Who: Isaac Lahey & you!
Broadcast: fleetwide; video
Action: Marsiva, hospital deck.
When: now!!

[ the feed flickers on, the camera shaking as the user clearly fumbles with the device. he's not the most graceful of creatures, isaac lahey. when it does finally center on his face, he looks a little bewildered. ]

Okay, so I've had weird dreams before but --

[ he looks around, walking around the hospital deck as though pacing the room might actually get him somewhere. ] I mean, am I dead? Is this what that great white light looks like? Because if it is, it's pretty disappointing.

[ no, really, he's had a lot of weird experiences with dreams, new places, supernatural things, and this? looks nothing like that at all. ]

I thought it would look at least a little more like Star Trek or... I don't know, more clouds? A lake, maybe. Something more scenic. [ ... priorities. ] Mexican food would be nice.

Trust me, if it was that great white light you'd be even more disappointed. At least this place has imagination.

[frigidaire]

Not much by the sounds of it. And the look.

[ Isaac always imagined being beamed up in a space ship with cool consoles and people with funny ears and uniforms. not this. ]

This has to be a joke, right?

[onlyanapple]

More than Up or Down, at any rate.

Afraid not. Or if it is, I haven't heard the punchline yet. It's probably a shitty, badly told one if that's the case.

[frigidaire]

I mean, anything that starts with a kid walked into a space ship... gonna be pretty terrible.

[ well, the joke would be better if he could say a werewolf walked onto a spaceship, but... secrets, secrets. ]

So yeah, shitty joke. You seem like you've been here a while, then.

[onlyanapple]

Probably aliens. Or zombie aliens. That's popular.

[Got to watch were ere-wufl-ay. ]

About a year. I was in the last place longer.

[frigidaire]

Zombie aliens? You've had those here?

[ he's pretty sure that's only something that would be a in a bad B horror movie. ]

Last place? What do you mean last place?

[onlyanapple]

We haven't had them here, but we had them in Paradisa. That was the last place. Soul-slash-emotions eating castle.

It was great fun.

[frigidaire]

Wait, so it was like a zombie castle? Seriously?

[ that sounds gross in so many ways but also super fascinating. ] I guess you were never bored.

[onlyanapple]

Oh no, it only occasionally had zombies.

But no, we were never, ever bored there. In fact, announcing you were bored usually made the castle do something ridiculous to you. She was spiteful like that.

[frigidaire]

Well, at least it was only occasionally.

[ seriously living in a place with zombies? could be cool for like five seconds, so he's glad he's just been kidnapped to space. ]

She? Man, a sentient castle can't be good.

[onlyanapple]

Saving grace, really.

Well, I think she was a she. Given the monthly outbursts, I think I wasn't wrong.

[frigidaire]

Oh. Well. Yeah.

I wasn't there but I'd guess you weren't. That... couldn't have been fun.

[onlyanapple]

It wasn't. This place is a holiday resort compared to there.

[frigidaire]

Wow, that sucks. Doesn't seem like a great resort, honestly.

[onlyanapple]

It's not, but at least it isn't screwing with us once a month or actively trying to break us. I'll take Atroma over Paradisa any day.

[frigidaire]

Well, I guess that makes sense. Still not sure I trust a kidnapping reality show space ship, so...

[onlyanapple]

Oh no, I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

[frigidaire]

Oh, good. Yeah that makes me feel better.

[onlyanapple]

Good. That's a good sign of sanity for both of us.
