Who: Winn Schott, Cisco Ramon, and you!
Broadcast: yes!
Action: Iskaulit
When: now!
[ Today, Winn's broadcast comes live -- from in front of a door. it's a plain door, one of the Iskaulit's, as it happens - and on it is a plaque reading 'Discovery 1'. He clears his throat and offers the camera a little wave ]
Greetings, fellow Fleeters! Did -- we decide on Fleeters? [ He mimes at someone off screen, frowning at whatever reply he gets ]
Drifters, we said - Drifters. Drifting in Spacer. Oh! Wait for it - wait for it - Realitynauts. You know because we’re reality show starts and astro - never mind.
[ Cisco Ramon’s face, no longer a girl, is shoved inside the frame. He is clearly talking while eating some version of space sandwich ]
Is this thing recording? Hi guys.
[ Winn scrunches his nose at the terms ] Dude, ‘Drifters’ makes us sound like a New Age boyband. [ He shakes his head and looks back at the camera - oh yeah, it’s rolling. ] You’d think I’d learn to rehearse first by now -- hi, whatever we call ourselves! If you’re new, that’s Cisco, I’m Winn, and we are proud to finally open the Iskaulit’s brand new lecture hall for business!
[ Hold on hold on he prepared for this - he pulls a party popper out of his pocket, and pops it at the camera!! Colorful confetti everywhere! ]
Dude my hair - anyway, we will be adding a document of the lectures to come and we want to remind a few unruly members of the Realitynauts - I’m looking at you Hank - to give us the titles for your lectures. Pronto. ASAP or I’ll be forced to tell awkward stories about you to the whole network even if they’re not true!
You really have a fixation on ~nauts, you know that? [ It never sounds good. Ever. Especially now, when he’s bringing it up. Why did he bring it up? He’s regretting all his life choices. ]
Anyway yeah, hurry up and tell us what you’re talking about, and if you weren’t around for it last time and wanna sign up you’re always welcome to, just hit up either Cisco or myself, and we’ll work it out! Lectures are gonna be Every Thursday at 8 PM, because of a very scientific selection process - but if our kindly lecturers are up for it - we were hoping people working on series will continue them on a day and time of their choosing so people don’t have to wait too long between installments. Admittance is first come first serve, but don’t worry - everything is gonna be filmed and uploaded for you!
Oh my God, do you get the paradox of us filming ourselves while we’re already being filmed by tacky aliens? It’ll break your brain if you try to figure it out. Anyway, to more important business.
[ Have a line face, network ]
It has come to my attention that different people here on the fleet are trying to convince others in various, unholy ways that their world makes the best pizza. Which is a crime since everyone knows Central City has the best pizza of the entire multiverse.
No one knows that because it’s a dirty heinous lie - National City pride!! [ Winn pumps a fist in the air; completely invested in this fight. If you’ve never met him, you might think he really is treating it like a life-or-death issue. ]
As you can see, this disagreement risks friendships and lives and so we have decided to solve this once and for all. Since we can’t actually have any world’s version of pizza here because space sucks, we are going to do battle, the winner will win everlasting honor for his city as the city where the best pizza of the multiverse can be found. And since we’re nerds we have decided the battle shall be based on -
[ wait for it ]
Song. Yes, you heard it! We are going head to head in the ultimate karaokebowl! Winn. Show them the machine.
[ Winn pulls what appears to be a small screen on a tripod into the camera’s view. Holding it in one hand, he gestures towards the various parts of it as he speaks in a Shopping Network voice. ] This is a state-of-the-art Winsco original Sound Weaver 9001 [ Because of course it had to be OVER 9000!!!! ] with a sound quality you have to hear to believe! Easy to connect to with all your network communicators or bluetooth devices!
The perfect war machine of our ultimate-once-in-a-lifetime-karaokebowl in the name of Pizza, the Flash and heroics. And just to give you a little example of what’s going to happen, me and Winn the Traitor here are going to do the first round using a song we found on the comms which is only the most please-get-out-of-my-head song. So, karaokebowl first round, Cisco Ramon representing Team Flash and Central City against -
[ Winn unzips his hoodie to reveal his custom made t-shirt underneath ] Winn Schott, representing Team Supergirl and National City!
