[ Amidst the impressive technological marvels and distractions present on the ship, Johnny found it impossible to resist the allure of commandeering the network for a brief moment. While he's no deckhead or with a fancy BD strapped to his head, Johnny at least knows how to work a camera. This is why everyone is getting a good view of the scowling rockerboy as he puffs smoke directly into the camera.

Yeah, he's smoking again already. Don't ask how he got his hands on another e-cigarette. It probably involved a five-finger discount and a lot of schmoozing. Despite being such a complete asshole, Johnny is at least charming.

He's a charming little parasite. ]

Okay, chucklefucks. [ He mutters before taking another drag on his cigarette. Smoke billows from his nose as he exhales, resembling an angry demon/oni graphic on his tank top. ] Let's have a little talk.

Where the fuck are all of you from? Half of y'all look like your average Joe, while others look like wannabe supermodels who just walked off a Jinguji photoshoot.

[ Johnny lets out a chuckle as he brushes some ash off his cigarette. ]

So, who wants to go first? State your name and where the hell you're from.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Welcome to the Hotel California / Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place) / Such a lovely face

un: thelastsamurai

[rebelsamurai]

Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here~

But seriously, wtf are you doing?

[mikoshi]

Answering your question

Did you know I was technically born in Tijuana

[rebelsamurai]

And here I thought I knew everything about you.

You better not be pullin’ my leg here, Vinny.

[mikoshi]

I'm not. Thought about it cause this robot thing wouldn't stop talking to me about tequila.

Audio only;

[justamobster]

Lotta young pretty people here, yeah?

Startin' to think these Edict fellas've got a type.

[rebelsamurai]

The hell are you talking about about? The robo-bartender?

[rebelsamurai]

[He can’t help but smirk a little once he hears the familiar accent. It’s that hat dude from the other day, isn’t it?

It gotta be.]

You mean the Edicts are fond of dick! Have you see how many guys are on this ship? Pure sausage fest.

[justamobster]

[ He makes an unhappy sound at that. ] They better not try no funny business or they'll find out this geezer's still able t'play some chin music, yeah?

[rebelsamurai]

Chin music, huh?

[He pauses briefly as he takes another drag on his cig. Johnny needs the nicotine, okay?]

I’m stealin’ that but yeah, despite batting for both teams—I like my cheesecake.

I’m just surprised by the crowd we have here.

[justamobster]

Have at, though half the time you'll get mooks askin' you what the hell it means.

[ Ladon appreciates not having to define his slang for once. And he's going to take the inference that 'cheesecake' refers to women. ] Not many dames or kids. The cutesy robots ain't makin' it any less disturbin'.

[rebelsamurai]

[ Unlike some, Johnny actually read a few books. He dabbled in everything from pompous authors like Nietzsche to suspense thrillers. He also spent some of his free time watching noir films back in the day. Kerry would often tease him about it, but the truth is that Johnny genuinely enjoys that sort of stuff. That's why he's familiar with this choom's lingo. ]

I bet. Not too many folks around here seem to know what "choom" means either. They think it's some kind of curse when all it means is "buddy" or "pal."

[ He chuckles lightly, more amused by the situation than annoyed. ]

The fuckin' bots are creepy in my opinion. They're all smiles and cupcakes now but I bet they have a nasty side.

[justamobster]

[ And Ladon has read... exactly zero. If you don't count the newspaper, which he has a regular practice of having read to him. It's adorable.

But hey, successful businessman despite the illiteracy. That counts for something. ]

Choom, huh? S'got a nice ring to it.

I got a feelin' the cuteness is so we don't go pullin' 'em apart for scrap parts. See how long that works for 'em, yeah?

[mikoshi]

No, the library. Wouldn't stop recommending me spaghetti Westerns after I said I wanted to see what he had on California

UN: idklol

[precocity]

chucklefucks???
that's a new one

[rebelsamurai]

Well, Cali is known for its shitty westerns. That and the cocaine drug trade.

[mikoshi]

It's also known for its chicks. Something California girls, we're unstoppable.

[rebelsamurai]

Are you a Cali chick, Vinny? That might explain why the Texan in me likes you.

But seriously, did you find anything useful at the library about this damn ship? The Theorem is like one big ass sci-fi mystery.

[rebelsamurai]

Not exactly “new” but more like appropriate.

[precocity]

i mean sure i can't argue that
still it is really nice to say some of us look like models
truer words have never been spoken
i should do modelling

[mikoshi]

Course I am. Name two states that've had a greater impact on American culture.

Define useful. Found a bunch of shit about the ships I'll be repairing, as well as other stuff that was interesting.

[rebelsamurai]

Texas. The states wouldn't know what the fuck good barbecue is without Texas.

Listen, I know you're good with your hands but fuckin' around with spaceships is a whole other story.

[rebelsamurai]

Nah, I think your ass probably falls on the "average" side.

[rebelsamurai]

Not very long since I'm plottin' on dissecting one of the little fucks soon.

[ He's not even joking about that. Johnny's bored and when he gets bored, he gets destructive. ]

By the way, what year was it in your world? For me, it was 2077.

[precocity]

hey!!!
how do you feel about crushing a poor guy's dreams?
