I knew it.

[ hyde's got his sunglasses on, but even those don't conceal the suspicious squint he's sporting. when he speaks the tone is all excitement, words tumbling out in a rush. his hair still damp, and there’s the faint suggestion of smoke as he gestures. in the background someone’s moving around, though hyde doesn’t turn to watch. a shirt flies past his head and lands on the bed behind him. ]

This is a government experiment, isn't it?I knew it, I knew these existed, and no one ever believed it! I knew NASA was a front, exploration my ass, they're using space just for this mental shit, aren't they? Did you stick a tracking device up my ass when you tattooed me, huh? Huh?

[ there's a pause, the first stirrings of uncertainty, maybe fear. when hyde takes a pause, it’s the first time the person in the background becomes visible, finally fully dressed and tired of hunting for a blowdryer, to see who he happens to be talking to. she leans over his shoulder, eyes widening immediately and a loud gasp following ]

Oh my god, Steven! There’s people in there! [ her nose wrinkles a second later] And they’re so weird looking.

Wait your turn, Jackie! I’m trying to make a point. The future’s full of government stooges, whatever, we’ve got to document it. [ for all his obvious irritation, he doesn’t flinch away when she puts her hand on his shoulder, leans in close to look. ] Hey, who's in charge here? Is this transmitting? Hello? Why even give me this thing if you're not gonna answer me?

[ ooc | the blue font is jackie burkhart! ]

[ There's a lazy blink from a pair of blue eyes peering at the two of them from her spot in her blanket fort. Jaye yawns a second later. ]

You're very loud and everyone's going to think you're stupid.

[ Then she turns into a cat, firstly because it's been ages since she's tortured the newbies and secondly because naps are much better as a feline.

But mostly the first one. ]

[conspiracytheory]

[ holy. fucking. shit. ]

This has got be a bad--

[ wait no.

as he turns to jackie... ]

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

[ Rudely awakened by a shitty memory, now this. Hungover, but pretending very well that he's a functioning human being by summoning the glare of the century to do his bidding, Nathan at least hasn't had too long to grow his beard out yet. ]

The U.S. Government has nothing to do with this. [ But if they did they'd deny it anyway so that's not so helpful. ] And as far as transmissions go, I'm the closest thing you're gonna get to 'in charge'. So cut the mass hysteria bullshit and ask a real question so we can all go back to getting on with our lives. Thanks so very much.

[conspiracytheory]

Yeah, I bet.

[ the us government has something to do with everything nathan!!!! ]

Who are you supposed to be? You their spokesperson or what?

[quotate]

NASA didn't even know where to find the moon!

[ you have a new best friend. ]

[conspiracytheory]

[ mozzie. mozzie. you understand him. ]

NASA wasn't looking for the moon, man. That's just what they want people to think.

[shrillest]

Your point is stupid!

[Because if you think she's going to wait her turn so you can keep making them, you got into the wrong relationship] I want to go home, Steven. I don't want to document any of these people, they're boring!

[conspiracytheory]

[ jackie he is doing important things don't distract him!! ]

We're gonna go home. Just let me talk to them. That's how you do it. You get close to one and then you wait until they crack.

[ or something. hyde doesn't know, but he can talk like he knows. ]

[Claire sounds bemused more than anything else.]

The government isn't this creative.

[conspiracytheory]

Or they don't want you to think they're that creative, man.

[jacked]

You're really gonna say government for this? You're on a spaceship, man.

[conspiracytheory]

And there's a distinct lack of little green men, so I'll go with door number two.

No, that comes later. After the arcane rituals.

[ adulthood ]

[conspiracytheory]

What kind of arcane rituals?

[ be specific jenna!! ]

[ Sweet Aiglin, that girl's voice is so shrill it could wake the Golden Army. ]

These are communicators like the telephones and televisions of your world, only combined. Use them discreetly.

[ Shut up, mortal children. This is one elf frowning your way. ]

[conspiracytheory]

[ hyde feels you man, he feels you. ]

You saying they play Little House on the Prairie up here?

[coy]

Are you one of those people who thinks we didn't actually land on the moon?

[conspiracytheory]

Yeah, because we didn't.

[invisibilitea]

Not all of us are American.

i am so sorry

[shrillest]

...Gross.

[conspiracytheory]

World domination's gotta start somewhere.

[ several ways to approach this and in true, illogical fashion because everyone's insane here and lydia has no patience to walk through how dumb the conspiracy theory thing is, she goes for the easy thing.

and the thing that might actually offend her the most. she's had to let go of some of her beauty routine but really. ]

We're not all weird looking. [ translation: screw you, i'm beautiful as fuck. ]

[conspiracytheory]

[ uh oh ]

Apparently some of you used to be blue.

[shrillest]

[Helpfully, as if you didn't know-]

Well, you have red hair. [She makes a slight shrug, as if that explans everything] But you are prettier than any other girl who's talked to us so far.

[She'll throw you a bone 'cause you don't dress like a lumberjack. And you speak her language]

video || i am 10 days late and you are both going to deal with it

[doggedly]

[ok ten points for the cute if slightly clueless girl, but then again, everyone was once clueless here, weren't they. but also this is hilarious.]

Hullo, Steven and Jackie. You probably don't want people answering questions about anything they might have, er, shoved up your arse. Or haven't shoved up. But it's really all goo and tubes here, with a few threats here and there of the non-arse variety.

[He wrinkles his nose as well; this is a Jackie-imitation, at least facially speaking.]

There are some weird looking people here, though, I'll grant you that. We had blue people for a bit there, you missed out on them. But you're both relatively normal, congratulations!

never deals with it!!!!

[conspiracytheory]

Call me Hyde, man.

[ yes that's the important part of this. ]

You got pictures of the blue guys?
