Who: Cisco Ramon
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: the marsiva
When: current

[ today you can see cisco ramon putting tons of cheddar gel between two wheat solids, pressing them all together into a sandwich before heating them up on the highest setting available. it's not really grilled cheese but it's as close as it comes.

he's already eating out of a plate of frozen banana cubes ]

ok so eating all of this alone while everyone else is partying is absolutely my senior prom all over again just in space-setting.

[ oh to be a nerd, even in space. ]

so - what do we call ourselves? the fleeters? this is just for future knowledge, I am not in any way implying that title is.

[ the space microwave beeps ]

are they going to serve frozen tequila cubes in that party? because if so then a) awesome and b) I think those should definitely be provided to those of us who are stuck here on board of the SS No-Date.

Just saying.

[ ok so cisco may have to bite his fist for a moment or two or six before answering because he thinks he knows what universe you come from, ma'am and he happens to be a fan and also you're so awesome.

he'd totally have taken Ahsoka to space prom, ok. ]

It's um - basically teenagers getting together, the popular ones getting dates and stuff while the less popular ones stay at home and eat their weight in nachos.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka's nose wrinkles in confusion.]

... I don't get it. That... doesn't really sound very fun.

[benames]

well - I guess it is. I mean, if you have any sort of friends whatsoever rather than people who said they would stuff you in your own locker.

[ firm nod ]

but it will be fun here since from what I've been told most people are actually nice and not, you know, total jerks.

[resnipstance]

Why would someone stuff you in a locker?

[benames]

Because they could and they were jerks.

[ firm nod ]

I...didn't have many friends in high school. re: not going to prom.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka frowns, crossing her arms.]

Well, they don't sound very much like the kind of person you want to be friends with anyway.

[benames]

Oh, definitely not. I prefer to try and forget those jerks ever existed. but um.

[ he gestures towards her ]

you look nice and people here, they're nice. so I think it's safe to say you should go to the party and have fun. it sounds seriously cool, I really wish I could go.

[resnipstance]

Maybe you could appeal the Atroma to make an exception? They're not exactly well known for their generosity but--

[ She pauses as the rest of what Cisco says sinks in belatedly. The stripes on her horns darken ever so slightly-- the Togruta version of a blush. A little awkwardly: ]

--Oh. Well, you look very nice too!

[benames]

you mean there's actually someone to talk to in here? you can actually ask the Big Brother for things?

[ that's seriously awesome and only a little terrifying ]

I'm Cisco, by the way - hi.

[resnipstance]

Well, sometimes. Sometimes not. You can try, but they don't always respond.

[She gives a little shrug.]

I'm Ahsoka. Ahsoka Tano. Cisco, huh? Are you from Earth as well?

[It's starting to become a reasonable assumption-- about 90% of the people she's met here, human and non-human alike, seem to come from there.]

[benames]

I guess there's no harm in trying. at least, I hope there's no harm in trying.

[ he really doesn't want to get eaten by space monsters D: ]

Earth, yep. it's nice to meet you - you're not from Earth, right?

[ the look kinda says it all ]</small.

[resnipstance]

[Dryly, but with a smile:]

What gave it away?

[benames]

you look so much cooler than any of us Earthlings.

[ not even kidding. just totally awesome ]

[resnipstance]

Oh! Is that what you guys call yourselves? I never realised! That's great! Now I finally have a word to differentiate between the humans-from-Earth here and the humans-not-from-Earth.

There's a surprising amount of you guys here, for a show that's supposedly inter-galactic.

[benames]

well, I call us that and some characters in movies do so - totally a legit way to call us.

[ he shakes his head. they really need more aliens if only for the cool factor of it all ]

probably because we get the most freaked out and it's probably funny.

[resnipstance]

Oh-- that's right. You guys haven't managed inter-galactic travel yet, have you? At least, that's what I keep hearing from everyone else.

[benames]

I wish!

[ don't even get cisco started ]

we managed traveling in our own galaxy but inter-galactic travels are like - a serious dream for some of us.

[ namely him ]

[resnipstance]

Hey, you'll get there! If you've managed travel within your own solar system, inter-galactic travel can't be more than a few thousand years off.

[The Star Wars universe is old as balls, okay.]

[benames]

hopefully not thousands because I still have a life's dream to do it myself. it's at the top of my bucket list.

[ cisco ramon: the next han solo ]

[resnipstance]

Well-- technically you already have, haven't you? By coming here.

[benames]

well yeah but not thanks to Earth technology and I missed the whole jump and the speed of light and -

[ ... ok yeah, he'll clear his throat ]

I've been watching a lot of movies about space.

[resnipstance]

Honestly, you're not missing much. Space travel is kind of boring.

[Says someone who gets to do it all the time.]

[benames]

what!

[ shrieking and ok he's definitely flailing ]

no it's not, it's like the coolest way to travel. you can have your own space ship and go at jump speeds and -

[ ... ]

but since you're doing it all the time, I guess I can see where you're coming from.

[resnipstance]

Well, you have ships that go from continent to continent on your planet, right? It's mostly just like that.

[benames]

yeah we mostly fly. they're called airplanes but they're much slower than any of these ships and they can only go so high.

[ huh ]

I wonder what fuel they use for these.
