driftfleet | Video; Who's gonna be your dream?

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!]]

Yes it is! It's horribly depressing. They could make a Hallmark movie about you.

I was too busy to bother with fun - what is a Hallmark movie?

You can't be too busy for fun.

It's a movie type full of bittersweet tales, usually based on a true story about some person overcoming great odd or some horrible tragedy or whatever.

Of course you can. When you spend most of your time working there is no room for fun in between.

. . . ah. Are they ridiculous movies? They sound that way.

That sounds like a good way to give yourself a nervous breakdown, to be honest.

They are completely ridiculous. Overacted to hell and back.

One must eat and find shelter, you know. These things are not free.

[besides she's had a few nervous breakdowns already, she's used to them]

I am not surprised at all.

No, they're not. But luckily we're in a place where we get paid of literally existing, so.

[Honey, NO. ]

Maybe one day, Atroma will put one on the Network. You never know.

Yes, and when I do have time and do feel up to it, I indulge in "fun". Though it is nothing involving games like these.

[IT'S NORMAL FOR HER OK]

I'd rather they didn't. I have seen enough bad movies.

And when is that? Scheduled fun times once every six months?

Oh come on now, that's another fun thing- watching crappy movies and commenting on them. You're missing out on a blast.

I do not schedule it, I just said when I have time.

Oh - I have done that, with a friend. We would talk about . . . action movies? And romantic ones.

That's even sadder.

Oh, there you go! That counts as a fun thing. You can do that.

Will you stop?

I suppose . . . it is a bit harder to do here.

What's in it for me? Stopping?

I will stop considering setting you on fire.

[delivered in her best deadpan]

You're going to have to do a lot better than fire with a demon, darling.

[it's a good thing she's familiar with other world's demons and whatnot, because otherwise she would've set him on fire right there. She has no good experiences with them back home.

Still, she scowls]

Lightning, then.

[He will consider himself very lucky in that regard. ]

Oooooh, you're going all smite-y, then?

Smite-y? [she tilts her head with a frown] No? Is that not what gods do? They smite.

Mine does. Quite a bit. Though rarely as obviously any more.

That sounds unfortunate.

But no, I don't smite. It is like . . . what is the term? A ta-zer?

Oh, so it's like a sharp jot to say NO and then it's done? Not very threatening, but it's probably effective if you do it enough.

. . . it is enough to take a man to his knees so I would say it is effective, yes.

Note to me: don't get hit by that, then.

My, will it actually work on you?

[she sounds thoughtful, uh oh]

I don't know, but I'd rather not chance it, if it's all the same.
