[Hello, everyone! It's late, late night, and you're now being treated to the sight of... bare skin!? What?

Yes, it's bare skin, a bit out of focus, but that's what it is. The holder of the device sighs in what she hopes is a thoughtful manner.]

I know the science of it, the biology, yes, but I don't like it. Legs are troublesome enough...

[The feed is flipped over to reveal a young woman with dark, mussed hair and a haughty look. She sounds completely perturbed, but somehow bored at the same time.]

...inefficient as they are. This is a nuisance.

[Camera back to skin, camera back up. Yes, by now you may have figured out that she's showing off one slender leg.]

There's hair. On my leg. On both legs, actually. I don't know whether to be fascinated by the wonder of the human body or completely disgusted.

Not having real legs.

[blunted]

The legs are a new development?

[rubblegoddess]

Does a goddess who watches benevolently over her people need legs? She carries herself with grace, of course.

[blunted]

Goddess?
That's one I haven't heard.

[rubblegoddess]

I would say the ship doesn't need more than one.

[blunted]

[ there's a pause in reply, while keller considers the smart play or the kneejerk response. ]

Any goddess would say that.
But what do I know?
Never met any goddesses.

[rubblegoddess]

Would you like to meet one?

[blunted]

You offering?

[rubblegoddess]

Of course.

[blunted]

Do I have to bring an offering?
Sacrifice a virgin?

[rubblegoddess]

I will accept an offering.






What are you bringing?

[blunted]

Well shit, now I gotta take stock.
Fresh out of sacrifice fodder, unless someone around here wants to volunteer.

[rubblegoddess]

I'm not that kind of goddess. Just bring me something new. Something I haven't seen before.

[blunted]

Wouldn't a goddess have seen everything?
Or you not one of those on-high types?

[rubblegoddess]

I haven't been here though. I'm new here. New to this. Bring me something new.

[blunted]

That's a tall order.
This gonna be worth my while?

[rubblegoddess]

Did you want to meet a goddess or not?
