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.]

You know, sleepover stuff? Talk about things, play some games, eat, eventually sleep... [That's what he and Apollo do at sleepovers anyway.]

Yeah, but co-ed is much more fun. Imagine that! [Still waiting patiently.]

Well, usually girls want boys to stay out of sleepovers, so I can't imagine that... [NOPE STILL NOT GETTING IT]

Really? Stop and think a little harder. [He'll get there.]

[... ... ... Ah.]

Ah.

[Just some more laughter. She'll let him off the hook now.]

[THERE IS A FIRE BURNING IN HIS CHEEKS. He ducks his head, visor covering his face, and slaps around for the communication device.]

IIII think I'll skip out anyway, I'll just - [DEVICE FOUND, TURNING IT OFF NOW.]
