[ The video comes on and Nolan is putting on a tie over the pink polo he was given in his locker. He's not a fan of the uniform he was given. He has an annoyed half-smile on his face. ]

So let me get this straight. I get abducted, put in what is essentially goo, and then I'm expected to wear a uniform and march around the ship like a happy, obedient person.

[ He shifts a little as he gets the tie neatly in place. ]

I don't do dress codes. I may or may not even be wearing pants.

[ The camera is focused on his upper body for just that reason. ]

At least the rooms are easy to navigate, although the rest of the ship leaves much to be desired. I wonder how many individuals get lost to it. You can skip the 'you can't leave' thing. I've seen movies, and this is all very science-fiction.

Em. I know you're here. Time to talk.

There's no dress code. Plenty of people don't wear the jumpsuits.

And I don't think anyone is expected to be obedient to anything in particular, aside from the usual things like not doing violence to others.

I don't know, the whole thing plays out like a bad science-fiction movie.

[learnedtosmile]

Sure, but more like Alien than 1984.

Not that that's very comforting, but that's the situation.

[corp]

That's a shame. I'm no Ripley, so no - not comforting, but it does at least let me prepare. No surprise face-huggers.

[voice] hey thanks small html thats great

[uncodlyawwesome]

Tell me about it. [Eridan has never once stopped bitching about the lack of decent clothing on this ship.] It's fuckin' ridiculous, there's not evven any kind'a sewwin' machine or fabric or anythin' to try an' fix it, either, it's either jumpsuits or wwishin' for neww clothes in your locker. An' that doesn't wwork the wway you wwant it to.

Anywway, this isn't science fiction, it's science fact. But only a couple'a people ovver the last... uh, year an' three months havve really like. Gotten hopelessly lost an' died in the pits'a this ship. So I guess your odds are loww on that one. [He's totally being reassuring here, shut up.]

[voice]

[corp]

[ He's going to like you, Eridan. He loves his nice clothes. ] The least they could do is give us a chance to make our own clothes.

I like those odds. Two or three out of what - hundreds? Better chances than some have other places.

[voice]

[uncodlyawwesome]

Yeah, I guess. A'course, that doesn't mean you wwon't get hopelessly lost for days at a time if the ship wwants you too. But at least you might not die.

[Find your bright spots where you can, right?]

[voice]

[corp]

Might not. You might also not get hit by a car. I like those chances.

Please don't pan the camera down.

But then you'll miss my nice pants.

[ Smarmy lil' grin. ]

Hey you said may not be wearing, and no offense, but you look like you'd have skinny white nerd legs.

Didn't anyone teach you not to judge a book by its cover.

[The moment she saw Nolan's broadcast, well to say she was surprised would be an understatement because it had been several months since she had even seen anyone she knew. It was better that way, less complications but maybe she was glad to see a familiar face at least.

With Nolan being Nolan, it figured he would already know she was here as per his message to her, though the one thing she does pick up on is that he looks a bit different than when she last saw him]

You're right, I am here too and I guess we do need to talk. It's been a while at least on my end.

Awhile. You'll have to elaborate. I can work with numbers.

I keep suggesting a ritual jumpsuit fire, but so far no groundroots support.

[ he'll just be adjusting his sleeves now because he's a showboating jackass who wants to draw attention to the suit. and neal's suit: obviously cost him a whooooooooooooole lotta money.

well. "cost him". ]

You have my vote. So that makes what - two?

Not majority, but good enough for me.

[ He notices, of course. He likes nice clothes, as someone he considers himself well dressed. ]

Nice threads. Guessing that was something that appeared in your locker.

We could rope in the Irenes and Sark-- if you appreciate suits, you'll meet them-- and make it five, even better.

[ taking a bow, neal grins. (he's an outrageous flirt with everything up to and including particularly well-appointed house plants, it's a thing.) ]

I was a favorite of locker Santa for a while there.

[thoughts]

Pants are an obstruction of movement. Excessive and unnecessary.

[ fellow clothing hater, high five. ]

[ video ]

[corp]

One of the world's necessary evils.

[ video ]

[thoughts]

Necessary?

[abrahamic]

Getting lost on this ship is like the space equivalent of getting caught in traffic during rush hour.

What do you have against dress code?

[corp]

Everything against a dress code. I like to wear my own clothes.

[abrahamic]

So it's not some... you know what, never mind that, but wearing pants might be something you actually should do, just saying. There's a lot of weird stuff around here, you know?
