the pygmalion. . . ONLINE CAPTAIN'S LOG: WEEK (1)

monday (41) survivors It had been three days since you had awoken. The ship was still quiet, except for the low hums of enigmatic machines with no apparent purpose. You awake, like usual, to dim lighting and poor rations. Perhaps being on the ship had grown monotonous — it was, perhaps, amazing how little anything seemed to happen in space, a final frontier of malaise. That monotony is crushed by a voice echoing through the narrow hallways. Reformatting . . . Reformatting . . . Reformatting complete. The Pygmalion is online. Welcome, travelers. Please assemble in the meeting room. Your presence is mandatory. Silence falls once again. A minute or so passes, and the lights around the ship finally brighten, the walls looking more alive and more unfamiliar — as if you must relearn the ship's interior once again. The robots on deck begin to make rounds, nudging and pushing at the ship's passengers to make their way to the meeting room. You hear the doors behind you lock. It seems there is only one path to take. ENTER COMMAND_

What's a morphogenetic field?

[ asks the time traveler. ]

Also, favorite Nicki Minaj verse, go.

[ that's the command, show your skills. ]

[socloverit]

[it's a good thing she's been given an out to answering that first question because she absolutely wasn't going to regardless

any conversation Clover was about to have with anyone else at all is now on hold because she is slamming her hands on the table, standing up, and having the fuck at it

she does the voice changes and everything, who knew her voice could get any higher-pitched?? this has clearly been practiced.]

[parodeity]

Holy shit.

[ dave for one looks delighted? like, he's noticed she didn't answer his other question but he also won't press it.

the second answer was better anyway. ]

Ok, you win best skill ever.

[socloverit]

[look at how thrilled she looks, look at her flipping her hair over her shoulder, jesus christ clover]

There isn't really much of a point to listing anything for anyone else, huh.

[like she's trying to be smug but she's too GENUINELY CHIPPER about all this delight to really manage it]

[parodeity]

There's absolutely no point because every other skill is useless when up against rap on command like that.

[ dave absolutely had at least half a doki there. ]

[socloverit]

[put that doki back where it came from this is a murdergame son]

Hehe! I can't do most of the others quiiiite as well, but what's the point in having a favorite if you haven't got it mastered?

[parodeity]

[ stop rapping at him then! ]

There's basically no point. I mean - my favorite is myself, with maybe like Obama as a tie.

[ not that he knows if obama raps it's just a headcanon dave has about him

ok dave???? ]

And also Snoop Dogg.

[socloverit]

[sorry, hold on a sec]

...Obama, like, the president?

ok last tag before bed this was Important

[parodeity]

Yeah, I mean, IDK if he actually raps or not but it's this headcanon I have about him.

[ kick it barack ]

god bless

[socloverit]

...A headwhat?

[you're losing her]

[parodeity]

Headcanon. Like, ok, "canon" is a thing that is factually true that you know for sure. Like, it's canon Obama became president. And it's canon that like, Aladdin took Jasmine on the best second date ever. A headcanon is a thing that you don't know for sure to be factually true but which you think could be true and kinda just like. Believe? Like, say, headcanoning that Aladdin and Jasmine did something together that didn't happen in the movie. Or Obama being a rapper.

[ ok dave ]
