Who: opal, nightingale, and you
Broadcast: video!
Action: on the pathstone
When: now!

[When the feed turns on, it’s focused on... so many Christmas sweaters laying on a bed. There are more, hidden beneath those four and out of view of the camera; from what can be seen, it looks like there are at least three or four more. The camera swings around to two girls, one of whom has the most deadpan look on her face.]

I officially hate sponsor drops. I want none of this.

[The other one just looks kind of confused.]

I’m pretty sure this is another Earth reference or something that I’m missing here. What the fuck is wrong with Earth?

[It earns a snort out of Opal.]

There are many things wrong with Earth, and all of them are a long story. Don’t worry about it. Anyways, the point is that someone should come here and take these away because every single one is kind of the worst thing ever? Save us.

Either that or we can throw them out into space. That’s an option too. There’s a sun nearby to hurl these into, right?

[She sounds dead serious about this.]

...Maybe we should at least see if anyone wants them before we toss them into a sun? [But, she smiles.] I am totally saving shoving them out of an airlock as a plan B, though. Thank you for that.

[She glances back at the camera for a moment, though, giving the feed a Look.]

Seriously, though, get these far enough away that I never have to see them again.

[ooc: blue is opal, purple is nightingale!]

How many are there?

[robitussin]

Um... Seven? Looks like seven to me.

[geonomy]

Mm. Not enough, so no deal!

Though maybe I can make Apollo wear one.

[robitussin]

Not enough? I'm pretty sure there are way too many.

You should do that, 100%.

[geonomy]

Last time someone got a bunch of ugly shirts, I managed to get a pile and make it into a hammock. Sturdy thing! I still got it up in the rec room.

I'm definitely going to do that. Gimme a red one, red's his color.

[robitussin]

Is their ugliness still identifiable in hammock form?

The Bye Felicia one is sort of red. How about that?

[geonomy]

Not when they're turned inside-out! It just looks like an all red hammock instead.

Then that'll work! This is gonna be his Christmas present, don't tell him.

[He says while knowing full well that this is public]

[robitussin]

Slightly less horrible, then.

[she pauses]

...I don't think I can retroactively make this private, you know.

[geonomy]

[He laughs, his hands going to his hips]

Haha! I know!

The best part is him knowing what's coming!

[robitussin]

You are a cruel, cruel human being.

[she respects it]

[geonomy]

Yeah, but only to Apollo.

[that's what best friends do]

[robitussin]

Ah. True friendship.

[and then, because she doesn't know about him and allen yet:]

...Or more?

1/2

[geonomy]

[THIS AGAIN??????????]

[geonomy]

No! No. Noooo.

Just true friendship! That's all!

[why does this keep happening]

[experiencepoints]

In about ten minutes, none, unless someone has a very good reason for me to not throw them out the airlock after all.

[geonomy]

Well, I don't really approve of littering in space, though if you're going to do that, I say hold on to it until we get close to another planet, or something else with a good amount of gravity. That way, they can burn up in the atmosphere rather than drift through space forever until it hits something.

Maybe sell it to someone later? They might like weird Earth custom stuff.

[experiencepoints]

You think someone would pay for these?!

[geonomy]

Hey now, one man's trash is another man's treasure! Maybe it'll be exactly what they wanted!

[experiencepoints]

That doesn't make it okay to sell trash to people who don't know any better.

[geonomy]

Well, if that's how it's going to be, then just give it to them instead? You know, if they do want it.

[experiencepoints]

I guess so, but that involves having it until then.

[geonomy]

Hide it away until then?

[experiencepoints]

...

I think Stefan just offered to take them.

I'm worried now.

[geonomy]

What, did he say anything weird about it?

[i mean stefan's nice so]

[experiencepoints]

Not at all. I just don't understand how anyone could actually want these.
