Video; Who's gonna be your dream?

[onlyanapple]

Who: Crowley and You!!!
Broadcast: Network wide
Action: Goldstone
When: Right now!

[The feed opens to Crowley, looking exceptionally smug with himself. That is the first sign that he's been up to something, honestly. He's spent the vast majority of the last few weeks bouncing between being absolutely plastered and working on a project.]

Hello people. Some of you might have noticed we have an interesting selection of games on our lovely network [he clicks a button and oh look, it's an annoying popup on your screen. Did the network have popups before? Doesn't matter, it does now] you have me to thank for that. I appreciate thanks in alcohol and gaudy jewellery for Felix.

Anyway, I decided to create a special little new something for you people. Seen as there's all sorts of relationship drama going on in the Fleet, I thought something like this might purge your systems of it a little bit. Worth a shot, right?

[Another annoying popup, this one announcing a game called Space Sweeties - and those from a certain point in time might recognise it as one of those ridiculous text dating simulator games. There's a selection of different beings, male, female and other - all prime for your date-sona to romance them in their space station. It's ridiculous and tacky as hell- multiple secret endings and complex puzzles galore. Like all of the games Crowley bring to the network, it's a massive time sink.

This is what happens when Allen leaves. Crowley does questionable things.]

You're welcome! Enjoy yourselves. I'm curious to see who will manage to get the good end for Raynelex the Third from the planet Betamax. Do let me know if you find it.

[[ooc: Feel free to make up ANY characters within the game, be creative, have fun!]]

Huh...

[Fie pops on to the comm actually looking interested.]

[onlyanapple]

Got your eye on anyone yet, Bane of My Wednesdays?

[sylphid]

I'm just beginning now. I like the nickname, though.

[She makes a hmm sound when it asks for her name on the game.]

Guess I'll be Vivi.

[Naming the character after a member of the gardening club at school. Poor Fie... and Vivi.]

[onlyanapple]

Somehow, I thought you might.

Great. Do enjoy romancing your whatever you decide.

[noprophecies]

[. . . what the hell did she just open]

This is a game?

voice;

[onlyanapple]

[BEAUTY, that's what.]

It most certainly is! I'm filling in a hole. We clearly were missing something like this in our lives.

voice;

[noprophecies]

We were? Says who?

voice;

[onlyanapple]

Says me. I'm good at knowing what the people want. Got my finger on the pulse of the whole Fleet.

[ahappylie]

[Guess who has an annoying pig and just woke up from a month-long coma?

THIS GUY

He is still groggy af but zeroed in on that "relationship drama" bit quite quickly.]

Did I miss the good gossip again? That's really unfair.

[onlyanapple]

[OH GOD NO HE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD. ]

There's always good gossip going about. Someone got married too, which was less drama, but I'm sure there's some somewhere there if we look really hard enough.

[ahappylie]

[Give him a few more months, jeez. Hold your horses.]

Aw, I missed a wedding? Who got married?

[onlyanapple]

I don't know them. Uh Luna-whatshername and the guy with the anime hair.

[He says to someone with anime hair. ]

[darksmokerising]

I see you've been busy.

[onlyanapple]

But of course. I feel like it's a right and proper use of my time.

Are you creating a Spacesona?

[darksmokerising]

Well, there could be worse uses of your time, so bravo.

[There's a pause.]

Oh. Um...I'm not sure about that.

[onlyanapple]

I assure you, I will find those worse uses eventually.

[He smiles and leans into the screen a bit. ]

Come on, it'll be fun~

action of course

[lord_wizard]

[Felix is sitting nearby but unobtrusively out of frame, thank you very much]

I'm not sure how I feel about you associating me with this nonsense. Unless people actually are grateful. [But he doubts it. That's usually Beside The Point]

[Of course the popup is also on his communicator, and in the process of trying to close the damned thing he opened up it by accident and is now clicking around the persona creation screen in idle curiosity that he is pretending isn't curiosity.]

How does this qualify as a game?

of course of course

[onlyanapple]

[Crowley turns his head in Felix's direction, smirk crossing his face/ ]

Well, of you don't want any gaudy jewellery I can always ask for something else~

[You love it, really, Felix. Create your Spacesona, Felix. Be free~ ]

Because people can play it and waste time on it. I mean, it's more entertaining than the Flappy Marsiva.

[lord_wizard]

I didn't say that, though I think you had the only other possibility covered with alcohol. Saints be damned if I let anyone but me buy me new shoes

[He's still...clicking though, completely undeterred by his own skepticism. What about blue hair? How exotic. Wait, no, that reminds him of Yuan. What else is there?]

I never play your games. Shouldn't games have...rules? Or a test of skill?

[He still doesn't get it but maybe that's because he's stuck on the paper doll stage of this which is...actually pretty amusing. Shut up.]

[pain_train]

[Okay, a game, she can dig this. It's always good to try new things. But...]

...there's relationship drama going on in the fleet? You mean like... like in vids? What's happening? Is there a place to vote?

video

[onlyanapple]

Oh, I've missed you~ I'll have to share all my gossipy videos with you. There's been some delightful pining going on.

video

[pain_train]

Aw, I missed you too, Crowley! [Said with utter sincerity.] I want to know all the gossip!

...gossip's not a bad thing, right?

[pb_n_jocular]

THIS IS AMAZING! Goddess, I love this so much.

[She's been busy on planet, but then she saw this and disappeared for several hours.] So far I gotta say I like Denna Moora's bad end best. Am I a bad person for that? Eh, I don't care either way. It's awesome.

[onlyanapple]

Why, thank you. So glad someone can appreciate my artistry here.

[He flashes her a grin.]

Not at all, different strokes for different folks and all. We all have something here that appeals to us.

[pb_n_jocular]

People complain about everything, I wouldn't take it too seriously if you're getting flak.

But come on, you gotta tell me; who's your favorite?
