Action: Anyone on Tourist
When: Tuesday, 30December, late morning

Broadcast
[Axel had spent a little time toying with the computers in Castle Oblivion, but the communications augment this place gave him is coming in really handy now. He spent about fifteen minutes messing with functions and filters and poked through the rosters to figure out which ship Riku was on--he never should have said Axel wouldn't be able to bug him from a whole other ship, because so help him, he's going to bug the crap out of him now. He was going to send a slew of annoying text messages to just Riku, but it'd be more fun to be obnoxious at his entire crew, right? Setting the filter for anyone onboard the Bloodsport, Axel decides that he might as well be educational while he's being insufferable. All texts appear to come from an anonymous source.]

Fire Facts! Everything you ever wanted to know about fire and never thought to ask! A candle flame burns at approximately 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1000 degrees Celsius.



Action for anyone onboard the Tourist
[Axel is in the dining area, his feet propped up and a big sly grin on his face as he sends messages from his communicator. There's a plate of barely-touched (questionable) food nearby--he's really not sure about this protein gel stuff. Feel free to give him some pointers on how to make it more palatable. Or maybe ask what's so amusing, if you dare...]

Bah, you really aren't any fun at all. Fire's super interesting. You know stars are fire, right? Come on, how can you not even be a LITTLE interested?

[limitstorm]

Fire's not more interesting than chocolate, or ninjas, or cats.

[limitstorm]

Or zombies.

[limitstorm]

Or vampires, werewolves, aliens...

[limitstorm]

Especially not more interesting than pirates.

[got_it_memorized]

How about ninjas on fire? And really? I'd pegged you for a dog person.

Zombies, though, that one I can get behind.

[limitstorm]

Maybe ninjas using fire.
I am a dog person. I've never had a cat, so it'd be interesting to know what they're like.
What, you like zombies?

[got_it_memorized]

I never had a cat, either. Tried bringing strays home a few times and got in trouble, though.

Dude who DOESN'T like zombies? Nobody I wanna hang out with, okay? Sheesh. Definitely the best scary movie monster around, hands down.

[Wait, when did this become like a normal conversation? He was just trying to be obnoxious.]

[limitstorm]

You didn't bring in the right stray, that's how I found my dog. They've got to be cute enough for parents to say that they'll keep them.
You'd be surprised.
Zombies are the best, vampires are weak.

[got_it_memorized]

Are you saying I have bad taste in cats? Rude.

Vampires ARE weak, they're totally useless for like more than half the day if it's summertime.

[Seriously, this is weird. It's like Riku is just a normal person or something.]

[limitstorm]

I'm saying you didn't find one cute enough.
That's what I'm saying! Werewolves aren't as weak I guess, but they're not as cool as zombies.

[got_it_memorized]

Werewolves are only cool one day out of the month, though. The rest of the time they're just like normal people, right?

[limitstorm]

Depends on the book you're reading.
Sometimes it's the only time they can transform, sometimes it's when they're the strongest.

[got_it_memorized]

[He just kind of laughs.]

You know, I think I take it back. Maybe you're a LITTLE fun.

[limitstorm]

Surprise.

[got_it_memorized]

You should try being less serious all the time. You could almost pass for a normal kid your age.

[limitstorm]

I am normal.

[got_it_memorized]

If you say so.

[He'll just leave it at that. He's made his point: he most certainly can bother you from another ship, Riku, and don't you forget it!]
