⚛ 02: why this edition; video

[beathach]

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]

[benames]

Just follow the line of the make do s'mores.

[ :') ]

[beathach]

Make do - is that what that smell is?

[benames]

Could be your natural weird girly fragrance.

[ tee hee ]

But yeah, chances are it's my make do S'mores. Want one?

ACTION you jerk

[beathach]

[there is no response on video, because he ended the feed to come find Cisco.

Better duck there is something flying at your head]

No thank you, I'm not hungry.

[he's so POLITE]

ACTION :>

[benames]

-- Hey, talk about cute librarian look.

[ ducking, so much ducking. ]

Look, at least you're still tall. Remember Cisquita Ramon? I couldn't reach the shelves in the kitchen.

[beathach]

Why is it librarian? Why can't it be teacher, or - or scientist?

[because it's librarian, Hank]

I still lost a few inches. Do you know how weird it is not towering over anyone anymore?

[benames]

-- It's a librarian, Hanikisita. ain't a scientist, ain't no teacher. You're a cute librarian.

[ he tosses a s'more at his general direction ]

you're still taller than me.

[beathach]

That's really rude, and I'm not sure if I should be offended or not.

[he catches the s'more, though. Reflexes are still a-okay]

True. I'll hunch more so you don't feel so short.

[benames]

Hey, I made a hell of a cute girl. There is no shame at being awesome while switching genders.

[ which is...really the weirdest thing he said all week ]

You're a true bro. Try them. They're not half bad. I still can't get the marshmallow right.

[beathach]

I never said there was. It just - this isn't for me.

[he has hated this since the moment it happened, Hank's life is suffering.

But he will try one of your s'mores, yes]

—no, they aren't that bad.
