— it should be on now. You know, I think this is the first time I’ve tried talking to the network like this since I got here but anyway, not the point. I guess we should start with introductions, huh?

Hello Tranquility! My name is Chuck [ She waves at first, still smiling before she turns the screen so a certain someone can be seen beside her ] and this is Ned.

[ “And this is Ned—” Well, he’s slightly distracted with that dream-like smile towards Chuck, shattered once he glances towards the screen. Lost. ]

Oh, right. Some of us have spoken before annnnddd... [ Looking back to Chuck. And? ]

This is probably a good a time as any to bring this up since the jump is over and we have some new people here, so I was thinking maybe if there are people interested we could try starting up a club of sorts?

[ Ned abruptly leans forward, standing on his toes. His turn, his turn! ]

Right, “a club of sorts” for... pets. Companions. Whatever is considered “socially acceptable.” [ A bark can be heard from Digby. ] Friends.

Yes, exactly— after all, there seem to be quite a few of us already so it could be something fun to do. There could even be activities or other things like that.

So, there you go. Tranquility for the Tranquility. Just something to pass the time. Maybe a normal thing every month? After jumps.[ Pause. ] You know jumps, fun stuff.

[ She looks over at Ned affectionately before she nods ] That’s about it, I think. Let us know your thoughts on it?

Anything. Anything at all. [ He’s looking back. ] Yeah.

[ Okay, enough with the odd couple staring. The feed ends. ]

[ooc; Chuck and Ned, both will be responding ]

[He speaks with great emphasis.]

Will people be included even if they do not have pets.

Oh— well I don't see why not.

Good. I have talked to a number of people this evening who enjoy being around pets. They would like this chance.

"Friends" is probably a good word for it. Or family.

Yeah, both are good words for it actually.

Definitely.

There a limit on species?

Does you invitation extend to the gentleman with the dinosaur, I wonder.

Yes.

[ A pause. Can't just leave it at that. ]

Assuming it's... not bitey.

Of course it does.

We're not discriminating, so if he wants to join then he can.

[ have an off center camera and he's slightly staring away from the video but he's acknowledging it! ]

There's dogs and cats and animals like that here?

Yes, there are— quite a few actually.

My companion has a very full schedule of napping and grooming himself. But I'm sure he could find the time to attend.

Digby is very much the same, no worries there. We will gladly work around everyone's "schedule."

I'm sure it might be the same with others too, it's totally okay.

Cute idea, but I don't know that my hamster will be crazy about playing with anything that might mistake him for a snack.

Your hamster? Ah— right, that could be a problem, I'm sure we could figure something out though.

You're too cute to be a Chuck.

You think so?

Well it is my name and besides I am quite fond of it too.
