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.

thank god, I've been having tons of poor-grade candy. Seriously huge amount of poor-grade candy, it's downright Halloween night in here. really, eating me would be like eating about a billion poptarts covered in industrial sugar and dipped in soda.

[ he's 80% kidding and 20% serious and ok maybe it's time to reconsider said eating habits ]

Space - no. Though this setting combined with the general weirdness of things I've seen would make for a seriously awesome movie.

You say that like poptarts could turn me away. Poptarts are nature's breakfast.] But at some point maybe I should mention I'm not actually a cannibal. [She never thought she'd feel the need to have to say that. Living in strange times.]

I think they are doing more a show than a movie. Sorry to disappoint.

video

[benames]

man, it'd be awesome to have some space pop-tarts around here. or...poptart flavored wheat solids or whatever this thing is.

[ pointing to his make believe grilled cheese ]

just as good. I hope someone is actually watching this and that we're not all doing this Big Brother: Space for nothing.

[passingthrough]

There is something extremely unappetizing about the word "solids".

[That last bit surprises her though.] You'd really want to be watched by a bunch of strangers? [She tries not to think about it and apparently does a very good job considering the kind of fleet life she's been living so far.]

video

[benames]

Well, nope. but the unknown other options of why we're here freak me out way more than the space reality show explanation.

[ firm nod ]

video

[passingthrough]

Oh, you mean like the ones where maybe they are just experimenting on us? [She's had some various worst-case scenarios thoughts. When doesn't she?]

video

[benames]

That's...a good example of a totally terrifying option, yeah.

[ he doesn't want to think about it whatsoever but now that we're on a roll ]

That and that eventually some aliens will drag people away and eat them.

video

[passingthrough]

You know, I think if they were going to eat us they'd do it right after they caught us or they'd give us something better to eat than space rations. [Comforting?]

video

[benames]

Yes but- but! but what if those - jello things are actually designed to somehow make us gain weight or -?

[ you know what, nope. tossing the grilled cheese. ]

we gotta get to the bottom of this.

video

[passingthrough]

I've been here almost three months and I haven't gained any weight. Do you feel like you've hit the bottom yet?

video

[benames]

not yet.

[ pinching the bridge of his nose ]

I guess I might after spending some nights here and not being eaten by anything.

video

[passingthrough]

Has someone tried to eat you at some point? I feel like this is a very specifically odd sort of worst-case scenario. [Do you know The Blob? Because he actually does that back home.]

video

[benames]

dude. Alien - the Movie? everyone gets eaten except for someone who gets pregnant with alien baby and I watched that half a million times.

[ firm nod ]

video

[passingthrough]

Right, I've heard of that one. [Always nice to have a reference from before her world imploded in disaster.]

I don't think anyone is going to eat or impregnate you, but no promises.

What's your name anyway?

video

[benames]

it's a major classic. though I probably wouldn't like to see the movie here even if we had a chance. Sorta like watching Air Force 1 while flying.

[ nope. ]

Cisco Ramon - hi.

[ little awkward wave ]

video

[passingthrough]

Kitty Pryde.

I'm guessing that's a movie about the president's plane? So, the pop culture stuff is a little hard here with not everyone being from earth or the same time or a version of earth where movies are happening.

video

[benames]

yeah, I'm already working on a database where we can all login and type down some world information, might help with all the overlaps and also with the things that keep changing between the different earths.

[ never a dull moment ]

video

[passingthrough]

That's very industrious. If you meet someone named Winn don't tell him about it. He has enough projects as it is.

video

[benames]

uh.

[ smiling a bit while sorting his different notepads ]

I think you're a bit too late for that part.

video

[passingthrough]

[Sighing.] Of course.

I already don't like you, Cisco. [Not actually true.]

video

[benames]

sorry - you know, to tell fellow nerds not to take on more projects than we can chew is like telling us not to breathe.

[ firm nod ]

especially around here.

video

[passingthrough]

Hey, I can be nerdy, and I only have two projects. [And one is half or more Winn's and the other she shopped out largely to Erik because she can't manipulate metal with her mind.]

video

[benames]

nerdy is still not a nerd. we nerds recognize each other from a mile away.

[ firm nod ]

space nerdbros. from what I can tell, it's still mostly me and him around here. maybe Hank. ok, probably Hank. but that's it.

video

[passingthrough]

You know Hank already too? You really do attract each other. So limiting though.

video

[benames]

it's a pretty exclusive club. us uber nerds are far and in between -
