Never thought I'd miss Twitter. Be a lot more efficient around here if people kept their PSAs to 140 characters or less.

[Count on another ren faire escapee to trigger an accidental video (or...perhaps not so accidental, although he's certainly ignoring the device at first) as he wrecks electrical mayhem in the holodeck. It's an impressive lightning storm, if you go in for that kind of thing, the figure in the center of it blindingly illuminated as electricity arcs and scorches in wide blazing bursts, the triggered sprinkler system doing nothing to quell it.

Eventually, it dies down, and the man in the middle of it with a rather ragged beard takes a swig from a bottle.]


You know, [he says, conversationally; this isn't an accident, then] I think we ought to vote on a name change for this Maker accursed ship. My darling friend Isabela hinted to me once--pirate captain, lovely woman, would rob you blind in a flash--I believe hinted to me that renaming a ship and properly anointing it with--ah, 'dancing' and alcohol could shift a curse. What with all the murder and mayhem and general poor attitudes I believe we're overdue!

I say we call her the good ship Meredith. But that's only after an old friend. Absolutely mad and murderous. I think it's fitting--oh, oh, or The Death Trap! Something spooky and doom inducing, at least. Who's with me?

[He fixes the camera with his most dazzling (soaked, drunk) smile.]

[ on flips the feed, and the sleeve of someone's jumpsuit is the first thing that is seen. It’s not exactly intentional, just Ariadne attempting to situate herself on the floor of her cabin before she addresses the network properly. ]

Um…I guess I should start by saying; Hi. [ she starts out casually, letting her device finally focus up on her face, as she offers the network a ghost of a smile. ] I know some of you don't exactly know me – which happens – it's a big ship. [ a beat, her hand going to the back of her neck as she unconsciously starts to rub it, quickly thinking out her next few words. ] But I've been here…going on ten months, maybe? [ she's honestly not exactly sure the exact time frame anymore, but whatever it is now, it's been a long ass time and she feels like she can at least say something about things now. ]

Anyway... [ she sighs, her head bobbing slightly as she lets out a small hum at her next few thoughts. ] I know we have security and all – I honestly don't see any reason to change that - but we shouldn’t be expecting them to be looking out for everyone – it's not possible – there's too many of us for that.

So…[ on to the point of her actually even addressing the network. ] has anyone thought about maybe creating floor monitors - people that could honestly focus their attention on the people on their own floors? [ a beat, her nose crinkling slightly ] And no, not someone that pries into everyone's business - just someone that at least would know the goings on with their floors. And yeah I know people have mentioned the buddy system - which is a good idea to a point. But I still think floor monitors might be something we should look into.

I don't know. Maybe this has already been mentioned as a thought. But it just seems like a good idea to know your neighbors.

[ she stops there, again offering the network a faint smile, shrugging a shoulder slightly as she does, figuring if people honestly had thoughts to add or questions, they would. so she doesn't exactly feel the need to expand further on her thoughts here.

but not a second later and another thought occurs to her, and she is adding: ]
Also, I'm looking at redoing the maps – adding things and what not – if anyone has anything to offer with that, I'd welcome the help.
