Who: Allen Walker and You!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Blue Fish!
When: Today

[If you've been in the fleet for awhile you might have seen one of these broadcasts before. Allen appears to be in the Blue Fish lab, standing behind a table. Behind him Timcanpy sits on a shelf, this time wearing a small Santa hat. Allen seems to have a smile on, but for the observant it might seem a bit more staged than normal]

Hello everyone! For those who don't know me, I'm Allen Walker, I'm one of the medics aboard the SS Blue Fish. Which I must say, I'm quite glad to be back on the Blue Fish after the last couple months we've had.

Just a couple announcements today! We'll be holding our bi-monthly blood drive next weekend! The blood donated will be kept in case of medical emergencies that require a blood transfusion - in other words, using scientific methods to help someone whose lost a lot of blood. If you are interested in donating, we will pay you in money. Just fill out the form attached to this video. [And sure enough, the form is attached]. If you're interested in volunteering at the drive, we'd welcome the help, just let me know.

And yes, as always, there will be cookies and juice for anyone who donates.

[Alright, that's done, moving on now]

Secondly, it's come to my attention that during this time of year, many worlds have special holidays: Christmas, Hanukkah, Winter Veil, Hearth's Warming Eve, New Years and probably others I haven't heard of yet. There's nothing wrong with choosing to celebrate them even though we are far from home. If anything, it might help people feel a bit better about being here. No matter where you are or what you celebrate- it stands true that a holiday spent with the people you cherish can be truly magical.

[There's a beat as he smiles at the camera, then he continues on in the same chipper manner:]

That said, please be careful of any holiday decorations that may actually be magical, because in some worlds' traditions that's a good way to wind up kissing your crewmates. And if you choose to spend these holidays drinking, please remember to eat and stay hydrated. You'll thank yourself in the morning.

That's all for now! I hope you have a good day and a nice holiday season.

[He gives a wave to the camera before the feed cuts out]

[OOC: As usual, the blood drive will be handwaved due to time! Thanks all!]

So you did forget then...

[Okay, now she does sound a little annoyed.]

Does this have to do with why you would not see me when I came by your room on the Marsiva?

[Could it be that he was upset about her turning up in her calibration room? It's not like it had been her choice. Plus, she had thought that they had gotten along rather well. Though, it could be that he doesn't remember that either. But if that was the case... why had he seemed to recognize her on the Marsiva after the fact?]

[save_the_souls]

Why I wouldn't...?

[Okay, now he's getting really confused because he does not remember this girl at all. He knows that didn't happen.]

I'm sorry...are you sure you have the right person? I can't seem to remember you at all....

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Okay, that might have stung a little. Wanda's expression though probably looks more akin to the confusion that is on Allen's own face.]

You don't remember me from those "dream rooms" of Atroma's? That is where we met. At a train station, which I believe was your own room.

[save_the_souls]

[There's a long pause as he tries to think. That does sound like his room, but...]

...I'm truly sorry. My memory of those dreams are really fuzzy.

What's your name?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Well, that at least made her feel a little bit better. It would at least explain his behavior somewhat if he truly could not remember what had happened in that dream room. Yet, it still made his behavior on the Marsiva when she checked in on him all the more odd.]

Wanda. Wanda Maximoff.

You introduced me to Tim. On the Marsiva, I asked to see him, and you said that I couldn't at the moment. That you were busy with something. I asked to meet up later to find out what was wrong, but you never showed up.

[save_the_souls]

[There's a definite pause on his end, his expression unreadable.]



...I see.

[save_the_souls]

[He swallows. Well this isn't good. But he doesn't really know this woman, so he's less than willing to explain what he thinks this was about]

Well, I'm truly sorry about that, Wanda. It's not like me to be rude and stand up a lady like that.

Is there any way I could make up for it?

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[She cocks a smile. A small smile tugging ever so slightly at the corner of her mouth. She's clearly still trying to look a little offended, but Allan's apology did seem genuine and courteous.]

Perhaps. Like I said, you owe me a lunch.

[A moment before she adds.]

And playtime with Tim.

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles, giving a nod]

Of course, to both of those. I know Timcanpy wouldn't mind.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[That brings a bit of a smile back to Wanda's face. She's still a little confused and concerned by the small fractures of inconsistency to Allan's behavior over the past few interactions she's had with him. But still, this seemed more like the Allan she had met on that train platform in the dream room.]

Good. You know how to cook then?

[save_the_souls]

Er-

[He rubs his chin sheepishly]

Well, not well. But I always can buy you lunch!

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda pretends to consider his offer, but really she's already decided to forgive him and take him up on his offer. Especially if he's paying.]

That sounds acceptable. How about on the next waystation or planet we come by then?

[save_the_souls]

That sounds perfect to me.

Thank you, Wanda. For the second chance.

[notmutantbutmiracle]

[Wanda nods back, smiling warmly.]

You are welcome Allen.

[There's a slight pause before she adds something. Her tone mostly teasing, but there is a slight air that it might be just the teeniest big of a threat.]

Though I caution you from blowing me off a second time.
