XX1: Final Destination and Other Movies. [VIDEO]

[cocksauce]

[ This is a video feed of some dark-haired guy who really likes to look at himself or something like that. It's kinda myspace-youtube self-webcam style up in here. ]

Does anyone know where this spaceship is heading? I'm just kind of curious and all since it doesn't look we we could just get off wherever we want to. It's just something worth knowing. Thanks.

[ He pauses like he's gonna turn the feed off before suddenly remembering some other stuff that he wants to say. ]

Oh yeah, I know I can't be the only guy who's realized this, but there are a lot of people here like they just stepped out of the movies or comics or cartoons or whatever. It's totally awesome, and I hope you guys won't mind me asking for autographs even if you aren't actors. Might be even better, actually, if you're all the real deal.

[ And again, right here, ready to turn it off. Whoops, just remembered something else. ]

PS: Hey, Dave. I ran into the Indonesian mobster you stole a pound of weed from. He's challenging you to a mudwrestling match, and the winner gets a Russian mail-order bride. Call me. Oh, and does anyone know if there's a way to set up a voicemail on these things?

[ >> END.

ooc: Fourth-wall opt-out is here, responses to come later. ]

Yo, you can't just tell people they're from a comic. You're gonna wreck their universe or make their brains melt or something.

[ video ]

[cocksauce]

Nah, probably won't happen since I think their universes are real, only that they're documented in comics and shit like that where I'm from. Besides, how can anyone be so sure that they're the ones I'm talking about here?

[hostage]

You don't know that! What if they were never supposed to know? What if this, like, messes with their timeline? What if you saying something makes like this completely new universe where everything goes to shit and everybody dies?

[cocksauce]

[ He shrugs. ] Think something like that has ever happened before? Just introduce them to the idea and then pussyfoot around it. If you're good enough at it, they won't ever have to know.

[abrahamic]

...Seriously, can we stop with smashing the fourth wall every single time, it's actually incredibly depressing every time that stuff happens.

[cocksauce]

It'd be a bit more obvious who I'm talking about if I actually went smashing it. This is a little more like standing face-to-face with it and tapping one of the frames to see how strong it is.

[abrahamic]

Yeah, and chances are that wall might tap you right back, come on. It sucks after the third time, man.

[justamobster]

You ask me, this is sorta like bein' in a penny comic, yeah? Weird machines an' blinkin' lights and pretty dames everywhere.

[ Okay, mostly he's replying because he heard "mobster" in that little post-script and he's curious. ]

voice

[cocksauce]

[ Ooh, this guy's got an accent. John likey. ]

Yeah, I think it's got that kind of vibe to it, like it doesn't seem real. Lots of interesting characters here, too. It's good to have personality. What do you think? Been around for a while?

voice

[justamobster]

Beats bein' stuck somewhere with a buncha borin' saps. At least the conversation's good. Learnin' 'bout other worlds ain't so bad, either. Only been here a month, but it's my second round of bein' yanked outta my world and into space. Guess whoever or whatever's in charge finds it funny, a lug like me stuck on in a moonman's vacation home.

[bloodplay]

Boy, are you in for a treat.

[NOPE]

voice

[cocksauce]

A treat, huh? Does it have to do with where we're going, the fourth wall, or the stuff I mentioned to Dave?

voice

[bloodplay]

The last one does sound like a pretty decent Friday night, but I meant the lecture you're about to get, from -- three directions? Seems like a reasonable estimate.

[whippings]

What would you do with the autographs of a bunch of no-name nobodies?

video

[cocksauce]

They're good collectors' items that you can't really get anywhere else. That's a rare commodity.

video

[whippings]

Considering that no-one here is that famous, that just makes them signatures, doesn't it?

[gothchicklit]

Nobody likes a fanboy. [ Though October can definitely fangirl with the best of them. ]

video

[cocksauce]

Only 'cause the ones who're over the top obsessed give the good ones a bad rap, and I don't think I fall into that first category.

video

[gothchicklit]

Says the guy who was just asking if he could get autographs.

video;

[coffeeking]

Oi! Respect the fourth wall.

voice

[cocksauce]

I think it's mostly intact aside from simply being mentioned. Nothing happening here! Hey, actually--what happened the last time anyone disrespected it. Curious newbie here, is all.

video;

[coffeeking]

Mild to moderate motional trauma, that's what. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that no one wants to hear they're fictional.

[tg]

i feel like i should be saying you got the wrong guy
but more importantly
do russians mail brides out to space

voice

[cocksauce]

Yeah--listen, the President's sending her on overnight. Wait. Dave, is that you? Why're you texting and shit? You should call, it's better if you call.

nope. still text;

[tg]

does russia even have a president
and if it did why would s/he be in charge of parcel posting mail order brides out to space
i thought they were against comrades leaving the motherland
or is that cuba

also yes i am dave
i am texting and shit because that is what i do
im not calling because you dont know how to set up your voicemail
what if you dont pick up
how would i reach you then
wed be reenacting romeo and juliet levels of tragic misuse of modern communication methods
you might stab yourself with happy daggers because my messages dont reach you in time
im doing you a favor bro
