[ The video feed cuts in to display Justin Taylor with the sketchpad he arrived with propped up on a knee while he hangs out in one of the lounge areas, watching people pass by. He speaks distractedly. ]

So, I'm on to a few theories. Most of them involve all of you being on some kind of group hallucinogenic trip and this being a bizarre, Lucas Con rejects cult commune. But seeing as 'low budget sci-fi basement porno dungeon' has been shot down, the best I really have left is 'underground kidnapping ring that's going to end in me getting sold off as a sex slave to some foreign business tycoon' and that just seems absurd. [ He glances up at the comm device, shaking his head, and holds his hands up to gesture for a moment. ] I mean. There would be cages or something, wouldn't there? You don't just let sex slaves wander, and you don't build cliche fantasy sets for them.

[ He pauses to look at the camera in earnest for a moment. ] So, since you're all so convinced, is there actual proof of the whole space thing? We're short on windows, and no, this isn’t me asking to be shoved out an airlock, so you can take your smartassed comments and shove them right back up your ass, thank you very much. And even with windows - who's to say it's not just special effects. The government can do shit like that, right?

[ There's a weak shrug ] I'd just like to know I'm not a lab rat in some severely fucked up, large scale social experiment.

Why do you think this has anything to do with sex? Put your pants back on, Leia.

[kingofbabylon]

'Cause we all woke up naked with cylindrical stuff shoved down our throats?

[pocketfulofsouls]

Would you rather try to breath the kool-aid?

Voice

[kingofbabylon]

I'd rather there not be any kool-aid, but I get the feel there's a reason for that beside looking like creepy blue lube.

[Seriously, he's not stalking you, he just has this thing about not letting people post without him throwing in his twenty million dollars.]

There wwas a space station or somethin' a wwhile ago, for one. People wwent dowwn to it an' found out shit about wwhen wwe are, but don't ask me to tell you about it, since I hardly remember wwhat they evven said. I think that douchebag America wwas there for that, if he's evven still around.

Also, for fuck's sake, havve you seen the size'a this ship? There's no wway anyone wwould build all'a this just to fuck wwith people. An' also, [pointing at his face,] because this is a human thing you guys get all wwrapped up in, hello, alien. C'mon. Bein' skeptical is so fuckin' passe, get wwith the coddamn program.

[kingofbabylon]

[ Uh huh, yeah, he's not convinced. ] Look, if you've got a crush on me, it's okay, you can admit it. I'll even give you a pity fuck if you ask nice. I've never fucked a comic con geek before.

[ Now commenting on what you actually said: ] A space station? Did you actually see space? And yeah, I got your alien story, whatever. Alter-whatever. Transexual Translyvania.

[Hey, wanna see something funny? Look at Eridan's face. You know how he once looked like Justin had taken a hammer to his ring collection? Now he just kind of looks like he got hit in the face by said hammer and is currently completely confounded as to where all the blood is coming from.

Also his face is turning purple and yes, that is the color he blushes.]

W-Wwhoa, wwhat, wwho evven brought pity into this equation, you wwouldn't evven be wworth that, if anythin' it'd be a completely platonic hate, practically fuckin' ashen - [Okay, he's getting control of himself, remember what happened last time you freaked out over someone using the word "pity" to you, wow. Okay. One half-deep breath and then,] No, nevvermind, fuck that.

I still havve no fuckin' clue wwhat Transexual Transylvania evven is, but beside the point, wwhat do I havve to do to provve I'm not some human actin' like a freak by dressin' up like somethin' a human could nevver hope to be?

[ You're right, that is pretty funny, and Justin will just cover his mouth with a hand and make a very lame attempt and concealing his snickering at it. And holy shit, are you changing colors? ]

Holy fuck, that is some badass make up you've got on. [ He will never stop making the You Aren't An Alien jokes, even though he's starting to suspect you might not be lying. ] 'Pity fuck' is just a term, don't get your space-panties in a twist, Spock. [ He has no idea Spock is actually here. ]

It's from a movie. God, you need educating. [ Ignoring the bit about proving because he will never stop making these jokes.] I'm pretty sure some hair dye and latex could get me to where you are, but the question is, why would I want to?

