[there is a guy(?) in the helmet of a space marine staring into the screen. once he's certain it's on, he backs up, and yeah-- dude is in full armor. given the attire, it might look like he's about to say something serious. and then he actually starts speaking.]

I am on TV! I am on TV! Look! Ah! Hellooooooo! [cue waving his arms around like a fool]

Um!! Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today... I would like to thank the academy. And, uhhh, Church. My best friend. Without my best friend, I never would have gotten this far! I would also like to thank Taco Tuesdays. Oh, and that reminds me-- salsa. THANK YOU TO WHATEVER PLANET FOR CREATING SALSA.

The end. Closing time. Good night and good luck, America!

[if your character wants to find him in-person, it's not hard. he's the rather large pile of armor shouting at his communicator, which is placed on a nearby chair.]

[Well, Atroma certainly knows how to bring in a diverse bunch.]

Are you... all right? [Because she's pretty sure he's not.]

And what kind of armor are you wearing? [She mutters that last part, not necessarily intended for him to hear it.]

[bludicrous]

I am all right! One time I was in a place where it was all left! It was kind of weird. I mean, everything was on the left! How exactly did that happen? Was it maybeeee... ancient aliens?!!

[bryces_pup]

[...yeah no, dude you are not okay.

Riona nods just... very... slowly, figuring out how best to handle this guy.]

That does sound very odd, yes. I can't claim to know if it was... aliens, ancient or not. I don't know what those are, exactly.

[bludicrous]

Well aliens were definitely involved in some way!

[bryces_pup]

And you know this how?

[Why is she even going along with this? Morbid curiosity?]

[bludicrous]

Because we saw them! There were a lot. And then they were all worshipping my best friend, Church. Who was a ball at the time. And then Church went away and they all got very angry.

[bryces_pup]

Well, I suppose if they worshiped him I can see why they'd be a tad upset. [Wait.] Why were they worshiping him in the first place, exactly? I hope not just because he was a... ball.
