1st Broadcast - + one shapeshifter

[initforthemoney]

Who: Frobisher and YOU! Yes, all of you.
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: Friday and Saturday before the shuffle

[The broadcast opens to an extreme close up of a black beady eye. Frobisher is still trying to work out exactly how these devices work but hey, he's a penguin of some ingenuity. Convinced it's broadcasting, he waddles backwards giving the audience the time to appreciate his full and beautiful form. Such fine feathers. Such a handsome beak. Such... yes very much such a penguin.

You are receiving a video broadcast from a penguin. You're welcome.]

Hey, how's everyone doing today? Enjoying the view? Gotta say, real nice place you got here, I haven't seen this kinda hospitality since the Doc took us to the grand opening of the Space Hilton a while back. Real up market. Could use a little more variety in the diet though, how is a self-respecting penguin supposed to enjoy a free meal if you punks ain't got any fish in that canteen of yours?

Now that we've got the pleasantries over with, I'm looking for a guy. A specific one, actually. Tall, unruly curly hair, wearing an outfit like he got puked on by a aesthetically challenged rainbow. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on the guy but you know what Gallifreyans are like, never following directions. If anyone sees him, tell him he's penguin friend's waiting to collect him on the hospitality deck. And Doc, if you're seeing this yourself, I'm gonna say you owe me BIG time for getting us into a mess like this again. We was supposed to be going to the South Pole, remember?

Once we get outta here I'm gonna be the one picking the destinations for the next week, got it?

Now while I'm stuck up here... this place got a pool?

[ Aw poor sad penguin ]

S-Sorry Frobisher...

Maybe we'll come across a planet soon! It's been awhile!

[initforthemoney]

It better be a planet with a steady supply of cod, that's all I'm saying. I hate being in space for too long, the filtered air dries out my skin.

[save_the_souls]

For you, I'll hope for a planet full of fish then.

[initforthemoney]

And a bar. A pretty reasonable request I think. Especially since it seems like I've just been kidnapped.

[save_the_souls]

[ ...Okay he can't hold back anymore. He has to know ]

....I'm sorry if this is rude to ask, but do bars actually serve penguins?

[initforthemoney]

Most of them do. Unless they have something against avian species.

[save_the_souls]

...I see....

[The universe is truly a strange, strange place]

I don't go to many bars, so I'll take your word for it.

[initforthemoney]

Wait until you're a little older, kid. We all end up there sooner or later.

[save_the_souls]

...I'm twenty-three.

[initforthemoney]

When you get to my age, twenty three is still a kid, kid.

[save_the_souls]

[ANNOYED!! SO NOT A KID!!]

What you mean your age in penguin years?

[initforthemoney]

Have you seriously not clued in yet that I ain't your typical run of the mill penguin?

[save_the_souls]

I've come across a lot of talking animals, how I am supposed to know what's run of the mill or not?

[initforthemoney]

Believe me, most penguins aren't anywhere as articulate as yours truly.

I'm a Whifferdill. That's a shapeshifter, to you people.

[save_the_souls]

You're a shapeshifter?

[SUDDENLY UNSURE ABOUT THIS TALKING PENGUIN. Don't mind him, just every shapeshifter he's known has cause tons of trouble if not outright Murder. ]

[initforthemoney]

[Hey, keep your stereotypes to yourself bro]

Sure am, pal. Been doing the penguin get up for a few years though, it's an old favourite.

[save_the_souls]

[ It's okay Frobisher you're already the weirdest shapeshifter he's met. ]

...Why?

[YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE KNEES]

[initforthemoney]

[He does have knees they're just encased inside his tubular blubber body because wtf is penguin biology even.]

Because penguins are amazing. You'd be one too, if you could.

[save_the_souls]

[Penguin biology is magic. That's what it is. Magic.]

Not really. All I could eat is fish then.

[initforthemoney]

But fish is delicious! Especially when you catch it yourself and swallow it whole and squirming. Life doesn't get better than that.

[save_the_souls]

I'll...take your word for it.

[GROSS.]

[initforthemoney]

Believe me, in all the morphs I've ever been in nothing tastes as good as raw fish to penguin taste buds.

[save_the_souls]

...Why did you morph into a penguin in the first place? [Seems a pretty random morph if you ask him]
