Who: Simon Tam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Anywhere
When: July 7th

[Simon has an expression of mild disgust on his face as he turns the camera on, examining a bottle of soda.]

Has anybody else gotten some personalized cola bottles from the sponsors? I mean, they are clearly meant for me, but my name is misspelled on a few of them, and then... there's this one.

[Simon turns it toward the camera: it has the infamous "you tried" star... with Simon's face on it.]

I got a gold star for... what? Dissecting sentient creatures? Playing my part like a good television star? Being myself? Did I fail at whatever I tried to do?

[[OOC NOTE: This was just a fun idea I had- in the vein of Share A Coke bottles, the sponsors have decided to gift Fleet members with their own personalized bottles of soda. Except their names won't necessarily be spelled correctly, or the soda will have weird flavors, or be loaded with caffiene- be creative!]]

[Guess who got a 'share a soda with Soccer'. Guess.]

That's not how you spell my name!!!

Video & Action

[save_the_souls]

[Allen in the background of Sokka's video feed is looking through the shipment to see the other bottles. And. Sure enough, there's one saying "Share a Soda with Wallen"]

[IMMEDIATELY trying to shove that bottle back into the box]

Let's just throw this crap out the airlock.

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka is just...craning his head to see what Allen's says. ]

Dude, what did you get?

[save_the_souls]

[Trying to shove it back in! Honestly, it should be easy to grab it from him]

Nothing!

[alwayscomeback]

[YOINK. He'll grab it and squint at it.]

...Wallen?

I don't get it.

[save_the_souls]

Hey!

[RUDE SOKKA!!!]

There's nothing to get! It's just a stupid name people kept calling me because some people couldn't spell my name right when they were drunk.

[which considering it was Tony- that meant he could never spell Allen's name right]

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka looks from the bottle, to Allen, to the bottle again. ]

...But they already spelled it, they just added an unnecessary W.

[save_the_souls]

Yes. That's why it's extra stupid.

[God he hates that name. JUST GET HIS NAME RIGHT ITS ALLEN DAMMIT.]

[alwayscomeback]

Was this at that castle place? Because if so, I'd worry about who it dragged in, intelligence wise. Present company excepted.

...And Katara, I guess.

[save_the_souls]

[He sighs] They weren't necessarily stupid. They just drank......a lot.

[In fact it was pretty much the castle's official past time]

[alwayscomeback]

They do know that kills brain cells right? It kills them right the heck off.

[save_the_souls]

I don't think they cared all that much.

[delincuente]

[Alex is literally crying laughing at all of this, so she can't even say anything. Just hear her cackling over the communicator as she holds a bottle reading "AXEL RUMPUS".]

[alwayscomeback]

[That's beautiful, and gets a laugh out of him. ]

Well, they're not wrong.

It seems we may have gotten a few... factory imperfections in the mix.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

On-purpose imperfections, more like.

Video

[pompous_today]

Like they are having a joke at our expense? It seems likely.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

Well, it is their thing, laughing openly at us.

Video

[pompous_today]

Even when trying to make us feel better. Because everything is geared toward their personal entertainment.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

And getting ratings. They have to benefit more form that than us, right?

Video

[pompous_today]

Right. And we were such amazing ratings-grabbers this past month, they decided to reward us for it, apparently.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

...Golly gee. Lucky us. I feel so appreciated right now.

Video

[pompous_today]

Me, too- especially because Atroma seems to be pleased. That is my only desire in life. [You can practically feel the sarcasm radiating from him.]

Video

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka can always deeply appreciate a healthy dose of sarcasm.]

I can hear it in your tone, man. It's making me well up inside.

[Fake sniff.]

[pompous_today]

After all, who wouldn't want to please our beloved benefactors? They were kind enough to put us before this appreciative fanbase.
