driftfleet | Huntress-Wide: Voice/Action

Who: Kurt Wagner, the crew of the Huntress + anyone who may be visiting the ship. And anyone who might have a food delivery job!
Broadcast: Huntress-wide
Action: On board the Huntress!
When: Shortly after the latest Shuffle

[At some point while the Huntress is in orbit, an announcement comes across the speakers. It's a young voice with a German accent, and this blue guy is broadcasting from the ship's bridge.]

Guten tag. Good people of the S.S. Huntress, this is your captain - one of your captains, Kurt Wagner, speaking. Do we have any new crew in the house? If so, um... welcome! But for anyone who's hearing this message in general, I have a special mission, should you choose to accept it.

Today, I found out that there's a way to make a dream come true. A simple dream... a dream of getting pizza delivered to a spaceship! But there's a catch. They'll deliver, but the minimum order they ask for? It's pretty big. Now I don't mind having pizza to spare, but I do mind being even deeper in a financial hole. But then I remembered... Hey, there's a whole bunch of us here! If we all pitch in, we can nail this order without having to nail our wallets' coffins shut! So, come on! Speak up if you want to chip in... and name the topping or side order of your choice! Let's make this happen!

Addendum

[A few minutes later, Kurt sends out a secondary announcement to cover something that he's realized might be an issue:]

Okay, it's come to my attention that a lot of you might not know what pizza is! It's this really delicious stuff... I admit it's far from the healthiest food, but, um... it's like this flatbread that's covered in tomato sauce and melted cheese, and there's all kinds of toppings you can put on it, like meat and vegetables. They come mostly in big circular pies, and you take triangular slices from it. Pretty awesome, huh? And I left a menu out in the bridge so you can check out all the toppings and side orders they have. Um... hope that helps! Kurt out!

[ooc: Based on the answer to this question! Basically, anyone who has any reason to be on the ship can feel free to chime in and contribute! Threadjacking is also encouraged. And anyone can be free to have their character be the poor deliver person saddled with bringing this entire order up!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Visiting, per usual. And mildly skeptical at this announcement.]

What exactly is pizza?

[She's not chipping in without an idea of what she's getting into.]

Edited (WORDS ugh) 2016-02-08 16:02 (UTC)

[oh god, Princess Leia is actually talking to him

and she doesn't know what a pizza is

George Lucas, how could you.]

W-well... Ahem! Let me explain! [But suddenly it's hard to find words.] It's like... it's a good thing. There's... cheese and tomato sauce... y-you got your crust. [He tries to clear his throat again and try to tie his jumbled words together.] Pizza! It brings it all together, and... it's good?

[After all her visits to the Huntress, one would think she'd have met its other captain eventually. Clearly, it took pizza to make the magic happen.]

Huh. [It sounds...not bad, honestly.] So what kind of toppings do you put on it?

[He's probably made himself scarce to try to avoid making a fool of himself in front of Princess Leia. But the magic of pizza rules all...!]

Man, it depends! You can't go wrong with the classic pepperoni! But sometimes, I like to try something more creative, like pineapple!

Why don't you pick out the toppings? [She has the feeling that'll be quicker than having him explain what each option is.] I'll put in a few chips to cover my share.

...Whoa, really? Okay... Cool, I'll do my best! [Now he will agonize over getting it right.]

I just need a little while to think it over. What kinds of food do you usually like the best?

After eating out of these galleys, I'm sure anything will be fine. [Go nuts, kid.]

My name's Leia, by the way. It's a pleasure, Captain Wagner.

If you say so!

L-Leia, huh? Wow, that's... a really awesome name! [He tries to pretend he hasn't heard the name a million times before.] Definitely a pleasure! But... you don't have to be all formal with me. You could just call me 'Kurt', or whatever!

Uh--thanks. [She's not sure if he's just awkward or what, since she'd really like to think those holovids Dean Winchester brought up haven't been widely watched. Either way, she's not going to draw attention to it.] Kurt it is.

Let me know when the pizza shows up.

[Well, may as well meet the captain. Eugh, awkward way to go about it, but...]

What exactly is pizza? I'm afraid I've never heard of it.

[A fuzzy face sheepishly answers.]

I'm starting to wonder who actually has...

But it's really great stuff! [Luckily, she's not someone he recognizes from a movie, so he gives a relatively coherent explanation.] It's like... you have this flatbread and you have tomato sauce and melted cheese on it. And it's super, super delicious! Plus there's all kinds of toppings you can put on it! All different kinds of meats and vegetables... even pineapples!

[Nomi nods along, understanding it. It's not a bad sounding thing at all. Not familar, but not bad.]

Served warm I take it? I'm afraid I don't know what a pineapple is either, but it sounds interesting.

A traditional food of you homeworld?

Definitely warm! Baked to perfection! And a pineapple is a really great and tangy fruit.

You could say it's a traditional food! Traditional takeout food...

So, it's junk food?

[She's a mom, Kurt. She knows.]

K-kind of.

[He shrinks.]

Really... tasty junk food?

Everyone has their vices. I didn't say I wouldn't contribute.

Though, something with spice on it? Is that possible?

[Oh hey it's that crewmate he hasn't met yet, the one that looks like a hellion but isn't. Have an empty screen.]

Ah... Sorey mentioned pizza not long ago, so you're not the first to recommend it. I'm interested in giving it a try.

[It does sound pretty weird, but he's not especially against any of the ingredients, so.]

[NERVOUSLY ANSWERS THE MYSTERIOUS VOICE.]

O-oh... awesome! I'm glad to be a second opinion. I'll just sign you up, Mister...?

[why so nervous buddy, haven't you ever met an invisible man before]

Mikleo. And there's no need to be formal.

You said the menu's on the bridge, yes? So we can just write out what we want to try and leave it there?

Where is the pizza coming from?

From a pizza place on that space station! I was checking it out the other day. It looks like they know their stuff!

I should probably visit this space station. Do they have other things there or just pizza?

Well well well, finally being pro-active for once. So what are we supposed to do with all this extra pizza?

[Because.... Greed could afford all of it right now. He's been involved in some high stakes criminal activity. But they already have freezers packed with animal meat from Arslae.]

It just took the right cause...! [He says jokingly.

Then he blinks in confusion.]

Um... I don't know. We eat it?

Maybe so, but you managed to make it sound like more than your typical meal. How big is this order anyway?

[ He hadn't talked to Kurt in a while. He still wasn't sure how to approach the boy and his hero-worship. ]

Why not. I'll place an order.

Dude, awesome! You have any toppings in mind?

Meat?

[ He has no idea. ]

What are the traditional toppings?

It sounds excellent, Mr. Kurt...! I'll do whatever is in my power to make sure you receive your... 'pizza'! [THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE SOUNDS PRETTY RADICAL TBH.] You can depend on me, sir!!

I'm glad to have your support, Koala! Of course, it'll be our pizza. For all of us!

[AWWW.]

I'm so honored to be allowed such a thing as... 'pizza'!

...

W-what are the best toppings?
