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.

Oh my fucking christ. —Don't take that literally.

How about we, uh, just let Free Bird monopolize the rest of this conversation and pretend the Sherman Antitrust Act never came to pass. [What the fuck kind of reference even is that.] Sounds good, right.

[frigidaire]

What, furries make you uncomfortable? I mean you practically are one right, just less costume. The wings are real, right?

[ sorry, Bird Dave, shouldn't have given him leverage. ] The Sherman what? What does that even mean?

[feathery]

It means if Jade or Marhi ever stumble over this, I will die a slow, miserable death and I'll make sure you get dragged along into hell with me.

[frigidaire]

Oh, good. I'll message them right now. Thanks for the names, that helps. And I'm pretty sure the whole werewolf thing means I'm going to hell anyway, but whatever.

[feathery]

Does hell even exist where you're from.

[One can never be sure about these things.]

[frigidaire]

If you believe in it. I don't really care either way. I just want to make it through high school first.

[feathery]

Man, I never even made it to high school. I guess it's a good thing no one gives a shit about your educational attainment in space.

[frigidaire]

You're lucky. High school sucks. Homework, dances, and werewolves. Not really a fun place to be.

[feathery]

Doesn't sound so bad. Maybe without the werewolves, though, 'cause I don't know how high that ramps up the bizarro factor.

[frigidaire]

Depends on what werewolves you know. There are some weird ones. You know, revenge and anger and all of that.

The kind with the murder-everything-because-i-can sort of instincts. They're great.

[feathery]

Yeah, pass. I already been on the receiving end of a murderous dog rampage, I can live without a replay.

[frigidaire]

Whoa, well you look pretty good for getting mauled by dogs. Good job.
