[001] Take me to your Cinnabon

[beetleboyblue]

[video clicks on to show a friendly-looking teenager smiling at the camera]...I have to say, when I signed on for this thing, I kind of expected to see some kind of soulless ship cabin that I'd have to put posters all over or something. Not, you know. My bedroom. Not that I'm complaining or anything! I like having my bedroom, and not having

Got a thing for cinnamon rolls, huh?

[beetleboyblue]

[Oh, hi, you heard that, huh? Someone's blushing a little.]

Well, uh--kind of. I guess. You know, cinnamon-sugary goodness, and really, who doesn't like them, right?

[notarrowette]

[Oh, blushing. That's adorable.]

Excellent point. They're a little too sweet for me sometimes, and I always wind up needing a nap after eating one, but hey. Maybe if you ask really nicely, the kitchen staff will make them some time.

I'm Cissie.

[beetleboyblue]

[He can't help it. He's awkward.]

I may have to. Or there will be a mutiny.

Nice to meet you--I'm Jaime... which... you already heard.

[peektuttut]

[JAIME?! moment is silent and unaired. Sorry bro. :c] If the Admiral wills it, more like.

[beetleboyblue]

[Long moment of staaaaaaaaaaaaare.]

...Well, I hope he does. Will it, I mean. Man does not live by healthy food alone, and sugar is a necessary part of nutrition.

Well, okay. Some sugar. Maybe not that much.

[peektuttut]

And cinnabons fall under 'not that much?'

[beetleboyblue]

Well, they have more sugar than an apple, but less than liquid candy, right?

Audio. Curse this modern technology!

[momunculus]

I see that your friend has a thing for sweets. [It's the voice of an older woman, and she sounds amused, but not malicious]

[video]

[beetleboyblue]

Friend? ...Oh, that. Yeah. He kind of does, and he has a thing for the specific crapload of sugar and cinnamon that you get from fast food breakfast places. I guess there are worse thing, though--it could be liquid candy.

...

No, that was not a suggestion.

[audio]

[momunculus]

[fast food wat :| she's going to ignore that bit of slang for now]

Oh, it can always get worse. Still, I'm surprised you have someone with you. From what I've seen most wardens usually come in by themselves.

[video]

[beetleboyblue]

Well, he's... kind of a computer... thing. Maybe he doesn't count?

...

That's not what I meant. Of course you count.

[batmanschmatman]

Have you been outside of your room, yet? Because some posters might help spruce up the rest of the place.

[beetleboyblue]

...Not yet. I was thinking about trying for a food run soon, though. Is it bad out there? I can probably find some of my little sister's "art" around here if I look...

[batmanschmatman]

It's usually pretty Spartan. It looks a little more dilapidated than usual, but the general consensus is that things will go back to normal sooner rather than later.

[beetleboyblue]

Huh. [And now he's checking things out outside his room. Why, yes. It is seriously sketchy.] ...Wow. You said it's not usually like this, right?

[sixthanimorph]

Good grief. You sound like an alien I used to know.

[beetleboyblue]

...Alien?

[sixthanimorph]

Yeah, long story, but he was kind of crazy about Cinnabon. And when I say 'kind of' crazy, I mean 'can't-take-him-to-the-mall-'cuz-he'll-go-nuts' crazy.

[beetleboyblue]

[OOC: You know, it actually hadn't occurred to me how very Yeerk-like Jaime and Khaji Da would seem to the Animorph crew.]

[He laughs] That must have been pretty... special. What, do they not have cinnamon rolls in space? [No, really, don't they? What gives, aliens?]
