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))

[Stops dead when he sees Riona sputtering and dropping the book with that cover. Also the giant pile of baskets]

[save_the_souls]

[And is now turning around, and noping right out of there. NOOOOPE]

[bryces_pup]

[save_the_souls]

[STOPS IN THE DOORWAY.]

Are you serious?

[bryces_pup]

Mmhmmm. You and Clay.

[get ur butt back here al]

[save_the_souls]

[Allen spends what seems like a long time in the doorway, deliberating to himself if he should dare go back for this stupid basket. Is it worth it? Can he wait to grab it when there's no one in the cargo bay? What if people went through it.]

[...Ugh.]

[He turns around and walks back]

Which one is it?

[bryces_pup]

That one there, with the dark blue paper.

[She points it out to him. It's a mere few feet away from hers.]

[save_the_souls]

....

[Looks at the basket. Then looks at Riona. For a moment, it looks like he's debating if he should say something. Anything. His cheeks even seem to be blushing some.]

[But then, nope. Just walking over to grab that basket before he tries to leave again. Because nope, gonna keep trying to not acknowledge what is going on here.]

[bryces_pup]

...

[She half heartedly glowers at him as he walks away. WEENIE.]

[save_the_souls]

[HE CAN LIVE WITH THAT!]

[Except he is polite, so when he reaches the door way, he'll glance back]

Oh, um- thank you! And... [um] Congratulations?

[YOU'RE GETTING SOME RIGHT? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT?]

[bryces_pup]

[Blink.]

Er, for what exactly?

[save_the_souls]

Well, I mean-

[Awkward gesturing with his free hand as he definitely looks very awkward]

The last time there was a....um, shipment like this, it was because...er, a couple of people had started....ah-

...Intimate relations?

[bryces_pup]

[....oh.

She swallows. It's an understandable assumption. There's no reason to be upset. Or so she keeps telling herself.]

No. Nothing of the sort has happened to me. But perhaps there are others who have begun such.

[save_the_souls]

- O-oh.

[Well that's embarrassing]

Y-Yeah. Maybe it's...someone else. [Maybe Beverly-??] S-Sorry.

[bryces_pup]

It's fine. I understand why you thought as much.

[She forces a smile.]

[save_the_souls]

Um- right. Er-

[So awkward. So embarrassing.]

Bye!

[So gone.]
