so new people showing
hi everyone! I'm Kate, or Hawkeye
there's a lot of younger people in the mix as well
before the adults get involved and start poo pooing the idea of *kids* saving the world
I'm sure mine isn't the only one that's been saved by the younger gen a time or two

anyway
I've found a building here that is basically mine from home
my home
it's marked as Bishop Publishing

any teens or 20 somethings need a place to hangout
it's open
there's several games, an archery range, gym, and a lot of other things that can be used to either train or just relax


[address of building here]

feel free to join us
it's all good

That's life for you, I guess. You don't know what you're doing while you're in the middle of it.

But I'll stop making you recount your backstory. I've learned what I needed to know. Which is that we're not starting with an FPS, because I'm concerned some of those real life hand-eye coordination skills will translate.

Consider him preemptively devastated.

Quick question, though: how concerned do I have to be about going through a wall after we kick his ass? I'll still do it if the answer is 'very'. I just want to be prepared.

You say that now, but he's never played a video game against me.

But I could handle some light teleporting. Let's see if he's around when I drop by.

Also assuming from context that this is a teammate, so I'll try not to ruin your working relationship with hard feelings.

Leaving the rabble in the apartments? I see how it is.

I'm kidding. Good for you. I'm not sure how much less surreal that makes this, but at least you've got your own room.
equivo: (how'd you know that's just what i like?)

Not to sound paranoid, but how much does sweeping for bugs matter when we're all carrying them around on top of our ears?

Unless you're planning to ban them from the building, which isn't the worst idea.

Concern about sounding paranoid retracted.

You have me beat on that one. Are you thinking someone else here might be spying on us?

I'm hoping you mean that in general, and not about here specifically.

But then again, I guess it's not paranoia if they are out to get you. There are going to be people willing to sabotage everyone else to give their world more of a chance, aren't there? Spying on people would fit with that.

Sorry. Not the most optimistic thought. And one you obviously already had. Thanks for looking out.

No. We haven't. Just another unknown for the mystery board.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm kind of relieved that we ended up with so many people who have handled things like this before. I'm trying to pull my weight, but when it comes down to it, I don't have the experience you do. I don't even know where to start.

But when I say it like that, I can't help but feel like it's a cop out.

Maybe I should be hoping for that hypothetical Tron situation. That, I could do something with.

[ Of all the possible answers Krouse was expecting, this wasn't even close to one of them. It's honest and vulnerable and brave, and she doesn't know she's wasting all of it on someone who isn't even real.

A faded pang of guilt comes easy and already tired, a ghost curling up in a dusty corner of his chest. He can deal with it. He always does. ]


It's not all on you to figure out. I know you know that, but for the record, I don't think anyone is expecting it out of you, either. And if they are, they're a dick.

And speaking for myself, I'm responsible for me. I won't turn down a timely arrow, if the occasion arises, but in case I was on the list, go ahead and take me off. I'll get myself sorted out.

I'm sorry about your friend. Glad you got her back.

Good thing we're not in a scenario creating any kind of pressure to overachieve. Then you'd really have a problem.

Thanks back at you. Mostly for the console access, if I'm being completely honest, but the arrow thing is also reassuring.

I should get going, but see you around?

You got it.
