[ 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. ]

That sounds like a sensible way to handle it to me. So you're from a magical society? Have you met Severus Snape? He is, too.

[lightmagic]

Severus? Yes, I know him. We come from the same world.

[alsohawkeye]

Oh, really? He and I have worked together, he's been very helpful with some of the projects in progress. He's only told me a little about your world but it sounds very interesting.

[lightmagic]

Keeping busy sounds like a good plan, here.

I think it's very interesting, but I may be biased. I could fill in some blanks sometime, if you'd like.

[alsohawkeye]

I'd love that. We have magic in my world but it sounds very different from yours. I'd definitely like to learn more if you wanted to get coffee or lunch or something sometime. And yes, keeping busy is key. Space is surprisingly boring.

[lightmagic]

Oh, I'd love that. I've love to hear more about the magic from your world, as well.

Even a ship this large still feels confining.

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah, it's a strange place like that. I'm actually headed out on a recon mission to try to map more of it, but when I get back I'll let you know.

[lightmagic]

Of course! I have plenty of free time, so whenever you get back will be fine.
