Who: Winn and you!
Broadcast: y!
Action: on the Tourist!
When: August 2nd

[ some of you may have noticed that winn has been uncharacteristically quiet for the past...16 days. he's not really sure how to address the elephant in the room - he knows these two weeks and change have been hard on the people he loves but for him it's like no time has passed and the dissonance is hard to bridge.

it's a good thing he has a not at all unhealthy coping mechanism set in place. ]

You know, if we're entertainment on a reality show, the least they can do is give us like a recap - you know your basic [ in a tv announcer impression ] here's what you missed on the Fleet - or - last week, on the young and the Drifting - [ he rubs the back of his head before shaking it ] Well, maybe talking about the 'least they can do' isn't such a great plan...first order of business - what'd I miss? Second order of business - if you or anyone you know has ever fallen into an unexplained sleep here or at any other kidnappy world - I'd appreciate it if you'd answer a couple questions, they're a text attachment at the bottom. Sorry if it's been done before, I'll gladly take a link to any previous research as well as fresh data. Third order of business -- hi. [ he gives the camera a little wave and a nervous chuckle ] Um. Yeah, I'm, I'm fine, I should've opened with that but if you know me the order isn't really gonna surprise you that much and if you don't you're probably really confused right now and looking for the off button - it's to your right, right on top, there you go.

That's it, I guess....good morning, Drifters - don't forget to drink your coffee! Winn out -

<br />1. <b>date and duration of sleep</b>: self explanatory.<br />2. <b>surrounding events</b>: when it happened were you or your sleeping acquaintance going about your daily lives, experimenting with anything, uncovering anything?<br />3. <b>results</b>: did waking result in new memories, loss of old ones, a change in personality or attitude, were you or your sleeping acquaintance at a different physical location (ex: new planet, back at your ship, new kidnappy world), were there any physical differences or after effects, if so how long did they last, anything you can think of that changed - put it here.<br />

[ except he's not all the way out. hank and cisco each get the following message to their personal numbers ]

I need to discuss something in person. My place? [ he can't really leave kitty yet ]

Hm, only your captain, I think - James Kirk, yes? He is a good Man, and has been kind to me.

[ Maglor chuckles at the note about the cargo hold, and follows Winn ]

action

[winn]

Yeah. [ he nods ] He's one of the best.

[ his affection and admiration for his captain are completely obvious. jim has won him over completely, he would follow his captain into the mouth of hell (complaining the whole way, but he'll still go!). ]

I can show you his room, if you wanna say hi while you're here. Anyway - to your right is a - wall - still a wall - there we go! The kitchen. Can I offer you some refreshments?

[ Maglor smiles and shakes his head ]

Only if he is not busy, eh? I do not want to impose. [ A chuckle greets the offer ]

Hm, well, vaguely tea tasting water is better than nothing, I suppose. [ Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the food machinges B[ ]

action

[winn]

Space coffee's starting to grow on me, personally. But that might be my taste buds dying.

[ he pours him a cup of tea all the same, and hands it to him ]

action

[bythewaves]

I sincerely hope that your Captain's folk invented better ways of providing food, or I cannot imagine how anyone copes.

[ Maglor accpets the tea gratefully all the same himself ]

Surely there must be a way to procure actual food!

action

[winn]

We still got supplies from the planet - your ship didn't stock up?

action

[bythewaves]

I bought things for myself - I am sure others did also, but is there a way to solve this? [ He indicates his cup thoughtfully ] I cannot say I have much fondness for the... slop the machines provide.

action

[winn]

You know what -- do you know Hank McCoy? He's on the Blameless - and he managed to make lab-manufactured ice cream. I bet he can improve on the quality of the tea -

action

[bythewaves]

Hm, I do not - but I will seek him out, and ask! Thank you, Winn. It seems strange that the ships do not themselves provide better food, considering that we are supposed to be... "entertaining" our vieweres. Unless our reactions to the poor fare are entertaining, I suppose.

action

[winn]

I think it's more our reactions when we get something better - I dunno about you but I had eating fests practically every day I was awake on that planet.

action

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor chuckles softly. ]

Hm, a good point. Well - I can certainly cook, so that is also an option, I suppose, to work out if there is enough in the kitchens to actually cook.

action

[winn]

You should see the stuff Pinkie Pie makes with what she's got - it's freaking amazing.

action

[bythewaves]

Pinkie Pie? Another person you will have to introduce me too, I think Winn!

action

[winn]

Not -- exactly. More a - talking pink pony.

action (keywords relevant lol)

[bythewaves]

.......Talking....pink..... pony. [ Maglor repeats blankly ]

Ai, but this place becomes stranger and stranger....

action lmao

[winn]

[ he laughs ]

See, all those years of living and wonders never cease. She's awesome - she bakes.

action

[bythewaves]

How? [ Maglor asks in morbid fascination ]

Hooves are not exactly conducive to... fine manipulation, shall we say. [ Like. Picking things up to stir... ]
