beetleboyblue | [001] Take me to your Cinnabon

[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--

From what I've gathered, we're on a haunted ship that's hurtling itself through time and space. A talking machine seems rather benign by comparison, wouldn't you agree?

[He laughs a little.] Well, yeah. Especially since the only one he talks to is me.

Oh, really? And why is that?

He... talks to me in my head, so really, I'm the only one that can hear him.

I promise I'm not crazy.

Of course not. But...is this a common thing for computers? Computers that only talk to their owners, I mean.

[Yeah, he knows. He can't help it. :(]

Uh... not really. We're kind of a special case.

So I see. Then again, it seems that the people here are used to a variety of different machines. I suppose this is just another difference.

Maybe. I mean--even where I'm from, there's a pretty wide variety of technology.

Perhaps you can tell me more about it - I'm sure it would come in handy in this place. But first, I'm afraid we haven't introduced ourselves.

Oh--heh. Sorry. I'm Jaime Reyes.

No worries. My name is Juliet Douglas, and it's a pleasure to meet you. If you don't mind, maybe we should talk in person? There's some more that I'd like to ask you.

Uh--sure. I'm kinda new around here, but I'm pretty sure I can find my way around. Where would you like to meet?

Hmn. Do you know where the library is? There's a common room nearby that we could meet at.

Not yet, but I bet it would be pretty easy to find! See you there?

I'll be there shortly.

[Or I can tag into your Day in the Life--either way works for me!]
