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.

[ 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.

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

[ 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.

[You want a provocation, you got it. Belthazar might have a cute face but his green eyes are glowing brightly and unnaturally, and there is a veritable storm of purple magic swirling around him.]

Speak of my parents one more time and I will incinerate you so thoroughly that even Atroma won't be able to bring you back!

[The video reply here is coming from another blonde girl, in what appears to be a magical girl costume of some kind.]

So... You show up, start insulting people who have been here way longer... Are you trying to piss off everyone else here?

[Someone new again! Let's meet and... wait, what the-?

But before we talk about how you look pretty close to someone I followed back home, let's focus on the important things: Introductions, then we can try to move on to damage control.]

Um... Welcome to the Golden. I'm the ship's communication's officer, Uzuki Shimamura. Or... I guess you're a communications officer now, too? Let's do our best together! In the mean time, if there are any questions, now would be a good time to ask. Also, I'm kind of working on something of an upgrade for our communications system, but it might take a while before it's finished, so if you need help figuring anything out with it, just say so.

You might have a hard time making allies here with a first impression like that.

[From one socially malfunctioning person to another, he can somewhat relate.]

[ w o w

he can hear allen's ragefit from here ]

Congratulations on the world's worst first impression.

[ hashtag hypocrisy ]

[Adra ain't bovvered. He's had a lot worse thrown at him than a simple sneer at his name. Belthazar, however ...]

You like mocking children, eh? That's fun for you.

[After watching.... whatever the heck THAT broadcast was, Shawn wanders into the kitchen because he needs a drink. Except, of course, the lovely lady's on his ship too.

You can almost see the incoming groan on his face as he helps himself to some soda.]

That was uh, quite the introduction you made there.
