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!]]

Hmmmm....

[ He thinks on that too. ]

It's not really funny? I think Lungwort, or even Pulmonaria would be more interesting?

[Simon smiles.]

To a human it may be, though - "ass" is a crude term for a human's rear end.

... so it's like the bottle is saying I stand with my back to a field? [ ... That's a little weird. ]

... But I would rather be in the field... [ That isn't the point, Asteffiel. ]

Pretty much. Again, a human may have found it amusing, but to someone else it may be less so. I doubt whoever sent this put that much effort into it.

[ Clearly it should have just been 'Purple Salad', that might have actually been funny. ]

... So it's supposed to be funny for everyone else on the ship!

I wouldn't be surprised. To let us have a laugh at each other.

... I don't know if it's working.

[ It doesn't seem to bother him that much. ]
