[ 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?

I'm Michelle Cheung. It's nice to meet you, Erica.

Nice to meet you to.. Where're you from -- before ending up here, I mean?

I'm from Hong Kong.

Cool. I'm from California myself.

Oh, America? I've never been to America myself - only to Japan.

I've never been to Japan either. Is it true they're like years ahead of everybody else?

I'd say their bookstores are years ahead of everybody else! Jinbocho has more bookstores than anywhere else in the world.

[...Michelle...]

Annddd we're back to books. [ talk about full circle?? ]

Is there anything else you're kind of interested in?

[Full circle indeed, she will judge countries by their books.]

Hmmm...well, I do like meeting authors, cute things, and my sisters. Do those count?

I guess so. I mean, I'm not part of the hobbies and interests police or anything.

Then those are what I'm interested in! And of course, I'm interested in finding out more about our situation.

You, me, and everyone else on this ship I bet. But it doesn't look like they've done too well in finding out anything useful.

It would seem that way. But hopefully with more people on board, we'll have more eyes to remain on the lookout.
