[ video ]

[ For a moment, the video appears to be stuck, as if in pause. The girl looking slightly askew of the camera is very still, and only the faint flutter of wind disturbing the bits of dark baby-hair sticking out from the top of her head indicates that the feed is, in fact, perfectly fine--

--and then, she snaps out of it, face gaining back it's animation and she blows her cheeks out, follows it up with a deep breath and nods. ]


So, uh.

Right.

[ Her hands come up in a sort of surrender, sort of awkward 'Hi, this is me' because wow this is weird, video calls when she is in her pajamas. Her salt-water-soaked-but-nevertheless-now-dry pajamas.

It is not comfortable. She doesn't mind Skyping with friends while dressed in her bedtime clothes, but wow, not like this.

She shakes her head, runs her fingers through her hair and huffs: ]


Okay let me start over.

[ The change is subtle, but the difference is huge. Shoulders straightened but not tense, she looks directly into the camera with purpose and suddenly it doesn't matter what she looks like. ]

Hello, my name is Katherine Bishop and I've just arrived in the city.

I've been appraised by the people who fished me out of the water on what little they seem to feel they can divulge, so you can consider this a shout-out to anyone who can supply me information that will give me a better idea of Turtle Land.

I haven't seen the city much, but I'm a keen observer and no stranger to tension in the atmosphere when I see it.

[ There's a brief and considering pause before she continues in a less blunt tone that leans more to negotiation. ] I have currently nothing to trade with or pay you by for the information and I know I don't really look like much at the moment, but I guarantee that I can offer you my resume and list of skillsets if you require all of that in writing.

[ A beat.] Also, if there is anyone from home out there who sees this, please drop me a message. I'm not even going to lie, guys. It would be awesome to see familiar faces right about now. [ There's a faint twitch of a smile at the corner of her mouth before she reaches over and the feed goes dark. ]

Video -> action

[Tommy looks like he's getting really impatient listening to her to try and explain where she is, and he eventually just waves a hand to stop her from trying whilst he hurriedly looks for his goggles. It's only occurring to him now how desperate to see her he probably looks. Nice going there Shepherd.]

Yeah, okay, fine. Just stay there, I'll find you.

[and then the video cuts out. It takes him a few minutes to actually track her down--because really Kate what kind of directions were they?--but he spots her, out of place in her pjs in the middle of a bustling street. He skids to a halt, sending a huge dust cloud up into the street, causing a few of the kedan to shout. He's actually used the time to compose himself too, and he grins at Kate. God she was a sight for sore eyes.]

Who you callin' slow?
crotcharrow: (&kate; sweet)

Oh no my feels

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-09-29 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
[he's not really sure what he's expecting Kate to do, but he's not surprised when she hugs him. He manages to pull the goggles down off his face just as she moves in and spreads his arms, pulling her tight and close to him. For all his flirting with other girls over the network, Tommy has really missed Kate.

He smiles against her shoulder and gives her a tight squeeze, pulling back after a few moments so he could get a good look at her.]


I'm loving the look you went for. Very slumber party.

[he grins widely.]
crotcharrow: (you're getting pretty hot and heavy)

oh no i cant hold all these feels

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-09-29 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He hadn't noticed the shoes, and looks down when she mentions it, laughing a little. He was going to probably have to carry her back. Not that that was a problem. In fact he was quite happy to.

Tommy slides his hands down to the small of her back so they were still slightly close and keeps them there probably longer than he should, only moving fully away when Kate starts to speak again. He runs a hand through his wind ruffled hair, and gives a small shrug.]


About a month? But it feels like longer. [he heaves a small sigh.] Me, Billy and Teddy all showed up the same day. So you're late.

[Tommy gives her a small smile, shrugging.]

Hey, we're a team, ain't we? You were with us--before we all ended up here. It was weird to be without you.

[is that a comment on their specific interactions as of late? Maybe.]
crotcharrow: (you're getting pretty hot and heavy)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-10-01 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He moves to swat her hand away, sticking his tongue right back out at her.]

I'm not admitting anything. No feelings, remember?
crotcharrow: (&kate; sweet)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-10-01 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's glad she drops it. He really has missed her. Probably more than he's willing to admit if that thing with Asami is anything to go off. He blinks up at her and then smiles a little and then in one fluid movement too fast for the naked eye to see, he's swept her off her feet and is holding her close to him.]

Home I guess. We live in a giant treehouse. It's pretty awesome.
crotcharrow: (&kate; oh my god you're so fast)

[personal profile] crotcharrow 2012-10-02 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs at that and makes sure he's holding her securely before sprinting off toward the Wood Sector, not going nearly as fast as he had been to get to her, which would let her take in all the sights as the sped past if she wanted to. He holds her close to him--closer than he's held anyone else on this giant reptile--and is very careful about not being too bumpy.]

Oh totally. We can also have a 'No Kedan' sign outside the door and a supply of acorns to throw at any who walk past. [That's what kids do in treehouses, right? He never had one.]
