WHO Jordan Leslie, Alex Daniels
BROADCAST Fleetwide video!
LOCATION The lovely Marsiva!
WHEN February 2nd!

[ The feed doesn't kick on until one of them is moving. Two separate people on Marsiva's hospitality deck, one clean cut and dressed in a rather sharp business suit while the other looks a bit rough and tumble in his polo and jeans and multiple piercings in his eyebrow, cartilage, lobe, etc., but they seem to have come together after waking. Jordan, the clean cut one, has his arms around Alex, the rough but handsome one who looks STARTLINGLY FAMILIAR, from behind and a head on his shoulder. ]

What the fuck—?? Get off of me, stupid fucking pixie.

No. I'm looking at something. [ And it's true, he has his head tilted and a hand comes up to hold Alex's ear aside, and Jordan just huffs lightly before he lets go and holds on tight. ] How long were we asleep?

I don't care, leave me alone. [ Alex just reaches up and smacks Jordan's hands aside and growls. Not a very pleasant one, this guy is. ] What do I look like, your goddamn wristwatch? I have no fucking clue.

[ Jordan ain't even bothered. ] Are you hungry? Has it been long?

Ugh, I'm fine. Maybe if you stopped messing with my ear, you'd fucking notice this.

I've already stopped, sugarplum.

[ And he just finally looks around and. what. what is this place. where are they. ] The fuck are we? Hey, pixie bitch, the fuck did you take us? [ BECAUSE THIS IS OBVIOUSLY JORDAN'S FAULT, RIGHT? ]

... Alex, we've been here since we woke up. You know as much as I do, so why don't we look around together? [ Meaning he isn't letting you go, so there. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Dorian watches the broadcast, and then watches it again, five different kinds of confused, but fascinated. This is...well, they appear to be a couple of some sort. It was odd, the realization that struck him that perhaps others worlds were different than even the South. Perhaps there was a world where he could dare to love someone, and for them to love him completely.

But this is Dorian, so he just poses a question to get the answer he wants.]

Are you two a couple? Together, romantically speaking.

[ Oh, that's an interesting question. Isn't it obvious? Jordan doesn't disentangle from Alex this time, just looks over to the console and tilts his head to settle against Alex's whether the grumpy vampire likes it or not. ]

Yes, of course. He's mine.

...can you tell me more about your world? What is it like? Are you always so open, in public?

[He feels like a man drowning who has found something to grab onto. He's curious, beyond curious, he's fascinated.]

Of course we are. Anyone who has a problem doesn't deserve to even be seen out in public.

[ Jordan's exaggerating, but to him it's honest truth. Anything that makes sense to him is clearly more logical than anything grays might come up with, and that includes being able to love his love in the open. ]

I'm sorry, what do you mean, "my world"?

Forgive me, your mannerisms and accent, I assumed you were not from Thedas. I suppose that means I get to greet you. Welcome to...whatever this is. A different time, or place.

Edited 2015-02-03 17:05 (UTC)

Well, you would be correct there. I've never heard of Thedas before. Is that a city? [ Because he would obviously know it if it were something as big as a country. ] Do you not even know where you are?

I've never been here before. From what I can tell, we've been ripped through time and space to here, to make a show of ourselves.

In the more objective sense. Even if we're in another world, I don't know where in that world I'm located. Do you?

I've not much of a clue, unfortunately. I've never heard of these planets or moons.

Planets or moons? [ So when he said ripped through time and space... ] We're in another galaxy?

Traveling! In a ship, through the stars, yes. Curious business.

Curious indeed. Are any of the planets habitable?

[Just gonna ignore that Jordan is being his weird pixie self and getting clingy. Yep.]

What does it fucking look like? Of course we're a goddamn couple. I'm going to marry his obnoxious pixie ass someday.

...You got a problem with that?

Marry him?

[Dorian blinks, surprised at how matter of factly it's stated. Men, marrying each other? Getting the law involved? That it was even legal was a shock, a pleasant one, and his expression softens a bit.

It feels like hope. An odd sort of hope, that perhaps he could have something like that, one day.]

No, no problem. Perhaps the opposite. Is marriage between men common in your homeland?

Edited 2015-02-03 17:03 (UTC)

Yeah, we've been together for a while, so why the fuck not? Might as well make that shit official.

[Just because he can't use his empathy on Dorian doesn't mean he can't pick up on what could be going through his head. He's seen it before plenty of times.]

Not as common as you'd hope. There are some massive piles of shit who think that they get to decide who people can love, but you know what? Fuck them. I'm gonna love whoever the fuck I want to love and they're just gonna have to deal with it.

[Dorian smiles, and chuckles softly.]

I can agree with your sentiment.

Because it's the best goddamn sentiment.

[wait a minute...]

Do you subscribe to the pleasures of the cock and what it can bring to its fellow man?

[he's asking if you're gay, Dorian. or bi.]

[Dorian blinks, and then he laughs. He laughs and has to cut the feed for a moment.

He comes back after a few seconds.]

I've never quite been asked like that before.

[Surprisingly, he waits patiently until Dorian gets a handle on himself. It looks like this was the reaction he was hoping for.]

That's a damn shame. You don't mix it up, shit gets boring.

It's only boring if you're not trying.

[He shakes his head, smiling a little incredulously, and then murmurs something in Tevene, amused.]

That's because most people don't give enough of a shit to try. They're all fucking sheep, bleating whatever's repeated back at them because they don't want to act outside the norm.
