Mingling with the Fishes

[save_the_souls]

Who: SS Blue Fish and Anyone visiting!
Broadcast: MAYBE???
Action: SS. Blue Fish!
When: After the Shuffle to...idk whenever

[Welcome new crew and visitors to the SS Blue Fish! There's been some additions to the crew, some grievous losses and some activity as they prepare these finale days to leave the planet of Mor. Don't mind the two cats and large amounts of meat being stored. Since Blue Fish lacks a pilot, the ship can still be found docked in Mor's volcano until they leave the planet for anyone who wants to drop by for a visit!]

[In other words, get in here and mingle!]

How about tomorrow? It'll give me today to learn the ship and the crew. And then croissants tomorrow. Are they a favorite of yours?

[dancingmd]

That would be perfect!

My ... friend at home and I usually have breakfast together every morning. Coffee and croissants.

[destinyembrace]

[No wonder they meant so much to her, then. A reminder of home...

She smiles sadly, suddenly feeling a bout of homesickness.]

Those times with friends are important. I'll do my best to make good croissants, then. Have you been on the ship long?

[dancingmd]

Only about a month. Sokka and Allen have both been here much longer than that though.

[destinyembrace]

Not too long then... [But still long enough to miss home.] I'm almost afraid to ask how long they've been here.

[dancingmd]

About six months. Atroma appears to be rather arbitrary about how long people stay here though.

[destinyembrace]

It seems like it, considering the varying lengths people have been here already. Is there any reason for it? The different times of stay, I mean.

[dancingmd]

I have no idea. Perhaps it has to do with the popularity of certain people with the audience?

[destinyembrace]

[Oh yeah. Reality TV show.]

That's just creepy, being at the whims of people you've never met.

[dancingmd]

I know. I try not to think about it too much, but it's difficult sometimes. They do their best to remind us with our paychecks and sponsor drops.

[destinyembrace]

At least it's a paid gig, I guess. [Idly wondering what the going rate was, but not enough to voice the question. Instead, she asks about the other thing the doctor mentioned.] Sponsor drops, though?

[dancingmd]

There are companies who I suppose finance and sponsor the show? I don't completely understand how this all operates behind the scenes still. But these companies occasionally leave individuals or crews packages, usually to show their approval of what we're doing in hopes that we'll keep it up and keep the audience entertained.

Which reminds me, you might want to steer clear of our coffee for a while. Some of it still tastes like bananas.

[destinyembrace]

Oh, I see. Huh. I'll have to keep that in mind. Free stuff isn't usually so bad...

[Or maybe it is.]

...Don't tell me. Banana-flavor coffee?

[dancingmd]

[She nods and makes a face.]

It's terrible. I have nothing against bananas but they do not belong in coffee.

[destinyembrace]

No, they really don't. That's just gross. Was that from a sponsor?

[dancingmd]

Yeah, Allen said the company's name was "Floot Loops" or something. They dropped it before I got here.

[destinyembrace]

I would hope so with products like that. Eugh. [She's just imagining the taste and it's so bad.] Maybe I'll try to run the coffee through until the taste is gone.

[dancingmd]

Anything you can do with it will be an improvement.

[destinyembrace]

I'll get on that then. Every good crew needs caffeine.

[dancingmd]

I couldn't agree more!
