Who: Winn and you
Broadcast: yes!
Action: Tourist!
When: now?

[ today, winn is coming to you live from the tourist's cargo hold. clearing his throat, he offers the camera a little smile ]

Sup, Fleeters, Winn Schott here, hope space is treating you well today. I got three things to run by you today, I'll try to be quick.

So one, I got - [ he moves the camera away from his face to focus on a box of 10 bears, on the large side. they have been dyed, and colorful patches have been sewn decoratively all over their torsos and arms. when he got them, they were covered by straightjackets, so this is his fix ] these. If anyone wants one, you're welcome to them. [ unless you're a tourist crew member. they will have magically run out if one of you tries to get one. he doesn't care if you can see them, they're not staying on this goddamn ship, ok. ] If any are left over I'm gonna leave them in Discovery One on the Iskaulit for public use in case anyone turns tiny.

[ he turns the camera back to him ]

Two - for those of you who don't know, Cisco and I have been running lectures, concerts, and whatever else people have been willing to volunteer their time for on the Iskaulit, and we're running low now. If you've lectured before and you wanna go again - you're more than welcome to, if you're a newcomer - likewise. Just drop me or Cisco a line with your name, topic, title if you have one, and availability if you actually have a schedule to keep - and we'll add you to the roster.

Three - Hank - don't let it be said I don't pay my debts.

[ turning on the karaoke machine he built with cisco, he proceeds to offer the network his rendition of the dire strait's walk of life. once he's done singing, a little flushed and embarrassed because last time he did this it was with cisco this is so much more terrifying on his own!! he gives the camera a little nod and signs off. ]

Was I supposed to sound convincing?

[pls]

[winn]

If you don't want me to make up for your lack of a childhood, yeah.

video;

[beathach]

I had a childhood, thank you.

video;

[winn]

Did you? Cuz you know, I'd totally believe you being born this old.

video;

[beathach]

It might not have lasted as long as a lot of childhoods, but yeah, I had one. I wasn't born old, I'm not -

[wait dammit yes he is]

- shut up.

[winn]

[ laughing, totally laughing. ]

[beathach]

You're not that far behind me.

video;

[winn]

I am now.

video;

[beathach]

Not that far. And I still look younger.

video;

[winn]

Are you power shaming me, old man? That may have been acceptable in your time, but we don't judge people for their lack of mutations.

video;

[beathach]

Technically speaking, it isn't a power. It's a side effect of enhancing my mutation.

Otherwise I'd probably look my age. Maybe.

[no you wouldn't, Hank]

video;

[winn]

Whatever, man. Point is, my 21 year old girlfriend doesn't think I look or am old, so - [ sticking his tongue out at him, accompanied with an immature sound effect. ]

video;

[beathach]

Maybe she isn't saying you're old because it'll hurt your feelings. [and, being the mature individual he is, sticks out his tongue in return]

[winn]

Careful there, Hank, I don't think going green's gonna look good on blue.

video;

[beathach]

Green isn't my color anyway.

video;

[winn]

Wow you just...you killed that joke. It's dead now.

video;

[beathach]

Probably for the best, it was a bad joke.

video;

[winn]

So now what?

video;

[beathach]

Hmm. Do you still want me to lecture on genetics?

video;

[winn]

Absolutely. And if you wanna add another topic, I'll be happy to schedule you again, there're a lot fewer takers now and people are gonna eventually get sick of hearing Cisco and me talk if we have to start covering every week.

video;

[beathach]

I'll come up with a couple of topics and shoot them your way, then.

video;

[winn]

Thanks man, that'd be great.
