Who: Arthur and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: Red Fish / on the Iskaulit
When: Now!

a ) video broadcast / action on the Red Fish

[Arthur's sitting at the kitchen table, dressed to the nines, his hair slicked back as usual. He smiles enthusiastically, his fingers tapping against the table as if he can barely control himself.]

Another year older, another year wiser. I'm 28 today. It's also been about a year since I first arrived here. So much has changed for me since then. I'm surprised how thankful I am for things. For my girlfriend, for my friends. That nothing worse than a shot through the hand happened during that battle.

It makes me wonder about the people back home. Do you think they know we're gone? Do they miss us?

[Probably not, he thinks. He aims the camera toward a newly iced cake, vanilla frosting on vanilla cake.]

I actually bought some ingredients for cake before we set off, if anyone wants any? Coffee is available, too. Just hop on over to the Red Fish.

[He grins again, his dimples standing out, unusually smiley today, and turns the camera off.]

b ) action in gym on Iskaulit

[Okay, so training with a punching bag is hard when one of your hands is injured. He's been punching at the bag for so long that his right hand is turning red, but he can barely stop himself. He has so much energy. He's not distressed by it, though. It's great. Everything's great. It's his birthday, and everything is kind of energizing.]

c ) action in meditation rooms on Iskaulit

[He's trying out this meditation thing again, thinking of what Misty told him way back then. He's even twitchier than usual, but he tries breathing in and out slowly, trying to clear his mind. Maybe he's just not good at this.]

[(ooc: Arthur (and Carl if that's still cool) activated the bugging device, so feel free to have your Red Fish characters have an augment glitch, or opt out. Arthur isn't aware of the connection between the device and the glitches, and he has mood boost and hyperactivity today.)]

[welcome to the Red Fish, the ship that always looks ready for Halloween anyway.

while today is a popular Earth holiday, it's also Zhas' birthday, and he has probably mentioned it to everyone on board in an unsubtle way over the last few weeks. there are a hilarious number of jack-o-lanterns around the ship, showing off skull-face carvings of... varying quality. thanks, Syeira!

what's in store on this spooky night? HILARITY, probably.]

What makes a good gift for someone special to you? Is giving two gifts within a couple months of each other too much?

[if the worlds really are watching, they must just be chomping at the bit to find out what's going on aboard this ship full of misfits and sad-sacks! with one crewmate reportedly dead, another recently missing, and now this thing about a hacking device planted in the communications system--what could possibly happen next?

stay tuned, audience!]

Action: A nice stretch of beach.
When: The night of this post.

[It's a party!  Or it's an excuse to enjoy yourself and drink with friends, whatever.  Beach, bonfire, booze, birthday cake, and maybe a beach volleyball game sob. Anyone who knows Nami is invited, but if you just want to wander by and get dragged into the festivities, well hey!  It's a public beach.

In short, it's a mingle log for having one hell of a night.  The ponies are in charge of this party, so you just know it's gonna be festive.]

[ locked to Syeira's friends ]*

This is Arthur Hall. I'm the engineer on the Red Fish crew, and Syeira's part of my crew and a good friend. I know a lot of you care for her, so I was hoping we could do something for her. She hasn't been very happy lately.

[Kind of miserable, actually, but he leaves that alone.]

So I've set up a birthday party for her. It's not really her birthday, but everyone deserves one. It'll be at the Space bar on the Iskaulit tomorrow at six pm.

Basically, I'm asking if you'll attend. I'm sure it will be a good time, and if you can see this request, then I'm sure Syeira would want you there. It's a surprise, though, so don't tell her about it. Thank you.



* [ooc: If you think this includes your character, you're probably right! Go for it! A party log will be put up tomorrow. You don't have to reply to this to come to the party, but feel free.]

Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Red Fish
When: Now

Fleetwide Video Broadcast

[Arthur appears to be in his bunk. It's obvious that he hasn't gelled his hair for once, and he's... a teenager? About fourteen years-old, by the looks of it. His face looks young, less lined.] Uh, hey. I'm Arthur Hall. I'm a little confused... Has anyone seen my mom?

[WAIT NO-] I mean, I don't need my mom. I was just wondering.

[He fidgets throughout the broadcast, more so than older Arthur.] This is really cool, though. Are we really in space? I have a friend who can name all the planets while burping. Not these planets, though. Earth's.

[He hops off his bunk, communicator still trained on his face.] Anyway, tell me what's fun to do here. I'm totally bored.

Red Fish Action

[Arthur can be found first in the bridge. He's pressed up as close to the windows as he can get, looking outside at the planets. He's never been somewhere so big and open. It's kind of amazing. He watches with big, round brown eyes, his hair tossled, his face less closed off.

He can also be found in the kitchen. As fussy as older Arthur is about food, younger Arthur is worse. He's got a bowl of some kind of goo in front of him, and he's staring at it sullenly, his arms crossed on the table and his head dropped on top of them. He leans forward to sniff at it and makes a face.
] Gross.

Who: Arthur
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: Optional; Red fish
When: Now is good

Hey! [Arthur waves at the camera, he's wearing some of his new clothes that are more utilitarian than his usual style (Yes, he keeps blowing his money on clothes. Hush.)] So I have all the preliminary sketches done. If you asked me to draw you something, you should come on over to the Red Fish to see them and tell me if I need to change anything.

I'm also working on a research project with Ms. Carter. If you could answer with some of these preliminary questions I threw together, I'd be most appreciative. Keep in mind that you don't have to answer all of them, especially if they make you uncomfortable, and that these results may be available to anyone on the ship.

attachement: surveypt1.docx

We may have some more questions in the future.

[He picks up and fiddles with a pencil, needing to do something with his hands.]

Has anyone here... lost someone close to them? How do you deal with that, especially if you maybe could have stopped them dying, if you had known something was wrong?

Who: Arthur
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Red fish if you want
When: Today

[Arthur turns on the video, and it appears he's hanging out in his bunk on the Red fish. He holds up a small moleskine notebook, turning the page to the camera and letting it adjust. On the page is a very neat, realistic sketch of a woman's face, delicate with big eyes and long dark hair. He flips it to the next page, where he sketched a man's face, with bigger lips and scruff around his mouth. He takes the notebook away so the camera can focus on his own face.]

Those are just some sketches of people I know. I was thinking maybe I could try and draw things for people. I can even try for some portraits of people from your home, if you'll describe them to me.

[ooc: The drawings are of Ariadne and Eames from Inception. I really like the idea of Arthur sketching people in his notebook, and I imagine his style of art like sin_repent's version. ANYWAY, feel free to have facetwin confusion with the drawings if you'd like.]

[Broadcast]

[A young man with dark, slicked-back hair gives the screen a polite smile.] Hey, so I'm guessing a lot of you have been here for a while, and I was hoping for some tips. Any favorite protein food recipes? [- said with some humor to it. He sighs.] I'd really like to get home as soon as possible, but I'm sure that's a common sentiment.

I was wondering if anyone here has heard of a PASIV device. That's P-A-S-I-V. If you don't instantly recognize the name, you most likely don't know what it is.

Oh, I'm Arthur, by the way. [He gives the camera a quick, flippant salute before turning off the video.]

[Action] (Red Fish)

[Arthur sits in the kitchen, picking at his food for a while. After a few minutes of that, he gives up, taking out his red die and rolling it around thoughtfully across his palm.] Feels real.
