Who: Betamax and YOU
Broadcast: Video - Open
Action: On the Marsiva
When: Today


[The idle video feed doesn't catch much to start - as soon as Betamax is awake, she's dressed and out the door. It might catch a couple faint echoes of Argos? Argos! Joseph? as she flies off searching for her friends, but eventually she's wandering back and noticing the device as she enters the room.]

[She picks it up and gives it a brief looking over, her facial plates shifting in thought. It's pretty apparent to her what it is and what it's doing; she's dealt with similar tech before. She holds the camera out at arm's length as she addresses it.]

This ship is far too technologically advanced to belong to the Technicians, and I know there's nothing this nice and big in my own world, so ... where am I?

And has anyone seen Argos?

A what? No, no; he's not a shop, he's a Titan. He's my friend.

I mean, I guess you could say he was almost the size of a shop ... but I don't know about catalogues. That's more my thing.

And his name is Argos.

...

Yeah, sure, why not. Anyway, no. No one of those names here.

[She's definitely crestfallen to hear that; shoulders sagging slightly, facial plates shifting into a small frown.]

Oh, okay. Well, thank you for your time. [Maybe Argos just hadn't made himself known yet? Maybe she beat him here, wherever here was, and he'd show up eventually? She wasn't about to give up hope so easily.]

Do you have a name? Store or, otherwise? [She's have to wait out for Argos, but until then it might not hurt to get to know some of the locals.] You can call me Betamax.

Don't mention it. Really. At all.

[Because he absolutely doesn't give a shit about anyone, obviously. ]

Crowley. Not a store, though I do actually own a bar, so there's that.

...Your name is seriously Betamax? Do you have a sibling called VHS?

Re: Video

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

You're not the first person to bring that up, it's a video system, right? Someone in the Box mentioned it.

I don't know about siblings, though; some of the details got lost in time. I guess it's possible?

[onlyanapple]

Yeah, a really shitty one that tanked- which, probably isn't the best thing to share a name with, sorry.

Sounds tricky. Where you're from.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

It is tricky. Once for Guardians, twice for Exo Guardians. I'm the double whammy of tricky.

I don't really have an opinion on the actual Betamax whatever it was, but as a name it seems to suit me alright.

What's yours?

[onlyanapple]

Well, if you can work it, then that's all you need.

Name's Crowley.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

It's nice to meet you, Crowley.

[onlyanapple]

Likewise, I suppose.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

So, you said you had a bar, right?

[onlyanapple]

I do, actually. It's called Málum. It's on the Iskaulit.

It's the fancy bar.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Do you happen to serve inorganics?

[onlyanapple]

What, like do I ban them or something? Because honestly, I'll serve anyone if they're paying.

Buuut if you have special dietary requirements, I might have to work on that. My booze is pretty much edible for squishy living things.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Well I would hope you wouldn't ban them!

But, no, I don't exactly take the regular stuff. I do like the atmosphere, though; you can learn a lot from people in bars. [When they're drunk and looser lipped and also, they can be funny.]

[onlyanapple]

It would take a lot for me to ban someone, in all honesty.

[He's not about to lose custom after all. ]

I absolutely agree. Well, you can always enjoy the atmosphere. We have that in spades.

[per_audacia_ad_astra]

Well, then you will see me there!

[onlyanapple]

Excellent~ I look forward to it.
