[Finn turns on the camera, pushing it back so it can capture him. He's sitting cross-legged on something, the lockers at the medbay if anyone can see that well.]

So. This is boring. I mean, other than the freaky murals and voices and stuff. How many people drew mustaches on people? Be honest. Sergeant Edgeworth says Security isn't interested.

On the subject of I'm bored, why don't we throw any parties around here? Like dance parties, music, food, people? Or spacewalks! Why aren't we going out and having some killer fun in space?

Unrelated, but do we have any metalworking equipment and scraps I could use? I literally have nothing but the clothes on my back, so I'd have to give out an IOU.

[ Kate's just in a room, the wall behind her totally generic mural-free passenger quarters. ]

There's been a lot of crazy shit happening, not a lot of time or energy for partying. Plus a lot of people think it's in bad taste to have anything approaching fun around here even when things are quiet. But apparently we're having christmas in a couple weeks, so if you wanted to organize a party for that I bet Sally and Sirius would be all over it.

[ Her hand shifts like she's going to hang up, but remembers to add: ]

Oh and there might be a blacksmith on board, if that's the sort of metalworking you mean? There was, anyway.

[spacewalker]

Really? Party-poopers. But hey, if people would be up for a party, I'd be glad to provide.

And yeah, that might be helpful. I'll look into it, thanks.

Sidenote- is christmas a holiday?

[alsohawkeye]

Yeah it is, sorry. There's a post just before yours today where they explain it some, but basically it's a holiday on most versions of Earth that I know of. You exchange presents with people and decorate stuff and celebrate generosity and togetherness and winter and things like that. Lots of baked goods and drinking, at least in my experience.

[spacewalker]

Oh, okay. Sounds like my kind of holiday. Better than Unity Day, at least.

Don't say boring, it's asking for trouble.

[Existing is asking for trouble in his universe]

[spacewalker]

Oh, right. [He leans back and cups his hands around his mouth to semi-yell at the ceiling.] Hey, universe, I'm asking for parties and spacewalks, not death and destruction. Got it?

[oldmanhusker]

[There's a hint of what might be an amused smile]

If that works you'll have to tell me your secret.

Video

[spacewalker]

Yeah, I wish the universe listened to reason. If it does listen, I'm guessing it would be my charming attitude.

[He's totally joking.]

But how long have you been here? Does the boredom become less mind-numbing?

I agree on be-careful-with-the-boring bit, this place's idea of fun isn't very nice. BUT I was trying to set up a movie night for the youngest crowd a while back... except everybody got sick, so that fell through. And now there're a few fewer of us, I guess.

Anyway. I've heard the shuttles don't actually see much outside-the-ship action, but then again, somebody mentioned - to someone else, mind you, so I couldn't very well ask if that was a real risk - that if you go outside the ship, it might not let you back in, and that kind of perspective might might not be very welcome for a lot of people. For obvious reasons.

Hey, a movie! I haven't seen a movie in forever.

That'd definitely suck. I can see why they'd be nervous.

[peckish4action]

Yeah. I mean, all the stuff available here is local, so picking out WHAT to watch is harder, but still. A movie in a holodeck... should be pretty awesome.

And yeeep. There's a lot to accommodate fearmongering here, if people're not careful.

[spacewalker]

Sweet, man. You should totally do it. I'd be in, if you don't mind me crashing with a few other kids.

[He'll just let the other issue lie.]

[sophically]

Celebrate boredom or at least spend your time productively. There is a library, a garden and various departments to visit if you're not scared of the murals and voices.

[As for her, she's wary of those voices. They did lead her down to the Morgue.]

Voice

[spacewalker]

I'm not gonna lie... they're pretty creepy. But I can deal.

But really? A library? I'm gonna have to check that out.

Voice

[sophically]

I can't blame you for feeling that way.

Do you need directions? I can send them directly to your comm if you do.

[Galadriel just happens to be passing by the lockers in medbay, actually. Being a healer, she does that fairly often. She glances up and- well, of course. Where else would she run into him except sitting on top of some lockers?]

There is a forge, though I am not certain if it is currently in use; I may investigate that as well, for my own purposes.

what do you call someone who doesn't believe in santa

[spacewalker]

[He glances back down at her with a grin.] Hey, Galadriel!

That'd be cool if you let me know what you find out. I just make figurines, but it'd be fun to get back into it.

What?

[inafadingcrown]

I am sure we may find you a few scraps of metal, at the very least. [And then, with a little grin:] It may also ease your boredom somewhat.

[kutte]

You the Finn that Raven was talking about?

[spacewalker]

Yeah, that's me.

[kutte]

She ever find you something useful to do, or you still taking up space?

[regulatingpressure]

Huh, I wonder where you could find equipment and scrap. Shame you don't know any mechanics.

[spacewalker]

[Nervous chuckling.] Hey, you've been otherwise occupied. I don't want to be a total pain.

video.

[regulatingpressure]

Well I've got it, if you need it. 34-100's a workshop by now anyway, if we've got something that's where you'll find it.

[trynotodie]

I know you grew up in space just like me, so I don't really understand why you're still so excited by it.

[if you're bored get a job you slacker.]
