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?

[he squints at the screen for a minute... before sitting back again and just laaaughing...]

[ladiesss]

[what... in the nine hells is...]

[ladiesss]

Oh.

[wait, nevermind.]

It's you.

[sugoooi]

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

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

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

[heresyandlace]

Wow... I didn't know you liked me that much.

This following me around thing is beginning to look suspicious, you know.

[ladiesss]

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

[ladiesss]

Ugh, don't flatter yourself. You're the one that keeps showing up everywhere I go.

Are you a clone? Is there just a copy of you in every universe, or what?

[heresyandlace]

Oh, please. There's only one of me.

...And, no sand this time? Your last entrance was better.

[ladiesss]

Oh, there was sand. Want to hear something mildly creepy?

[heresyandlace]

Always.

[ladiesss]

[she looks right at him, holding up her fingers as she gives her points.]

Firstly, I am not covered in sand.

Secondly, I feel like my hair's been washed.

Thirdly, the custom, designer rips in my pants are gone.

Fourthly... I have yet to sense any magic on this ship.

[heresyandlace]

[he's totally paying attention as she begins to explain, chin in hand, squinting a little as she goes on]

...So, you're saying they've, what... cleaned you up?

[yeah no that's pretty creepy]

[sugoooi]

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

[ladiesss]

[she nods in agreement, shuddering a little.]

Like someone gave me a robot bath while I was unconscious. Seriously, my clothes look pristine. I'm not actually even sure these are mine.

[heresyandlace]

[...he doesn't like thinking about this, let alone speaking of it out loud. it's different than the speculating he's been doing so far. that's been mostly rattling thoughts back and forth to see the other person squirm.

this actually bothers him. he has absolutely nothing to prove to Krista however, so he feels as though he's free to discuss it a little.]

...And the thing they've put in your skull?

[he's had no one to compare his own to yet.]

[ladiesss]

No? Maybe it was a dream...

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

[sugoooi]

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. ]

[ladiesss]

Dude, check it out.

[she lifts her hair out of the way and leans in closer to the camera--eventually a white, plastic-y looking nub comes into view.]

I've been microchipped. It's fucked up. Does everyone else have one?

[heresyandlace]

[he does not bother attempting to hide the throaty sound of disgust]

Ugh! ...You can see yours.

[ladiesss]

Gross, not like that. Ugh.

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

[sugoooi]

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

[ladiesss]

Isn't it gross?

[she pulls away from the camera, lets her hair fall again...]

Wait, what does yours look like?

[heresyandlace]

It doesn't look like anything.

[he tips his head a little and rubs his neck, but there isn't anything for the camera to see, so he doesn't try very hard to show it off]

I can barely feel it.
