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.]

[ A shrug. ]
I think he's just fucking with us, as usual, that's it.
no subject
no subject
[ Bitter bitter bitter, and she doesn't look in the Captain's direction. ]
No, Phil won my round. It was a really really tiny purse.
[ Gestures to it, because Phil is sitting right next to her. Darcy takes a breath, trying to simmer her rage down just a little. ]
Sorry, I don't think I asked how you were holding up.
no subject
That's adorable! If we were like, one-sixth sized figurines or like. Maybe if you had a Black Widow Hot Toy and she needed a purse for her gun. [Steven, a nerd? Perish the thought.]
I'm doing alright, yeah, thank you. There was um... Marc's been a bit off since the possession thing. But I-- think he's just having nightmares. Have you been having nightmares? [Maybe there's something in the water again or... well. He doesn't know.]
no subject
[ Darcy nods, surreptitiously casting her gaze around the room to see where Marc got to, since he's not still at the podium. ]
I think October just sucked for everyone. Everyone's just... dealing with it.
[ And does not answer his question at all. ]
no subject
Well it's. Almost that time of year! Food and presents and snow. Not that-- we might not get snow here. But things might pick up, in any case? [Steven is hopelessly optimistic about the end of the year.]
no subject
[ Well, that wasn't a point of connection she was expecting to have with him. ]
Maybe. I usually really like Christmas and everything. It'll suck not having it at home, but. Christmas is usually good.
no subject
It may just have to be a quiet one this year, with people here. I'll bet half this ship hasn't heard of Christmas. Or Hanukkah. [He's not sure he can get Marc to want to have anything to do with Hanukkah. But maybe they can have a little Christmas compromise.]
Slim pickings though, if we have to source gifts from the few shops on board. [They won't have to pay for them at least, but. Still feels less special, somehow.]
no subject
[ A dry snort, ] I'd tell people about Christmas, but I think that counts as evangelism. Maybe we'll get lucky and the buffet will have latkes.
In any case, I don't think anyone's really on the hook for presents. Not unless we get some for other people in the sundries shop.
no subject
I miss latkes. [They're not vegan but he'll definitely have one if they start showing up in the restaurants, for old time's sake.]
Maybe we could wrap a hundred wee presents and give them out? It-- might be a nice thing to do. Even if it's evil magician Captain murder ship merchandise...
no subject
[ Since, y'know. Darcy knows first-hand how easy it is to murder this dude. He'd probably have tripped and fallen onto someone's sword immediately. ]
I mean, you can do that. I don't like everyone here.
no subject
Well I'd just hate for people to feel left out if only some people get things and not others. [Steven sniffles and wrinkles his nose.] Maybe I should ask the Captain if he might provide some nicer gifts... [Wary sideeye.]
no subject
[ Hopefully that should be enough to dissuade him. ]
no subject
You know him quite well, do you? [Just because he's reining it in doesn't mean Steven can't have a wee sulk about it.]
no subject
[ Calls over to him, points directly at Steven over his head. ]
Do you want to be friends with Steven?
no subject
Um!! Wha-- Darcy! [He already threatened to kill him!]
no subject
[also he's gone back to spinning the wheel and has not even bothered to do more than slightly raise his voice to reply.]
