Who: Adam Young
Broadcast: Fleet wide (video post)
Action: Marsiva
When: Today

[The face that appears on screen belongs to a very attractive young man. He grins, as if he hasn't a care in the world, and something about that smile is irredeemably charming.

When he speaks, he has a gentle English accent.]

This is a reality programme then? Do we have a theme song, do you think? Do we get nicknames based on our personalities?

Is one of us the bitchy one? Or the cute one? Or the bad boy?

[He shifts a bit. The smile takes on a more mischievous edge and it seems to bring out dimples in his cheeks. His movement also allows the viewer to see his augment, which is very visible and takes up all of the space behind his ear. Whatever is in his head, they needed a lot of hardware to control it.]

If so, I want to the cute-but-lazy-one-with-dimples. Is that one already taken?

[He looks around, taking in what's around him, and for a moment, something a little dangerous seems to appear in him, though it's just the tail hint of it resting on the edge of his face and tone.]

I have to say, if you're expecting me to be impressed by the fact that reality can be altered so much that I'm here and not home, whoever is behind this has a lot of catching up to do.

[And then whatever that dangerous edge was, it's gone.]

You'll have to contest with my dog, who seems to be quite fond of making my shoes disappear.

Though now I have worry about him, thank you very much. Dog's rubbish without me around to take care of him.

[Now he's rambling, but at least he seems comfortable while doing it.]

Right. Well, I should sign off, as they say. This has been Adam Young, aka The-Cute-But-Lazy-One-With-Dimples.

[And to prove the title is well earned he smiles, flashing those before-mentioned dimples and his perfectly white teeth, before switching off the video.]

How tired is someone that they think they need that much sugar on top of that much caffeine?

[He shrugs]

Not sure. That was a few systems ago though, where the food generally was really bad. It was mostly just proteins, unidentifiable root vegetables and ostrich meat.

Ostrich meat? That sounds like it would be really tough to eat and hard to catch.

Are most of the systems like that?

They had farms of them. On space stations.

Not all of it...it changes from system to system. This one is more like...Las Vegas?

With casinos and everything? Might have to try my luck then.

That's right. Do you gamble?

Only occasionally and only with things I'm comfortable losing. You?

[Ugh. A careful player. Not even worth trying to cheat]

I like playing poker sometimes.

Well, if you're up for a game... I'm not sure what we even have to bet here.

[He shrugs]

Real food and alcohol seem to be the highest commodities here. Though I don't drink.

Once I have food then. We should play a game.

[...]

Alright.

[Going to have to wonder the ethics in possibly attempting to cheat the clothes off Crowley's kid now for laughs hrrrm....probably wouldn't be likely if he's a careful player anyway. Damn.]

[It's less that Adam is 'careful' about gambling and more about not putting in stakes that will make him manipulate the cards because he's desperate to win. Otherwise, it's cheating. He doesn't say that to Allen though.]

Unless you're fine with IOUs.

[Without missing a beat]

No, I don't do debts. I'm fine with waiting until you have something.

[NO DEBTS EEEEVER AGAIN]

I'll keep you updated for when that happens then.

Alright, let me know.

[Until then he's going to go pester Crowley about this twist of events B| ]

[Adam lets him go too, worried that he's messed something important up but not too worried to fret about it.]