[ Hitting the play button, the music starts playing ]
[ enjoy, Space, as you view the surprisingly-good-voice-wise-but-otherwise-absurd karaoke version of Let it Go by these two morons, complete with Cisco untying his hair dramatically in the middle. When it ends and just before the feed ends too, he will lean close to the camera ]
Pause for applause - other pretenders to the throne of the best pizza of the mutltiverse, you have been challenged!
[ Winn points to his eyes - and then points to the camera before ending the feed. As promised, the broadcast has a text attachment at the bottom with the lecture schedule:
2016: A Space-Time Odyssey Lecture Schedule
1. Loki - The Golden Skein - the science of magic
2. Tyrion Lannister - Follow up lecture on Westeros (1 of 2)

Re: video;
[She considers the rest, though.]
That... is true, actually. The implants mean there no risk of someone arriving illiterate, but there are other weird possibilities...
Well, there's a lot of brilliant people, sure. But I'm surprised at how many of them are willing to lecture on things.
video;
[ he's not gonna point out that the implants make any scenario that these asshole aliens find entertaining possible. this post is a happy zone. ]
Sharing knowledge is how these brilliant people got so brilliant in the first place, they're brilliant enough to see the brilliance of it.
video;
[good call, Winn, even she's not being that pessimistic right now.]
I do remember enough of school to know that brilliance does not necessarily make one a good teacher. Or get rid of stage fright for lecturing.
video;
[ the whole point of this broadcast was to forgo pessimism for a little while. well, that and also update people on the lectures. ]
True. But we have Charles - [ he's not gonna tense up he's not gonna tense up he's not gonna tense up ] who volunteered to coach anyone who's interested in the art of teaching, and we're all gonna be patient with each other here cuz everyone on that list's volunteering their time and effort. As for the fear thing - well, there's always the possibility of preparing a lecture and letting someone else perform it.
[ he's the last person to make light of a phobia, being in space is really hard on him. ]
video;
... It's going to be weird as hell to try to learn from him, though. I never could get along with his team.
video;
Who do you call 'his team'?
video;
[She sighs.]
"Ometotchtli"? Spend half a year listening to that name and I'm still sure I'm pronouncing it wrong... We were on different teams at our last interdimensional shithole.
video;
[ ok, good, crisis averted. he's pretty attached to one particular x-woman. oh and there's hank too. ]
video;
[She pulls on her cape a bit.]
Believe me, purple minidress is not my fashion sense, but it's my team's uniform. Takshaka.
He told you about that place, then?
video;
[ hank didn't seem shy about his experiences, but still he's being careful with other people's stories on an open network. ]
Never got to the teams part.
video;
[She seems to understand, though, and she's not going to start naming names. ... Unless asked directly, anyway.]
... I had a couple teammates here, before, but they vanished not too long after I got here.
video;
[ to get to keep people through dimensions -- just to lose them once you're there. ]
Are there a lot of people who don't remember having been there?
Re: video;
[She doesn't seem to want to say more than that]
video;
[ and now he's back to saying that every minute. no, the silliness is evaporating! come back silliness - come back!! ]
Well, anyway, I think you can go to him on the Heron for training for now, and once he's better I told him he's welcome to use our lecture hall for it.
video;
[you know how the ponies bring parties and insanity everywhere they go. nightingale is the opposite of that, sucking silliness from the air and replacing it with depressing just by existing nearby.]
Once he's better? Is he okay?
video;
[ he will never stop trying to get her into the silly spirit. except when he's doing it now because, well, his heart isn't really in it anymore either. ]
Yeah, yeah he just needs a week or two of rest.
video;
video;
[ he'd be happy if she could help him but...he's pretty uneasy with the guy, definitely not comfortable enough to talk about his condition with someone he also doesn't know well, on an open network. ]
video;
[Nightingale has no idea how to socialize, so she's assuming she just said something wrong.
She's trying to think of something to change the subject to, at least.]
... So, um. Someone's doing a concert as a lecture?
video;
[ it's not his place to talk about it, and all that. ]
Yeah - yeah, you know, a little culture could be fun. He's really good, I recommend tuning in.
