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?

Right. There's that, at least.

[Even if everything else sucks.]

[goldkiss]

What would happen if I went back then? If there are some people here who have been here for a long time, how do they deal with the age difference?

[scanninggaydis]

I haven't been here long enough to say for sure, but from experience, you probably won't age.

[He pauses, makes a slight face.]

Kind of weird. Though a lot of things about this are.

[goldkiss]

Well, then it's a real shame they don't have an ice rink. Imagine all of the training I could do.

[scanninggaydis]

There's a communal ship where there would probably be space to set one up, but I'm not sure where you'd get enough water to maintain it.

[The look on his face is actually slightly contemplative, though he's probably not going to put that much thought into it.]

[goldkiss]

That would be a problem. I'd imagine most of the water is needed for people to drink.

[scanninggaydis]

Although...we do make it planetside once a month. It might not be that hard to buy large volumes of water there. Depending on the planet.

It's a shame you missed the one where everything was underwater. It probably wouldn't have been too hard to make a deal there.

[Okay he's putting a little thought into it.]
