[She's bright, cheerful, and it's all forced. Well, maybe not all of it. Alexis is, by nature, a somewhat easy-going, optimistic type. It takes more than a crazy space-ship to get her completely down.]

Been awhile since I did one of these. I feel a bit twitchy and closed off but I mean... the last time I addressed all of you people at large, I ended up making at least fourteen stacks of pancakes. It's a bit labor intensive for a video blog. [Yes, she's joking.]

Anyway, welcome newbs, a week later and all. I hope you're all settling in and you can probably assume that the creepiness you see isn't just you. That said, I really want to break something in here, so please do me a favor and talk me out of it, yes? I don't need seven years bad luck on top of this.

[He pops on the screen with a raised eyebrow. No, he doesn't know her, but hey.]

Don't do it. We've had enough stupid shit lately.

[redheaded_rock]

Tell me about it. Been fun.

[fingernailed]

[Yup, he knows.At least know one he's close to went on the bridge.]

Oh, yeah. I'm having the time of my life. But let's put it this way: I wouldn't do it.

[A sigh.] I should just walk away, shouldn't I?

[dashhole]

Pancakes? [Uh-oh.]

[redheaded_rock]

Pancakes. Want some?

[dashhole]

Yes. [You may have inadvertently opened a Pandora's box, here. It's full of pancakes.]

[redheaded_rock]

Kitchen. Twenty-eighth. One hour. There will be pancakes.

[bitchcrafting]

pancakes sounds amazing.

[redheaded_rock]

Seriously. I can never get enough.

I am glad to see you've settled in well.

[ a hello again, of sorts. ]

[redheaded_rock]

Thank you. How about you?

[vindictam]

I am less baffled by 'lifts'. [ Which was a start. ] The rest I have worked out by myself.

[redhotsummers]

I'd say break it.

[redheaded_rock]

Any particular reason why?

[redhotsummers]

Why not?

I mean, considering how weird things are going, what do you have to lose?

I think being stuck on this ship automatically caps you out in the "bad luck" category. Just don't hurt yourself if you do decide to break something.

[She chuckles.] Okay, yeah. Bad luck capped out already. I can get behind that.

At least, that's how I like to think of it; makes everything a little more bearable.

I don't know. You could start your own pancake channel. Like Giada on Food Network. But pancakes.

Breakfast with Alexis. I like it.

[pushfall]

It seems like most things that people post on here are a lot more serious than stuff like that, so it might be a good balance. Plus, breakfast.

I'm Claire, by the way. New here.

Someone I know broke a mirror -- [ two, actually, she's pretty sure ] -- and said it made him feel better. So unless it's something that you desperately need or could harm you if you messed with it, why not break something? It doesn't have to be a mirror.

[redheaded_rock]

Like therapy, huh?

[gothchicklit]

Sort of. I don't know if it necessarily made him feel better like that, but he definitely said he experienced some kind of mood change.
