[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 to share a bathroom with Milagro, and...

I'm pretty sure no one needs to know any of this. Sorry.

I'm Jaime Reyes—I'm going to be a warden here. Anyone know what's for dinner tonight?

[video clicks off, then immediately clicks on again, though Jaime is not looking at the camera]

What?  No.  Of course I didn't ask about Cinnabon.

...

Because there is no Cinnabon here.  This isn't a vacation.

...

Sometimes, we have to go places without Cinnabon.  It's one of the sacrifices we make for the greater good.

...

Look, this is not a discussion.  There will be cinnamon rolls if God wills it, okay?

...

It's not fatalistic, it's realistic, and--

Got a thing for cinnamon rolls, huh?

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

[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?

[cisskabob]

[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.

[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.

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

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

[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?'

Audio. Curse this modern technology!

[momunculus.livejournal.com]

I see that your friend has a thing for sweets.

[video]

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

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.livejournal.com]

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.

[batmanschmatman]

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

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

...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.

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

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

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

...Alien?

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

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.

Video - WELL SOMEONE HAD TO ASK THE OBVIOUS QUESTION

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

...

Who or what are you talking to that doesn't talk back?

Video - YES THEY DID.

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

Uh... It's... kind of a computer... thing.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

So is Tetris. That is the most meaningless answer ever.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

You brought someone with you?

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

Well... kind of? He's... sort of like a computer.

...

Okay, yes, more than just a computer.

[nicebluehat.livejournal.com]

A robot? [If he thinks a robot's embarrassing, that's cool; she loves robots.]

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Jaime? Spanish, by any chance?

((ooc: sorry for the... nine days late this is. I got dozy on adding people, and Caesares would nae have missed this. as SPANISH BRO FIST. also, he knows a jaime of his own. :D))

[beetleboyblue.livejournal.com]

Uh--yeah. Well, I was born in America, but my family's from Mexico.

[OOC: No worries! Go Spanish bro fist!]

[iam-aghost.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Do you speak Spanish at all?
