So this universe-hopping thing is old hat, huh? I'm still pretty new to it- I've heard plenty of stories from my friends who have been in the Stargate program for a long time, though. Hostile aliens sounds like such a cliche, but it's been proven true.

[feathery]

Probably better than the aliens that barreled ass-first into trolling me and my friends. They were pretty lame. And murderous, but mostly lame. [God does Davesprite hate trolls.]

But yeah, I was part of a kidnapping program before this. Only we were supposed to save the multiverse instead of starring in a reality TV show.

[forsometimenow]

I don't know what would be worse, honestly- annoying ones or outright hostile ones. At least the hostile ones give you a good reason to fight back.

[She nods.]

Wow, the multiverse... no pressure, huh?

[feathery]

Right.

[He shrugs.]

After we got everything wrapped up there, the gods were supposed to send us back to our own universes if we decided not to stick around. Only I guess something went wrong and I ended up here with one of my friends.

[forsometimenow]

That sounds awful. Not only did you not get to go home, but you got sent to a place complete with protein cubes and a drama-hungry audience.

[feathery]

[He laughs, just a short snort of amusement, when she puts it like that.]

Yeah, which is a unique lameness in of itself. I at least want to see the assholes in charge of my ratings. Get a feel for their favoritism, you know.

[forsometimenow]

Oh, you'll get to hear from Atroma soon enough. They never answer back, but they make their presence known. Yelling at them never does any good, but sometimes I send angry thoughts at them anyway. It makes me feel better.

[feathery]

Has someone at least found out if they put cameras in the bathrooms. 'Cause creepy, if so.

[forsometimenow]

I don't get that "someone's watching me" feeling, so I'm going to say no. I'd hope that wouldn't go THAT far.

[feathery]

Well, how about now. I haven't had any remarkable "they're watching you fuck up right now" vibes yet, but considering the confetti welcome I got, seems like they gotta have that shit floating around somewhere.

[Seriously, how do these cameras even work.]

[forsometimenow]

The kitchen seems more reasonable- plenty of conversations take place there, after all. And they can just edit out the boring parts, so... everyone wins.

[feathery]

Ugh.

[He ends up making a face. Very mature, really.]

No, I'm definitely not the one winning there, so I hereby revoke all listening rights to the shit I say. You hear that, Big Brother? [Announced to the most accessible wall.] You can send me the fuck home now. This is valuable copyrighted material. Your ass is about to get sued.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer covers her mouth to try and stifle a laugh at that.]

Wouldn't that be nice? Being able to just go home... get voted off the proverbial island if we were the worst-rated or something. I definitely wouldn't be sorry to leave.

[feathery]

Can we instate this as a real policy. Even if outer space comes off as less democracy and more dictatorship. I bet they're communists, too.

[He'll have you know he is ALL ABOUT capitalism, aight.]

[forsometimenow]

We can ask Atroma for it, but I'm not sure they'd deliver. The people running the show do make weekly broadcasts, but I have never seen them actually respond. And let's be real- everyone would then be in competition to be the worst. Could get messy.

[feathery]

Some people love a train wreck. The real secret to being the worst is making yourself so boring even the universe thinks maybe it ought to off you.

[Pause.]

Ok, that turned out more morbid than I meant it to be.

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer smirks.]

It makes sense, though- either be boring or be purposefully incompetent so the audience doesn't want to deal with watching you.
