[A shitty-looking teenager appears on-screen, wearing sunglasses despite the obvious lack of sun in his cabin, dressed in a white tracksuit rather than the standard-issue uniform, smoking a cigarette like he's not even on a space station with maybe limited oxygen supply. He gestures at the camera as if he's already mid-conversation with the audience, amicable and Balkan, just like his accent:]

You miss some shit from back home, right? Whatever you had before whoever-the-fuck ripped it off you. Or, like, maybe some shit you didn't even have before, but you want it now, anyway. What I'm saying is: What're you missing? If your genie or your fairy godmother or whatever came around, what would you ask for?

[ ...This guy. Pietro doesn't bother with video, just clicks on the voice transmission. His own accent is also Balkan, though closer to Albanian if you've got an ear for it. ]

Why, have you got a magic lamp up your sleeve?

[mitsubishis]

I'm curious, sweetheart. Maybe call it market research.

[supersonic]

I am not your sweetheart, and market research would imply you have anything to sell.

[mitsubishis]

Oh, so touchy. You go, girl. Be strong and independent.

Where did you get those clothes?

[ And the cigarette but Haruto doesn't want one of those. He would, however, like to wear something other than this jumpsuit. ]

[mitsubishis]

walmart

[neuralnet]

In space?

[mitsubishis]

why not

but i guess aside from that...

mm. nope. can't really think of anything.
i don't really miss anything from back home just yet.

[mitsubishis]

this question is kind of like your mom

open-ended

i got enough to share if your boyfriend wants to come and find me

[wingstosee]

oh my god? haha.
i don't think i've heard your mom jokes since like, fifth grade?
that one was pretty good though. congratulations.

he's definitely not my boyfriend.
but uh, sure?
i'll let him know.

[dumbstruck]

[ Aha... haha that word. ]

Genie wishes don't really work out that well, so probably nothing. Uhm, but I miss having my old clothing mostly.

[mitsubishis]

Maybe you know some shitty genies. Just saying, baby. You don't have to discriminate.

[dumbstruck]

A really shitty one...

[ That part is muttered, but this next part is actually meant to be heard. ]

Do you know good ones or something? I kind of just thought that part of the question wasn't meant to be serious anyway.

[mitsubishis]

Rubbed a lotta things, but never a magic lamp.

[How serious can Kavinsky be, really?]

[oh man this is a fucking post. thanks, she hates it.

not even for content reasons, the question is totally fine, just, the everything else]

You know dwelling just makes it more unpleasant.

[mitsubishis]

no i don't know actually

[bu773rfly]

[aight]

Decent food.

[ in direct contrast to that mess, this shitty teenager is perfectly poised when he answers with video; sitting upright, his fingers laced together and his chin resting atop them, smile pleasant but utterly bland. ]

Considering you clearly have some means by which to acquire these things, is this a hypothetical question, or are you looking to rope people into bartering?

[mitsubishis]

Hey, if somebody wants to barter, I'm open to it. Speaking for myself, I was dying for some smokes when my ass landed here, you know?

[uragiru]

How fortuitous that you were able to procure them for yourself, then.

[ it doesn't seem like he's being sarcastic or passive aggressive. but either he must be, or he's just that genuine, because nobody else smiles that much. ]

But then I have to wonder, what would anyone on this station be able to offer you in payment? The rest of us are without our personal effects, after all.

[ryuji]

[Immediately takes note of a few things going on here- how he has things that he shouldn't, and the username that he's toting- thief. Huh.]

What's with the tacky ass jumpsuit?

And hey, do you think it's dangerous to be smokin in here? Like... no goddamn clue how air filtration works in here, but I can't imagine it's good for anyone to be rebreathing that stuff in

[mitsubishis]

do you have something against nike activewear

don't worry man i can get you some pampers pullups

are you gonna go tell mommy

[ryuji]

Not really, I'm just more of an adidas guy myself

Shit, man, 20 seconds of texting me and you're already calling me baby

Get to know a dude first

I mean, do whatever you wanna, I'm not about to get close with anyone in a position of authority here anyway. But if the place blows up cause of your dumb ass, I'm gonna haunt you for all eternity
