[Kate is in Times Square. It's as crowded as it ever is, but you might notice an unusually high number of sailors wandering around. Kate is clearly admiring the view from her perch at an outdoor table.]

Ah, Fleet Week. It just wouldn't be May without it.

[Aw, yeah. Look at those tight white bell bottoms...

And suddenly back to reality.]

Okay. Travel plans for the summer: who has them? I'm talking road trips, vacations, camps, missions, yadda, yadda, yadda. Who is heading out of the City and where are you going?

Also, can I come too?

[ Kitty looks just a bit uncomfortable. Just a bit. ]

So the world really is the same out there?

[recurve]

Yeah, more or less. There's a couple new countries and some places are missing, but this is basically Earth.

[manto]

Huh, figures.

Where the hell do you put a country that's missing anyway?

video;

[recurve]

In a history book.

Oooooh smarty pants.

We're going to get along just fine.

[recurve]

Smarty pants is my middle name.

I'm Kate and you are new in town, I take it.

[manto]

Kate smarty pants huh? Easy to remember.

I'm Kitty and yeah, I'm fresh from my crappy world. Hi.

If you come in peace, I welcome you. If not, I still welcome you.

Sorry your world sucks. This one has it's moments of overwhelming terrible, but generally speaking, it's lovely.

I come with no intention to make a ruckus. I hope that does it.

Sounds like a vacation. And you were talking about vacations.

video;

[recurve]

That's good enough for me.

It is a vacation of sorts. But summer in New York is miserable. A girl can't help but daydream of fresh air and wide open spaces.

I have the feeling I'm going to be using this time to explore the city. Maybe brood over some rooftop and become the scourge of the underworld before I go to school again.

[ Sounds like she's joking but she's actually more serious than she would like to admit. ]

[recurve]

That sounds like me when I first got here.

[manto]

Did it go well for you? I might be taking notes.

[deadthenred]

You shouldn't be hanging around Navy-types. They're unsavory.

voice...

[gevurah]

[ She can't help a smile at the crew members. ]

You don't have any plans yet?

[recurve]

The exploring part did. The brooding part got really old really quickly.

[recurve]

But they seem so friendly.

voice...

[recurve]

Nothing besides a trip to Coney Island.

[deadthenred]

Oh, I didn't say they weren't friendly.

[recurve]

And they're so polite...

[deadthenred]

Lotta crooks are polite, you know.

[recurve]

And those bell bottoms...

permavoice!

[gevurah]

With friends?

[deadthenred]

Those are the pants, right?

[recurve]

Mmhmm.
