Who: Krista
Broadcast: Network-wide video
Action: None!
When: Nondescript space time

[Krista appears on the screen, and waves a little! she's probably hiding on one of the stations, with all the neon lighting flashing on and off around her. she continues to speak in a whisper.]

Uh, hey guys. I'm probably going to end up being "The Girl Who's Always Asking Questions" at this rate, but I wanted to check... Has anyone actually done that thing with the augment upgrades? You know, where you get powers and stuff?

I mean, I found the list, and some of them seemed pretty cool, but like, uh. I wanted to know if just downloading some power into your brain was a good idea or a bad one. Seems kind of sketchy, you know?

Anyway, yeah. Let me know if you've tried it, or... if... you have thoughts? I don't know.

[catamite]

Uhh, the... [give him a sec.] Charm one?

[ladiesss]

...and you forgot that you got it? Is it really that lame?

[catamite]

Well, I mean. I sent in the little form thing for it.

...I just don't know if it worked.

[he's pretty naturally cute, after all.]

[ladiesss]

...Really? [tilts... her head...] You don't have, like, a little "I'd like to be charming now" option in your brain to switch on, or anything like that?

[catamite]

I don't think so...

I mean. Not anymore than I usually do.

[bing! see, there it goes--charming smile activated. but could also totally just be natural.]

1/2

[ladiesss]

Aha, nice...

[she smiles back...]

2/2

[ladiesss]

[WAIT she's not supposed to be charmed ugh.]

That's stupid, though.

[catamite]

[ha! he saw that smile. he wiggles in his seat a little.]

But yeah, it would be way better if there was some, like... way to actually use it. Or know if it even worked. Or whatever.

[ladiesss]

Weird. I'm kind of surprised it doesn't come with a little handbook or something.

[catamite]

Or, like. Just a little thing that goes 'ding! You have been granted your upgrade thing!'

[ladiesss]

Hah, or a receipt, or something. That's totally weird.

Have you tried looking in the ship network for anything? I'm still trying to go through all of it, but maybe there's a list somewhere.

[catamite]

A receipt would be nice. Then I could get my money back.

[ahh and he takes a minute to think about the network.]

And yeah... I looked... kinda.

[ladiesss]

...You didn't really look that hard, did you.

[catamite]

I looked!

...It's just really confusing, and there's a lot of it.

[if you have the attention span of a hamster.]

[ladiesss]

Yeah, okay. [DOESN'T BELIEVE HIM.] Maybe I'll go look myself...

[catamite]

...If you figure it out, let me know?

[ladiesss]

Uh, sure! What's your name?

[catamite]

Oh! I'm Nel.

[BAM, another charming smile.]

[ladiesss]

Hi Nel. [yes, yes. you're very charming.] I'm Krista. If you've got a personal frequency number, I can just, like, text you when I find it or whatever.

[catamite]

Oh, sure!

[you can totally have his digits, girl. he types that in right away and sends it on over.]

[ladiesss]

[aw yes.]

Sweet. Guess I'll get to work...
