[Device in one hand, the feed opens to a fairly young looking teen with a mop of ruddy strawberry blonde hair atop his head, with a glittery lime green clip holding his bangs out of his eyes. He appears to be seated in his room; a pair of head-phones around his neck, and a lollipop to one corner of his mouth. He offers a friendly wave to the camera, and goes to type.]

Well, it's been a short while now. I've been here before, but was sent home after only a week or so. Guess I wasn't so lucky, huh?

[A light shake of his head. He takes the candy from his mouth for a moment, and lets out a sigh, lips scrunched to the side. (Oh, well, I guess, his expressions seems to say). Right, then. The sucker goes back in.]

I dunno how many of you out there remember me, but. In any case. My name is Mikelo. It's nice to meet you. ♫

Anyway. I'm wondering: Where can I go on the ship that has the most wide open space? If I can, I'd really love somewhere I can roller-blade. The gardens, maybe? Or are the passenger halls my best bet?

Thank you ahead of time!

What are you putting in your mouth? That can't be good for you.

[ Obviously the most important thing to ask. ]

[Laughing at you, Bells.]

It's candy! It's supposed to be eaten.

[lacksgrace]

I know what candy is. That's, uh, not candy.

[mikelo]

[. . .]

Have you never seen a sucker before?

[lacksgrace]

I guess not. Does it do anything?

[mikelo]

You mean like a drug? [A curious tip of his head.]

It's sweet and tastes good. That's all.

[lacksgrace]

Yeah. That's the only thing candy's good for, right? [ A pause. ] Sounds boring.

[mikelo]

It's good if you like sweets! Can't say I've ever tried any drug-laced candy, though.

[He hasn't done much with drugs, in general, really.]

[lacksgrace]

It's not really my thing. Well. [ He gives a shrug. ] Candy's okay for a lot of sex, but it's worse than HL in some ways.

[ Watch it, Mikelo. He'll give you a lesson on Hell-related drugs. ]

[mikelo]

Is it like an aphrodisiac, then?

[lacksgrace]

I guess you could say that. But humans shouldn't touch the stuff. Pretty sure it might kill 'em.

[mikelo]

That could be said for a lot of things. Drugs included, obviously.

[lacksgrace]

I don't mean slowly. All it takes is one little taste, and that's it. No more human.

[mikelo]

. . . Oh. Wow.

If you find out any other good places t'skate, give me a heads up.

[video]

[mikelo]

Sure! ★

[skaterflames]

There's nowhere to do any good tricks on this stupid ship, not that I've seen anyways.

[mikelo]

[He nods in agreement.]

It seems like, just as you're getting some speed, you hit a dead end. It's getting boring!

Hi Mikelo.
The gardens are nice, but not great for roller blading. I'd stick to the passenger halls, if I were you.

[mikelo]

Ahh, okay. Bummer. I had to ask, though! Thanks.

[sufferances]

No problem.
Watch out for pedestrians, just a heads up.

[mikelo]

Hah! Yeah, I know. I'm used to the streets back home, so obviously I'd know to do that.

[sufferances]

So long as you stay to the lighted areas you'll be fine then.

[mikelo]

So I've been hearing. Good to know, though.

[sufferances]

Be careful out there.
See you at Jenna's dinner.

Will do!
