Who: Eugene Woods
Broadcast: Video
Action: the Wonderduck
When: Tuesday Evening
[Eugene has been on a ship full of teenagers long enough - it's time he delivered on the promises to actually feed them adequately. Which is why he's now broadcasting from the galley, flour-speckled and far, far too pleased with himself. So pleased, in fact, that he'll just go ahead an monologue at the rest of the fleet.]
Some of you out there may have heard a saying, that there's no such thing as bad pizza. Now maybe you haven't heard this - say, for instance, if you come from a world that doesn't actually have pizza. But if you do, this is probably a pretty common truism. Whether you agree with it or not-? Well. That's a matter of taste.
[Pun fully intended, as the little curl of his lips and glint of his eye gives away. But he continues, because in space, there's no one to cue a laugh track.]
But in a hermetically-sealed tin can drifting through the cold vacuum of space, I think we can all agree that standards change. And in celebration of finally creating something that sort of, basically behaves like cheese . . .
[Camera pan to the oven, which he opens with a showman's flourish to reveal . . . a pizza! Basically. Sure, the cheese is a little more yellowish than usual, and the toppings are mostly diced canned meat product and mixed vegetable compound. But it's close enough for him to grin as he shuffles a hand into an oven mitt and withdraws his creation to rest on the stovetop.]
Voila. One down, and another five pies' worth of dough and cheese ready for the crews of the Wonderduck and Vanquish. Not exactly a New York slice, but hey, if anyone wants the next best thing this side of Alpha Centauri? Let's talk.

[He glances down. Remembers he's supposed to be kneading. Gets back to it.]
It works okay otherwise, though? You get all of your vitamins and stuff all right?

[He gives that a moment. Partially to think, and partially because, even as flippant as he's being and how unphased Wrath generally is about . . . almost everything, this can be heavy stuff. And he has a sense of where that rabbit hole goes, or where he's concerned it might well go, that 'yep, both of our worlds are kind of garbage' place that you don't really move past.
So. Pets to the rescue.]
Oh, I didn't get a chance to ask when you broadcasted about it. Is Snuggles okay?
