Fun in the sun

[It's that time again, kids. A familiar little jingle rings out through every speaker, and your host's voice is right behind it, sounding as chipper as ever. Her cheer could almost outshine the sun!]

Good morning, dear passengers! I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine on your shoulders and the sand between your toes. Don't forget your sunscreen, though... there's no telling what sorts of silly things a foreign sun might do to your skin!

Also, we apologize for any little hiccups in the functionality of some of your augments--there are a few harmless technical difficulties that are being resolved as we speak. So, if anyone is feeling a little funny, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Just relax, and it should be resolved in no time.

As for the Shuffle, I hope you're all not too busy with your summertime fun to take time and welcome this week's batch of new faces, as well as congratulate Captain Matthews on his promotion!

[Oh, remember that scattered, distant laughter and applause? It's back! All must be right with the worlds.]

And since last week was such a big hit-- here is another letter from some lucky audience member!

[She clears her throat.]

"Hello! Long-time watcher, first-time writer, here... and I'm always just so impressed by the crazy skills and hilarious backstories of the passengers. I was wondering, if each passenger could share one piece of advice with us, what would it be?"

--Well! You heard them, folks. Your audience awaits your answers! Make them good.

[And then, just before she signs off, she leaves one last hurried warning.]

Finally, be sure to jettison your temporary, Atroma-licensed, land-and-sea recreational outfits before the fleet leaves this system's range!

And remember, the worlds are watching!

[As before, the signal goes quiet, but the line is left open. Someone is listening.]

[ jade is probably in the kitchen on the wonderduck, but she's cupping her hands to call to the ceiling, as if aiming for the speakers: ]

Never trust cats! They're all giant jerks.

But- but cats are so nice, and cute!

No way. They're mean. And they always instigate fights.

[ but it's not sincere sullenness, here. ]

No way! They're so peaceful and innocent. How can something so fluffy be so mean? [It's hard to tell if Aang is taking this seriously himself... It could really go either way.]

[ and jade's fluffy white dog ears will just perk a little in mock-exasperation. ]

They're instigators. You're gonna have to trust me on this one.
savedtheworld: (sheepish with toph)

[personal profile] savedtheworld 2015-08-05 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well... I'm not sure what that means!

...But, um, is it okay if I ask about your ears?!

Oh! Um -

[ she reaches up to touch one, almost sheepish. ]

What about them?

[He's more sheepish as he tries asking.]

Soooo... How'd you get 'em?

Magic! Kind of. Sort of?

[ one ear twitches and her expression seems almost apologetic. ]

I don't mind explaining, but it's kind of a dumb story, so it just depends on if you want to hear it or not!
