Who: Beverly Crusher and all you other fine redheads
Broadcast: Networkwide Video
Action: Blue Fish, Cargo Bay
When: Right after the shuffle!

[The video feed cuts on to show Beverly, grinning with amusement, though her tone remains professional as she addresses the fleet.] Attention, Drift Fleet! This is Dr. Crusher of the SS Blue Fish. [Sorry guys, it's going to be a while before she stops talking to the network like she's in Starfleet.] We've received an... interesting delivery here on board the Blue Fish that I think some of you will want to see.

[She steps back from the camera for a moment, revealing the Blue Fish's cargo bay, stacked floor to ceiling with crates of what looks like... shampoo? You'll also see the Blue Fish's intrepid Captain Sokka in the background, mouth open in angry shock about this intrusion into his cargo bay. Beverly walks over to the nearest crate and pulls out a bottle of shampoo to hold up closer to the camera. The shiny red bottle looks suspiciously similar to a certain famous salon brand of hair care products from late 20th or early 21st century Earth, if any of you happen to be familiar with that. "JOHN FLOOTER" is emblazoned prominently on the top along with the words "RESPLENDENT RED" in gold.]

In case you can't tell what is in the crates, it's shampoo, and tons of it.

[Her face pops back onscreen.]

Someone out there must really have a thing for redheads. [She waggles her eyebrows.] But who can blame them?

[She sets the shampoo back in its box before continuing.]

Of course, it's not all for just me and Kairi! They sent a list, which I'll upload onto the network, and if your name is on it, you can come by the Blue Fish at any time to pick up your gift. Or, if it's easier for you, just let me know and I'll bring your box by your ship at your earliest convenience. Thank you!

((ooc: if your character is a redhead, assume they're on the list. someone in the audience just really wanted an excuse for all the redheads to get together, okay???))

[ This is kind of hilariously amazing, so when Misha sees her name on the list, of course she heads over. At least she's offered to shuttle any Golden crewmembers with her before she goes (probably Aveline, let's be real), and finds herself in the cargo bay with stacks and stacks of shampoo around. ]

Are we serious here? Is this a cycle-worth or did they just try schlepping off their overstock on us? How do you even go about splitting up shampoo?

[ Anyone who's talked to Claudia might mistake their voice or body type or facial build... but the scarring on her face probably helps dissuade the impression. It's only a few months old, but Misha doesn't seem bothered by it, anyway. ]

[artifacetious]

[ Guess who just arrived? Oh no they're in the same place. FEAR US. ]

Are you besmirching quality haircare?

[dancingmd]

[Beverly is looking down at her tricorder when Misha first walks in, so upon hearing her voice, she thinks she's Claudia.]

Hello, Claudia! It's good to see you off the Marsi-

[She looks up. Oh! That's... not Claudia is it? Even though they only spoke briefly before, she's certain Claudia doesn't have a scar.]

I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else!

[worththetrouble]

Not a red-head myself, but I have to say I can't blame any one for liking them.

[dancingmd]

[She grins.]

You're clearly a man of good taste, then.

I don't believe we've met yet...I haven't been keeping very good track of new arrivals, I'm afraid.

[artifacetious]

[ Her name is on the list. It is completely ridiculous that someone sent them shampoo, but her name is on the list. So she'll be right over, because hey. It might be a knockoff but she's willing to bet it's much nicer product than what her new ship has. ]

Is there conditioner too?

[dancingmd]

Possibly? I haven't had a chance to go through all the crates to be honest. If you see any, though, feel free to take it.

[Amused.]

I met your twin just a few minutes ago.

Action

[save_the_souls]

[Allen, being the acrobat and occasional goofball he is, has decided the best course of action to deal with these crates is to climb them. So he can be found, sitting on some of the crates that look like he's sitting on a throne, way high up. Timcanpy sits on the "armrest" next to him as he swings his legs as he laughs.]

Ahaha, guess I'm the Shampooion of the Mountain!

[...sorry everyone.]

Action

[alwayscomeback]

[He's trying to get all this crap out of his cargo hold and that is not helping. ]

Allen, get off the crates!

Action

[dancingmd]

[That's a terrible joke Allen, but she's grinning up at him anyway. It's good to see him having some fun.]

