[ Well, hey TQ, hope you don't mind this fresh face on the network. She normally sticks to texting because if it looks like a phone and acts like a (kind of sci-fi upgraded) phone, why not use it like one? But she's been going through the other features — slow day on the ship, you know how it is — and after rifling through everything she can easily find on the communicator, she decides to post up a video.

So here's a young, teenaged girl setting the comm in front of her before she sits down cross-legged and twirls a lock of her hair. Alas, it's got less of a bounce than it normally does, but that's what lack of hot rollers on a ship will do. ]

If I write my best essay and promise to stay on my best behavior after, am I allowed to leave Space Detention? I mean, I haven't even gotten to mess around in a library, so this kind of blows.

[ she smiles because she's kind of hoping someone will catch the reference. If not, then well: ] Or are we all waiting for some big, space musical number?

Are there even any boomboxes to hold up outside that red smiley thing's window? If it has one. [ seriously, what is up with that thing. ] Also, I guess it'd have to be this phone thing, since I don't have an iPod anymore.

[ She lets out a very put upon sigh before admitting something you never would have guessed!! clearly!! But it's followed by a smile that's all teeth and too much eyelash batting. ]

Okay, so I'm bored. And I can't really miss anyone who left, since I just got here. [ not even touching whatever's up with the masks. ] You'd think the aliens would be able to hook us up with better movie selections or something.

I don't suppose there's someone on here with something entertaining to do?

Superheroes? I'm listening.

[ she sits up, intrigued, because superheroes usually means action right? ]

[He looks over at the camera, eyebrows raising just a little]

Somebody had Captain America reels from the 40s. There was a viewing party. They should still be somewhere.

Captain who now?

[ ALAS TO BE FROM A CANON POINT WHERE THE MOVIE HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET.... and she is not comics savvy. ]

Captain America. It's a comic book.

[And also, apparently, a real life human being.]

Wow, okay. So does he have like cool superpowers? Or does he get all angry and smash things?

[ mixing up her superheroes nbd. THEY'RE ALL THE SAME IN THE END RIGHT ]

I don't know. Maybe he gets superpowers from wearing the flag.

[Thus concludes John's knowledge of superheroes]

Better than sitting around staring at the ceiling.

Like a cape? I don't know if that's badass or just really dorky.

[ but most superheroes probably would be pretty dorky irl. ]

You haven't been watching me, have you? [ ... because she's kind of been doing that. oops. ]
