Who: Carl Grimes & You
Broadcast: Network
Action: Red Fish
When: 4/8

[ The feed opens up in the Red Fish's cargo bay, a large crate opened up and its contents strewn on the floor almost like they're being sorted. Some of the labels can be seen and they're odd flavors and they're followed by some commentary as Carl picks them up. ]

Honey avocado? Cayenne chocolate? Eugh.. Black licorice??

[ The video shakes as he turns the camera around to frame his very confused expression. ]

So I guess this is one of those sponsor drops? I'd say thanks to whoever, but these are... weird. So I guess if anybody wants weird flavored pudding, come to the Red Fish. [ There's a little shuffling as he picks up a sheet of paper and waves it.

It came with one of these, which a lot of people have been getting.

Carl Grimes likes to yell at people when they're asleep.

Carl Grimes once ate 112 ounces of pudding.

Carl Grimes can't take his hat off.

Carl Grimes got shot by a deer.

Compared to the ones other people have been getting? It's not that bad.

True.

[All right. They're doing this. On three—

And peeling back the seal to taste.

There might be a little bit of a face at that one.]

That is definitely a food.

[recipio]

[ They open and take a bite at the same time. Whatever they think honey and avocado taste like, this definitely isn't it. His nose wrinkles and he puts that container to the side. ]

Is it too late to put it out the airlock?

[outstandingbalance]

No? [She clears her throat, putting that down. Probably someone would like it, but it's not for Natasha. Not unless she's starving.] Can't untaste it, though.

[recipio]

I didn't think it could be that bad. I was so wrong.

[ He glances at the other piles, suddenly disinterested. ]

I think I'm done for now.

[outstandingbalance]

Probably a good time for a break. Before you get into the licorice.

[She sits on a crate though, not going anywhere just yet.]

[recipio]

Yeah, probably. Thanks.. for showing up. You didn't have to.

[ It's appreciated, at least. This kid still needs more friends. ]

[outstandingbalance]

No reason not to. It's not like we have much better to do around here.

[She smiles a little, softening words that might come across as dismissive.]

Besides, the first one really was okay.

[recipio]

Not unless you have some hobbies.

[ He nods in agreement with a smile. ]

You were right. Not bad.

[outstandingbalance]

Are you implying I don't have hobbies?

[recipio]

Hey, I didn't say that! Maybe you just wanted some pudding.

[ It does have quite the siren song, you know. ]

[outstandingbalance]

That must have been it.

[Mild and wry, giving a slight smile.]

I'm sure it's making you all sorts of friends today. Even the licorice.

[recipio]

[ He shrugs. ]

Some of the crew came around. Only a couple actually tried some.

[outstandingbalance]

Hm. Well, now you didn't have to eat them all alone.

[recipio]

Damn. However am I going to accomplish that?

[ 8| ]

[outstandingbalance]

I don't know, but the rest of it is on you.

[recipio]

I think I can handle that. Might take a while, but nothing that's going to stop me.

[outstandingbalance]

You're stronger than me if you actually finish it.

[recipio]

Leaving some on another ship may be cheating, though.

[outstandingbalance]

Damn right it's cheating.
