Sound-off, one, two

[the interference is much better today! they really must be slowly leaving behind whatever cloud of radiation Diamond has been talking about, as the obligatory jingle comes in close to crystal clear. though, your host's voice still crackles a little before the signal finally irons itself out.]

Good morning, dear passengers-- both old and new! I hope you've all been enjoying all of this excitement! The Fleet is really building momentum, isn't it? The thrill of the local moons, all of this new activity, and our freshly booming ranks!

It's exciting... we're finally getting somewhere...

[she certainly sounds excited. almost edgy about it, really.]

Two whole ships are joining our ranks this week... bringing our number up to fourteen! Fourteen intrepid crews, fourteen fearless captains... [a pause, then] ...Sorry, fifteen. My mistake.

The SS Caprine and SS Starstruck join formation this week, with Captain Chopper and Captain... oh, my apologies again. [another pause...] The message must have gotten a little chewed up, folks. It looks like Captain Ellen-something, but the rest...

[and after another minute of thought, she finally gives up.]

Oh well, let's just go with that. Welcome to Captain Chopper and Captain Ellen! And we've lost Captain Henry this week, but First Mate Kingsley is stepping up to take control of the SS Bishop.

We wish you brave leaders all the luck as the Fleet gears up to make its way out of this region... and into the special surprise waiting for you in the month to come!

Enjoy yourselves! And remember-- the worlds are watching!

Er, is gambling legal here, strictly speaking?

In certain, er, places, it's...

[He clears his throat.]

Occasionally frowned upon.

Well...then it's a good thing we're in space! It's just a friendly wager anyway!

So! Gonna take a gander of what could await us next?
principality: (the second was like an ox)

[personal profile] principality 2015-02-22 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I...hmm. I suppose I could.

[He thinks for a moment.]

Wine. And hot cocoa. And books.

I think that will do.
wilder: (❂ scoffing)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-23 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, that's a rather nice bet! I wouldn't mind that.

[Sure would beat getting eaten]

What's your name?
principality: (At once I was in the Spirit)

Erm, put down A. Ziraphale for that one, thank you, love.
wilder: (❂ secondhand embarrassment)

[personal profile] wilder 2015-02-27 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
A. Ziraphale...

[...weird name, but then again "joe" is a weird name to him]

Alright...got it! We'll find out if any of us win come next month!
