My vape isn't working. (I found it on the side of the road yesterday...)

-@tulpar-co-captain

“Aw dude! Thats probably why it isn’t working man! You should get a new one! I had one at some point but stopped using it cause my mom caught me.”

“You smoked WHAT?”

“My friends wanted me to try it!”

“Boy you don’t EVER smoke those damn things again. You know what those things do to your lungs? Don’t let some dumbasses tell you to try something. How old are you? 22? Don’t fuck up yer lungs already!”

“Alright alright! Its okay Boss, I only tried it once! I’m fine!”

“…hmph.”

Hello Swansea And Daisuke. I have questions for each of you!!

Swansea: Do you miss your family back at home?

Daisuke: How are you getting along with the other crew members?

“…Great.”

“Oh! Yeah, glad that they’re doing great!”

“No- This Pony Express Camera thing has backed up data its soundin’ like.”

“…How you mean?”

“Y’hearing this thing? Trying to get personal questions outta me?”

“Well- maybe its just a general question! I mean, all of us have families back at home, Boss! It just uh- wants to know about your family! Yeah, thats all!”

“…Tch. Fine. They’re fine. If you guys don’t make the travel safe and I end up dead, my wife says “I’ll kill em. Every last one.””

“Woah! Like… Doom-style?”

“…The hell you sayin’, kid?”

“Uh- Don’t worry about it. Anyways, I’m gettin’ along great with them! I’m still really new and only maybe a couple of days into the trip, so I’m still learning about everyone. Curly has been really nice and has been showing me around the ship a BUNCH- he kinda forgets sometimes where hes at but I get that, I also do that! Jimmy has been kinda distant with everyone but Curly says its because hes ‘a little shy’. He can be a little stand-off-ish but thats okay! Anya has been great, me and her like to hang out around the lounge area on our breaks and talk. Its small talk, but I like it! Lets me learn more about them. And Swansea is my boss! I hang around him all the time, right?”

“Yeah. Yer like a parasite.”

“What?? No!!”

“Heh.”

tap tap... can you hear me?

oh! there you are.

hey there, Daisuke - that is your name, right? - and Swansea! very nice to meet you both.

say, I have a question! what type of music do you folk like listening to on the radio?

— 🌙

"Nice to meet you too, uh... moon! Well, I mean we kinda can't listen to anything on the radio while were up in space- radio waves n' all that. Right?" "...Yeah- we're too far away from Earth right now to have radio waves be travelin' this far out. We *can* if we are a certain distance, its not entirely implausible. But, its why we need the printer in the cockpit instead if they wanna send out direct messages to us. The waves are alot more powerful and alot more direct- yada yada. You already know this." "...Yeah! Totally!" "...Anyways, I ain't listening to anything on those garbage radios nowadays anyways, they got too many advertisements. They're sucking the music out of it and just playin' loud noises instead. Their used to be less... as much as you can call still garbled noise ""less.""" "Well- uhhh... What about your playlist? Everyone brought one!" "Only cause Captain wanted us to. He gets a kick out of different music tastes. Otherwise, I wouldn't. You'll listen to it when I'm dead." "Well- I meannn uhhh I like bbno$! Honestly any song thats party music I REALLY like- I like ANYTHING if we're being so real." "Yeah, we can all hear it! You play it loud enough that Curly hears it from his damn quarters!" "...Actually??"

OPENING VISUALIZER APERTURE MICROPHONE ACTIVE.

...

Your visualizer finally sets in from the long black screen that you were so used to seeing. It feels odd, being awoken like this and seeing light for the first time in god knows how long. Dust covers your "eye" as you try and focus in... Before you could however, your lens is cleared off with a swipe of the person who awoke you from your slumber. You could hear a voice, muffled in the back. "...-ading some of these chapters, huh? God, they really just gave me some kid with NOTHIN'..." The voice seemed to mumble out the last part. He sounded exhausted. The person holding you seemed to finally realize that you were awake, and gave an expression of surprise. "Oh?? Woah!... You didn't tell me you had a 20Q!" The guy holding you tilted you around. "These things are OLD! I didn't know Pony Express made them either!" "...Eh?" The other guy across the room seemed confused.

"Yeah! Check it!"

"Its like some old... like I said, 20Q machine! You know those things? You would think of something and try and get it to guess what you were thinking??" The guy sitting behind him gave the other an odd glance. "Daisuke we got shit to do, we don't have time looking through Pony Expresses HUNK OF JUNK that they have lyin' around here. And certainly not the ones that are just meant for games." "Dude this thing is like higher tech too! It has a camera and everything as well- maybe it can identify things- is that a microphone too?? Can it hear us?" "Like I said, hunk of junk. Probably nothing. Looks like a bunch of parts slammed together." "Come onnn Swansea! maybe I can try fixing this thing up! Like maybe its my intern project!" "Your... Intern... kid, you're unbearable." "PLLEAAAASE dude? Give it some air at least!" "Its not an animal." "...Lets try having it ask some questions at least, right? See if it works?" "...FINE. Fine. Put it on the desk and leave it there. If it says something, answer it. I don't care. Just get your ass OVER here so we can get some work done."

SWANSEA and DAISUKE are open to questions! 🌺🪓
