driftfleet | ⚛ 02: why this edition; video

Who: Hank and you!
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: The Blameless
When: now!

[when the feed flips on, it focuses on a crate on the smaller side, but clearly yet another sponsor drop. Only this time, it appears to be full of brushes, of all shapes and colors and sizes. There's also a note attached on top:

"Because normal brushes are just infuriating. Keep that blue fur shiny with these purrfect alternatives!"

there's a heavy sigh from behind the camera and a mutter, just audible enough to be picked up by the microphone]

Someone thinks they're being funny.

[another sigh, and the camera turns around, focusing on a woman's face. Reluctantly, it seems, because she looks incredibly awkward and uncomfortable]

Anyway - I know some people have pets on the fleet, so if you'd like a brush for their fur, feel free to come over to the Blameless and pick one up. I certainly won't be keeping them.

[she goes to turn the feed off, then pauses]

Also, Winn? This is your fault. Get over here so I can blame you properly.

[and with that, the feed disconnects]

They seem decent enough? Cheap but they'll do the job.

Maybe for someone who doesn't care about the quality of their fur....
I have standards, though
You should test one out on something and see how well it works

I tested on my hair, it's definitely a fully functioning brush.

I'd test it on fur but I don't have any at the moment.

But you have it during other moments?

[She's mostly joking.]

I do, actually.

Really?
What kind?

Blue fur. It really isn't a particular type?

I see
What are you, then?

I'm a mutant. Human, but just a little different.

Clearly
Humans don't usually have blue fur

Usually. Do you have fur?

Always
I'm a fox

What kind of fox?

Vulpes vulpes
A silver fox, technically
My fur is black, not red

I see. Are you humanoid as well?

No

[And by 'no' she means 'sometimes, when she feels like using her human form and not her fox one.']

You're very good at typing with your paws, then.

I'm a very capable fox

So it seems.

Should I set one of these brushes aside for you?

I suppose it can't hurt to have a spare
Alright
My name is Renart, I'll be by to pick it up at some point
Probably

[She isn't actually sure how using one of those shuttles would work out when she has paws instead of hands.]

If you can't make it over, let me know and I can drop it off, too. Once this wears off, anyway.

Alright, I am in the Heron

What wears off, exactly?

Oh, I have friends over there. Have you met Charles or Erik yet?

The augment glitch. I'm not normally a woman.

I've met Erik, yes

So you're normally a blue-furred male?
That will be fascinating to see

That's good. We're from the same world.

More or less. I have a way to pass for human, so I normally look like that. But it wears off at night.
