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!]

[the only response from Kaito is laughter]

[raucous, unashamed, loud laughter]

[he has no idea what awaits him upthread]

Shut up.

[she wants so badly to say something but it's better if it's a surprise]

[waves a hand at the camera]

G-gimme a minute and I will!

[he takes one more look at the sweaters and breaks into a chorus of chortles once again]

I'm ending our friendship at this exact moment.

[he obviously doesn't believe her 'cause he's still smiling]

That easily, huh? Should I expect an official letter of termination from you?

Yes. I'm requesting official Atroma letterhead for this purpose.

Stuffed in an envelope, sealed with wax pressed with the official Atroma crest?

[his amused grin widens]

Yes. Delivered via intergalactic courier.

Now where are you gonna hire one of those? We're in the middle of space, here.

Are you questioning my dedication and perseverance, Kaito?

Nope.

Just the availability of couriers in the vast chasms of space where there aren't any planets.

I bet I could find someone on the Fleet to do it.

[oh dang. good point]

But they wouldn't be a professional space courier.

[probably???]

Laugh all you want, this isn't my world's tradition.

[fuck you kid]

[snicker snort]

It isn't a tradition I take part in, so I can laugh all I want. You shouldn't be so eager to give those away; I bet they'd look good on you guys. Heh!
