video | un: handsome zelos

[What is the first thing that Zelos does when he realizes that these little wrist devices can communicate to everyone on the ship? That's simple.]

Yo, hunnies! [His voice sounds loud and clear across the communicators, his face also making a grinning appearance. Well, as much as this announcement might seem carefree, he's actually just fishing to see who's all on this ship. He heard there were a few groups of people in front of him at least, so who's he looking at here? He can't properly stay safe if he doesn't know the whole set up.]

Check me out! Are you seeing this, or what? Man, I look so cool, even on these little wrist bands! [His laughter sounds out, obnoxiously cheerful about this.] You guys can all hear me, right? Testing, testing, one, two, three...!

[He's probably made himself hated to more than half of the ship by now, but that's fine.] The name's Zelos Wilder, but you can just call me Zelos. ♥ We're all the unfortunate souls stuck in this screw up, right? So let's get along!

[That's his short and simple message, and with a wink, he turns the video off.]

Aw, come on, you don't wanna get along? But we're all in this together!

[Highschool musical playing in the distance... Except not really, it's just Zelos looking sad.]

permavoice bc she is stubborn (and doesn't know how to change to vid)

[buttsbuttsbutts]

No! I don't want to get along because I don't want to be here. I don't want any of it. How can you– ugh. Look. We've not just stepped in shite, alright? We've frigging rolled in it. Covered, all of us.

That's what this is. Shite, up to our tits.

So. No.

[ JUST NO. to everything. ]

[luxuriant]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, take it easy, hunny! I'm not disagreeing with you. I mean, I sure as hell didn't ask to be dragged here and forced to wear some tacky outfit. This is criminal!

[He will complain to the ends of the earth. But--!] But the thing is, we're all stuck like this, aren't we? So we might as well band together, or whatever.

[buttsbuttsbutts]

And do what? We're nowhere. There's nothing. There's no banding together and making a grand escape like heroes, is there? We're stuck.

[ ok maybe a little of that blind panic is still hanging around ]

[luxuriant]

Well, yeah, but we got here somehow, right? That means there has to be a way back!

[He sounds more carefree than outright optimistic. Which is really hammered in with his next words.] Besides, this place is kind of like a vacation! There's tons of shops and everything. It's not like we're stuck behind bars or anything.

[buttsbuttsbutts]

Don't need bars when there's nothing. It's like sticking someone in a tower and saying "Oh, don't worry. There's no bars so you're fine. It's not prison." But there's no way down, is there? Still stuck, still locked up. Bars or not.

Just because they try to make it pretty doesn't mean anything. Shit's still shit.

[luxuriant]

Hang on, I'm not trying to say this isn't a bad situation. No matter how you look at it, it's like being kidnapped! I don't buy their whole reasoning, either.

But still, what's it gonna help us to run around here like a bunch of rats in a maze? It'll be easier to find a way out if we lay low and take a look at our surroundings. Leave it to me. The great Zelos will get us all out of here!
