[The video clicks on and Roxanne is smiling that careful, tediously perfected reporters smile of hers. She’s paused in a corridor, leaning against a wall.
She is not lost, okay. Not at all.]
Over the course of my sixteen days and counting stint on this lovely ship called the Tranquility, I’ve gotten lost at least ten times. I’m sure it’s realistically more, but I stopped counting after day five. [Not lost. Definitely not lost.]
I know there’s been some commwide chatter about passenger manifests and maps. I’ve started work on my own mapping progress, but it’s incredibly slow going. While my artistic skills are fairly good, my knowledge of architecture – especially…something of this caliber – is severely limited.
[Ruefully tugs on the collar of her jumpsuit.]
This is what I propose – all of those interested in combining knowledge via information they've collected – let’s collaborate. Meet up, exchange notes, see what each other has to offer. [She smiles again, the barest hint of a smirk crossing her features.]
I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

also i'm really good at them.
but now you have to tell me what you're good at, because that was the deal.
no subject
Oh, was that the deal?
Well -- I guess you can say I'm good at public speaking.
no subject
when you deal with me, all the deals are so real.
it is like reality television except you are the television.
anyway, that's a really cool skill.
maybe you can be an actress!
no subject
You know, I've never thought of that. You think I'd be any good at it?
no subject

I like to think I'm an awesome person.

No, unfortunately no Cage. Never had a reason to be in Metro City.
no subject

did they give you anything that touched their gaunt faces?
that would be so awesome.
no subject
[. . .]
I--touch what?
no subject
or anything else that touched their gaunt hollow face.
that would be super awesome.
no subject
I didn't, no. They didn't give me anything other than signatures, unfortunately.
no subject

no subject
