4. [video]

[pompous_today]

Who: Simon Tam and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Anywhere
When: July 7th

[Simon has an expression of mild disgust on his face as he turns the camera on, examining a bottle of soda.]

Has anybody else gotten some personalized cola bottles from the sponsors? I mean, they are clearly meant for me, but my name is misspelled on a few of them, and then... there's this one.

[Simon turns it toward the camera: it has the infamous "you tried" star... with Simon's face on it.]

I got a gold star for... what? Dissecting sentient creatures? Playing my part like a good television star? Being myself? Did I fail at whatever I tried to do?

[[OOC NOTE: This was just a fun idea I had- in the vein of Share A Coke bottles, the sponsors have decided to gift Fleet members with their own personalized bottles of soda. Except their names won't necessarily be spelled correctly, or the soda will have weird flavors, or be loaded with caffiene- be creative!]]

Bubbly?

[He looks down into the neck of the bottle, and blinks suddenly in surprise as the carbonation jumps up onto his eyelashes. But it doesn't deter him from finally raising it up to take a sip.]

... It's like some of the things we have in the kitchen. But better.

[ino]

Yeah, 'cause the stuff in the kitchen isn't very good. [ A little laugh ] You like it, then?

[summerschild]

I do. It tastes like lemon cake.

[ino]

-- Wait, what? Lemon cake?

[ She squints. She's pretty sure the last time she had a soda it didn't taste lemon-y. ]

Really?

that icon tho

[summerschild]

Yes, from home. It was my sister's favorite.

[He takes another sip, seeming to brighten up.]

[ino]

... Well, glad you like it.

[ She's kind of curious as to what hers would have tasted like now, but it's kind of exploded all over the floor, and she isn't licking it up ]

But "Brad Snork", huh ...

[summerschild]

[He smiles at her, sheepish.]

I think they spelled my name a bit wrong.
