[OOC: Things have been super stressful at work so I could not sleep last night, so I ended up getting up even earlier than my usual 4:30 a.m. to watch it, LOL.]

Well now I know you're lying. I don't need a heartbeat for that. 'cause I'm brilliant.

It felt weird at first. Then I realized that it wasn't really about me. People like symbols. I've tried to make Daredevil a good one.

They're fancy dances, it's gonna be a fancy gala. I do actually know how to tango. Although my partner has to lead in public.

[ooc: LOL between the pros and cons of not being able to sleep Daredevil won. XD I had the premiere last night and spent all night translating and putting subtitles to the conference. So tired. XD]

Did you ask your ego about that?

Probably better than Devil from Hell's Kitchen too. Even if it kinda has its charm.

Exactly my point, I wanna ruin the fancy gala by twerking. Not because I can't tango!

From:

streetlevel

My incredibly smart brain was also an accomplice.

The Devil feels fitting sometimes. Whether I want it to or not.

I don't know what that really is but it sounds like an offense to the art of dance, and therefore, I can't be part of it. Fisk needs to be brought down, not dance itself.

From:

hawk_shot

I would be suspiscious, I think it's conning you.

We never talked about... I mean, I'm not sure if it's okay to ask you about what happened with Bullseye. Not tonight, the smashing his head is cool. I mean before the trial.

Your lack of trust really hurts me, Matt. And here I thought you wanted a dance-off with Fisk.

From:

streetlevel

If you can't trust yourself, who can you trust?

... I heard it, Kate. I knew Foggy's heartbeat better than anyone's. Even when shot, I could pick it out. I heard it stop. I just... I didn't know Bullseye would live, doing what I did. In that moment, I didn't care. Some hero.

He's unfortunately not a bad dancer, either. I'm better, though.

From:

hawk_shot

When a dear friend grabs your hand and says 'it's time to stop posting'.

Some human, you mean? I don't think anyone can blame you for that. In fact, with the shit you faced I'm surprised you didn't do that before. But... I mean the aftermath.

I'm kinda worried over the fact that you know he is not a bad dancer.

From:

streetlevel

I don't have a single social media account. Because I'm smart.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. After I tossed him off the roof? I went to see Foggy's family.

I hear many things, Kate. Most of which I don't want to know.

From:

hawk_shot

For real? Not one? You're totally a Snapchat guy then.

I mean how you're dealing with that. Aside from getting a girlfriend who is a therapist. [She pauses.] Great move, by the way.

But have you heard how you have to shake that ass?

From:

streetlevel

I have never snapped a chat. Unless I was mad during a chat and snapped.

Ha. Yeah. Apparently it's a violation for her to date a patient, so. Dodged that therapy bullet. ... as for the rest, I don't know. I never wanted to think I'd cross that line. I don't think violence like that has to be a part of being human.

Waltz that ass. Tango it. Perhaps a foxtrot here and there.

From:

hawk_shot

That's so not what Snapchat does. Well, not normally.

Until she surprises you by hooking you up with a colleague. But yeah, that's what I thought. Of how you see things, I mean. Are you okay? I can't believe I'm only now asking this.

I'm not even sure which one is foxtrot.

From:

streetlevel

I figured not, but I can't resist a good wordplay.

If it helps, I doubt I'm any better talking about it now than I would have been back then. 'cause honestly? I don't know. As okay as I can be. As okay as I have to be.

You have much to learn.

From:

hawk_shot

You're a total Dorkdevil.

Well, it's not like these things come with guidelines. I don't know, I don't really know how these things work and I'm probably talking out of my ass. And you probably already know this, but.... Just know that you're not alone and that a moment of real pain doesn't define who you are.

And you're gonna be my mentor?

From:

streetlevel

Sure it's not a clever devil?

Maybe nobody really knows. Maybe what matters is staying around long enough to say it. And long enough to hear it. I'm trying to do better at the sticking around part. Seems there are people who are worth it.

I'd be happy to teach you how to dance.

From:

hawk_shot

That's not even wordplay, Matt.

Well, duh. You have great friends, of course it's worth sticking around. But you also gotta look after yourself. You're always super kind to others, you should put that to practice with yourself too.

Excuse you? I totally know how to dance. I just don't know some of your old-ass styles.

From:

streetlevel

It's a good phrase.

Is this a pot and kettle situation, Ms. Bishop?

And what styles besides the classics do you know, then? Besides twerking.

From:

hawk_shot

If I get you a t-shirt with that will you wear it over your costume?

.... What? No! Me?

Well... I've nailed some TikTok challenges.

From:

streetlevel

It would be funnier if it said "I'm not Daredevil."

Mhm, that's what I thought.

What style of dance are those?

From:

hawk_shot

I'm getting that for your birthday.
... When is your birthday?

There's nothing to think about, Matt. I'm totally fine! I'm not going through what you went through.

You know, challenges. Short and cool choreographies. [A beat.] Oh! You and Kirsten should make an account for the firm! You would attract so many new clients that way!

From:

streetlevel

October 21st. I'm a Libra, so whatever that means.

Weren't you the one who said not to set aside one's own pain by comparing it to someone else's?

Dance challenges are not quite how we want to advertise ourselves. Especially when I don't even know what constitutes these challenges. It could be anything from hip hop to naked conga lines.

From:

hawk_shot

It means you cover your eyes and hold scales? I'm also getting you a sword for your birthday.

... No. I just... I said nothing about comparing!

Oh, please. You really think I'd make you do a naked conga?

From:

streetlevel

I have used a sword in the past. Though not often.

You said not to disregard one's own pain because another might be going through shit. Sounds like a comparison to me. Take your own point.

I absolutely think you'd try and get me to do a naked conga.

From:

hawk_shot

You're shitting me! Really??

... Well, fine. I did it just now. Still not a pot and kettle situation.

Even if I did Kirsten would support me. You'd totally go viral as the ho-- [No, not hot! Kate coughs in a very smooth save.] Honest, naked, blind lawyer. There would be thirst fancams and everything.

From:

streetlevel

Really.

Why does the thought of being kind to yourself bother you so much?

Not my kind of advertising. When you figure out what you want to do with your life, you can naked conga line it to fame all you want.

From:

hawk_shot

We need to spar sometime. So bad.

It's not like that, it doesn't bother me. But I don't think I'm unkind to myself. You think I'm unkind to myself?

Maybe I will. Maybe I'll take control of Bishop Security's social media.

From:

streetlevel

We definitely can. I'm very rusty with a sword, but I was trained by a ninja so it's crossed my path.

I think you're sometimes very hard on yourself. And you put others ahead of yourself even when you might have needs, too.

If that's a real job, I think you'd do it well.
