driftfleet | o1;; You didn't see that coming?

Who: Pietro & You!
Broadcast: yes
Action: SS Bloodsport
When: Right now

[ Video;; ]
[ The video feed shakes, the audio cracking as the communicator is moved around. The broadcasting image so far is the floor, covered in multicolored confetti, and a pair of black and grey running sneakers in view. The left foot taps impatiently before the video swings again to the bridge of the Bloodsport. ]

[ There is a sigh before heavily accented voice accompanies the shoddy cameraman-ship. ] If this is someone's idea of a prank, it lacks humor.

[ The communicator finally turns around, and Pietro is very firmly not happy with this situation. ]

I have complaints.

[ SS Bloodsport;; ]
[ Pietro can be found in various places throughout the Bloodsport. In the kitchen, trying to figure out what the deal with protein paste is. The bridge offers a bit of a distraction with the endless sea of stars or the array of broadcast settings, and how can he resist settling into the bunks? It's been a very long time since he's had his own room. ]

I am also very persistent.

My, are you saying you are going to make a nuisance of yourself?

It's quite possible.

Then I suppose we shall see how successful you are.

I am always willing to accept a challenge, miss Tempest.

[ We will be friends, if only because of this weird face similarity problem. ]

You've picked quite a challenge, then.

Don't call me "miss".

[dammit Pietro that isn't how this works!!]

Why pick something easy? It is seldom worth the outcome if it isn't difficult.

I suppose that is true enough.

[ He winks at her. You know, like a little shit. ]

The uphill climb is the best part.

[oh my god]

That's the first time I have heard something like that.

Then you must not know very many interesting people.

[she tilts her head, eyebrows raised]

I know a few.

The outcome isn't appreciated if you don't get involved.

[her nose wrinkles a little]

I'm involved.

I meant overall, not you specifically.

Ah. I am . . . not sure what you mean, then.

I'm sorry. Sometimes I think too far ahead.

[ People are so frustratingly slow, sometimes, it's easy to get ahead of himself and they're lost in the conversation. ]

I see. You may have to slow down a bit, then, so the rest of us can keep up.

I may have to be reminded of that sometimes.

[ Not everyone can be like his sister and be in his head. ]

You may hear it often. You modern people are confusing enough at times - I am barely keeping up as it is.

You've been keeping up well enough on your own so far.

Only because you have not said anything overly confusing.

That is good news, too.

For now. [can't give him too much credit or he'll think he's winning]

But it seems as though you have a number of people to speak with, so I will let you settle in, as they say.

Don't be a stranger after I've settled in. I will change your mind.
