005. video + action.
Who: Shinji Ikari and you?!
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: On the Heron. If any of Shinji's crew members want their own costume (see below), feel free to claim one.
When: Right around now.
[network.]
[Where the heck is that music coming from?
Unaware that he's being filmed, Shinji wanders into the cargo bay of the Heron, following the muddled melody that's been plaguing him for a few minutes now. He stops dead in his tracks when he comes across--that. That rather large cardboard box with his name clearly plastered on the side. The music seems to be emanating from inside, on a loop.]
Well, that's not ominous at all, [he says dryly.
There's a large blue card attached to the top, which he steps up to and plucks off. As he reads from it, the messages inside flash across the video feed:]
- Shinji Ikari, you're not being true to yourself.
- There's something you've been hiding from everyone around you.
- But it's all right: we understand, and we want to help you.
- This should allow you get in touch with your inner desires.
- Your new life starts now! And don't forget to bring your friends!
- Brought to you by your sponsor: Made Fur You Incorporated.
[All of the sudden, the cardboard box falls to pieces, revealing a bunch of smaller boxes, each with preview pictures and labels stamped on the front. Kaworu: Arctic Fox Costume tumbles on top of Shinji: Azure Moth Costume, and both of those bounce around Asuka: Brown Cow Costume. There are additional costumes for members of the Heron crew, even.]
Oh, come on. I've been waiting more than a year for a sponsor, and this is what I get?
[Shinji sighs to himself, disappointed, and that's when he notices he's already broadcasting to the Fleet's network. God damn it.]
H-Hey! I don't want any of this stuff! Seriously! How do I send it back?

I don't know what the point of all this is, but it's yours if you want it. [More of a mumble:] I just hope I can get a different sponsor somehow...
no subject
[ She tucks the box under one arm. ]
So can you explain to me this 'sponsor' thing? Why is everyone suddenly getting all these deliveries? I recall that Fenris mentioned getting his treasure trove of trashy tracts from one.
no subject
[Shinji rubs at the back of his neck, all nervous energy.]
I don't know all that much about the sponsors. The Fleet probably has some advertising agreement with different companies and corporations and whatever. They'll send free stuff to people at random--although, yeah, it's been happening way more frequently lately. It's all about showing off their stuff, I guess. To the audience. The one that's watching us right now.
[It's still very weird to think about, when he stops think about it.]
I was hoping for a free telescope.
no subject
[ A box of shit supposedly sent from their 'fans.' ]
To look at the stars?
no subject
[If he had been dead all along, that would make a heck of a lot of sense. Anyway,]
Yeah, I really like the stars. They're not the stars I grew up with, I know that, but... they give me the same feelings.
no subject
[ Thedas is enough of a shithole that they didn't generally need to invent eternal torment. ]
No, I understand. The stars were important to me, we used them to navigate.
