When: Today!

Well, now, this is real nice, isn't it? [Judging by the dry tone of Sam's voice, it isn't.] Not that I was doing anything important back home, but it sure as hell beats being scooped up and used to boost ratings on some sort of intergalactic Big Brother. [And, muttered to himself:] I don't even wanna know what happens if you get voted off.

[Back in a normal voice:] So, I'm Sam. Earth, twenty-first century. Guess I'm stuck here for a few days, huh? On the totally not creepy uninhabited giant spaceship. Yeah, I can see the ratings skyrocketing already. This sure better not be some kinda horror show, 'cause I know the black guy's always the first person to get killed by the out of control robots.

-nah, just kidding, they never even have black guys in space to begin with, I'm safe.

[sam what r u even on about]

Also, this food sucks big-time. Come on, can't they feed TV stars better than this? Why couldn't I get trapped on Food Network?

Comments

[wingedman]

...vanish.

[Yeah, that doesn't sound too appealing.]

Oh, man, actual food. I get the feeling I'll be about ready to kill for a carrot after about a week of this junk. Something to actually chew on, anyway.

[alwayscomeback]

Vanish. The current thought it that they go home, but given that going home is apparently our prize for winning... yeah.

[One of these two things has to be a lie. ]

I hear you. Youu just need to suffer it a little while longer, then you can eat whatever you like- assuming you find a place that does it. The bars do food, too, and I thiiiiink Jarvis is opening up a restaurant.

[wingedman]

So you win and go home, you lose and go home, or you're just killed and tossed out into the vacuum of space either way.

[Sam's betting on option three.]

Bars? Restaurants? Where do you guys keep all these things, on the other ships?

[alwayscomeback]

I haven't seen any of that third option yet, kinda hoping it's not that one. I mean, I went home and people I know were here were there, but who knows what that proves when time's so weird here.

[He brightens at this though. ]

Oh! That's on the Iskaulit. You'll see a weird bug-like ship following us? We got it after a...looong lot of strange things and started putting establishments on there. I'm helping build a forge, myself. But there's gardens, a library, a temple- all kinds of things.

[wingedman]

So it's kinda the common area for everyone on all the ships. And you guys just take a shuttle there to hang out or...whatever?

[Sam likes the thought of a library - and gardens, for that matter. Anything to make outer space more livable.]

[alwayscomeback]

Pretty much, yeah. It makes life a little less boring, I guess? Lets people in different ships socialise when we're nowhere near a star system. Well worth a visit, I would recommend!
