So.

[ well hey, you guys, have a new face on the feed today. he's one of the new arrivals, trying to get used to this new space lifestyle!! which means friends are... probably a good thing. maybe. he's not sure yet, but he knows he needs to meet people. the ~general populace~, so to speak. ]

Space, huh?

[ wait no. he kind of frowns at that. worst opener. but then he considers all the posts that he's seen (memorized) since he's arrived and well, this ain't so bad. ]

I was... woooonnndering, uh. How many of you are from... New York City? Circa... 2011 or 2012. Ish.

[ man this is chalking up to be one of the most awkward experiences of his life. it's just-- this is like skype alright, except when you use skype you usually know who you're talking to-- here? way different. haha posting to a network, that's weird.

he is usually not this bad but you are also all strangers so. yeah. wait, here's a good idea. i mean, he has a lot of free time now so-- ]

Oh yeah and uh, does anyone know where I could get a camera? Thanks.

[ does he end the post now DOES HE END THE POST NOW he totally ends the post now! yes! good job, mike ross. you successfully completed the goal of posting a video post to the network. next time, maybe have an idea of what you want to talk about beforehand. ]

Boston, 2012 - born in Ithaca, though. It's not NYC, but it's not another time and/or universe. Counts for something around here, sadly.

And I'm guessing you mean a camera camera? Maybe check in with the science department. What do you need one for, planning a documentary? Indy space horror film?

Good enough for me! Even if your baseball team sucks.

[ oh yeah also-- ]

No! [ yes ] No, I just-- I don't know, I figured it might be a good hobby to take up. In the... interim.

video; </3

[growling]

You're lucky I don't care about baseball, otherwise you'd have just made a worthy enemy.

[ And wow that's totally not weird behavior. What do you want this camera for, really? Don't say sex tapes, don't say sex tapes. ]

The... interim. That's a nice way to put it. Personally, I'm thinking not having a visual and vivid record of the interim on this ship is the way to go.

[ Yesss didn't say sex tapes, gold star. ]

video; ;A;

[fraud]

Oh, good -- because the yankees are better.

[ WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK HE WANTS TO VIDEO TAPE? HE WAS THINKING LIKE FILM LIKE YOU KNOW, DEVELOPING PHOTOS god ]

... I suppose you might be right. And know more than me. Heh. Uh, what sort of hobbies do you suggest then?

i'm sorry ilu come back

[growling]

[ IT'S HIS FAULT FOR BEING WEIRD AND EVASIVE use your words mike god but oh wait hobbies what does Josh even say to that

sit in your room and stare mournfully at your Star of David, sit in your room and stare mournfully at the ceiling, have weird ass space nightmares, live weird ass space nightmares, turn into a wolf once a month, try to pretend you are TOTALLY NORMAL and not doing all of those things?? good hobbies Josh. ]

Uh. We've got libraries? And... tea.

nnnnooo je refuse

[fraud]

[ there is a really long blank look before -- ]

I'm not British.

shhhhhhhh

[growling]

[ Have a mutual stare, though this one's more annoyed than blank. ]

Right, okay, my mistake. I think there's a shooting range and a bar, if that's more up your alley.

o9

[fraud]

That's not what I meant. Oh my god. It just sounds very... British when you say it in conjunction with each other.

[ a pause ]

What type of books though? I mean... I've read uh, a lot. So...

[growling]

Sorry, my bad. I'll try to avoid accidental British connotations in the future.

[ a pause right back at you ]

You probably haven't read these ones. You know, being as they're on a spaceship in the future. I have yet to run into much "classic" literature on this thing. I would say it's a diverse collection, but honestly, even the non-fiction mostly reads like sci-fi.

[fraud]

[ uggghh he kind of rubs his forehead then, sighing ]

You know, the sarcasm and general condescending tone? Not really appreciated, thanks. But I'll look into this.

[growling]

I'd apologize, but considering it'd be sarcasm - I'll respect your wishes and skip it.
