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.]

I'm - I'm [she can't bring herself to say the word, it's the first time she's felt empathy for Porky Pig.] -- okay!

[Still laughing. What this probably is? All the stress and grief of the past few months breaking out into slight hysterics, because it's really not THAT funny. But Rogue can't seem to stop.

Her poor reputation. It's a good thing Teddy and Billy are not here, or they would never let her forget it.]

[Shhh it's totally funny and Clay is hilarious. Teddy lives vicariously through Clay, he will never forget.]

Just take a deep breath and you'll be fine, Rogue! [HEH]

[Ouch! Cruel.

Still laughing, Rogue turns off the feed and shuts the door to break down into hysterics in peace.

You sadist, she'll get you for this.]
