Broadcast: Text | Open
Action: Anyone on the S.S. Bishop
When: After being shuffled onto the new ship

[action;]

[One moment he is on the Marsiva, waiting, and the next, he is appearing on the S.S. Bishop with a flourish of confetti and-- is that glitter? That can't be good for the ventilation systems. Ah, well. He doesn't seem interested in the 'dessert' that's been sent along with him. And honestly, he doesn't look like much-- just a skinny as hell fifteen year old dressed in a lavender shirt and some ridiculous pants. He's decidedly plain.

But there is a nasty slant to his smile, an edge to his eyes, that doesn't do much to make him seem friendly.]

I'm not sure what I expected... and yet I'm still disappointed.

[text;]

[When he's met his crew and such, he pops onto the network. He'll figure out the video function later.]

You know, I always thought space would be full of more... unusual things. Blue alien women wearing Harajuku latex, next-generation food replicators, oddball electronic music... But this?

This is about as appetizing physically and mentally as boiled tofu.

I am not whelmed.

[SS Bizarre seems pretty accurate considering these two fuckups.]

Oh, boy. I hope someone can fly the ship! It's so boring just being tethered to the big one all the time.

So, Henry, what can you do?

[carreau]

Hmm...maybe we'll get someone who can soon!

[ It would be nice and fun... ]

I'm good at using everything for communications! I've listened to a loooot of interesting things, ahaha~

[symphonist]

[Communications? Oh, yes, this sounds important. He leans in all conspiratorially.]

Don't keep me in the dark! I'm just dying to hear about what everyone's been up to.

[carreau]

[ Ah, the best way to build a friendship. Giving info to someone who probably shouldn't have it.

Then again, neither should Henry. ]

Hmm...well, everyone's been sick and trying to fix it, someone was giving away free food, and some people are secretly sending romantic messages!

[symphonist]

[Ah, but now that it's in Joshua's hands... well, things might get interesting.]

Ah, right, I remember hearing something about the cold going around. Free food isn't terribly unusual, but secret romantic messages! How... quaint. [His smile is the wrong kind of delighted for this-- like he's planning something terrible.] Who are the lovely lovebirds?

[carreau]

Well~ one of them's on this ship!

[ It's interesting, very interesting. ]

She'd probably stop if she knew I could see, though.

[symphonist]

[That narrows it down quite a lot. Joshua giggles in his usual unsettling way.]

There's no reason to blow your cover just yet. But do let me know if it gets juicy, hm~?

[carreau]

Ahaha, okay~
