01 - video/action
Who: Winn & you!
Broadcast: video
Action: on the Marsiva
When: now!
action;
[ it's the smell that makes the first tug towards wakefulness, or rather the lack of it - over the years, winn's gotten used to waking up to a familiar aroma of an apartment that's just a little too dusty, has just a little too many clothes that really should have been washed yesterday lying around, maybe some residual takeout smell that still lingers from the night before because he's forgotten to properly ventilate - none of it is hitting his nose now, and his mind is not taking it well. groaning, and rubbing his eyes with one hand, his other reaches for his bedside table to pick up his phone - only to hit air.
well that's weird.
eyes finally blinking open, he finds himself staring at an unfamiliar ceiling. shifting in bed - he finds himself falling to an unfamiliar floor.
what the hell?
he's dreaming, right? he has to be dreaming. or maybe it's a freaky fantasy like the one kara was stuck in - though why would anyone waste disgusting alien hallucinatory-leach things on him? and besides, this - this looks absolutely nothing like his ideal fantasy world! well, just in case it'll work (he'd fill really silly if he passes up the simplest solution for being too simple and it'll end up being all that it takes!), he shuts his eyes tightly, pinches his arm, and mumbles to himself ]
I hella reject this fantasy. You are rejected, fired, gone!
[ opening his eyes again, he finds that unsurprisingly - the only change that transpired is that his arm now aches. well, what else was he expecting? pulling himself up to his feet, he decides he might as well try to figure out where he is - and how to get out of here.
and then he spots the window. blurting out a girly scream, he turns his back to it, his knees nearly buckling under him, and his face losing color. slowly, he turns back towards it and chances another peek, chuckling nervously at his own behavior, trying to ridicule his fear away ]
That's a pretty good green screen -
video;
[ the face that appears on your screen is pale and clearly very shaken. actually, he kinda looks like he's going to be sick, doesn't he? good thing that space tech isn't 7-D! ...unless it is in which case, now would be a pretty bad time to find that out... ]
I got a couple questions for -- whoever's watching this - or - [ he looks around, waving his free hand to gesture around the room - wherever the less voluntary cameras may be ] this - If this is a reality show, when's elimination? Cuz I - I volunteer to go home! I mean let's face it, there is no point to keep me in the running - unless elimination's actually eh, elimination [ he runs his finger against his throat to illustrate his point ] in which case -- my vote is still on home, thanks -
This...isn't really space, is it? [ he chuckles nervously ] I know 'beam me up' was my birthday wish for like 3 years running, but you're over a decade late and this is so not what I had in mind - [ he clears his throat. not the point! and not something he needed to share with - potentially an entire galaxy. actually, this whole broadcast was probably pretty dumb, way to make himself easy prey. ok, no worries! he can still salvage this! ] Anyway! Little help, a lotta help, Xanax, I'll take what you got, thanks. [ clearing his throat again ] Over? [ nailed it. ]

(although, considering their circumstances, is it really being a conspiracy theorist?
he nods as he speaks. ]
So you can ditch assignments? [ that's some good news - that should mean he could go to kara regardless of what anyone says, right? unless of course, this is a luck-out-on-not-getting-caught sort of thing, in which case he'll be dragged back 5 minutes in. ]
Cool.
[ he's clearly not judging you, kaworu. hey, they're here against their will, why should they do as they're told?
well, with how vaguely he's answering, winn's getting the feeling that further questioning on this topic is probably not going to be welcomed. change of tactics. ]
So what do you do for fun?
video.
Fun, though... Just the idea of talking about fun makes Kaworu light up.] Fun? I like music. Obviously, I couldn't bring my piano here with me. So in this place... Mostly, I spend time with my friend, who came here from the same place I did. That's what's fun to me. I also like doing laundry and making things with the protein we're provided.
video.
[ those sure are two of winn's least favorite things to do with his time, which is why he tends to live on takeout and cereals.
well, hanging out with his friend from home is what he's planning to do, but she told him that has to wait a week. spending that week cooking and cleaning doesn't really appeal to him though. guess he'll have to figure out how to hack in space. ]
video.
[He says this more or less confidently, because he does most things confidently, but actually he's never heard that expression, so he's wondering what the heck Winn is talking about.]
In all, though, this place has its merits.
video.
[ ohhhh boy. cue the awkwardest of smiles while he contemplates the possibility that this kid was actually raised in a cave. he'd make a note to mind his sayings, but if he's perfectly honest with himself - it's more likely that he'll win an intergalactic reality show than manage that. ]
Well, I'm definitely a fan of the 'there's plenty of oxygen' part - but when it comes to merits - the more the meriter! [ he may be way too proud of that pun. ] What else is there?
