Who: Clay Terran and You
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: On the Vanquish
When: Now!

[Looks like Clay's in the cargo bay, if the equipment around him says anything. He's sitting on the floor with a crate behind him, a big smile on his face once the feed comes on.]

Hey everyone! [He waves for the camera] How's everyone doing? I know these rumors are, uh... a bit embarrassing, but I know they're all just lies! If you say they're not true, then hey, they're not! In fact, I appreciate you all the more for being able to put up with them like this! I mean, this is space, not high school...

Anyway! The real reason why I got on here. [He holds up a book that was sitting at his side, a book on beginner's astronomy.] There's a small group of us who're looking to open up a school on the Iskaulit, and I'm going to be the astronomy teacher. I encourage everyone, young and old, to take the class; I know some of you haven't even heard of space before coming here, and I'd love to teach you more about it!

What I'd like to know is: If you're interested in taking it, what kind of things do you want to hear about the most? Is there anything about space life that puzzles you? I'd like a good starting point on this, and that'll really help me out a lot! I'll be covering everything, from the basics to something more advanced, so let me know what level you consider yourself, too. I don't want to go over how planets orbit the sun if you're way beyond knowing that!

If you've got any other questions, let me or my assistant, Apollo Justice, know!

[Yes, Apollo, you're his assistant now. No, you don't get to say no.]

Oh, and one other thing! [He gestures to the crate behind him] I got a shipment of, uh... play-doh, recently? I don't need any of it, so anyone want it? I'll gladly share!

[With that, Clay gives another wave, then turns off the feed.

What he doesn't know is that shortly after this, rumors of his own start to appear.]

Clay claims he's human, but he was actually made from clay back on his home world.
Clay recently proposed to space.
Clay's first girlfriend turned into the moon.
Clay's hair isn't natural; not only is it gelled, but it's also white! He's just so ashamed of it he dyes it black.

Professor Terran....I like the sound of that.

[Sounds all official and smart.]

Also check your screen, honey. You got rumours.

[Oh, that first part makes him feel happy. His cheeks flush a little as a result, and he gives a big smile.]

I like it too! It's -

[... But wait. What?]

Ugh, are you kidding me? [Might as well check...

...]

Those are stupid.

[Thankfully none of them are about how him and Allen get it on in bed or anything like Allen's rumors.]

[He makes an amused sound]

Yeah, they are.

If anyone asks, I can definitely confirm the last one's rubbish. [I mean Clay only admires and touches Allen's white hair like ALL the time]

[You know, Sokka's largely been ignoring those rumours but there's one there that he really can't ignore.]

I think you got one of mine. The moon one.

Really, if they're gonna do this they might as well do it properly. This is just shoddy.

Wait, that's...?

[That's an actually true one? Just not his?

Damn...]

That's, um... That's rough.

....Yep. That seems to be the popular response to that one.

So... [ Stefan tilts his head, almost amused. ] Who was the lucky planet?

[Clay squints a little bit at that. Bruh...]

I mean. Space is more than just a planet.

Yeah, but you can't just propose to all of space. That's just not realistic.

[As opposed to one lonely planet??]

If it's true, don't be ashamed of your hair. You can join our family.

[Sup, Allen?]

Oh.

Sorry to hear that.

So, wait, how DOES one propose to space?

I don't even know. How would you get an answer?

[Not that Natasha has any use for play-doh, but she does come down to check out the haul. Why not, right? Might as well have a look at it.]

Any takers for this? Suppose if no one wants to take it for arts and crafts, we might be able to sell it next port.

[Clay's still where he was when he first posted, and he keeps checking said post with an annoyed frown. Ugh, everyone keeps responding to the rumors and not his actual question.]

Mm, nah. Not yet. [He lowers the device to look back at the crate] It's probably not gonna sell for much, I bet it's pretty cheap quality stuff. But still, there's like forty of those things in there.

if allen didn't exist i would think the second one seems pretty legit honestly

[ Well, this is interesting. Luna smiles at Clay and offers him a quick but polite bow before she begins speaking. ]

A school? I think that would be a lovely idea. Education is a wonderful thing, and especially so about our current surroundings. One cannot learn enough.

[Oh my god, finally! Someone addresses what he posted about! He gives a big smile because of it - She looks like one of those formal types, judging by the little bow.]

I agree completely! Some people are brought out here without knowing a thing about space travel, so I want to help people learn about what's going on here and how to improve their lives!

What's play-dough? Do you play with it then eat it?

[Vash no.]

[Vash no.]

Uh... no. You just play with it, that's it.

I mean, I guess it's non-toxic? But this is fleet brand, so you never know...

I'm here to assist but also ready to expose the truth--!!

Because seriously, how could anyone think you dye? It'd take forever with your head!

Exactly! It just isn't-

Hey.
