Training Sims

[ The recording is short, the quality decent, not wobbly and handheld, at least. Kate appears from the shoulders up and lifts a hand into the frame in a brief wave. There's a quick glimpse of a dark tattoo on the inside of her wrist. ]

Hi. I'm Kate Bishop, and after all that weird crap at Olympus I assume I'm not the only one looking to get in a little more simulation time to get back on the horse or brush up some skills. I've helped people train in the past in a few different areas, and I'd like to offer that again if anyone is interested. I've got fairly wide experience as an operative, and a pretty broad aptitude set. Except for technical stuff. I'm no good at that, but that just means if you are, I'd take some training in that as trade.

Anyway, I'm attaching a list of some stuff I've offered in the past, but I'm also open to ideas if there's something in particular you're looking to work on. Let me know the skills you're interested in, or the type of matrix you'd like to experience, whatever your parameters are, and we can work something out. We can mash a few of the usual options together, or make up something totally different.

Any skill level is welcome, I'm just as happy to work with people who were unplugged yesterday as people who're vets and just want to stretch out or knock some rust off. If you're training to try to get onto a crew, or just want to poke around and try out some new things, that's cool too, seriousness levels are also flexible. Oh, and payment, that's flexible too. My favorites are coffee and trading skills for skills, but we can always work something out as long as you're honest. Respond here or message me privately if you're interested or have questions.

Yeah, he's got a vest.

[ Kate says this like it's perfectly reasonable, or at least more reasonable than the idea of him wearing a full set of clothes. Like oh don't worry it's just a vest not a suit or something. This is all weird. But: ]

There must be other people here who aren't human in the matrix.

[jomi]

Yeah, sure, but as far as I've heard they're at least human-shaped. Bipedal. More than a couple feet tall.

[ He's going to cherish this forever. ]

Draw him in a vest.

[alsohawkeye]

No! No way, one drawing was enough.

[ It's the sort of refusal that is just dying to be agreement, but is teetering on the edge of principles. It usually doesn't take much in the way of incentive to get her to fall off on the right side. ]

[ There is not silence, precisely, but there is a sudden muffling—hand over mouthpiece muffling—and muted voices and shuffling, followed by the voice of a sleepy six-year-old girl: ]

I want to see him in a vest.

[alsohawkeye]

Oh my god Jomi you are such a-- hi Thais. [ Kate's eye-rolling, half-laughed exclamation is cut off to something more friendly and appropriate to sleepy six year olds. ]

Alright, fine, maybe just for you. Put your dad back on and then sleep tight, okay?

[alsohawkeye]

I guess it was really more like a vest and pants now that I think about it, and he mostly wore stuff more appropriate to the actual matrix we were in, but anyway, FOR THAIS'S EYES ONLY:
