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!))

Good to know you're still as big an asshat as ever.
[ taking a few of her good things here in the fleet and already trying to poison them with his miserly and fatalist approach. old-school doom and gloom. ]

[ nice. responsible. stalwart. kate could say all kinds of nice things -- and ordinarily she might. but she's hesitant to fuel whatever fire both clint (and, coincidentally, lance) have sparked in their imaginations. ]
And he's got relevant experience doing this job in space. It seemed like a good idea to ask for his help.
[ there. she'll tell clint that much, then. she'd been captain prime, and had soon-after requested the opportunity to serve together. maybe he already knew it. maybe he didn't. she can't tell for certain how much poking around he'd already done. ]

[At this point he's probably just going to keep saying things that seem, to him, like they shouldn't be inflammatory. Although he might be better off trying for whatever the vocal equivalent of water would be. Clint held his hand in a dart-hurling pinch but thought better of the follow-through, instead handing the handful of darts to Kate. It seemed like she needed to hurl things more than he did.]
I'm sorry for messing with your shot.
[Or, for trying to.]
I was going for a Robin-hood-thing.
[So at least it was on-brand.]

[ -- she looks at the dog, just then. it's a great excuse to ignore the darts a moment longer. three, two, one, before she snatches them out of his hand. and shakes her head with a sigh. ]
Yeah. That's your new MO isn't it? Travelling outlaw, 'cept without actually being outside the law.
[ gotta love that acquittal. her lip curls. ]
action »
[He'd like to think Kate wasn't being as malicious as she seemed. He'd like to believe she wasn't trying to throw shade on him for dodging a legal bullet that, were it up to him, he would have stood and taken gratefully.]
Between, what, harboring fugitives and orchestrating acts of terrorism. Threatening the common good.

[ if he's looking to hook her curiosity, then he's got it barb and sinker and all. ]
What fugitives?
