Who: Shawn Hunter and YOU!!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Golden
When: September 19, evening
[As weird as Shawn's world was, it was never this weird. Instead of waking up in his apartment, where he should be, he's in some giant ship - and none of it feels real. This can't be real life. It just can't.
He's not on the giant ship for long, though: he finds himself beamed (like space sci-fi beamed??) onto a new place, with confetti and chocolate pudding that looks kinda suspect - but he'll eat it, food is food. Still blowing the confetti out of his face, he'll wander around, taking photos along the way. Every single one's uploaded to the Fleet, and well- there's gonna be an abundance of artsy photos, from various places on the Marsiva to the stations around the SS Golden. (People are optional.)
About an hour after the last one, Shawn's settled in the kitchen and he's fiddled enough with the comm device to realize that he goofed. Big-time. So when the feed clicks on, he looks more apologetic than usual.]
Look, I don't know how I got here - and normally? I'd be kinda down with living in outer space and being on some reality show. Problem is, I'm about to go to college, and I worked too hard to throw all of that away for... whatever this is.
[Making a face, though he's not quite aware of it:] Since I'm stuck here until God-knows-when, is there any way I can call home? Or figure out if anyone else I know's along for the ride? Thanks, uh, and sorry about all the photos earlier. I'm still kinda new to this thing.

[It's kind of a squeak of surprise because OH SHE'S NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING RECOGNITION STUFF HERE. But she's only had Uncle Shawn in two memories before and they were five minute long this at best, forgive her.]
He's my dad.
video
I'm sorry, kid, but that can't be right. See, where I'm from, Cory and I're eighteen. There's no way you could be his kid, unless you're like, from the future.
video
Wait.
Does that make you Uncle Shawn?
video
[Mostly because while he figured Cory and Topanga were going to have kids some day, he didn't expect to meet one of them this quickly.] Was your Uncle Shawn also a Shawn Hunter?
Re: video
[Kinda looks like a deer caught in the headlights because it's not like she knows his last name. She barely remembers his name-- or him. And so she opens her mouth, closes it, squeaks, tries again.]
Yees? You come over for Christmas and dad's practically married to you.
video
So well, in fact, that Shawn falls off his chair with a pretty loud THUD. Outer space probably heard it. He groans, pulling himself back up.]
Yeah... yeah, I guess I am.
[He pauses, acting as if that drop had never happened:] So, uh, Riley. I know uncles're supposed to be cool and bring you presents, but I just found out you existed, so... IOU?
Re: video
[SQUEAKS.]
Are you okay?
[Because you're not supposed to fall over. She kind of fidgets back with her hands, making a face before shaking her head.] It's okay... I can't really be upset at anyone for not knowing who someone is.
video
He pauses, now taking a closer look at her, and actually smiling as he finds pieces of Cory in her; she's got a lot of his best friend in him.] Hey, has anyone ever told you.... that you're kinda like Cory? But with your mom's hair?
[TOPANGA HAD BETTER BE HER MOM, or he will have words with that ski lodge. Very not-so-nice words.]
Re: video
[She smiles easily at that, a little more contently than moments before. Since now they're away from a topic she doesn't particularly care for and she does remember something along those lines.] You told me the same thing once, at Christmas.
video
[Headtilt - so he'd told her that? in the future? Maybe he's secretly psychic.] Huh. Well, it's just as true now as it was back then. Will be? Time stuff makes my head hurt.
