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.

Sorry you've met one in person.

But my friend is pretty skilled at like...calming them? And stuff??? So it usually turns out okay.
[He makes it a point to NOT learn how the Avatar stuff works. It doesn't make sense to his scientific mind. ]
Video
[It's amazing how many people take those for granted sometimes.] Plus, while your friend sounds like a pretty amazing guy, calming down a ghost isn't part of a common skill set.

No, it's not. He's the Avatar. It's...kind of a big deal where I'm from. It's this one person who's reincarnated like...forever?
Video
[He's got nothing. The confusion on his face probably speaks for himself.]
Video
[He shakes his head. ]
I don't get it either, man. And I live there.

I'm starting to think there's a lot of things I won't get... but hey, as long as I don't need to get 'em for reality TV, we'll be good.
