Who: Gil and OPEN
Broadcast: Video
Action: Blameless
When: Probably today, but like forwarded to take place when it's super late. It's another 3am type broadcast that he doesn't think will reach anyone when it goes up, but is willing to have people respond to when they are awake at a decent time - or not at all. Insomnia!Gil is the worst.


[The video starts with a model of a ship in the forefront. The name Tempest on the side of it is clearly visible. In the background is the engine room to the Blameless, and then a stock of red hair comes into view before Gil's face follows it.]

You know what we need? More model ships. Of the entire Fleet. You know, you could have one of the Iskaulit which is bigger than most of the others. One for the Marsiva but the rule is you only get to play with it once and then never again.

[He grins at the idea.]

The model of the Blameless would be the cutest. I'm sorry to say for the rest of you lot. That's just the facts.

And this one would be the prettiest. [He picks up the Tempest and makes to fly her around in a single motion of his hand.] But she's one of a kind. And mine.

You don't sound biased in your opinion in the slightest.

[ Gil, your dork is showing- and it's absolutely endearing. Even if you are a grown man playing with a toy. ]

[At least this time the response doesn't come in right after Gil broadcasts...more like a few hours later, when Felix wakes up for the day.

Not even actually out of bed yet, sitting up against the wall behind him.]

She does have a really nice design.

[Gil may've noticed that Shiro has been a bit distant the past couple of days since they lost their other captain. But one thing doesn't change, and that's insomnia, also an enemy of his.

So well Gill starts broadcasting at 3am, well... he's there to join him in the engine room, followed by his purple puppy.]

A model ship, huh? I haven't seen one of those in forever. Was that your gift from home?

[mongoosecrow]

Me? Nah, I'm completely objective. I just know beauty when I see it.

Like right now. In this video.

[mongoosecrow]

[Gil still hasn't slept yet and now he probably won't with the image of Felix in bed in his head.]

She's a beauty. I wish I could take you inside of her. She's top of the line luxury and her engine. [He whistles.]

[mongoosecrow]

[Gil welcomes the company, and the puppy. He even bends down to pet the animals, since only a pure stoic person could resist the charms of a purple puppy.]

It was. It's the model of the ship I served on back in Andromeda.

[fantachetic]

Sweet talk like that will get you absolutely everywhere.

Is that what our illustrious captors have gifted you?

[mongoosecrow]

It is. A scale model of home.

Did you get anything?

[fantachetic]

I'm sure it doesn't do her justice. It is a 'her', right? Ships are named after women?

[ There's a pause, and his expression softens ever so slightly. ]

Something I rather expected never to see again.

[mongoosecrow]

Usually, yeah.

Oh-ho? Something good, I hope?

[fantachetic]

It depends entirely upon your viewpoint. To some, it may mean nothing at all- just a bit of fancy jewelry.

[mongoosecrow]

Fancy jewelry isn't something to scoff at.

[fantachetic]

No, I suppose it isn't. In any case, it's not simply a bit of jewelry.

[ Well, it is, but it signifies more than that. ]

It's my birthright.

[padadin]

[Procyon of course welcomes the petting, bumping his head against the hand and wagging his tail like crazy. Meanwhile, Shiro comes closer to take a better look at the model.]

The Tempest, huh? She looks really nice. [He extends his hand.] Can I? I used to build these when I was a kid.

[mongoosecrow]

.... You might need to explain that one to me, beautiful.

[mongoosecrow]

[Gil easily hands over the model.]

Yeah? You know, that does seem like something you'd like to do.

Maybe we really should make a model of the Blameless.

[fantachetic]

Of course- it's probably not a common practice, though it is in Tevinter. It's a symbol of what awaits when you are the first born. It signifies what you're meant to inherit, and being the only child, it was.. quite a lot.

[ He pauses briefly, stuck in thought before he shakes his head and presses onward. ] I lost it back home. Quite a while ago, now.

[mongoosecrow]

Yeah I could see why that's simply not a bit of jewelry.

I'm glad you have it back.

[fantachetic]

I am, too. It is one less thing I have to worry about.

[mongoosecrow]

Though, I'd imagine it weighs heavier than it actually weighs at the same time?

[fantachetic]

[ He lets out a light laugh. ] You wouldn't be wrong.

[mongoosecrow]

I wish I could relate but... the only thing my dad gave me was my last name.

Still, if you need a place to set down your burdens for bit. You know where I am.

[Then he adds, with a grin,] I'll even let you play with my ship.

[fantachetic]

[ He waves a hand dismissively. ] I could bore you to tears with my familial troubles. Best not for now.

[ A judging brow raise. ] Is that a fact? Perhaps you'll have to show me how the professionals do it.

[mongoosecrow]

How the professionals do it is by putting it up in a display like a boring old person.

[fantachetic]

That seems entirely unimaginative.
