4th Blight - video

[bryces_pup]

Who: Riona and YOU! (and no she's not drunk this time)
Broadcast: Yes
Action: On Blue Fish
When: Today!
Note: Somewhat NSFW link in the post. Nothing graphic or trigger-y!


[The cargo bay of the Blue Fish finds itself a bit less empty than usual. The video opens up on gift baskets covering sections of the floor in the bay. Each one has a little tag attached to it, indicating the intended recipient(s) of the basket. The wrapping on top of each basket are a solid color, hiding what’s inside.

The camera jostles as its owner kneels down next to one.]

Not quite what I expected to come down to this morning.

[Riona remains off-screen, save for her hand, which opens up the tag. Her name is written on it, with a little note reading: “To help you unwind.”]

So. Atroma – I’m assuming – has left some of us with gifts. Given the sheer number in here, and that I don’t recognize the names on some of the baskets down here, it appears these are also for people on other ships. I’m on the Blue Fish, if anyone wants to stop by and see if they received one of these baskets.

[ She sets the camera down, propping it up. The new view provides the chance to see Riona tearing into the paper covering her basket.]

I don’t know what is inside, to be honest. I’m not exactly sure what they mean by helping me “unwind”. Let’s find out, shall we?

[ As she reaches in and begins to pull out something, suddenly there’s a vibration ringing out from inside. The young Warden frowns, the book she had grabbed onto halfway out of the basket.]

Not sure if I want to know what that sound is. Let’s see what this book-

[If one has a watchful eye, they may catch a quick glimpse of the book cover***. At least until Riona gets a good look at it, blushes and sputters, and immediately slams it to the ground.]

Maker’s ball, why would they-

[There’s a curse as she remembers the camera is on and her hand quickly covers the lens before the communicator is shut off.]

((OOC: sponsor drop is open to all! Yhe theme is sex toys, books, etc. the gift baskets can be for individuals or for couples. The Blue Fish no longer has the locks on, so characters can wander freely inside again.

***EDIT: damn it, DW. book cover is this: https://i.imgur.com/Ie3Ocnp.jpg))

[Oh look, it's Sokka, having a wander around the Blue Fish's ever increasingly empty halls. He pauses at this, because sponsor drops are always fun. After picking up one of the books, though, he kind of regrets it. He'll stare at it for a moment, before dropping it into the pile, sounding really unimpressed. ]

Don't we all?

[Then, turning to Riona. ]

They gave us stuff like this before. I think it's when they're tyring to hint they want more romance from you guys or something.

Action

[bryces_pup]

[STILL KIND OF BLUSHING don't mind her.]

That's - but - eugh! What goes on behind closed doors is none of their business. And this - [Points to her book.] is not specific to romance. That's just... no.

[theirinurpants]

Wait... what?

[ What in the Maker's name could shock Riona so much? ]

Re: video;

[bryces_pup]

Nothing! [Her voice comes out as a squeak.] It's fine! Nothing to see here!

[dancingmd]

[And here is Beverly, laughing from the entrance to the cargo bay.

Give her a minute, she's finding this much funnier than she has any right to. Finally, she stops long enough to speak:]

Oh, they really outdid themselves this time, didn't they?

[Beverly crosses over to Riona and picks up the poor, discarded book.]

Now, what do we have here, hmm?

action

[bryces_pup]

[RUDE, BEV.

Riona glowers at her laughter, though it quickly turns into an expression of panic as she tries to dive for the book.]

No! It's nothing!

[thezerothlaw]

[Daneel has come, as requested, and he's puzzled but he's here.]

We have a package? Both of us?

hiatus? what hiatus? :D

[nugqueen]

Well, wasn't that thoughtful of them.

[Not even disguising how tickled she is by this.]

[bryces_pup]

[bestie y u do dis]

Oh don't you even start. [She looks warily back at her basket.] There's still something... vibrating in there, I think. Or doing something that's causing a racket. I'm half afraid to look now.

[universal_charm]

Wow, whoever sent those really doesn't know the definition of subtly, do they?

_{[ ooc: aslo, psst, the book cover link is giving me a 404 error >: ]}

[bryces_pup]

Not in the least. And not even a bit of warning...

((ooc: ldsfjlkdsjfldsfd i don't know what DW's problem is with linking things today. here is a raw link: https://i.imgur.com/Ie3Ocnp.jpg))

[To be honest, she doesn't even mean to hit the video reply, she just fumbles the communicator when she sees what it is.

So now you get an oddly-angled video of Nightingale just laughing her ass off.]

Holy shit, are they serious?

video

[bryces_pup]

Perversely so, it seems. What a bunch of bastards.

[She really didn't need this surprise on top of everything else that's been going on.]

video

[castrationfist]

... I admit, I am still very new here, but... Is this what we're expected to do here? That wasn't mentioned at all.

video

[bryces_pup]

No! Oh, Maker, no. My best guess is that this Atroma's idea of humor.

Video

[tallasaking]

[He's not laughing at you, Riona. Really. His mismatched eyes might be a littttle bit wicked though.]

Oh do let me know if you ever need assistance with that particular volume?

[He clears his throat.] Anything for Tyrion Lannister?

Video; would you like there to be anything for Tyrion?

[bryces_pup]

[Just about everyone else is laughing. If they're not completely floored like she is.]

Har har. [Half-hearted glower.] I think I'll manage, thank you.

[At his question, she gets up and goes to look.] Not that I saw, but I hardly looked through all of them. If you would allow me a moment to look?

[ video ]

[axiomed]

[ Charles can't help himself. ]

Any books in there?

[ video ]

[bryces_pup]

Oh, you're real funny.

[All you people suck, ok]

[ofkirkwall]

[ I'm sorry Hawke is just... well she's laughing. A lot. ]

[bryces_pup]

[HUFF]

Once again, I find myself thoroughly amusing people over the network.

AUDIO

[sandhate]

[ assholes gonna be assholes i guess ]

I think ...the Atroma is expecting a book report. You're not getting off that easy.

[ aaah ]

... Which, I suppose, is the problem here.

[FOR FUCK'S SAKE, ANAKAIN.]

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker! [Wow, full title and name, and the noble lady scolding tone to boot.]

[kingofbadlifechoices]

[After hearing about his death Robb still doesn’t feel good. He wonders if he ever will get over it in a proper way. Even though he has done everything he can do from here, it feels that it will be nowhere near enough.

But this time there is no reason to mull over that. There is a buzzing sound coming from the lady Riona’s room and he stands still to listen to it, his head slightly cocked to the left.]

Lady Riona? Are you well?

[action]

[bryces_pup]

No I am not.

[A moment later her door swings open, revealing a very perturbed looking Riona.]

You hear it, don't you?
