Who: Victor Nikiforov and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva's Hospitality Deck (common area)
When: Shortly after he wakes up and has had time to explore a bit, so sometime in the middle of the "day"

[The video shows a man wearing a black T-shirt and coat. He is smiling and seems to be happy and cheerful. He has the strap of a sports bag over his shoulder. One hand is to his face, a finger touching his lips.

Despite having just woken up in the middle of space with no idea how he got here, he seems completely at ease.]

I wish someone had told me I was going to be on television today. Honestly, I'm grateful that you took me on my way home from practice because it means I have my skates, but I would have dressed up for the occasion had I known. A nice suit perhaps? At least a decent sweater. [He hand moves down to grip the sports bag's strap.]

I could look so much better given a little bit of notice. [Then he winks, and it's not clear if that's meant for anyone who is receiving this message, the much bigger audience they're told exists, or just because he likes winking.

Then, after a moment, he gets to the true purpose of this message.]

Oh, and if anyone has seen Yuuri Katsuki please let me know. He's Japanese, about 173 centimeters in height, has black hair and brown eyes, and wears glasses. Let him know that Victor is looking for him if you see him, hm?

If you believe the audience is actually there. Some people believe that's just the lie Atroma tells everyone.

Ah, that would be a sneaky way to control us.

[sonofgold]

It would be- but the problem is, I can't figure out what ELSE they'd have us here for. The thing that makes me hesitate about the show is the fact that I've been here for more than a year, and I know others who have been here even longer. I rather feel like the audience would have gotten bored of us by now, but we're still here.

I have been in the public eye since I was a young teenager. I do everything I can to prevent my audience from growing bored. As long as there is something they don't expect, they'll come back for more.

[Al rubs his chin.]

That's true- I hadn't thought of it that way. Considering we're always on the move and always finding problems to solve and people to help... it's enough variety. Admittedly, we don't have reality shows or even television in general where I come from, so this is unfamiliar territory for me.

Oh, is that because you're from the past?
