Cheerio!

[thespaceopera]

[you're starting to recognize that familiar jingle, aren't you? the folksy tune comes drifting through your ship's speakers, followed by a much different voice than usual!]

G'morning, folks! I'm legendary interplanetary commentator Beau, filling in today for our lovely Diamond... Who has been feeling a little under the weather. Hope you feel better soon, darlin'.

Speaking of weather, here's the week's forecast!

Looks like we'll be having a heavy shower of transfers in the next forty seconds or so, largely over to the Wonderduck and Blue Fish, but with lighter showers moving in over First Breath and Huntress in the following twenty. I hope you folks have unpacked your ponchos!

[there's a hearty round of canned laughter from an unseen audience...]

Aaaand I am sorry to say, it looks like there's also been a bit of a cold front of disappearances--four of our band have left us, this week. While I can personally assure you it has not been due to death or other health complications, I can't completely rule out any connection with that cold that's been going around...

[a strange pause--before a little chime goes off in the background!]

This just in, we also have two brand new captains to lead our fine ships--everyone please give a warm round of applause to Captain Sok-ka of the SS Blue Fish, and Captain Fey of the SS Huntress!

[applause! tinny, pre-recorded applause!]

Fantastic. Be sure to tune in next week for more updates, and remember... the worlds are watching!


ooc: as usual, the network is open... but you won't get a response from Beau. the ooc post is here.

Who: Sokka and you!
Broadcast: Network
Action: SS Blue Fish
When: Shuffle day!

[He's been designated Captain of his ship. Sokka is used to leadership, he's lead his motley gang around the world, after all. It's something he has quite literally been born to do. After the flub before the Day of Black Sun, though, he knows public speaking is not his Thing. But not this time. No, this time he is going to inspire his crew and give them complete and utter faith in his leadership.]

So, uh, hi. It looks like I've been made Captain.

...Of the SS Blue Fish, I mean. Not like, the Captain of Everything, because that would be dumb. [A nervous laugh.] Could you even believe that? Captain of Everything. Ha...ha.

Anyway, I want my crew to know I've totally got this. I'm a leader back home, too. I make sure Team Avatar gets to where we need to go. Except none of you know who Team Avatar is, do you? Okay! Team who's responsible for saving the world. We're a big deal. So I lead those guys, and I've led two invasion forces.

...Okay the first one failed terribly but the second one seems to be going pretty well. Except for the fact I'm probably about to die. But! Uh. Yeah! I really do know what I'm doing and I promise to be the best Captain I can be.

Sokka! My name's Sokka. Though...you probably already got that in the announcement.

I'm gonna turn off the communicator now.
