004 ↯ audio

Who: Davesprite and whoever.
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Indoors, moonside.
When: Now sounds good.

[Someone is done to death with masks and getting accosted by randos on the street. Thus, Davesprite has taken refuge indoors, since that's as good as it gets short of returning to the ships. He'd normally opt for text, but he honestly just wants to talk for a while. Even if his voice is equal parts bored and sullen.]

Sportball ambushes on the street are great and all, [it probably isn't possible for him to sound more sarcastic] but I got to ponder the selection happening in this contaminated stain on the face of space. Like, sure, there are "strategy games" [yes, those are actual, audible air quotes], but where my real battles at. You know, the wordplay variety, where you drop a witticism to a sick beat and slant it to rhyme. Twist that shit into ill verse and cause some deadly delirium not even the most decorated doctor could cure. Dude could be veteran to World War Disease and still find himself stymied by this nasty flow that makes even the gutsiest guerilla fold. Ain't a medic around who can mend my rap battle burns.

[A beat.]

So, yeah, maybe I'm only pissed about moon pollution central 'cause all these hostile idiots keep hailing me out of the blue and yet: not a single fuckin' rap battle. [This is definitely not the only reason he's pissed about moon pollution central, but priorities.] What's a guy got to do, besides deck himself out in a shitty respirator and biohazard costume. A live performance? God, this is stupid.

Yeah. It's easier to ignore the whole "we're watching you" thing when it's come nebulous concept... and haven't they talked about broadcasting our pasts to the audience, too? Talk about Big Brother.

I'd like to know that, too, because if they CAN even watch us at home, well, it goes back to the whole question of why they just pick and choose rather than bringing in the groups of people who can cause optimal drama. And how far their reach is, if they can look into our home universes that thoroughly. You're right, though, we have to guess whether or not they're telling the truth. The many layers are enough to make your head spin.

I just pretend they don't follow me into the bathroom, for the sake of my sanity.

Yeah, so I'm sure they use editing to their advantage. Which makes me think they can't be filming us ALL the time- considering how large the Fleet is, constantly monitoring us would be a hell of an editing job. So they just... choose when to turn the cameras on. Like when there's action or drama or moments with our friends happening, and when we start to complain about the conditions, poof! Nothing.
forsometimenow: (are you all in there?)

I can't see a downside to that, honestly. Either they'll get sick of it and kick you off, or you'll just not feature heavily in the weekly shows.
