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!

[ Wait, getting off track here ]
Alright, I think that'll work. Do you drink often?
video;
[NARROWS EYES] Again, why are you asking me all this?
video;
Let's see, what else ... [ He's doing pretty good, but there's not really a tactful way to ask about the whole demon thing ... especially since Clay is a total normie ... ]
video;
I'm, uh... nooot really the romantic type, so... [He's so busy with SPACE that he just doesn't really think about romance anymore.]
video;
video;
video;
And I'm not talking about like a serious relationship, anyways. I mean, if that ends up happening that's great, but I just meant more like a date.
video;
video;
So what about the supernatural? Would you say you're easily frightened by that type of thing?
video;
Not really. It's a thing that happens! Some things can't be explained scientifically.
video;
Alright, perfect! Ten out of ten!
[ She'll switch this over to a private conversation, now ... ]
[ Locked to Clay; ]
So, his name is Allen. Maybe you've met him?
video; locked
Whoa, Allen? I mean, uh - Yeah, we've talked a few times and I gave blood that one time. So - Did he ask you to do this? [pls don't tell him it really is like a high school thing like he's been thinking this whole time]
video; locked
Just, we were talking about him getting back into dating, and it seemed like he didn't think anyone would be interested in him. So I've been on the lookout for people who are the same age and are single!
video; locked
So it'd be like a casual thing, right? [Because, like he said. Not the romance-seeking type anymore.]
video; locked
I just ... like, he's kind of my best friend, I've known him forever ... and I just want him to see that people are interested in him, and that dating isn't terrible. You know?
video; locked
[He's got a best friend too, after all. He'd pretty much do whatever it took if he started to feel lousy like that. Even date him himself! ... Or try to find dates for him, yeah.]
Sure, why not? It ought to be fun!
video; locked
Really? Awesome!
[ She looks excited ]
I'll text you when he's down for it, okay? It might be a little while, it's got to be at the right moment.
video; locked
Yeah, okay! [He grins, looking kind of excited himself. Jeez, it's been so long since he's dated anyone at all, it kind of makes him feel like a teen again!] I'm free pretty much any time, so just text me whenever!
video; locked
--Oh, and have a good birthday! I'd make you a cake, but I don't think they have the right ingredients around here.
