When: Now until he gets shuffled like the deck of cards he is! (What?)

Hi. So, this is not what I was expecting today. [He was expecting some additional rest and recovery after the last few days. Instead, he feels mysteriously good as new.] I'd just heard some great things about Netflix, and I was looking forward to chilling with it. [Someone may have missed giving him the full explanation and context of that phrase. Ooooor maybe they didn't.]

I am getting tired of being the one who always gets abducted. Winn and Alex could take turns too. Just saying.

[A soft sigh. He's staying in pretty good spirits despite everything, but he's wondering if this is doing him any good.] Is anyone even listening to this?

[And just in case someone is.] My name is Mon-El.

[Oh, wait.]

Mike!

I meant Mike. [Almost definitely no one noticed that. It was very smooth. He'll just turn this off now.]

... The nameless NPCs?

[spacebro]

NPCs?

[castrationfist]

You know, the support characters with no story nor fate. Background characters.

[spacebro]

Oh, okay, sure. NPC. Strange name for them. I'm not sure about the part with no story of fate though. I might want those.

[castrationfist]

Well, it's too late for you, anyway. Your role appears set!

[spacebro]

You're a little odd, aren't you?

[castrationfist]

Not at all. When you're talking about a beautiful girl, it's not 'odd', it's just 'eccentric'!

[spacebro]

How do I know you're a beautiful girl? [It's all voice to him.]

[castrationfist]

Ehhh, fine. This Tamamo is as radiant as the sun, so watch and be amazed!

[The feed switches to video, and... well, at first, it only shows a pair of twitching fox ears, before panning down to show her in her casual outfit.]

Is that better?

[spacebro]

[Wow. His eyes open a little wider in appreciation.] Consider me amazed.

[castrationfist]

Much better! You may heap your praise upon my beauty now!

[spacebro]

[He thought he just did. You want more?] Um...nice ears.

[castrationfist]

... Eh? That's it?

[spacebro]

No, no, I mean there's the tail too.

[castrationfist]

[She does flick her tail from side to side for a minute, but...]

They are rather striking and fetching features, it's true, but I'm used to more poetic praise, you know? Put some effort into it!

[spacebro]

English is my second language?

[castrationfist]

And my third, so no excuses!

[spacebro]

Maybe next time?

[castrationfist]

You mortals were a lot more forthcoming with praise when I was alive...

[spacebro]

Could be a human thing?

[castrationfist]

And you aren't including yourself in that category?

[spacebro]

I'm a daxamite.

[castrationfist]

A... what now?

[spacebro]

From Daxom. It's a planet. Or it was.

[castrationfist]

"Was"? What happened to it?
