+1 unhappy time traveler

[nostraightlines]

Who: Ramse and YOU
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: SS Starstruck, if you want to come and find him
When: soon after the shuffle!

[ To say that Ramse is displeased is an understatement. This is the second time he's been yanked from one world to another, and where the first was actually an improvement, this second place is... not. Outerspace. Really. Really?! They don't even have space travel in his time, though he knows that in the past people made it as far as the moon. Nothing like this. His outrage at being taken is the overwhelming thing, though. He was happy in Eudio, where there was food and people he cared for. They told him they were sending him home (something he already had mixed feelings about) and instead he's here. Having to learn a new way of life all over again and excuse me it's being watched?

He's found the armory and the clothes in his bunk room, at least, so now he's dressed and armed. He sits in the cold empty space while he fiddles with the communicator. It turns out to be easy to use, and when he makes a broadcast his voice is deep and grumbly. Someone's sooooo cranky. ]

So let me get this straight, I'm new and might not have understood. We're here... to be entertainment. Not to save the world, not to help with a war, not to do anything productive at all.

Yeah. How do we leave?

Hey, can you combine powers? Like use the super strength to take people flying?

[takingkarabusiness]

Yep. I can even laser eye things at the same time.

[nostraightlines]

Laser eyes? You've got laser eyes. How often do you get to use those?

[takingkarabusiness]

[ she laughs ]

Technically it's heat vision. And more often than you might think. It makes cutting things from far away a lot easier.

[nostraightlines]

And you never have to wait for water to boil? Or would it cut through the pot first? These are important questions.

[takingkarabusiness]

It would cut through the pot. And probably catch everything in my apartment on fire.

[nostraightlines]

...okay so don't do that. Although how you know for certain makes me wonder.

[takingkarabusiness]

I have to leave some mystery, don't I?

[nostraightlines]

Did you blow up a tea kettle, Kara? I've gotta know.

[takingkarabusiness]

Maybe one day I'll tell you.

[nostraightlines]

That's a yes.

[takingkarabusiness]

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

[nostraightlines]

Well you must've cut through something thicker than a pot, if you're so sure. Bank vaults? [ Mock shock goes here. ] Kara.

[takingkarabusiness]

I would never. That's what I spend most of my time trying to get people to avoid doing!

[nostraightlines]

Okay how about... Car doors? To save someone after a crash?

[takingkarabusiness]

Usually I just pull those off. The heat vision plus a gas tank isn't always the best result.

[nostraightlines]

Good point. Uhhh... I'm hittin' a wall here. You're just gonna be the tea kettle destroyer until further notice.

[takingkarabusiness]

Kara the Tea Destroyer.

[nostraightlines]

That just makes you sound overcaffeinated.

[takingkarabusiness]

Also true! I'm more of a latte girl, though.

[nostraightlines]

Don't think I've ever had one of those... what is it?

[takingkarabusiness]

Espresso and frothed milk. If I can get my hands on either of those, I'll make you one sometime.

[nostraightlines]

Now I'll be on the lookout for espresso and pizza, whenever we stop somewhere.

[takingkarabusiness]

We'll have to start keeping a running list.

[nostraightlines]

Alright, what other foods are you missing?
