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.

...How close to cheese are we talking here, man?

[Clearly the important question.]
helladoomed: (Hmm)

So, totally fake but maybe delicious?
feathery: art@??? (what the shit)

holy shit

[WHAT ASTUTE COMMENTARY. For real, though, he's gonna barge into the kitchen because he wants to see this with his own two eyes. Incoming birdsprite in 3...2...1...]

It even smells like pizza.

[It's a fucking miracle???]

[Ooh, pizza! That's quite the rarity.]

It looks tasty! I'd love to try some, or at least get the recipe...!

Uhhh, sure. If we can change that from my due as captain to my due as the asshole who showed up and yelled "first". Sounds more in character for me.

[He leans over to get his first in-person eyeful of a Semi-Proper Space Pizza™.]

Dude, this looks leagues better than the buggy shit I saw a few pitstops back.
willynilly: (by the way)

Oh, um. Definitely never done that. What is it?

[Why is it growing in a jar.]
feathery: art@askturntechsprite (this is your commentary riff)

[personal profile] feathery 2016-09-28 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it was back on a moon. So it was a little better than a gas station, but, uh, it moved. Which was pretty unfortunate. It almost totally eclipsed the fact it was purple and green.

[This yellowish cheese is totally respectable compared to that and Davesprite is all too happy to take the plate off Eugene's hands. He gives the pizza (barbecue pizza??? idk, he's a nineteen-year-old boy, he's into it) a little sniff before he takes a bite.]

[She leans in as close as she can get to the screen, as if that'll give her a better idea of how it works.]

Whoa, for real!? That's amazing! How often can you do that?
willynilly: (or clap along if you feel like)

[personal profile] willynilly 2016-09-28 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
It's that short? You could have fresh bread every day if you wanted!?

[WHAT IS THIS MAGICAL DREAM COME TRUE]

C-can you show me?
interstices: (of our meetings)

[personal profile] interstices 2016-09-28 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
How long did it take you to make that?
willynilly: (no offense to you)

Uh-huh, we get flour! Oh, this is really exciting! I gotta tell Felix.

[She's practically bouncing. She just really loves food, okay.]

What can I bring you? Supplies, rations? Or do you like sweets? I have mochi!
helladoomed: (Looking for peace.)

White pizza is a thing.

I'm surprised nobody has ever shown up here with like, a tomato sandwich or something.
