Who: Meg Masters & YOU unfortunate people
Broadcast: video
Action: Marsiva
When: now

[you're greeted with the expression of a young woman, thoroughly impressed and lounging on the bed she woke up on. She's already taken a cursory glance at the network after the confusion died down into something more like annoyance, and well - a bored and annoyed Meg is never a good thing.

She scowls for a moment, until she realizes the camera's on. Then she smirks and leans back, legs coming into view as she crosses them, getting comfortable]

So, two requests. [she holds up a finger] The quickest and dirtiest explanation you can give me. I'll be counting words and keeping track, and I may even give the winner a special surprise.

Two, [she holds up two fingers now] I'm looking for some good gossip. I'm behind on my tabloids and a girl has needs, you know? And sharing is caring, after all.

Don't keep me waiting too long, yeah?

Read this.

[She's got a file attached to the message. This counts as a two-word explanation, right?]

[angelherding]

[Meg is torn, here. So incredibly torn, but it is what she asked for, more or less]

Two words and a present, but reading. Hmm, how to score this . . .

[experiencepoints]

Well, it is exactly what you asked for.

[passingthrough]

Because ratings. [Two words and ratings are dirty business?]

[angelherding]

So it is. Clever girl.

Alright, extra points to the cute blonde. Think anyone will beat that?

[angelherding]

But what kind of ratings?

[passingthrough]

You'll find out when you check your credit balance. But you like it dirty? That'll help.

[angelherding]

I get paid for being dirty? Well, there's an upside.

[experiencepoints]

[... please ignore her turning slightly pink at being called cute.]

Unless someone else has been writing a guide without telling me, I seriously doubt it.

[passingthrough]

Unless the fans end up wanting something different from you. I guess they can be fickle. [But Kitty has an embarrassment of riches which she largely attributes to Winn.]

[angelherding]

[now whyever would she do such a thing] Aww, she's blushing. That's adorable.

I guess we'll see how clever the rest of this place can be.

[angelherding]

Fans? What, are we on a television show? Is this the Real World?

[a considering pause] Is that show still on?

[passingthrough]

Not in my world, but television isn't a thing there anymore. But you got it. We're on reality TV or so they say.

[angelherding]

Television isn't a thing? You poor, poor woman.

[she even sounds sincere]

Or so they say. Well, MTV had to accept my application sooner or later. Figures they decide to do it now.

[passingthrough]

I found a way to go on without it. [She looks amused.]

Season 563 in space?

[angelherding]

Please tell me the trashy magazines still exist. That there's still hope.

[how will anyone survive without it]

Oh, we're in space. [she lights up for all the wrong reasons] I don't think it's that far in, but who knows at this point? I'm game.

[experiencepoints]

I am doing no such thing.

Let me know if anyone says anything interesting, I guess.

[angelherding]

Oh, of course not. I must be seeing things.

[delivered in the perfect deadpan]

I'll keep you updated. Do I get a name, or do I get to call you the cute blonde from now on?

[experiencepoints]

[you are the worst]

Nightingale. Gray Nightingale, from Takshaka, if that means anything. What about you?

[angelherding]

[more like the BEST]

'Fraid it doesn't, Nightingale. I'm Meg.

[experiencepoints]

Worth a shot.

Anyway, if you have any questions, now's the time to ask.

[angelherding]

What's a Takshaka?

Oh, I have a ton of questions. Why is this place so clean, that one's really bugging me right now.

[experiencepoints]

A very long story.

Cleaning robots, I think?

[angelherding]

I like stories.

[a considering pause] Well, that's a new one.

[experiencepoints]

My team.

Yeah, they're around, you'll see them before long.
