[The video jumps around a little, shaky as he moves around the rec area. Thankfully he's going at a pace that can actually be seen by the human eye. The screen is just a shaky shot of the pool area, jerking a bit as he speaks.]

So, the pool. That's a really nice touch. Almost makes up for us being stuck in space. But, you know, I'm going to give it to you guys because I've always wanted a pool- well a bigger pool. We had one of those blow up kiddie things, but no one over the age of eight wants to be caught dead in that thing. Anyway, this. This is a step towards making this place less like a weird prison sentence.

What's not cool, on like the top ten list of really screwed up things about this place, is what you're lacking. You do have some issues with with rabid dogs and apparently you guys blew up a planet, like what? And while I'd really like to punch whatever lost my headphones, hey. I'll live. But the worst thing?

[Peter finally comes into view, a frowning mess of silver hair and bad fashion.]

I've not found a single Twinkie in this place. No Ding Dongs, no Ho Hos. Not even a Sno Ball. You guys are really killing me here.

[He changes back; he'd be more annoyed at the green jab if he wasn't enjoying the sound of applause so much.]

Hey, don't knock the green, dude. The ladies love the green, almost as much as they dig the pointy ears.

[Then he grins] ...But, yeah. It is pretty sweet.

So what's your deal, anyway? I mean, aside from being really into snack foods. I don't think I caught your name?

[takeitslow]

Really? They don't run screaming?

[And he's honestly, honestly curious here, even if it doesn't come across like that. Dating had always been complicated back home with the anti-mutant sentiments. The gray hair had made him stand out enough, he couldn't imagine how rough it would be to have the mutation so obvious.]

Peter Maximoff. And my deal is being pissed about the lack of cool shit around here. Among other things, but that's what was on the agenda for today.

Sorry LIFE STUFF been slowing my tag train down

[leanandgreen]

Peter, huh? Cool. And I dunno if I agree about there not being cool stuff around here, we're on a flipping futuristic spaceship! I mean, most of it is stuff I'm not allowed to even touch, but you can't say that this setup isn't totally crazy awesome. I feel like I'm on Clash of the Planets or something!

It's cool yo

[takeitslow]

There are no video games, no TVs, no snack foods. Like, yeah, totally sci-fi craziness around here. But how long is that going to be interesting? It looks like we're going to be stuck here for a lot longer than a few weeks.

[Beast Boy tries to think of a reasonable rebuttal to that, but....

His face sinks.]

...Okay, that's a good point.

[takeitslow]

Sorry, dude.[He doesn't sound it.] But that's just how I see it. I mean, at least the few weeks might be kind of cool. At least there's a lot of people around.