I hope you're not expecting us to start bowing down to you as king or anything!

action

[destinyembrace]

All hail the Shampooion!

[Kairi's going along with it. It's too much fun not to.]


Though be careful up there. I don't know how sturdy these crates are.

Action

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka hates everything. Atroma stole his girlfriend and now he has crates of shampoo everywhere. He'll be trying to clear some space by shoving crates around, muttering darkly under his breath as he does so.]

Oh yeah, this is a real hoot, Atroma. Because this is what we wanted, more than anything right now. This is the most practical gift ever.

Action

[dancingmd]

[Oh no, space son is feeling down! Once there's a lull in the action, Beverly makes his way over to him.]

Sokka? Are you alright? I'm sorry about all of this ... [And she doesn't just mean the shampoo] but don't worry, I'm sure we can get most of it cleared up.

Video

[entertainheir]

[There's a kid with truly ridiculous hair on the screen. Part of it is red?]

Uh...is the name Yuya Sakaki on there?

Video

[dancingmd]

Wait one moment, let me check!

[She scrolls through the list on the computer for a moment then looks back up and smiles at him.]

It is! Did you want to come here to pick your crate up or would you like to arrange a time to shuttle it over?

[child_of_bhaal]

I'm sorry, what is that and why is it only for redheads?

[Asks she of the incredibly dark, unnaturally red hair. Only half-god genetics or dye gets hair this color!]

[dancingmd]

Oh! It's special soap for your hair, supposedly formulated to [Picking up one of the nearby bottles and reads the back of it] "attract light and amplify your naturally rich red tones to transform your hair."

[She sets the bottle down and gives Syeira an amused half-smile.] I don't believe its as all powerful as that, but it does smell nice.

[coppermarigolds]

Is that... shampoo just for ginger hair?

[What a curious idea.]

video;

[dancingmd]

I was skeptical at first too, but I tried some this morning and it's actually pretty nice!

[See how bouncy her curls are today, how radiant her reds! Unbeknownst to her, she's already being used in intergalactic commercials everywhere.]

I mean, it doesn't have the transformative powers it claims on the bottle, but it's a hell of a lot better than the shampoo we normally get.

[interspace]

[ Misha sees this reply before she's about to head over herself, so here is some intrusion on the network. Because texting/calling/whatever from the other room is perfectly acceptable, you see. ]

I can give you a lift if you're heading over!

Video

[wilder]

[Free shampoo? Hell yes Kaneis is on this]

Sweet. I'll take free shampoo.

Is there a Kaneis Major on the list? [It's probably not, because that'd be too easy for him honestly]

Video

[dancingmd]

[After consulting the list, Beverly frowns and shakes her head.]

No, I'm afraid not. Could it be under something else?

[tothefly]

[Natasha has always been the curious sort. And this? This is too utterly ridiculous to miss. Have one redhead with a very odd expression on her face docking and coming aboard, making her way to the cargo hold to stop and take it all in.]

...Huh.

[dancingmd]

[Beverly comes over to stand next to Natasha, surveying the cargo hold. They've made a decent dent in the number of crates but it's still crowded. She sighs.]

Sadly, this is not the most... inconvenient thing Atroma has ever done.

video;

[unconfines]

Only redheads? Well that's hardly fair. The rest of us have needs too, you know.

[Says the ambiguous blond. He's joking, though. Probably.]

video;

[dancingmd]

You can have some of mine, if you like. I've checked the ingredients, there's nothing in there that will damage you hair or anything. Besides, you've got a little red in there, so I say you count!

[lord_wizard]

[Similar to most people, Felix will absolutely not pass up the up an opportunity for free hair care]

The people who run this show have the strangest priorities, but it would be rude of me not to accept.

[dancingmd]

That they do. I'm still trying to make sense of their game here.

[She smiles.]

But I haven't seen you in a while. I hope you're doing alright?

video;

[got_it_memorized]

Well hey, now, there's a handy gift! 'Bout time somebody gave us gingers a little credit where credit is due. Here's hoping there's an 'Axel' on that list, 'cuz you don't get much redder than this.

video;

[dancingmd]

[You can bet Axel is on the list. He's one of the prime figures in their commercials, after all.

Not that anybody in the fleet knows that.]

Hello Axel! You're near the top of the list, in fact!
