1st Broadcast - + one shapeshifter

[initforthemoney]

Who: Frobisher and YOU! Yes, all of you.
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Friday and Saturday before the shuffle

[The broadcast opens to an extreme close up of a black beady eye. Frobisher is still trying to work out exactly how these devices work but hey, he's a penguin of some ingenuity. Convinced it's broadcasting, he waddles backwards giving the audience the time to appreciate his full and beautiful form. Such fine feathers. Such a handsome beak. Such... yes very much such a penguin.

You are receiving a video broadcast from a penguin. You're welcome.]

Hey, how's everyone doing today? Enjoying the view? Gotta say, real nice place you got here, I haven't seen this kinda hospitality since the Doc took us to the grand opening of the Space Hilton a while back. Real up market. Could use a little more variety in the diet though, how is a self-respecting penguin supposed to enjoy a free meal if you punks ain't got any fish in that canteen of yours?

Now that we've got the pleasantries over with, I'm looking for a guy. A specific one, actually. Tall, unruly curly hair, wearing an outfit like he got puked on by a aesthetically challenged rainbow. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on the guy but you know what Gallifreyans are like, never following directions. If anyone sees him, tell him he's penguin friend's waiting to collect him on the hospitality deck. And Doc, if you're seeing this yourself, I'm gonna say you owe me BIG time for getting us into a mess like this again. We was supposed to be going to the South Pole, remember?

Once we get outta here I'm gonna be the one picking the destinations for the next week, got it?

Now while I'm stuck up here... this place got a pool?

... Did a mage do that to you?

[That's about all he got out of this.]

[initforthemoney]

What, give me these incredible good looks, stellar brain, and undeniably suave presence? No, that's all be, baby.

[arcanepower]

I meant that you're a penguin. [LIKE IT COULD BE ANYTHING ELSE.] Did a wizard polymorph you? I can reverse it... probably...

[initforthemoney]

Why would anyone want to stop being a penguin? Penguins are amazing.

[arcanepower]

Penguins get eaten.

[initforthemoney]

Well... true.

But I don't.

And thanks for the offer, pal, but I can shake the penguin get up any time I want to.

[arcanepower]

Oh.

[He is... not sure how to process that information.]

You are a-- druid? [That's unlikely.] A shapeshifter of some kind?

[initforthemoney]

The last one. I'm a Whifferdill, maybe you've heard of us.

[arcanepower]

Isn't that a kind of spice?

[Belth no.]

[initforthemoney]

No.

[... except...]

Well maybe. I don't keep track of what every spice in the universe is called.

But in this context it's a race of shapeshifters from the planet Xenon.

[arcanepower]

[Belth looks interested, at least.]

Is it some kind of spell, then? Or-- something to do with your... biology?
