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!]

[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]

[robitussin]

You sure seem embarrassed for a friend.

[geonomy]

No, it's just -

We kind of get it a lot, I don't know why.

[robitussin]

Because he's the only person you're interested in teasing mercilessly?

[geonomy]

Yeah, that's because we've been best friends for more than ten years, also I have a boyfriend, so that'd be kind of weird!

[robitussin]

Oh.

[a pause]

Who?

[to the boyfriend part, that is]

[geonomy]

Uh, Allen? Allen Walker? First mate on the Blue Fish, blood drive guy? Really incredible?

[robitussin]

Oh, the guy whose shuttle I—

[wait no that is a horrible way to start]

I mean, uh, congratulations. He seems cool.

[geonomy]

Stole? Yeah, I know.

[Big grin there, heh, even if it was kind of a really horrible time. But moving on!]

He's really cool. Did you know his arm can turn into these ribbon things? [He starts to gesture] They can shoot out and latch onto things, like whoosh, and then we can fly up with them and see what's up there! It's the best thing ever! Oh, and it can turn into a sword! It's only when the situation's really bad, but it's still the coolest thing ever! [Nevermind that he hasn't seen it happen since he really shouldn't be near a scene where a situation gets that bad, but it's his boyfriend, so it's obviously the coolest] And he's one of the best medics the fleet has! And he's really, really strong!

So yeah. He's astronomically cool.

[robitussin]

Oh.

[well, yikes. moving on!]

...You're a nerd.

[but she's kind of smiling anyways? that was cute.]

[geonomy]

[He's got a little blush on his cheeks when he finishes all that. Yup. Totally a nerd for Allen]

I'm definitely a nerd. Though usually people call me that for knowing so much about space.

[robitussin]

Well, I mean. Both are good reasons.
