Who: Sarah Turner and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Golden
When: 12/06

[as the video flickers on, a blonde teenager stares intently at the camera before she flashes a toothy smile and leans in closer]

Aaaand there we go. Testing, one two-- [she taps the camera twice and grins a little wider as she hears feedback from her own device]

Is it too late for a Wizard of Oz reference? Because we sure are not in Kansas any more. [her left hand reaches up to fiddle with a strand of her wavy blonde hair as she looks up, past the camera]

So tell me if I leave anything out, because here's what I've got figured out so far. We're on Survivor: Space Edition, with just a dab of Star Travel mixed in for flavor. And I'm guessing instead of getting voted off the island, we get jetted off into space? Man, and I thought human reality TV was vicious. Turns out aliens are the real assholes.

[but despite that she laughs a bit at her own joke and turns her full attention back to the screen before she continues]

I guess the meet-and-greet comes next. Hey, I'm Sarah. [she wiggles the fingers of her right hand in a half-hearted wave] Nice to meet you, blah blah blah. While we're on the subject of introductions, I looked through the contestant list, and you guys have some wild names. Special shout out to "Belthazar" and "Adrasteius"... I can't tell if your parents were huge nerds, or if they just hated you.

So! Who all is out there? Don't be shy, I don't bite... much. [aaand yep, she accompanies that with another shit-eating-grin. She'll also be lounging around the Golden's kitchen area... Draped forward on the counter and snacking on her free pudding. Such a class act, this one.]

[Oh Lord this girl. Normally he'd probably flip right past not wanting to deal with this, but she had to be rude about Belth and Adra's names. Ugh]

...Belthazar and Adrasteius are elven names. Because they're elves.

[her grin shrinks to a smile, and her eyebrows shoot up as he talks. Elves, huh?]

Riiiiiight. Elves. Should I ask them for some cookies from their tree-house while I'm in town?

[. . .]

No. I don't think that'd go over well with them.

[ Speaking of weird names, here's One.

That was a terrible joke, but also that's her name. ]

It may be dangerous here, but I doubt you're in any danger of being ejected from the ship.

Oh no, whatever I do. Oh I know, I'll just shove them in my pocket. Or maybe build them a little shoe-box house, we'll see if I can find some cotton.

[she pauses, pulling the com device closer]

So who are you, oh defender of the little elves?

[I literally snorted]

Really? Well shit, now I probably just gave them a great idea. Sorry everyone.

[although...] What kind of danger is there?

...You have no idea what an elf is, do you?

[He can't even imagine them as tiny anymore. Too many years around Azeroth elves man]

I'm Allen.

Shut up, of course I know what an elf is. [she's seen Lord of the Circlet, she's got an idea of what kind of elves he means. But at this point it's more fun.]

Wow really. Just Allen? I thought with that get up [she flicks her pointer finger up and down in a quick motion] you'd be more on the weird list.

You clearly don't, if you think they can fit into pockets!

[OH. OH she did not]

Yeah. It's Allen Walker. And that get up?! Just what's that supposed to mean??

You look like a teenager but you've got Steve Martin level white hair. Unless you wanted platinum blonde and really missed the mark? But I guess that's between your hair stylist and you.

And your face tattoo is pretty wild. Looks cool, but you have to admit it's out there.

[you can practically see the anime anger mark over his head]

That's because it's a scar and my hair is just that colour.

And I'm twenty-three, not a teenager!

Jesus, really? Okay then, you can add "unnaturally baby-faced" to the list.

But whatever, "Allen Walker". Maybe I'll just call you Allenkus to give you a sci-fi edge. Do you like that one? I can think of a different one.

No, I don't like it. Call me Allen.

[she makes an exceptionally annoying whining noise] Awww, come on. But that so doesn't fit.

[....]

Allentive. Allonso. Allven. [3... 2... 1... she lets out a short snort-like laugh] Yeah, Allven is good.

Don't worry, nobody gets jettisoned into space. Just get your privacy horribly invaded.

[And a new player appears! Looking thoroughly unimpressed.]

Wow. You are terrible at nicknames.

[ She just sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose. ]

It's perfectly normal where they come from, you know. I've never heard of anyone named "Sarah" before, either.

It does fit, it's my name!

And no! Allven's stupid! It's Allen!

[she laughs in a short, snort-like sound]

Faaantastic. So what are we dealing with... Cameras in the shower?

[oho? she raises an eyebrow]

Oh? Alright Twinkie, show me what you've got.

Nobody's found any cameras anywhere, but we know they're watching somehow. So conceivably... nowhere is safe.

As bad as that is, it's not exactly what I was talking about though. We just dealt with this place actually showing off our memories to people.

[she waves a hand dismissively]

Sure, sure. [but no the reaction is way too good she's not going to pass on it] Whatever you say, Allven.

[God it's so good and cheesy, she'll just sit here for a second looking oh so proud of herself as if daring Allen to say something back]

[Which of COURSE he'll say something because he can't just let that be his name OH NO]

Allen!

Wait, are you serious? [but she looks so... normal.]

It's like, literally the most common name in the country. For my age group, or something like that. Never a single Sarah?

[.... ah so sad, and it all seemed like fun and games. She doesn't say anything back for a second before she shrugs and props her chin on her hand]

Wow, subtle as a brick. How did you know that they showed your memories?
