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.

'Shut up'.

Oh, wait, people told me that. [She laughs a little, awkwardly.] Anyway.

Well...actually, not much else. Shut up and listen. It didn't work for me because I'm stupid, but maybe you're not a moron. I'm Liberty. Wave 8, number 189.

I think the selection process is random. Not everyone receives something new in their lockers each month; the last things I got happened a few months ago.

That there wasn't any chocolate.

[Somebody has to lighten the mood.]

Also, Virginia would like to disagree.

[ Seems legit. After all, she is a giant talking rock. ]

I do not know, but I have never heard of it.

Why is it "for lovers" and why is such a thing advertised? It seems to me that it would not be something one would wish to boast about, unless one wishes to attract the spread of disease and fluids.

People like to talk. I'm no exception. [Her shrug is all but audible, appreciating his apparent patience. It's a rare thing to her.] Liberty--

[She shouldn't--]

Liberty Edgeworth-Pinkman. Sort of a mouthful, I know. EP works just fine. Whatever. You need any weapons? I'm spotting newbies tasers. It seems fair.

[Leave Libby blissfully unaware and have all the tech you could ever need, Brian.]

I could...try? But I'm not a chemist. I'd probs mess it up.

Here, being the Tranquility with no chocolate or Nebraska being a copycat?

And I live in D.C. so I have to be respectful of my neighbors so they don't come and T.P. my 'hood.

I'm sort of considering just making enough to cover every Jump. Like, having people in debt is good, just...

Not giving them a shot is seriously messed up. Where do you want the delivery? I'll hook you up.

Hmm. Well, that is good, I suppose. [ Because fluids 8( ] Still an odd advertisement, and an odd thing to be given.

Nope, sorry. Corn has done nothing for nobody's libido.

[ Everything is dark, like the camera is being covered by a hand. ]

You're right about the stars, it is disappointing that we can't see out of the ship. But purrhaps this will make things a little more exciting fur you.

[ Aannddd the hand is removed to reveal a Homestuck. Troll. Weird grey skinned alien. ]

Ta-da! Not green, but I've got green blood! Close enough. [ wow she should not be revealing this to brian oH WELL. ]

I'm afuraid I don't have a very good answer to your question beclaws most of the questions I have, I either haven't found an answer or simply haven't asked. But if you don't mind I have a question fur you!

What's a Nebraska?

[ If the answer is not "the greatest state in the Midwest" it is not a correct answer. ]

[ well. that's certainly a shirt. ]

As far as I know, the items we receive are merely a product of the ship's sense of humour. No doubt it thinks it's hilarious.
