ataraxion | 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.

Yeah? What does that have to do with... no, you know what, don't tell me. The real answer couldn't possibly be as good as what I can make up.

There's not much to tell, other than there's gonna be two more to that movie, but what do I know?

The future's pretty good. I think you'll like it.

You know? I think I will. [HE SURE WILL
ALL, LIKE, 27 HOURS OF IT sad trombone] If we ever get out of here, that is. Still -- appreciate the heads-up.

[ If Isaac knew about your whole situation he would be walking out of this thread so fast he'll leave a burn mark on the floor. ]

That and Obama. Welcome to the future, man.

[would you say he'd
give him the cold shoulder]

DNC Obama? [what other Obama is there Brian you suck] Wait, don't tell me -- you were still a fetus in 2004.

[ oh jesus christ ]

—Hey, I was born 1993, I'm not a baby.

And I guess? I mean there's no other Obama in the public media that I know of, and he is Democrat, so. Why, you know him?

I've heard of him. What's he up to these days?

He's president of the United States. He called Kanye West a jackass.

That's a step up. Who's the Vice?

Joe Biden. That's about all I know, though, I'm not big on politics.

Well, it's a whole lot more than I knew before this conversation started. [and wow they've gone through a whole lot of conversation without:] The name's Rudy Cooper, by the way. Anything in particular I should be calling you? Future Boy doesn't really have a ring to it.

Future Boy's a lame hero name, anyway. [ herpy derpy ] I'm Isaac. Lahey, Isaac Lahey.

I hope you get to meet the future president when we get back, man.
