ii - action/video - open
Who: Eugene Woods
Broadcast: Video
Action: the Wonderduck
When: Tuesday Evening
[Eugene has been on a ship full of teenagers long enough - it's time he delivered on the promises to actually feed them adequately. Which is why he's now broadcasting from the galley, flour-speckled and far, far too pleased with himself. So pleased, in fact, that he'll just go ahead an monologue at the rest of the fleet.]
Some of you out there may have heard a saying, that there's no such thing as bad pizza. Now maybe you haven't heard this - say, for instance, if you come from a world that doesn't actually have pizza. But if you do, this is probably a pretty common truism. Whether you agree with it or not-? Well. That's a matter of taste.
[Pun fully intended, as the little curl of his lips and glint of his eye gives away. But he continues, because in space, there's no one to cue a laugh track.]
But in a hermetically-sealed tin can drifting through the cold vacuum of space, I think we can all agree that standards change. And in celebration of finally creating something that sort of, basically behaves like cheese . . .
[Camera pan to the oven, which he opens with a showman's flourish to reveal . . . a pizza! Basically. Sure, the cheese is a little more yellowish than usual, and the toppings are mostly diced canned meat product and mixed vegetable compound. But it's close enough for him to grin as he shuffles a hand into an oven mitt and withdraws his creation to rest on the stovetop.]
Voila. One down, and another five pies' worth of dough and cheese ready for the crews of the Wonderduck and Vanquish. Not exactly a New York slice, but hey, if anyone wants the next best thing this side of Alpha Centauri? Let's talk.

[Stefan shakes his head fondly.]
I'm not asking for a slice or anything, but I think you're onto something with that cheese.

[He grins.] But if you'll teach me your cheesy ways, I can trade you some quality Jell-O.

[All teasing - he can make his own jell-o just fine, but he doesn't have any novelty-shaped pans. Yet.]

[He grins, pulling out an apple gel and holding it up to the screen.]
They're called "apple gels?" Apparently super common wherever Sorey and Mikleo come from, but also way more important than kosher jell-o.

[Eugene will take this seriously in a second, but first, there's going to be a strongly quirked eyebrow at Stefan's choice of words.]
Are we talking 'superhuman recovery' magic medicine, or 'listen to Pink Floyd and pretend you understand philosophy' magic medicine.
video;
The former. Definitely the former.
video;
Yeah, okay. I had a feeling. So what are these things medicine for?
video;
Physical health, mainly. You take one of these and your wounds'll heal about 30% faster than normal. But it's for minor things - cuts, bruises, and so forth.
