Who: Nightingale and you!
Broadcast: Video to all
Action: On the Bishop
When: Now!

[When the video starts, Nightingale is just facing the camera, sitting in her room. Her fox is circling her, like it's demanding attention, but she's just ignoring it. Notably, the fox is also wearing a little purple party hat.]

So... As of yesterday, I've been here for a year.

[She pauses for a minute.]

A year by my world's calendar, not Earth's. Earth's calendar is stupid.

Anyway, when you factor in the time I spent at my last interdimensional shithole, it's been about a year and a half since I've been home. I know there's a lot of people here who have been gone a lot longer than I have, but... The homesickness just doesn't get much easier, does it? I'm even starting to miss the shitty fast food place right near my place.

Shit, I'm even starting to miss the last interdimensional shithole. At least there we had a purpose, even if the place sucked. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that we're not having half the people here getting killed once a week, but... There's no goal here. We just try to get nebulous 'ratings' to win at a completely unknown 'end'. We're being fucked with constantly, and...

[She has to take a moment before she continues, taking a deep breath. Then she lifts the camera, turning it around, to show a large crate on the ground, opened. There are: A large pile of party hats and poppers, several rubber snakes and small stuffed birds, and below that, quite a large number of what look to be glass bottles. (Of course, every single thing is purple.)]

That got a lot more depressing than I meant it to. Anyway, since I've been here for a year, I got this from the 'sponsors'? The drinks taste like shit, but they're strong, so... If you want to get nostalgic and talk about your homes or whatever and try to be less homesick, or if you just want to get smashed, I guess, party on the Bishop. Everyone's invited, and people from that shitty castle have drinks reserved already.

[suddenly, a noise from outside her door]

Hmmmmm...

[experiencepoints]

[there is a muffled 'DAMN IT' from behind the door.

and then the door opens and Nightingale immediately just grabs her to drag her inside.]

You could have said something!

[robitussin]

[cracking up as she's dragged tbh]

Oh my god, I can just imagine what your face must have looked like.

[experiencepoints]

Stop laughing! You're stuck here now with this too!

[robitussin]

I am detached enough to still find this hilarious.

[experiencepoints]

I should have told them when your birthday was.

[robitussin]

Joke's on you, once we're actually on a planet again I'm going to bring it up. Just didn't want to celebrate it on a toxic wasteland.

[experiencepoints]

Fuck.

[robitussin]

You appreciate me.

[experiencepoints]

That is questionable.

[robitussin]

I'm emotionally wounded.

[experiencepoints]

So am I. By these ponies.

[robitussin]

I believe in your ability to live past ponies.

[experiencepoints]

I don't.

[robitussin]

Stay strong, et cetera et cetera.

Also, let's sneak out while they're still busy discussing how to make a great party.

[experiencepoints]

Sneak out where?

[robitussin]

Iskaulit? I can buy you a drink.

[experiencepoints]

Well, you know how to get me interested. Sure, let's go.

[robitussin]

Yesss.

[off to a shuttle we go]

[experiencepoints]

[INTO THE SHUTTLE]

Are you buying?

[robitussin]

Sure. I'm enough of a mess that I have a bunch of credits.

[experiencepoints]

... Honestly, with us getting drunk, this trip will probably pay for itself.

[robitussin]

Exactly. See, this is a business endeavor.

You wanna drive?
