first shot [video]
Who: Joel and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Paisley
When: 3/21
[The video is... a little awkward at first, but he's not not really used to using technology of this caliber even if he knows what this shit is and already had an idea before the augment helped. He's in a civilian room, presumably his own at this point.
The man on the video looks suspicious, maybe even angry. He's got an intimidating air about him, as if this is just how he is in day-to-day life. Every word he says sounds almost like it's spit. He is clearly unhappy about the circumstance under which he is here.]
Now, I reckon the people in this "fleet" would know the answer to this question. I'm lookin' for a little girl, about 14, with red hair and an attitude. Her name's Ellie. I'm on the--[he makes a face, like he doesn't think this could all possibly be real.]--the Paisley. If you know where she is, tell me.
[Something in his tone says he hopes she isn't, though.
[He doesn't feel the need to give his name just yet. Instead, he goes to turn the feed off, and it takes him a moment longer than others might need to figure out what he's doing before he manages to get it turned off.]

action
[this is quickly becoming a conversation joel is... almost enjoying.]
action
And bend it in half. Throw a punch?
[ Tay probably can and does, considering it looks like her nose was broken recently... ]
action
[and he crosses his arms. looks like his own onslaught is done, and he's waiting to see if she's got anything else for him.]
action
Finally after a few seconds, she nods shortly, as if to say "Yes, I tentatively approve of you". ]
So you get that trainin for somethin special?
action
[He seems to be on the same page as she is. This is getting easier to achieve by the second.]
action
Must be a hell of a place you're coming from.
action
[But that's as far as he lets that go for now.]
Why'd you learn?
action
[ She's gone further with other people, but he's making her feel terse. ]
action
Sounds like an awful friendly family.
action
Yeah, they're real gems.
action
Well, I guess... If you need me, I'll be in my office.
[that sounds so weird to say and he looks like he is physically struggling with the awkwardness]
action
Yeah, cool. I'll be in the shuttle or the control room, probably. Or, y'know, down planetside. If you need me.
...Welcome to the Paisley.
action
[okay so maybe this girl being his captain won't be so horrible. he'll ignore any orders he doesn't like, and see where they end up.
[for now he gives her a nod in acknowledgement, and steps back from the door and back into the room fully.]
