[ 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?

Twenty-first century Earth, sometime, actually, but deprived, um. Okay, sure, let's go with that.

Well if you're from the same time I am, I don't know why else you wouldn't have known what they were.

[testgasm]

I mean, I can think of a few reasons, but I'll trust you on this one.

[emerges]

No, wait, like what reasons?

[testgasm]

I did not, uh. Have access to that sort of thing. Where I worked. Back home.

[I'm from an underground research laboratory and also I'm secretly a robot.]

[emerges]

That.

[ dramatic pause ]

Is really sad. [ except she doesn't know he was a robot shhh, but she's thinking about how she was sort of excluded from a lot of things back home because of her epilepsy. SHE THINKS SHE KNOWS THAT FEEL, BRO. ]

Well, like I said. We'll get to work on making it better.

[testgasm]

It's okay, really! Got on fine without the films. Had plenty of books.

But, uh. It's appreciated. The sentiment, I mean.

[emerges]

Don't even worry about it. I mean, I guess I maybe owe you for filling me in.

[testgasm]

Right, well, if you're sure.

[emerges]

Totally. Next time I see you, okay?

[testgasm]

Can do! That is--that is definitely a thing I am capable of.
