01 ( video ) ✂ ICE TO MEET YOU

[WOW THIS POST IS SO EXCITING no, psych. it's an average man, holding his communicator in such a way as to just film his average face and average neck and the average background behind him. yawn. he appears to be wearing some kind of red t-shirt, and his expression falls somewhere between neutral and friendly.]

You know, most every kid dreams about going to space at some point, but I gotta say this isn't exactly what I pictured after seeing Star Wars for the first time. No stars, for one thing--you'd figure that would be one of the perks. A whole lot of walls, though. I'd ask about the resident status of little green men, but that might actually be offensive. [SHRUG. his smile is easy, if a little self-deprecating.] I've always been a Xena guy, myself. Funny how things work out.

Okay, okay--I did have a question when I started this, I swear. As a special bonus, it won't even start an ethics debate. This is an open network, right? Like one big interstellar Craigslist, internet arguments and all. I've already done some of the recommended reading--very informative, by the way--but in my experience there's not much an FAQ can do to replace real... experience. So. What's one thing you wish someone had told you when you first showed up here? Anything at all, doesn't matter what. [one corner of his mouth twists up for a moment, as if to say well, what can you do?] Not sure how much I can offer in return right off the bat, but hey, give me a few weeks. I'll owe you one.

[he pauses, looking at the camera with a wry edge to his otherwise still friendly grin.]

Also. Has anyone been able to figure how we end up with the stuff in our lockers? I mean, the--selection process. Because I for one would love to know the reasoning behind this. [he lowers the camera slightly to reveal that he is, in fact, wearing this.] Not disputing the logo, by the way. Just curious.

montana's got nicer weather.
yardbird: Man, I hit him with a 12-gauge and I didn't give him a chance to reload. (why did the dickhead cross the road?)

Some of the ship's "selection process" isn't half bad. Others... Well, guess I learned pretty fast just how much better I feel after I smash or rip somethin'. [Yeah, Murphy says "Fuck your gifts, Tranquility." What now.] If you wanna know the reason for 'em, though... [He scoffs.] I've got no idea.

As for your... question... I dunno. Some people were surprisingly straight with me when I first got here, so-- [More so than the bullshit Murphy had to put up with in Silent Hill, in any case.] --can't complain, really.

I will never ask what people do with their side dishes in the privacy of their own bedrooms.

An explanation as to how we got here would've been nice, but I don't think anyone's going to be offering that up anytime soon. [ Much as she wishes that weren't the case. ] Were you wearing that shirt before you ended up here?

No. I have my crystals, but that is it -- though the ship did give me one of those odd uniforms. [ In her size. It's weird. ] But there is no point to it.

I wish someone told me I was going to have a problem with clothes. The lack of them, really.

So you're from Nebraska?

Oh. [ a beat ] In which direction?

I'm from California, myself.

So it seems. They do not seem to be much protection, though.

[ Oh hay, Miami! Isaac might want to go there someday. ]

I'm from Beacon Hills. North California, though, we're ways away from the coast. What's it like in Florida?

Anything. They are not armor -- they are just as flimsy as the skin of most flesh creatures.

Something like that.

You've never seen the shirt before in your life?
