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. ]

[ he sucks in a breath and lets out a sigh ]

Ei·det·ic. Ajdective. ī-ˈde-tik. Marked by or involving extraordinarily accurate and vivid recall especially of visual images. Or pertaining to a memory or mental image of perfect clarity, as though actually visible. From German eidetisch, from Ancient Greek εἰδητικός, from εἶδος, "form". I have an eidetic memory.

[ why does no one get this like him, sheesh. it's not like it's hard or anything. ]

[ mike she likes you, you're weird and maybe mormon but you're a decent dude. ]

It's a habit.

[ rubs the back of his neck awkwardly ]

Usually I can use less but uh, then I don't.

[ no mike you don't need to explain ]

[ mike stop being xander. ]

Doesn't actually bug me, I guess.

[fraud]

Oh.

[ wonders vaguely if this is a compliment. nah, can't be. ]

Then I'll try not to... not to?

[stacked]

Yeah, I'll see what happens, I guess.

[stacked]

[ someday, mike. someday. ]

Yeah, well. Don't die before you get your fanboy moment or anything, all right?

[ and she didn't sideways admit anything there, shhhh. ]

[fraud]

[ ... side-eyes a little but he nods ]

I think I have a bit more self-preservation than that, honestly.
