Who: Alex Russo and you lucky people
Broadcast: Network - unfiltered
Action: Hospitality Deck
When: March 22nd

[Early in the evening, a teenage girl's supremely pissed-off face appears in the sightline of the camera, close enough to screw with the focus. She's got a red-lipsticked scowl, and an expression that says she's just damn tired of this.]

I swear the next "Welcome to purgatory, you're in for life, enjoy your stay" spiel I hear? Someone's getting a kick in the gut. All I want's a taco and the first flight back to New York. Otherwise, don't even bother.

[You can find her on the Hospitality Deck for some time afterwards, looking about as pleased as a wet cat. She's twirling around a wand in one hand, shuffling her brain for any kind of spell that could get her out of here. But none of the likely contenders are working, and as spell after spell fizzles and dies, her muttering is getting louder and more angry.]

[You don't want helpful. Sure, he can do that. After five years in the castle, it's a responsibility he's happy to ignore.]

Well. Look what the cat dragged in. [Said with a wry smile, though]

[delincuente]

[Her eyes widen, lighting up just a bit.]

Felix?!

[lord_wizard]

[Seeing that reaction only makes his smile widen.]

I see your memory is as firmly in place as your priorities.

[delincuente]

Yeah, any reason it shouldn't be?

[Somehow she doesn't really like the sound of that. Another place that has the power to wipe your mind? Not cool in the slightest, though the shock factor at things like this faded away years ago.]

And when did you even get here? Like, I'm pretty sure I just saw you in the castle.

[lord_wizard]

I have been here about a month. The last I saw you was over a year ago.

[Another newcomer! Though admittedly, she didn't sound quite as happy as the dragon guy. Kairi had been watching one of the televisions set up, trying to get a feel of the place and what was out there. Despite how angry this person sounded, Kairi couldn't help but get up and see for herself.

Kairi eventually finds where Alex is, though wisely hanging back. She watches her for a moment as she twirls her wand around, seemingly frustrated at whatever it was she was (or wasn't) doing.]

Are you all right?

[Best to lead with that, she supposes. She isn't sure what else to ask, as heck if she knows what Alex is trying to do...]

[delincuente]

[Alex nearly drops the wand at the intruder's voice, and blows out a grumpy sigh in reaction.]

Yeah. Super cool. Swell.

[She draws out the last word, her voice dripping with sarcasm.]

Just trying to find the exit ramp.

[destinyembrace]

[Yep, definitely grumpy. Kairi can't blame her, though.]

There doesn't seem to be one. There's the hall way that goes down to the infirmary, but it just ends there. No door or anything.

[delincuente]

There's not, like, a hangar? An airlock into deep space? Any way off this thing?

[destinyembrace]

[She shakes her head.]

Not that I've been able to find. No one on the other ships knew anything, either.

[ino]

Does a TV show count as purgatory?

[delincuente]

[Ah, yeah. Felix said Ino was here, but he didn't note if she remembered or not. Alex narrows her eyes.]

As an expert connoisseur of reality TV? I'm pretty sure being in the middle of space makes it a possibility.

[ino]

[ Laughs. She sees her and Felix talking, so: ]

I'd say it's an improvement in some ways over the castle, anyways.

[delincuente]

[She can't help but smile in some weird semblance of relief.]

Another refugee. You been here as long as Felix?

[ino]

I've been here about six months now. That seems to have been the "start" of this game.

[forsometimenow]

Sounds like you've been through this before.

[delincuente]

Yeah, a couple times. The fun just never stops.

[forsometimenow]

If there's anything good I can say about that here, at least it will make for some nice drama. Ratings, you know. [That's said with a bit of an eyeroll.]

[delincuente]

[She gives a little sardonic laugh.] Maybe this is punishment for all the Jersey Shore I watched when I was supposed to be at work.

[forsometimenow]

Let's see- being a reality TV junkie and being tossed onto a reality show for other reality junkies to watch? It's a very... meta punishment.

Well well, look what the cat dragged in.

[delincuente]

You're late, Felix already took that line.

[onlyanapple]

Felix is a moment stealer.

You remember our happy little castle home, then?

[delincuente]

What a drama queen. And yeah - every single fantastic second.

[onlyanapple]

He is what he is.

Well, it could be worse. I can't think how, but it probably could.