[cons]

You mean you haven't found the cages yet?

[ ]

[kingofbabylon]

[ fjdklfjas ]

...Well now I just feel like I'm missing out. And sort of insulted.

[cons]

Insulted? Why?

[kingofbabylon]

Well apparently everyone else is getting cages and I'm, what, not good enough for cages? What kind of bullshit is that?

[ holy pole dancing christ in a strip joint, does he have to be such a princess? ] You're a lab rat in a severely fucked up, [ maybe he chuckles there ] large scale social experiment.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to stumble into as many walls as possible while trying to find sustenance, or die.

[ guess who's destroying brain cells? B) thank you space perverts for the drugs. your friend, Brian. ]

[kingofbabylon]

[ Look someone has to be a princess about this and it's obviously not you, stoner mcdruggypants, so that leaves him. And there is an eyebrow raise here. ] You know, I'm actually kind of impressed in how fast you managed to find drugs in a new and strange environment. Is that a personal record?

And by the way? [ Hold on, trivia time, because these are important facts that you need to be aware of, sir ] Those rats are actually pretty smart. Some of them even manage to dismantle the traps and make off with the cheese without harm.

[ So there. ]

[ he loves your fine ass but sometimes ... sometimes, why do you word? he gives That Look. lips slightly parted, face mostly expressionless, brows sort of raised. don't you bring logical thought into this, Justin. ] Meanwhile, the others electrocute themselves repeatedly, in an attempt to try the same damn technique until they barbecue themselves. [ double edged sword, that imagery. ] Has anyone answered you seriously yet?

[ he's half-tempted to blow a smoke ring into the camera, the right now equivalent of sticking his tongue out. ] They were in my bag, under the clothes. Whoever packed my shit had the right idea.

[the_vishual]

Why would anyone want a slave just for their gender?

I suppose on average male humans are stronger than females, but females have been scientifically proven to have an edge up on males in a variety of ways. Long-term pain, for example.

[ This is Chase. She clearly doesn't understand 'sex slave'. ]

Both would prove to be advantageous in a situation like this, especially given a number of theories on what said ship actually is....

I don't get it.

[kingofbabylon]

[ WOOOOW YOU ARE LIKE TWELVE. He has a sister your age. And as willing as he is to talk about sex slaves around his mom, he would not scar little Molly's ears and YOU ARE MAKING HIM FEEL GUILTY, LITTLE GIRL. ]

That's... not what I meant. Uhm. How about you... [ Ask your parents? Lolno. ] wait until your older. And I'll tell you then.

[the_vishual]

My age is not necessary to understand concepts, sir.

[ oh hey justin, it's the previously nude guy sarah totally needs to tag back on, sup.

he'll be zooming into the shit that really matters now. ]

Sketchbook or repurposed notepad?

[kingofbabylon]

[ Mention of art? Hey there, have a bright shiny smile, dudeguy. He don't even care how naked you were before. Which, actually, you were pretty nice, so whatever, either way, brownie point. ]

Sketchbook. [ He holds it up with the open page displayed - one side take up by a detail drawing of Brian Kinney in profile and a few other doodles fill up the empty space - Eridan painting his make up on in a mirror, Sherlock with a family of birds nesting in his hair, etc. ] Sent with the alien care package in my locker.

[ neal's grin gets bigger, less about shiny charm and more real happiness. then he sees sherlock and chuckles softly. ]

One of the few perks. I-- actually, hang on a second.

[ and neal turns away from the communicator to grab a sketchbook of his own, and flip it open to a page of sketches of sherlock's hands. (they're good-- neal can make his work like monet, manet, and van gogh without much pushing. this is personal, for stress relief, but it's not an excuse to get sloppy.)

he has full portraits and landscapes he could share instead, but they're revealing-- and not revealing much is second nature by now. (...other than his dick, natch. that can get revealed whenever, who cares.) ]

No paint yet, but I live in hope.

A quick look around at some of our fellow passengers would make you reconsider your sex slave theory.

[kingofbabylon]

Everyone's got kinks. [ le shrug. not everyone can be pretty, but not everyone's into pretty so it's cool ]

Fair enough. But I don't think there's much of a market for sex slaves in cliche fantasy sets.
