003 - commencing countdown, engines on
Who: Clay Terran and YOU!
Broadcast: eyyyyy yeh
Action: On the Vanquish!
When: Today, July 30th!
[Clay's lounging in the pilot's chair, though he's still wearing his swimming trunks. Not only does he plan to go out to the beach soon after this, but gotta keep those ratings climbing, you know? With the camera on, Clay grins and gives his little two-fingered salute, then leans forward to talk more directly.]
You know, it was December before I came here. For anyone here who doesn't know about Earth's calendar system, December is the end of the year, and one of the coldest months. Later, when I woke up here, it was April, four months after December. Crazy, huh? Here I thought I actually went through with my mission after all! [Granted, he thought he must've been heavily sedated if he forgot four months of the mission, but that misunderstanding was later cleared right up.] Anyone else suddenly jumped forward or backward in time when they were brought here?
However, that's not the reason I'm broadcasting. Back home, my birthday would've been seven months from then, but now it's today. I still feel like it should be months away, but here we are, I guess! [He bends down, his hair still visible on the feed, then back up, this time with a fishbowl in his hands that houses one (1) red fish with googly eyes, and occasionally glows an orange color.] So I got a present for myself! Meet the newest member of the Vanquish crew: Apollo. He's just like my friend back at home. He's red, he tiny, and his eyes bug out like when he's doing that perceive ability of his! [And he ends up laughing a little about it. IT'S THE BEST THING EVER he hopes he can tell Apollo this someday, just to get that flat, unimpressed look in return.]
Also, we got something from a sponsor! [HIS FIRST ONE EVER if we don't count the pottery soda. Carefully setting Apollo aside, he instead drags over a box, where he pulls out one of several visors that look a lot like his, only with a sponsor's logo on it instead of the GYAXA one he has on his (and also less well-made than his).] Anyone want one? There's plenty in here!

Oh, that's good. I am pretty certain the last party we threw was terrible in every aspect.
no subject
... Diiiid someone die at that party? [He asks hesitantly, because is that a bad topic, or...]
no subject
[hmm] Apparently, aging and feeling old could have a harmful impact on one's mental - and therefore physical - status. Of course, full humans may feel this to a lesser extent. Althoooough I did read something about mid-life crises and inappropriate expenditures...
[now she's just talking to herself, oops]
no subject
Though you do have a point, there. Mental statuses can do a lot to a person's physical state as well. Mid-life crises are just like that, and elderly people who've given up on the world are more physically frail. [He grins, hand lifting to grip the edge of his visor.] That's why positive thoughts are always the way to go! You're sure to live a good, long, happy life if you keep it up!
no subject
[surely human lives are too short for them to waste time being anything but happy.]
