[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!]]

[Bran isn't very familiar with these futuristic foods and drinks yet, so he's been looking at the strange bottles with hesitance.]

Mine is called "Brad Snork".

[He pronounces it slowly and carefully, like it's a bad word.]

Is it dangerous?

Unfortunately. Though I've gotta say, your gold star looks better than mine. [Stefan holds his up to the camera - it doesn't even have a proper gold star, just one of those "there was an attempt" stars. It's barely in the cutout of a star.

In fact, calling it a star is an insult to stars.] It's either this, or bottles with "Steven Salvadore." Or... [He squints.] In this case, both.

[Guess who got a 'share a soda with Soccer'. Guess.]

That's not how you spell my name!!!

Eh, as far as I can tell, mine's good.

Video & Action

[save_the_souls]

[Allen in the background of Sokka's video feed is looking through the shipment to see the other bottles. And. Sure enough, there's one saying "Share a Soda with Wallen"]

[IMMEDIATELY trying to shove that bottle back into the box]

Let's just throw this crap out the airlock.

[ You might get a glimpse of the bottle facing the camera for a moment before she picks it up.

Of course, once she realizes it says "PIG" it's getting thrown at the wall and exploding ]

What the hell--?!

[alwayscomeback]

[Sokka is just...craning his head to see what Allen's says. ]

Dude, what did you get?

[ino]

[ Tries not to look too put out by what her own bottle said to answer him: ]

It's just soda, Bran. It's a bubbly drink with sugar in it.

[video]

[bolder]

[Have a wave.] If it is, danger is delicious!

[save_the_souls]

[Trying to shove it back in! Honestly, it should be easy to grab it from him]

Nothing!

[dancingmd]

[Beverly's just... laughing. Staring at her bottle and laughing. Probably more than this actually warrants, but she needs something to laugh at, with everything else that's been going on. She turns the label towards the camera so Simon can see "THE CRUSHER" written in big, aggressive, capital letters, like something you'd see on at a monster truck rally or a wrestling match. Biting the insides of her cheeks to keep from laughing more, she finally stops long enough to make a comment.]

I don't know, I quite like mine. Think maybe I missed my calling in life.

[delincuente]

[Alex is literally crying laughing at all of this, so she can't even say anything. Just hear her cackling over the communicator as she holds a bottle reading "AXEL RUMPUS".]

[summerschild]

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.

[summerschild]

Have you already drunk yours?

[bolder]

[She holds up the empty bottle. Luckily, her "name" is visible to him.]

It's all gone.

[video]

[pompous_today]

Not dangerous, but it may taste strange. I took a drink of one and it tasted like... cucumbers.

[summerschild]

[Bran is suddenly quite concerned.]

... Why is yours called "Tough Beef On?" Does it taste like beef?

video;

[pompous_today]

... Hmmm, that is a very poorly-done star.

I have one labeled Timon Sam. And one labeled Nomis Tam. It seems we may have gotten the factory imperfections.

[ino]

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

Video

[pompous_today]

It seems we may have gotten a few... factory imperfections in the mix.

[summerschild]

[Bran takes a considering sip, slow and cautious, and then wrinkles his nose in thought.]

Mine doesn't taste like cucumbers. It's more like... lemon cake!

video;

[pompous_today]

Really? The label is correct?

[summerschild]

I do. It tastes like lemon cake.

video;

[pompous_today]

Wh- that's terribly rude!

video

[pompous_today]

[Simon laughs aloud at that.]

It definitely suits your personality.
