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.]

[he sounds so dismissive of it, and he raises his hand to rub his temple in the most exasperated dad gesture ever.]

I wouldn't blame anyone who did. It's easy to get distracted, and we're far away from home right now...when I was first brought here, I never even thought it might be possible for any of my friends to be here as well. I've been right, so far.
[Was that an attempt at reassurance? Maybe.]
Video
[ellie does not need to be here]
Video
[There's a hint of frustration evident in her agreement, but she tries not to dwell on that for productivity's sake.]
I'm Shirley, by the way. And you are?

[he's calming down some, at least. it seems like socializing is normal here. that's weird.]

[and pigs flying.]
