( 002 ) video ✶ strangers waiting up and down the boulevard

[unparental]

[ sup, fellow space kidnapees. a considerably more relaxed jenna, here. ]

Okay: so here's a question that doesn't have anything to do with your spaceship related skills or why we shouldn't wander off by ourselves.

If we're all stuck here together-- the together part is key-- doesn't it make sense to get to know each other a little? I'm not saying we need nightly family dinner, but maybe one time so everyone can meet, exchange names, mingle, develop basic connections?

...And make a roster, maybe. Because asking if 'that really taciturn guy I met by the elevator' is okay doesn't have the same ring as a name. [ sup spock. ] And not to be looking at the negative already, but that way people without someone they already know here don't end up slipping through the cracks.

[ she spreads her hands wide and grins, teasingly. ]

So, are we in? Because if we all have to shower together, we should probably have dinner first.

Oh, and one more thing. [ jenna holds up an iPod, waving it a little. ] Can anyone in the science club tell me they can recharge this? I have an almost full battery, but that's not going to last forever. I can trade... I don't know, something for it. We can work it out.

So. How-- [ are we ] are you?

[ are we still dating? ] We should probably talk, right? Even if it's just me getting advice.

I know it's selfish, and I know it's the last thing you want to think about but I don't want to do this alone, Ric.

I would be more than interested in a meetup. [Especially if there's food. Stats is in TOTAL FOOD TASTING MODE.]

[unparental]

[ food will be there in abundance, if jenna has anything to say about it. ]

So that's one.

[Jenna you said the magic words.]

Spuds--there's some kind of garden around here, right? All the renewable, endless potato power you could ever need, growing in the very earth you and I walk on.

...In a space ship.

Roster sounds fantastic. Who's workin' on that?

[audio]

[unparental]

...Potato power. Do I want to ask?

And as for the roster, no one that I know of, right now. At least, no one who's gotten to me yet.

I am totally up for party planning.

[unparental]

Between you and me? I only went with the meeting angle to lure in any sticks in the mud. A party is exactly what I meant.

[babbletechno.livejournal.com]

A meeting not based around jobs sounds good, and a roster. Good idea.

What is that device for, anyway? [referring to the iPod, and the real reason he'd clicked on to this post]

[unparental]

I have grassroots support, then. Now I just have to... track everyone down and schedule things. This seemed so much more fun before work got involved. [ kidding, kidding. (mostly.) ]

...Oh, the iPod? It plays music. And a crappy solitaire game, because I nver got around to buying a new-- uh, sorry. It plays music, basically.

[coffeeking]

A roster is probably a good idea. And I wouldn't say no to dinner either.

voice

[unparental]

I'm glad so far, everyone's in favor. I was half expecting another angry grad student to start ranting about big brother.

[bearsthevision.livejournal.com]

A roster seems like a very good idea.

I'm not sure how to charge...whatever that is, though.

[unparental]

Now I just have to sucker someone more organized than me into making it.

An iPod, and hopefully a few other people do.

[circumitus]

...sounds good.

[At least she'll know what to put on the roster now.]

[unparental]

Another yes vote, good. Any chance you could help get the word out?

voice;

[of-two.livejournal.com]

I am, as you say, okay.


I have been somewhat preoccupied by the maintenance of a roster of my own design.

voice;

[unparental]

Good to hear.

Oh, is someone actually responsible taking roll? Because I'll happily not be in charge.

[voice]

[whatanovelty.livejournal.com]

[Hey, robot voice.]

Sounds good to me.

[voice]

[unparental]

[ robot voice momentary freakout over. jenna can roll with it. ]

Any new friends who might not have seen this you can spread the word to?

video;

[in-three.livejournal.com]

Can probably sync that thing up to the ship with some work. Can I take a look at it?

video;

[unparental]

Of course, totally. I'd owe you one.

[ OH MY GOD ALL THE IPODS ]

i'm making a charger for another person's shuffle
so if it works then i can probably make another for you if kirk doesn't have any luck
(but he'll probably have a lot of luck, let's be honest)

[ aaaand because he asked Mouse, too: ]

what kind of music do you have on it?

[ text ]

[unparental]

[ play all the ipods? ]

More help is better than none, trust me.

A pretty good mix. Um, hang on. Okay, actually: first track on shuffle is No Diggity, and the next one is Twist and Shout which should say more than just 'it's eclectic'.

[maskiruet.livejournal.com]

Both your ideas are good ones. How many others are on board?

[ o hai lady who wanted to know about where to find blood bags, natasha remembers you. ]

audio;

[unparental]

Thanks. [ o hai, chick who was suspicious of jenna. ] And I have absolutely no idea.

[voice]

[constructum]

I'm personally more then willing to find out who you all are.

Just name the time and place.

[voice]

[unparental]

Until I figure that out, hi. I'm Jenna. Now you know one of us.

voice;

[mistercocks.livejournal.com]

If you can decide on a spot we can all find, yeah, I'd be down.

voice;

[unparental]

I thought I saw a couple common room type places just down the hall. And if all else fails, we can send up flares.

And by send up flares, I mean advertise we have food and booze.

[surrogates]

[ in less awkward starts, ric chooses to address the public part of the message first. ]

Rule of thumb, rosters actually make everything about ten times easier. Trust me on this.

[ and in super duper awkward news, ric actually has to let the rest of it sink in before he says anything. ]

I know you don't. And I'm not- Stefan level of advice on this, but I can help. For the most part. You need it anyway, because it's new. [ hnngh. ] Don't ask everyone about the blood bags again, please.

Just for both of our sakes.

[ video | filtered | private | hackable ] forever

[unparental]

It's not like I know what I'm doing, Ric. [ her tone is sharp, defensive, then jenna sighs and shrugs. ] I didn't want to hurt anyone.

—science club?

[ Yes, that's all he's taking from your post, Jenna. If he lives in denial of another social get-together maybe that means he won't have to go. ]

( video )

[unparental]

Ah-ah-ah. Get together RSVP, then the secondary part of the post.

[ jenna will drag you kicking and screaming to her party, sir. take it like a man. ]

[iamwinchester.livejournal.com]

Somebody mentioned showerin' together?

video;

[unparental]

If you haven't already seen the coed bathrooms I'm going to wonder about your hygiene levels, Dean.

[ she teases because she loves. ]

[unparental]

The more, the merrier. I'd say we're all in this together, but it seems a little too Disney.
