Who: Krista Kingsley
Broadcast: Open!
Action: Marsiva only.
When: Space time. Who knows.

[so the video turns on to show an... annoyed-looking teenage girl. long, black hair. lots of eyeshadow. she clears her throat, but that does absolutely nothing to stop her from talking in a quiet whisper the whole time. at least she seems to know how to talk to a camera.]

Okay, so. Uh. Hi.

I assume there's a bunch of people on the other end of this? Otherwise I'm going to look stupid talking to a screen, but... Whatever. I'm in space. I know guys back home that would kill for the chance to be kidnapped and held for entertainment on a creepy space station. I'm... Wait, hang on, let me see if I care.

[she looks elsewhere for a moment, lips pressing into a thin line, before...]

Nope. I don't care. Almost did, for a minute, and then I remembered how much this sucks.

[she gestures... vaguely.] Okay, so this is turning into a pretty bad introduction, but I guess I just wanted to say, uh, hello, I'm Krista, and I'd love to talk to someone... about... how we're all stuck here up in space? Unless there's something way better to talk about. I don't know. Whatever. I'm really bad at this.

[of course, anyone who is on the Marsiva is welcome to find her! she's just standing around one of the network panels, looking annoyed, maybe a little nervous. kind of fidgety.]

[ HEY PRETTY LADY remember this dork... He is totally taking this as a chance to make a good impression with a pretty girl 8> ]

Hey! Don't worry about the space so much, the ships are locked up tight so you won't go flying out into it or anything. I'm Sam! Nice to meet ya.

[this pretty girl squints at him for a moment, trying to place him... was she someone she met at Accord? or, wait, maybe in the dreaming...?]

Sam... Aren't you the guy with no pants?

[ ..................sdjkgs ]

They brought me here in my pyjamas! It's not my fault...!

[ This went downhill fast, this is like a record or something. ]

What? So it is you? [a weird pause...] Have I met you before?

Wait...huh?? What are you talking about? [ He's pretty sure he would remember meeting such a pretty girl?? ]

No? Maybe it was a dream...

[she flat-out scratches her head. but she could have swore... this kid...]

I, I was in your dream??? [ WHOA is she hitting on him holy moley, gosh, he didn't expect this development--it's a little cheesy, but he's down with it. ]

Gross, not like that. Ugh.

[your hopes are just going to get crushed, little man.]

!! [ WHAT A HARSH LET DOWN.... ]

Maybe I should pretend I don't know you...

Does that mean you do????

...You know what? No. Forget I said anything.

[dryly:] Hi, Sam. It's nice to meet you.

You too..... [ He couldn't have a bigger pout here if he tried. HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HOW HE CAME OUT THE BAD GUY IN ALL OF THIS. ]

Let's, uh, go back to the beginning. About the ships being safe?

[ ......unsure. ]

You...won't get jettisoned into space...? [ Cautiously? ]

Oh, that's good. [see, she wounds way less terrible now! still quiet, but not mean.] Actually, does anything obviously horrible happen around here?

Obviously horrible like what...? I mean, we were all kidnapped to be here so...

[ But he wants her to go back to the dream part )8 ]

[no. B<]

I mean, like... have you guys been attacked by aliens...? Or, fell under the control of an ancient magical artifact that makes people go crazy? Or, I don't know, been in a western-style shootout with a bunch of space bandits or something?

[ But she could be his dream girl ]

Oh man, those would actually be kinda cool... But no. I don't even think our ships have guns. [ Probab...ly... ]

[she'll be his nightmare.]

Really? Huh... [she... makes a face.] And no one's like, died, or anything? No murderers on the loose? Vampires? Zombies?

[ So mean.... ]

Uhh...well. When I first arrived they said the people who disappeared from some of the ships didn't exist. And something about a cannibal clause... B-but I'm sure everything's fine! No zombies or vampires.

Okay, that's at least kind of creepy. I'll take it.

[she nods.] I haven't dealt with cannibals before...

I'm pretty sure most of the world hasn't.... [ Hopefully. He's pretty sure cannibalism is not mainstream!! ]

That's a good point. That means we're all unprepared...

[how menacing.] Okay, uh. Switching topics, is there anything cool around here? Aside from space. That doesn't count.

...The orange planet? Or well, we left that one behind already...
