002; video

Who: Hank McCoy and Erik Lehnsherr
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: crashed ship
When: today!

[when the feed opens, the network is gifted with the bickering of two men]

I don't see why you can't do this.

[Erik is the one visible on screen, and he doesn’t look pleased about it at all. He jerks his chin towards the wall next to him, irritated.]

Because it’s your idea, and I don’t want to.

[the huff that follows is a little on the growly side]

I’m here to open paths, not send out messages. [As if to punctuate this point, Erik turns away from the camera and swipes his hand through the air. The metal wall crumples to the side with a shriek, curling up on itself like a ringpull.

The camera shifts off of Erik with a muttered "show off" to the plant life spilling out of the side of the hull, and a clawed, blue foot comes into frame to poke at a nearby pumpkin]


In any case - Erik and I are at the crashed ship, if anyone would like us to bring some of these back. If you're interested, feel free to message one of us.

As for the ship - if anyone else is planning to come out here, be careful. There's ways into the ship, but it has been here a while, so it's falling apart. We'll try to get some information about the signal while we're here, though so far we haven't had much luck.

[the camera moves back to Erik]

Do you have anything you want to add?

[Erik’s mostly occupied with pointing his flashlight into the gloom of the area beyond the wall. He does give a curt response.]

No requests for pumpkins bigger than the usual Earth-size.

[It's incredibly dark in the newly opened section, so Erik just sighs and turns off his flashlight, stepping back into the greener area.]

You can't just make sweeping offers without limitations.

[ This is still amusing, even though he got prior notice. ]

It's sweet that you two are bonding. Have fun out there.

[There's a blue monster guy and did this other guy just DESTROY A WALL??? No one is questioning this???]

. . .I have so many other questions but I would like a pumpkin, yes.

There goes my opportunity to ask for a pumpkin carriage, Cinderella style.

[The voice that accompanies the video is wry, bemusement at the display in the broadcast mingled with humor at the bickering interactions.]

All my hopes, dashed.

[ so many responses, so little time. ]

Any luck with anything else? What's the ship control look like, is it similar to our ships?

[ ok, serious part, check. ]

FYI, if you start using shaky cam, I'm sending in the cavalry. [ aka kara. what, they're at a creepy crashed ship around halloween, making a video. it's like asking for a horror scenario.

sending in the pretty girl may seem like a bad way to defuse the situation but hey, horror movie pretty girls can't usually throw their assailants to outer space, so. ]
girlverine: (A moment of consideration.)

[It was the shriek of metal twisting as Erik tore his way into the ship that drew Laura's attention from where she was higher up on the hull. She made her way down the side, coming to a stop just above the hole shortly after they entered the ship, leaning down to peer upside-down after them. Hm.]

What are you doing?

[She was nosy. Oops.]

I wish for a copy of all the information regarding the transmission.

You're both idiots.

[ At least it's said fondly. ]

[Kurt's expression is carefully constructed, and his voice likewise under control.]

Are the walls any steadier than the floors, can you tell?

Oh, and could you bring back some seeds if no one from the Windrose has already asked? My captain will probably want to try his hand at growing a pumpkin.
exothermia: (You don't know)

[The way back was bound to be easier, they had thought. For one thing they had marked their path, either by senses or claws, on the way down. It should be easy enough to follow the same route back to the hull of the ship. The whole trip would still take a good couple of hours, but they had gotten an early start. Reaching the exit by nightfall should be easy enough.

Except they got turned around, when one of the corridors they had come through originally seemed to have collapsed in the intervening time. Erik had merely glared at it for a moment then turned away with a curse, and started to pick another way through the labyrinth of crumpled hallways. So now they're stepping carefully through another vine-choked doorway, turning their flashlights to the darkness ahead.]


It should be... left. To continue upwards.

I would like a pumpkin that is the size of Earth, but no larger. [See what she did there? Also, trying to be normal.]
