open mingle post;

[payback]

Who: Everyone on the waystation!
Broadcast: n/a
Action: open to everyone to tag into
When: October 11, 2014

[It sure is a lovely day actually pretty much indeterminate time period out here in the vast darkness of space, isn't it? I bet everyone's enjoying themselves, getting a chance to get off their dinky little ship and stretch their legs. Even on this shitty, empty little waystation.

Where are you, droot flooters? What are you up to? Stay out of trouble, now.]

[ooc: hi everyone! I thought I'd give this a try and see how the game liked it. What we have here is a mass mingle post. Rather than everyone making a bunch of different posts about landing on the station, everyone is invited to post a parent comment with their character out and about, doing something. Everyone else is invited to look at who's posted, tag them, post their own parent comments, thread jack, tag around and generally have a grand old time! It should hopefully be a nice low-pressure way to do some action tagging with each other.

Please tag in if you feel so inclined! Don't be shy to tag around!]

[ ...true. ]

Yes, I have realized that. This isn't about me, though.

[ So deadpan. ]

[goldenglasses]

But if we're both alright doing things in public, isn't that okay?

[amarant]

...

[ Yes but... ]

You do have a point. My apologies.

[goldenglasses]

Besides! If you act really happy when you eat something super tasty being loud and giving thanks is a great compliment to the chef! [Just not in the way Vash does it.]

[amarant]

Isn't that only if the chef can hear you?

[goldenglasses]

Well, aren't we on television or something? Maybe he can hear me!

[amarant]

Are we? I only know we were being watched.

[goldenglasses]

[Vash shrugs.] I don't really know. Some people seem to think we are.

[amarant]

...hm.

[ Well, there's another problem with that. ]

What is television?

[goldenglasses]

Hmmm. [Vash leans back against the bench and rubs at his chin. What was the best way to explain television? Unlike most of the people on his planet he had been able to view monitors and had television explained to him, but he had never really watched a show on one before. So how to explain it?]

Well, a television is like a box. And in the box is a screen kind of like the monitors on the ships. You turn them on to see things. Only instead of information like the ships show us, television shows moving pictures and tell stories. Kinda like a moving picture book!

[amarant]

[ So a combination of the monitors and...a book. And pictures. ]

Would it be similar to a radio program told over a monitor, then?

[goldenglasses]

Yeah! But instead of someone standing and reading there are actors playing the role! Kind of like a play that everyone around the ah... universe I guess! Can watch at the same time!
