[The feed bounces as Hope leaps to his feet onto the couch next to the guide which simultaneously turns it on. Hope barely notices or cares about his new audience, he's more concerned with the source of the reddish glow that seems to highlight his terrified face from below.]

Guys, the floor is LAVA!!

[Hope is sure you already know this, but he's ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on as the guide falls to the floor. For a good while all you see are is a familiar orange and yellow shirt, a green bandanna, and green pants lying in a heap on the floor. Eventually however, you'll see a lump start to move in the shirt, slowly making it's way to the neck of said shirt ( Read more... )

[The Guide jiggles a bit as the video feed begins; once it settles, Rebecca greets everybody with a nod.]

Magnets? Okay, so my first weird thing here isn't that bad, but...

[She turns a bit, as if trying to put the Guide behind herself. After a moment of too many hands grabbing at the Guide, she sets it down and turns her back to it ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on to show Hope sitting in a store across the counter from a rather grim looking green-skinned alien with a thick black handlebar mustache. The alien is counting up Hope's credits while Hope waits for him, clearly very impatient.]

Come on! That's the ninth time you've counted them! Can I please just see it already?

[After a ( Read more... )

[For once in the greek tragedy that is Hope's life, he turns on the video feed on purpose. His face bears a fairly solemn expression. He takes a deep breath before speaking.]

Uh.... hey. A lot of you know this already but... my name's Hope Estheim, and I've been on this ship for over a year. I've made a lot of friends here, and I've even found a ( Read more... )

[the feed opens up to a very confused looking Xion, looking at her Guide with concern. as she speaks, she sort of checks herself out: she's wearing an unfamiliar top, one that is slightly too big for her.]

Did... something happen this last week? It's like the past few days didn't even happen... I can't remember anything. Not even a little bit. ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on to show Hope and Xion, standing in their room and looking lovingly into each others eyes. For those who know the couple, there’s nothing strange about this in itself except that both of them are much taller, especially Hope. Making this awkward is that both of them are still wearing the same clothes they were wearing before the ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on as the guide is dropped on the floor. You see Hope dressed in a cute little waiter outfit putting a glass of iced tea on the table for a purple skinned alien woman. Aside from the purple skin, the only feature of this creature that isn't human is the fact that instead of two arms, she has many many tentacles. Oh yes, and she's ( Read more... )

Do you think next month I can get a job where I can put a bag over my head and just hide in my room all month? That'd be great.

[A sigh]

After this new job, I'm starting to think my guide hates me.

[Filtered away from Xion]Hey, everyone? I feel kind of guilty about Xion being the only one in our room who cooks, so I want to learn how so we can ( Read more... )

[The feed comes on to show Hope with his pet joey Kai curled up in his lap, one hand absently scratching the little guy behind the ear. He's trying to appear casual and relaxed, but it's hard to ignore the solemn look in his eyes.]Um... hey. I kind of have a question. I kind of lost track of how many parks and gardens this ship has, and there seems ( Read more... )
