The Caprine, Katie-waiting on the Blameless and dog-walking aboard the Iskaulit
When: Action immediately following the shuffle, video in the days after.
Action | The SS Caprine, the SS Blameless and then the Iskaulit
[Immediately after the shuffle, Clint spends some time milling around on SS Caprine, knocking on doors or on the walls beside entranceways, poking his head in places. New ship, new faces. Does anyone on this ship play the drums at odd hours of the night? Is that a thing he should worry about? Do the kitchens have coffee? What's the space-mold situation in the corners of these space-rooms? Inquiring minds must know. Inquiring minds wearing standard-issue jump-suits.
But Clint stays off the network for a little while. Why? Because he wants to find Kate Bishop in person, first. That feels important to him -- not to settle for firing off a quick text message. After all, back home, it would be putting the situation mildly to say that they don't hang out as much as they used to. He hopes to find her still billeted on the Blameless... and... Okay. she's gone when he gets there, but Lucky is sleeping on her bed. In the Captain's room. So that answers that, and more besides. After a brief and joyful reunion with much shushing and good-boying Clint opts to knock out two birds with one stone and takes Lucky for a walk on the Iskaulit in case the Hawkeye to his Hawkeye should happen to be hanging out there.
Of course, since she's not there, he doesn't find her. And when Lucky tires Clint returns to the Blameless, again (weirdly, it feels less like trespassing to loiter here than on his own ship, and he feels less guilty drinking the coffee from Kate's kitchen than his own now that his own kitchen is on a strange ship full of strangers.) Finally, when at last he feels his welcome is being overstayed, Hawkeye retires to Kate's room to await her there.]

Hey.
This is Clint Barton, here to help with all your bow-and-or-arrow based needs. I've been here before, as some of you know. It's been about ...
[He looks at his hand, and the back at the camera.]
Five months?
So, what did I miss.
((ooc: if anyone should want to incorporate/continue CR from the test drive, by all means. It would have taken place while he was walking Lucky on the Iskaulit. That's canon now!))

[He says it through a sigh -- exasperation. His tone is 'oy vey', note for note.]
I guess we do? We haven't really talked much about it. She wears purple, shoots a bow, and if a problem comes up and needs fixing she does what I'd do - only better. That's just who she is.
[It isn't actually an easy thing to articulate. He had chosen Kate as his successor, true, but she had chosen herself for the role as well. And at basically the same time. Yes they're both active at once, but Clint doesn't really tell her what to do or encourage her to use him as a template. Much more often, Clint defers to her. The important part, of course, isn't that she shoots a bow, and it isn't that she wears purple.
It's that Hawkeye is who Kate is.]

[Keith smirked a little.]
Huh. I didn't think super hero types shared names like that.
no subject
[Although there was the new spiderman, and two ms. marvels now, and all the hulks, and Riri Williams. Sam Wilson and Steve both went by Captain America. Had he and Kate started something?]
Your world have super-hero types?

But, I don't know. What you call a group of people that team up together and pilot giant robot lions in a fight against an evil alien empire? And, yeah... the robot lions transform and combine to make an even bigger robot guy.
no subject
I've know good guys with robots and bad guys with robots. I guess it comes down to what you do with the robots.

[Keith shrugged a little.]
And, yeah... we're fighting against an empire that, for the last 10 thousand years, has been taking over planets, enslaving entire races, forcing people to fight for sport, experimenting on them, and draining natural resources to the point of a planet's destruction, so I'd like to think we're doing the right thing at least... that maybe we're the good guys.
