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.]

"Ah, you're right of course. It looks to have been made by some designer or other. They hardly seem to live in the same reality as the rest of us."
Don't mind his knowing side-eye at her when she wiggles her fingers. Not as if his own hands hadn't become sticky a time to two, but only when on the job.
"All right. If you say fifty then I'll say... seventy-five."

And all of that went into paying back Bill, who wiped out his entire 401k to build her the quantum chamber and its absurdly high energy bill. Who worked long research hours outside of his own university job to find a cure that never came to be.
So no, she has no guilt that she stole to survive. Not like she ever was given a paycheck.
"Well... we do literally live in a different reality," she reminds him. And then looks appropriately scandalized at the revealed price. $290!! "But... why?" Maybe the Captain is working from super future money and the rate of inflation really is that ridiculous.

He is even more scandalized by the price than she is. That much for a leather sack lunch bag? Outrageous. He'd seen priceless artifacts sold for less on the black market.
"There's just no accounting for taste, is there?"
