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. ]

There are. And 2007 isn't that far back. You just have to chill and stop living so fast and wild.

We're everyone's problem. Every time we go up in the air, we're unsafe. You don't like us because we're dangerous.

[ HE COULDN'T HELP HIMSELF sry bout the top gun, bro ]

[ Can you be canonically aware of a movie you're in. /unsure. Nathan doesn't get it, anyway. ]

So you're a photographer of some kind?

No. I've wanted to try it at home and had no time. So I figured I might as well try here since I don't have to work anymore. It was more of an after thought though. I didn't think I could just have a post of only the first question.

Lighting isn't going to be so great. All indoors shots, grainy. Or maybe camera equipment is better in the future.

Oh, right. I'll need to figure out another hobby to take up then. Space cameras would've been neat though, you've gotta admit.

You could learn to do something useful. Fly shuttles, maybe. Or poke around down in hydroponics. Start a debate society.

These all sound like a tremendous amount of effort though. I do enough work back home, if I'm going to be in hell, I'm not doing anything.

Uh huh. Well don't get me wrong, but that sounds a whole lot like giving up on this place before you start. You can make something decent of it if you try.
