YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT

WHO: the Captain + You
WHAT: contractually obligated price is right game
WHEN: 11/18, like nightish?
WHERE: Bellona Theater
WARNINGS: N/A, currently

[you've heard the announcement, the sound of Friday's cautious optimism as she spoke it. you've waited all day. now, it's time for the game.

the amount of effort that has gone into this production at Bellona can be safely defined as “minimal.” there are three podiums, with three slate boards and three pieces of chalk. there is another podium, currently empty, next to a plain folding table. there is a tablecloth draped over the table, covering a lumpy, inscrutable shape.

the most remarkable thing is the giant wheel set up on the other side of the empty podium. the slices of the giant circle are colorful, but also completely blank. the Captain actually spends 30 minutes prior to the start of the event simply sitting in front of it, back to the audience, and spinning it, listening to the loud clacking noise pick up and then die down again, before spinning it once more.

clackclackclack clack clack. clack. clackclackclackclackclack.

it's gonna be a long night.]

Words of protest reach Erin's lips and die there. Of course they know they'll end up guilty by association. Crabb and Cass aren't stupid.

She croaks out an agreement before burying her face against her knees to await the final round.

It hasn't not crossed Crabb's mind that some people might have opinions about them sticking by Erin, but it sure as Hell doesn't matter to her. Not right now and probably not ever.

Crabb just wraps her arm tighter around Erin, settles the other hand on her leg, and presses a kiss to the top of her hair. She's not going anywhere. You've got Honoria's loyalty now, Erin; that doesn't break easy.

It hasn't really occurred to Cassandra that others might judge her for publicly, visibly aligning herself with Erin. She's too busy internally judging them, if they've got a problem with it.

She stays on her feet, but moves closer, enough for her hip to press solidly against Erin's bent shoulder. She's not going anywhere either, but her direct attention isn't on Erin: it's on their surroundings, on anything that might pose a threat to be intercepted.

Paying attention to Erin directly will wait until this farce is over.
