[ The camera is met with an angry-looking Kate, one angle of her jaw flexing as teeth clench. Her forearms are folded on the tabletop in front of her and she leans her weight onto them. The way she launches right in gives the impression she's been holding back this bad mood for a while before giving in. ]

Okay, so first of all, whoever stole my bow at the jump: bring it back. It's a cheap piece of crap anyway and it's not like we have arrows laying around but it's the only one I have here and there aren't any more in the armory and it's not exactly an inconspicuous weapon so what are you even going to do with it without me finding you?? Seriously, just bring it back before you damage it somehow and I promise I won't hit you with it no matter how tempted I am.

And speaking of people around here being total assholes [ Because whatever, she's started now and trying to make her no-hitting promise sincere just has the frustration shunting off into another topic, ], is someone turning people into animals seriously allowed now? That's just a thing we're cool with, going to let that slide on by, no brig time involved? [ She's not generally a very animated speaker but her hands twist off the table into the air into a 'seriously?' gesture. ] FYI never annoy this Gold guy because I guess he can just turn you into a cat if he feels like it and nobody will ever do anything. If I disappear after posting this be on the look-out for new pets wandering around or something. On second thought maybe that'd be a nice change from this place's bullshit for a while. Gold, if you're watching, just make it a dog or a bird or something, alright? Cool.

[ It's hard to make a dramatic exit on a touch-screen device but she pushes the STOP button as abruptly as she can anyway. Hawkeye out. Nope, wait, spoke too soon. It starts up again after a second just long enough for her to shout: ]

And bring me back my god damn bow!

[ Okay, now it's done. ]

It'd probably drive a cat nuts, they'd be so confused. It's pretty fun for humans, though. I'd recommend giving it a try if you haven't yet.

You're on Team Perugia for recon this month, right? I'm so glad this is our introduction. [ She is so good at life today. ]

Between that and really exploring the gardens, I'm not sure what I should try first. So much advice, so little time. No that's a lie. I have nothing but time. Yeah, I am! I have to admit I was a little concerned when you went from stolen property to cats without missing a beat, but I've come to the conclusion that I kind of like it. I'm Claire Bennet.

[ She's not going to admit that she's been calling it Team Pierogi in her head. ]

I'd say do both at once but I don't think we can control the gravity in the gardens.

Kate Bishop. I'm not usually this weird and angry, I promise. Or this angry, at least. Things are always pretty weird, to be honest.

Someone told me there's a dinosaur in there. I can't decide if that's something I'd want to see floating around or not. That's fair, and I don't mind weird or angry, under the right circumstances. Angry, at least. Weird is always a plus. Have you heard anything about your bow?

Now there's an idea. Would it be easier or harder to fight a dinosaur in zero g? Easier, I guess. They'd probably be too dumb to figure out how to move around. It's amazing how little it takes to send you bumping into things.

Liking weird's a good start for this place. And nothing yet. I'm not getting my hopes up, to be honest. There are elves in the gardens too, maybe one of them knows how to make a bow.

Hahahaha. Imagine a T-Rex floating around, trying to reach you with his little arms. I don't understand why someone would steal something like that, all things considered. Unless it's some kind of stupid grudge thing. Did you make anyone mad this month?

Having to push himself around with his nose because he can't reach any of the trees. I'm hoping the dinosaur in the gardens thing is true, now. We could probably ride him.

I don't think I'm the only person on board who knows how to use a bow, and they don't just hand out guns, but it is kind of a weird thing to take. As far as I know I haven't pissed anyone off until today.

I wonder if we would need to rig up some kind of saddle. Well I'll keep an eye out for it, teammate to teammate. Not that I would know what to even look for but if there's someone around using a bow as like a spatula or something, I'll let you know.

Please do. Even if it turns out not to be my bow that's probably someone we should be keeping an eye on.

We'd have to know how big it is for a saddle and I've never been able to get a straight answer about the type of dinosaur. I've been picturing raptors but hoping for t-rex.

[ Kate, stop. ]

I can see now how this team thing is going to work between us. Maybe we should get jackets. The mascot can be Team Pierogi riding raptors.

Perugia.

You know of all the foods I miss I would not have listed pierogis but suddenly I would kill for Veselka's.

And team jackets for sure. Have you met our other three teammates? Because I know two and imagining their faces is pretty great.

Then my work here is done. I'm all about inspiring cravings for eastern European dumplings. Time to close up shop. I haven't, not, but if they're half as funny as you then I don't think anything is going to get done on this whole recon thing.

Wow, thanks for those. Now I have no idea what to make of you. On the one hand, seems cool, on the other hand, obviously evil?? [ This is such a Hawkeye problem. ]

I guess it's for the good of the ship then that they probably won't get it. I like Emma but she'll probably think it's weird, and Bucky has his moments but is kind of going through some stuff. No idea about Hook. I wonder if he'll have a giant hat and mustache?

[ Instant curiosity about Bucky and this stuff he is going through, but she doesn't address it. ]

I don't know how I feel about someone who might find jacket raptors weird. What's weird about it? That's just ridiculous. I'll only be able to get behind Hook if he does have a giant hat and mustache. That way we'll match as we dance away while twirling our obviously evil mustaches.

I mean it could be a raptor who wears a jacket, that'd be much weirder.

Also I just met Hook like literally twelve seconds ago and he doesn't have a hat or a mustache?? I'm pretty disappointed. But he is kind of hot, so there's that.

Not as weird as a raptor who wears a top hat. I'm not even sure where that came from. I guess being hot kind of makes up for the missing hat and mustache. But only slightly. Wait, does he have a hook? That's probably a stupid question, but I just want to be sure.

He does.

[ And he can also read, thank you. ]

Oh hi. That's what I said! We're glad. [ Ahahahahaha awkward. Watch Kate grin in the face of it as if oblivious. ]

[ Glad he lost his hand?? Wow excuse you. ] Let me guess. You reckon Peter Pan's a hero, Neverland's full of magic and fairies — and something about a crocodile.

[ Just slightly wry, but there's no real offense taken. ]
