luministi | [Video] S03E01: Fitz and the Tantrums

[The transmission begins with something of a disdainful snort. Someone is ~~on the verge of~~ throwing a tantrum as he stands in front of a window displaying the starry expanse outside, clutching a pillow in the most aggressive way it's physically possible for him to clutch a pillow.]

Really? Really!? I spent HOW many months making sure that every little nook and cranny of this station remains perfectly flawless and beautiful, waiting and waiting AND WAITING for this day, this MOMENT, and THIS is the thanks I get!? Being locked back here!? Just how in the hell am I supposed to welcome everyone like this, huh!? How am I supposed to be a gracious, pleasant host when I'm locked in the station's equivalent to a GODDAMN MAINTENANCE CLOSET!?

[His death-grip on the pillow tightens visibly.]

I'm going to have a word with that man, and if he doesn't help me fix this, I... I'll think of something!!

[The video switches off, but the audio stays on for a moment to catch a muffled comment:]

This was supposed to be such a good day...

[Don't mind her. She's just laughing her ass off over here.]

Just what in the hell are you giggling at!?

You, doofus! Duh.

Yes, yes, I got that. But why?

Why else? Because that show you just put on was hilarious!

...

As much as I want to tell you off, I really don't have the energy for it right now.

And... it's actually kind of reassuring to hear that not all of my visitors are paragons of compassion and virtue.

[Though he can't see it, she smiles widely on the other side of the audio feed.]

Thanks! Maybe you're not so bad after all. In fact, I'm beginning to think you're a tier above the rest--if this place is full of "paragons of compassion and virtue" that is. Barf!

[There's a slight pause.]

All of your visitors, huh?

It's not always the case, but if the selection is anything like before you'll find several kind and generous types. It's pleasant sometimes but something about it puts me on edge.

I'll take whoever I can get at this point though.

[There's a sound of him shifting a little and his speech goes into a mildly sleepy drawl.]

Last time this happened I chose to stay here while everyone else left. Since I've been the only living thing here for such a long time I've started thinking of the entire station as "mine," which would make anyone who shows up here "my visitor."

-I know they're not here to see me, but I also don't care.

I'll take them if they can put aside their nicey nice bullshit to help us get the hell out of here.

No ties to your old world then? [If he's anything like her, then she can understand the desire to leave those ties behind.] Or you just like this place thaaaaaaaat much?

Oh, they will. They've done it before. I would say that with the exception of me and one other, everyone else wants to leave just as much as you do.

Both of those reasons for staying are kind of true. There wasn't really anything worth going back for, and from what I've gathered this station is incredibly valuable. Even if it wasn't, and this isn't going to make sense to anyone but me, I kind of took a liking to the guy who used to run things around here...

Good to know, then!

I can see the perks in staying. [The biggest one being that she's alive again. This is almost like a second chance, and she knows full well that those don't come all too often.] I might just do the same. But I ain't no one's toy. They can't yank me in and out of my universe without my permission.

[Wait. Backtrack.]

........ Station. And what guy is this?
