Who: Alistair and YOU?!
Broadcast: Fleetwide; mostly accidental.
Action: On the Marsiva!
When: Now? Now. Sure, now.

Teagan? Teagan! [ The man on the camera is young, handsome, and looking a bit put out to be where he is. This isn't his castle! What is this place? He's also sort of looking away from the screen, not fully aware he's broadcasting. He mostly thinks he's talking to himself. ]

Okay, hah hah, very funny, you've had your joke, now where are you? And where am I? I'm sure I've got a very important meeting with someone who will be very angry when I don't show up - not that I care much if I'm making the Orlesians angry, it's sort of funny when their faces get all red and they start trying not to swear, but still...

Have I been kidnapped? Has someone kidnapped me? I'm pretty sure kidnapping the king is treason. I can have your head for that. [ He doesn't sound so much angry as... vaguely confused and disoriented. ] Off with your head. Whenever I figure out who you are, I suppose.

Whatever gets ratings, I guess. Which means there are more viewers because of it.

Ratings? Maker's breath, none of this makes any sense. I mean, if this is some kind of theatrical, where is the audience? What's the script?

[bothbarrels]

It's a reality show—the unknown is the part that's supposed to be interesting. And...I guess the audience part is hard to explain. They have devices that can record what we're doing and play it back later for people to see. Kind of like the device you're using now.

I don't even know how this is working. This whole place is confusing.
