6th Shuffle

[cajunspice]

Who: Remy and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: Wonderduck.
When: November 21st.

[Camera set up and aimed towards him, Remy was in the cargo bay of the Wonderduck, aiming a smile down the lens. There was a medium size box, approximately the size of a suitcase, next to him, the lid open but turned away from the camera for the moment.]

As part of this latest, ah, gift from some lovely sponsor out there, it actually came with a little spiel that I’m supposed to read. So, [Remy cleared his throat as he squinted to an A4 size piece of what looked like a blue-tinted, translucent piece of plastic, trying to read some glowing writing that was on it.] Also, apologize to the sponsors if I can’t pronounce some of these words… it ain’t exactly English, or French… or ‘ny other language I’ve ever seen.

‘Do ya feel ya vigour ain’t what it used to be? Are ya partners losin’ their touch? Then spice up ya love life with,’ [There’s a pause as Remy takes a moment to figure out the next word.] Gnaksxnortl Inc.’s latest line of ‘Passion Products’. Includin’ products for he, she, ey, per, ve, ze, xe, ae, zie, sie, tey, ou,’ [Remy paused as he slid a finger down the panel, the words moving as he scrolled through them.] This kinda goes on for a while, but think ya get the picture...

‘So! Please ‘njoy this free sampler for ya ‘nd ya crews, ‘nd let the,’ [Remy struggles not to grin as he kept reading aloud, taking a moment to compose himself again.] ‘’nd let the Passion wash over ya.’

So... [Putting down the tablet, Remy again grinned at the camera.] ‘nyone needin’ ‘ny contraceptives or similar products? I mean, ‘m grateful for a restock, but be a little unfair not to share the, ah, love ‘round. [He managed to get through most of that with a straight face, a hint of a smile showing up at the end.]

Not sure anyone should be relying on anonymous donors for contraceptives...

While ya do have a point, what can I say, me 'nd cats, curiosity gets the best of us. [One of Remy's normal grins was added to the end of that, shrugging off the concern externally, but having thought over that issue already. Just how much faith did he have in these to not... explode or catch on fire or something?] Plus don't think it would do much for their name if they made their product public then have it go wrong, non?

[halfbloodhatchling]

Considering I've never heard of...Gnaksxnort before, we may be more of a sample population to experiment on.

But I suppose if it's all you have available...well, I still might not rely on them for contraception if that were a concern of mine.

A big wide universe, or universes as it would seem, out there, 'nd it ain't like we get to see the ads played around our little tv show we got goin' on here. Like throwin' out the name 'Trojan' 'nd seein' if 'ny of the planets we stopped off on would know brand, though would be rather 'mpressed if they did. Shows their marketin' goin' well. [Remy may just be rambling now, as given the chance and the audience he had the tendency to just keep going.]

Did they really think they'd get any takers for that crap?

[cajunspice]

Never know. Amazin' what some people will do for free stuff, even if it stuff they don't want or will use.

[interstices]

It probably has horrible side effects. Assuming it works at all.

[cajunspice]

Sadly it doesn't seem I can tell you, as the information on the packets is in no Earth language I recognize. Or at least the listed side effects aren't, if they are even on here. They really should look into that, clear labeling and all.

[cajunspice]

[A large smile spread cross Remy's face at the sound of her laughter, as that had been one of the main aims of his post; to make it amusing to those watching.] What, ya didn't like my dramatic readin' of the product 'nformation?

Re: video »

[ladybro]

No, I loved it. [ ... ] You should go into ad work.

[WOW]

[this is the face of someone trying to contain their laughter. to his credit, he's doing a good job of it]

I'm almost kind of afraid to ask what kinda sponsorship gift you received in the first place.

video

[cajunspice]

Well, this one is at least more 'nterestin' than the last one I got, which was a bunch of different weird flavored gum. I mean, this one seems to have a bunch of weird flavors too, but with less chewin' 'nvolved, hopefully.

video

[nowyouseeit]

[. . . HOPEFULLY. YES. kind of winces at the thought, before he moves on quickly]

I s'pose sponsors who give you weird gifts are better than no sponsors at all.

[axiomed]

Are we sure it's a sponsor gift or did you pick up too many?

[cajunspice]

Considerin' 'm lackin' the anatomy to use some of these products, let's go with sponsor drop, hein? [It's all taken in good humor, Remy's smile staying put as he joked along.] Got a preference, could put some 'side for ya'll.

[axiomed]

I'll pass. It'd be wasted on me, I'm afraid.

[ His romantic prospects aren't high anymore. ]

[lightbends]

[Going to just stare in disbelief and wonder what in the flamey-o these sponsors think they do all day???]

Uh. No. I think I'm good, but thanks for the offer to share?

[This being the one who got turned into a kid last month... she definitely does not need contraceptives.]

[cajunspice]

[Remy was able to restrain from laughing at Kora's reaction, limiting it to a smile and a shrug, before he put on a mock-serious glance, and a tone to match it.] Hey, knowin' how to protect ya 'nd ya partner's safety durin' 'ntimate times be an 'mportant thing to know. 'nd the rest of it just adds some extra fun, if ya be 'nto that kinda thing.

[universal_charm]

Don't give them all away - we need at least half, probably.

video;

[cajunspice]

It pains me that ya think I would do such a thing. 'm offerin' the extras, plus stuff we won't be usin' 'nyways.

Re: video;

[universal_charm]

I'm just making sure, in case you suddenly became overtaken by a generous spirit.

[survivalistcookbook]

[Oh, hey, it's the cook. Videoing right from the kitchen. With a look on his face that makes it perfectly clear why he's videoing rather than getting one step closer to whatever is in that mystery drop.]

Wow, just. Wow. They actually made me miss the completely incoherent sponsor drops.

[cajunspice]

[Remy gave a glance to Eugene's surroundings before a bit of a smirk at his reaction.] I donno, at least these are useful? Those others can get a real pain to find a use for, 'nd just seems wrong to jettison them out 'nto space.

[survivalistcookbook]

And it doesn't feel like too much information to know that our beloved audience and-or sponsors feel that the show's a little too . . . you know. G rated?
