[ He'll casually be tapping the device; to check if this is on. The camera is moving, you can tell he's in one of the Lounges in the Holodecks. ]

Is it on? - Fuck, I'm usually really excellent at turning things on. I am not spending another 20 minutes rambling only to find it didn't record agai- oh, okay, there red dot. Good. Spot on. Bloody thing works.

[ Hello Tranquility, after a few more movements, he faces it towards himself. there's a rather chatty brown haired pretty boy grinning at the camera. ]

Hello there, Citizens of Starship Enterprise Registry 'We are fucked'. As much as I appreciate a good kidnapping - gelatinized kool aid too; didn't see that one comin' - I really was in the middle of something prett-tay important. Since there's a bunch of us joining you already rather large and zany bunch - I was wondering if the supernatural - actually - preternatural, let's be politically correct here, hold any meaning to any of you? Like what's the mystic to mortal ratio on this ship?

Any ghost busters references will be met with extreme sarcasm; or declarations of 'who ya gonna call?'

The fourth wall weeps

[unheroic]

[ Because Kane hasn't met Kabuto or Jack Sparrow or well... Snape ]

Mate, ninjas, pirates, space and wizards. Pick two: Popcorn Consuming Blockbuster also awesome. Pick Three; Bad B-Movie. All four? M. Knight Shaymalan's next flick.

[andblockbuster]

[Neither has Topher. Clearly when these meetings happen... Topher's changing his theory about this place. They're being punked. Obvs.]

And the twist is.. What? We're all on an abandoned soundstage somewhere in Canada, because some hasbeen director couldn't let a bad idea go? Still makes more sense than anything else I've heard.

[unheroic]

[ OBVIOUSLY. We've discovered the truth behind the Tranquility, yup. ]

Or like, we're on some morbid reality TV show where there are people constantly watching us suffer in confusion and agony going: dance my puppets dance. Has anyone gone conspiracy theory over this place yet? Like do we have any raving lunatics blaming everything on the Commies yet?

[andblockbuster]

Not yet. I mean... Okay, I'm gonna own up to my whole "it's some kind of sick mind experiment taking place in either a dream-state or deep in the unconscious mind for those of us who apparently don't sleep" theory, but I'm a neurologist and I'm supposed to think like that. But there are fewer Communists in my theory.

[unheroic]

[ That sounds a bit like a plot of a really complicated and multilayered movie, Kane will dismissed that. ]

- Dude, neurologists? So in the future your the bloke I go to for brains? [ He'll grin ] My theory is that we're in some really elaborate spell but yeah. I'm an exorcist so there's a lot of mileage to vary. Kane, by the way. Got a name, Comicon?

[andblockbuster]

Topher. ...Wait. Exorcist? Really? So, like the... Father Merrin, pea soup-spewing, "power of Christ" spiel? [Exorcists who believe in spells. That's just... Illogical. And not Catholic. Life is so weird.]

[unheroic]

No, man. The power of Christ shit only covers like a fourth of Demonology. Basically I kill dead things, and make sure they stay dead. You've yet to be on the end of that pea-soup spew. Zombie bile in general is pretty gross especially when the body is waaay beyond rigor mortis.

[ A beat ]

So Topher. [ He'll shift awkwardly hoping he doesn't make you awkward ] you just got here?

[andblockbuster]

[There's a lot of slow nodding, because Topher is torn between 'you are insane and I don't want to be near you' to 'YOU MAY WELL BE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTANDS ME. PLEASE NEVER LEAVE.']

Uh. A month ago, actually. I'm still adjusting to the whole... You know. [A vague handflail, indicating the whole of... Creepy spaceship.]
