[geonomy]

Who: Clay Terran and YOU!
Broadcast: eyyyyy yeh
Action: On the Vanquish!
When: Today, July 30th!

[Clay's lounging in the pilot's chair, though he's still wearing his swimming trunks. Not only does he plan to go out to the beach soon after this, but gotta keep those ratings climbing, you know? With the camera on, Clay grins and gives his little two-fingered salute, then leans forward to talk more directly.]

You know, it was December before I came here. For anyone here who doesn't know about Earth's calendar system, December is the end of the year, and one of the coldest months. Later, when I woke up here, it was April, four months after December. Crazy, huh? Here I thought I actually went through with my mission after all! [Granted, he thought he must've been heavily sedated if he forgot four months of the mission, but that misunderstanding was later cleared right up.] Anyone else suddenly jumped forward or backward in time when they were brought here?

However, that's not the reason I'm broadcasting. Back home, my birthday would've been seven months from then, but now it's today. I still feel like it should be months away, but here we are, I guess! [He bends down, his hair still visible on the feed, then back up, this time with a fishbowl in his hands that houses one (1) red fish with googly eyes, and occasionally glows an orange color.] So I got a present for myself! Meet the newest member of the Vanquish crew: Apollo. He's just like my friend back at home. He's red, he tiny, and his eyes bug out like when he's doing that perceive ability of his! [And he ends up laughing a little about it. IT'S THE BEST THING EVER he hopes he can tell Apollo this someday, just to get that flat, unimpressed look in return.]

Also, we got something from a sponsor! [HIS FIRST ONE EVER if we don't count the pottery soda. Carefully setting Apollo aside, he instead drags over a box, where he pulls out one of several visors that look a lot like his, only with a sponsor's logo on it instead of the GYAXA one he has on his (and also less well-made than his).] Anyone want one? There's plenty in here!

"set adrift on a ship of harmony" - video & action

[blindoptimism]

Who: Nunnally vi Britannia
Broadcast: Video - Unfiltered
Action: Planet-side, on the beach!
When: 7/28 (backdated two days)

[when the video feed flickers on, Nunnally waves. She glances away from the video to survey the scene before her... Such a beautiful beach, a beautiful planet. Her augment is malfunctioning and is partially to blame for her good mood... But the fact that Syeira helped her into a bathing suit (they sent her a ruffly one piece and thankfully a pareo to cover her legs) and her chair is parked on a bit of grass near the beach-- she can't imagine a more beautiful scene]

Good afternoon. [she smiles warmly, focusing her full attention on the camera once more] I spoke to someone months ago, and we both tried to imagine what planet would be the most wonderful to visit. He imagined a planet very much like this one, although with perhaps a bit more entertainment. But the beach is just as he described... I've never seen one quite like it before, it's beautiful.

[her smile looks vaguely fond and wistful for a moment, before she continues] I do hope that everyone else has been able to enjoy the beach while we were here? It's beautiful... and not only that, but the people who live here are wonderful. [she can't hide the passion in her voice]

Their sense of community, working together... they're almost like one large family. They were even kind enough to teach me some of their crafts. [ah, but she doesn't go into detail about that, although she's excited about some of the things that she's making :3]

Mm... has everyone else had a pleasant time? Please, if it isn't too much trouble I'd be delighted to hear about your favorite thing that you've done here.

[or, if in person interaction is more your thing, feel free to come hang with her at the beach :3 she'll be there until sunset... it would be too beautiful to miss out on]
