( 01 ) video ♧ and if we don’t live to be old and faint
[ oh hello, giant creepy spaceship. have a shiny, shiny smile directed your way. said shiny smile is attached to a freakishly put together looking gentleman. dapper, one might call him. ]
So... space, huh? [ neal adjusts his cuffs-- he's wearing a suit (a real suit: classic, 50's style devore, for any suit buffs) because fuck that jumpsuit crap right in the ear-- fussily, smile dropping wattage just a tiny bit. ] Does anyone want to catch me up a little more on that, out of curiosity? Because I have to admit, other than the bits and pieces I caught wandering around the first day I have no idea what's going on.
Anyway, come on. Help a new guy out, anybody? [ smile ratcheting up another few notches. aaaaaand HOLY CHARM BATMAN. doesn't everyone watching just want to drop everything and help? (yes. your answer is yes.) ] I'll owe you one.

Not bad at all. I've heard worse. Like zero-three-one. [she scrunches her nose, so awful] But yeah, this place isn't so bad. Pretty normal actually, if you don't think of it as a spaceship. Which isn't too hard for me, considering we've only just managed to land on the moon where I'm from. And it's not like we seem to have a destination in mind.

Poor soul. Zero-three-one, really? [ he's teasing a little, but it's gentle. ] ...Wait, wait. Where are you from?
video; wait, moon landing was 69. ..pretend she say 'haven't even managed' ahhaha
Where? New York. Mm, Westchester. [A second later she realizes that doesn't really answer his question at all.] But it's 1962, where I'm from. [Hence the groovy hair and the groovy mini dress and the groovy go-go boots. Not that he can see her boots.]
video; lmao i didn't even catch that HAVEN'T MANAGED IT IS

You're from the future? Groovy. [!!!!! Wait. Suddenly very serious. But trying not to be.] --And, ah. So did World War III ever happen? You know, after the whole Cuban Missile Crisis.

-- But, so. So what about mutant integration? I mean, after that it must have happened, right? I bet it's not even a big deal anymore, by 2011. Wow, fifty years. Does everyone just know?

You have no idea what I'm talking about.

[ and he is. there's not a hint of scared on him, just an almost boyish smile that encourages raven to go on. ]

It's-
It's kinda complicated.
[then again, jim kirk understood. it's weird talking about it on this thing though. anyone can be watching, right?]
I mean, for a video message. Thingy.

I mean, yeah. Yeah! I can show you around maybe a little too, if you want.

video; ackshun? or imply ~
[Which is good, cause she needs a few minutes to relax without a shift on, prepare herself for some heavy shifting. Awyeah.]
See you soon.
