004 - If That Isn't Love

[preformthisneigh]

Who: Cheese and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Bishop
When: Sometime before Belth's meltdown

[The video falls on the grinning-like-a-lunatic pony. Guess what time it is! It's pony holiday story time!!!]

Heya everypony! Happy Valentines day. Back where I come from, we call this Hearts and Hooves Day. Buuut that doesn't really work here given that I'm the only one with hooves. Hopefully everyone has a heart of some description though. ANYhoo. We celebrate this day pretty much the same as they do on Earth. Spending time with our special somepony, hearts, flowers, yadda yadda.

[He's forever alone, it's not important to him.]

The story of how it came to be is waaaay different though. OKAY so a loooong looong time ago a prince created a love potion to give to a princess he loved. He wanted her to love him back. Unfortunately it turned out to be a love poison and it made the two so lost in each others eyes that they couldn't perform their royal duties. There was a dragon and the kingdom fell, chaos reigned. It was the worst.

Luckily there was an antidote. The prince and princess had to be kept from looking into one another's eyes for a whole hour. Then the love curse broke and everything began to be restored once again. And from that day on everypony celebrated that day as one of love because-

[He taps his chin with a forehoof.]

...Actually I'm not sure. It's not really a romantic story when you think about it. I don't know what the moral is. Don't force love? Don't drink a suspicious drink that your stalker gave you? I dunno. We made a holiday with it anyway. So enjoy that, if you have a special somepony and be glad they didn't poison you? Yeah.

Who: South Dakota and You!
Broadcast: Network wide
Action: Windrose
When: Today

[Feed opens to show her mildly pissed face as she kicks it back at the Windrose's comms station. Pissed as in 'angry that she got booted and didn't een get to go anywhere cooler before getting yanked back'.]

Back by popular demand, bitches. And apparently Atroma still sucks at ship names; I'm not anymore impressed with this one. If there's booze here, though, I might change my mind.

[Otherwise she might have to put in for a transfer; she had liked living on a ship with a barkeep.]

[Encrypted to Crowley]

You didn't replace me at the bar, did you? [In the most you better not have she's got.]

(no subject)

[pneumo]

Who: Sascha & Bigby Wolf
Broadcast: n/a
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Todaynight? Sometime around then.

[ There comes a time in all young vampires' lives when they venture out into the world space(??) on their own and start their own path. For Sascha that happens to be a rather impromptu trip to the SS Bloodsport where he knows he'll find the same grumpy, canine-smelling hunk of a man who'd lectured him on the space station only a week or so prior. How?

Because Bigby made sure to engrain it into his head before he left him at the butcher's.

He's been kicked out of a few beds by now--but not all--and it's enough to make him wonder if perhaps he ought to try a more familiar approach: that mean sneaking onto said docked ship and following his nose on board. Come out, come out, Mr. Big Bad Wolf.

It's late enough; the occupants of the Bloodsport should be tucked in for the night. ]

and in the blink of an eye...

Who: Luke Skywalker
Broadcast: Fleetwide (Accidental)
Action: Marsiva
When: 2/16

[Luke Skywalker is sitting pensively in front of one of the wide windows on the Marsiva's Hospitality Deck. Rather than staring out into the darkness of space, he's bent over a tiny silver disk in his hands. It's open, revealing a series of wires, something mechanical and complex. Lacking any proper tools of his own, Luke is replying it with careful fingers and, occasionally, teeth.]

[Lacking any proper supplies, he's forced to improvise. At one point, he removes the glove on his right hand. There's a burn over the back, but the flesh cracks open to reveal more wires and mechanistry. Luke pulls some wires out, breaks them and inserts them into the disk. It seems to cause some of the fingers on his hand to twitch irregularly, but the disk is repaired. He presses a button, and a little blue holograph of a smiling couple appears.]

[He stares at it for a little while.]

[Finally, Luke notices that he's being recorded.] Hello, there. How long have you been on, hm? [He reaches over and turns off the feed.]

[Actually wait. A second later, Luke turns the feed back on.] I suppose if all of this is being recorded, I ought to introduce myself. I'm Luke Skywalker. It's a pleasure to meet you. [His smile kind of... twitches.] All of you.
