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.

They're watching us jettison our recreational outfits? Those pervy bastards.

My advice is to not watch this shit.

Ugh! I was wondering what type of show this was, and now I know. [She sounds disgusted.]

Howdy there, First-Time-Writer! My piece of advice to you is never, ever open a box of one dozen starving, crazed weasels, no matter what the guy at the doughnut place says.

Your face will thank you.

I am not certain I would describe many of the histories I have heard here as 'hilarious.'

Nevertheless, if you wish for advice, I would say this: be bold, but do not be brash- and do not mistake one for the other. [Do as he says, not has he has done, okay.]
faithfulwisdom: (What's that?)

[personal profile] faithfulwisdom 2015-07-30 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
That is.... very specific.
preformthisneigh: (Of all the stables in all the world)

[personal profile] preformthisneigh 2015-07-30 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it helps to be specific with these kinds of things. You never know when somepony might make that mistake.

What, murder and kidnapping and demon castles aren't hilarious? You need to live a little, man.
delincuente: (☮ they call old whatshername︎)

[personal profile] delincuente 2015-07-30 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure she didn't mean to make it sound like that, but hey - if it's Pay Per View, no wonder we're making bank.

[Advice, huh?]

Because one can do something does not mean one should do something. Think well on the consequences of your actions.
faithfulwisdom: (Thoughtful)

Re: Video

[personal profile] faithfulwisdom 2015-07-30 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot say that I have run across many boxes of weasels in my lifetime, starving or no...
faithfulwisdom: (Sass)

[personal profile] faithfulwisdom 2015-07-30 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
[A wry little smile] Of course, how foolish of me. I have this troublesome tendency to take danger to myself and others utterly seriously.

[She makes another affronted noise.] Some things you just don't want to think about.

Here's some advice: stop messing with us.

[Every time Diamond talks, Syeira hates her just a little bit more. She doesn't bother to hide it.]

[ They're asking for advice? Ngh. He guesses this question is pretty harmless, and hey, he could always use a bit more money... ]

[Truly, there's only one bit of worthwhile advice that pops in his mind.]


Don't stop, keep walking.

[ .. Sure, why not. ]

If you're going to be cutting things, for cooking, hold your hand with your knuckles flat. Less accidents happen that way.

[Well. He grins, holds the edge of his visor, and:]

Never, ever give up on your dreams! Remember, you'll be fine! Just keep reaching for the stars, and you'll make it!

[A familiar voice can't help but try and stifle a laugh.]

Clay, you sound like the main character of a children's tv show. [It doesn't sound like a bad thing, though.]
geonomy: (☆ sink in the river)

[Awww, hey Zessica! He doesn't even stifle his laugh, though.]

Well, there are kids watching! [Probably. According to the kid who wrote that letter last time, at least.] Who knows, maybe they could use some motivation!

[She actually stops to consider this, a few different emotions visible before she gives her two cents.]

Mm, good question. No matter how bad it gets, or how hopeless you think something is, there's always someone or something to help you through it. Don't just give in without fighting back.
