[Once again, the Shuffle day comes and goes without a word from your chatty hosts... And once again, a day late, all ships suddenly receive a broadcast signal that plays out of every speaker in the Fleet. Even ships that are completely powered down receive the transmission--though it's not coming in very clearly.

There's a lot of static, no cheery jingle. Crackly, distant music comes through in pieces, along with a man's crooning voice, humming and singing an old song. Eventually, he can be recognized as Beau. There's a woman too, Diamond--who sounds wearily amused. It's nothing like the chipper voice that passengers are used to. These aren't voices for the radio; like the last broadcast, these voices aren't meant to be sent to the public.]


Happy birthday, baby... ♫

[Diamond, hard to hear:]

Oh you... Must we do this every time? It gets old, you know...

[More singing:] I dont even know your name... ♪♫ [A weak laugh.] --Very funny.

Though you never met... ♪ [A loud crackle eats the other sounds for a moment. When it dies down, a cold, robotic voice can be heard saying something, but it's far away...]

--Why is that light on? I think it's syncing up...

Oh. [Beau, for a moment, sounds more professional.] Get ready darlin', here it comes.

BROADCASTING ÌN͞ ̸͝T̢E̴̡͜N̕̕.̵̢̀<..

[The countdown, which was so clear last time, is almost immediately overwhelmed with sharp, screeching interference. The signal drops again, leaving every ship in silence.

...Guess they haven't made much progress on fixing whatever's going wrong, huh?]



(ooc: Atroma won't respond, but you're welcome to thread out reactions and discussion here anyway. Just another wacky day in space, right...?)

Glad to hear you've got some scruples. [Not that she really had any reason to doubt, but she's still perplexed by this creature.] They certainly don't deserve a cake.
preformthisneigh: (Hat on = cowpony time)

[personal profile] preformthisneigh 2015-10-07 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no they do not. Like, I could understand if they were just a little bit evil, but they're a lot evil and that just doesn't mix well with chocolate frosting.

I'll take the cake!

You know, if your credo says one needs to be baked.

[He just wants free cake.]
preformthisneigh: (Chim chimmery)

[personal profile] preformthisneigh 2015-10-07 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We have one bid for the cake! Any other takers? No? Then the cake goes to this lucky fella right here!
goldenglasses: (This is my derp face! |D)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-07 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! [Free cake for the win!] Hey! Since you're the cake master-- [Are his cakes any good? Vash doesn't know. Maybe it'll be made out of hay and carrots for all he knows, but free cake! He'll happily call him a cake master.] --don't suppose you know how to make donuts with the ingredients we have on the ships, do you? They're like LITTLE cakes!
preformthisneigh: (Just like that)

[personal profile] preformthisneigh 2015-10-08 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Aww, no, Belth is way better at it than me. I usually just hire my bakers.

[He cants his head, tapping his chin with a hoof thoughtfully. ]

I couuuuuld give it a whirl though. Don't know if I don't try, right?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (I spy with my little eye something CUTE)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2015-10-08 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! You should! [HE NEEDS HIS DONUT FIX!] You already have a very willing taste tester when you need it!
preformthisneigh: (Hit it Boneless)

[personal profile] preformthisneigh 2015-10-08 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll be the first person I call when I need one!

Great to meet you, Vash. I'm Cheese Sandwich. Glad to be baking for you!

[Cheese... eh, he's talking to a pony. He's not about to question the name.] Can I call you C. S. for short? Oh! Or Cheesy!
