003 ⌥ VIDEO -- saturday night

[femshep]

[And here's Shepard, out in the fog but you can tell she's walking briskly (presumably back toward the Flop) by the slight rhythmic sway of the camera. But she has SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO SAY, so listen up.]

If you hear this, you need to get inside and keep your door shut. There's something in this fog--the residents are all clearing the streets, and I think I saw a few putting on gas masks.

I repeat, if you hear this, you need to-... [A pause in which keeping a straight face seems difficult, and then she's busting up laughing.] You need to put on a skirt and stand on your head or something, because shit, I don't get why the hell you all listen to me, anyway. [By 'listen to' she means 'generally take orders from', and she distinctly remembers it making sense an hour ago, but now she's had an epiphany and it's fantastic.

Meanwhile, she tames the laughter down to an ecstatic grin, and in a tone that probably definitely makes you wonder what she's planning next and if you should duck and cover, she offers just two words:]

Shepard out.

[End transmission.]

[Looks like somebody missed the initial message: this reply comes about an hour later. Sherlock sounds... giddy.]

Oh, Commander Shepard...

[most_feared]

Ma'am, are you alright?

[This is not what he actually says. This sounds like bizarre chirps and whistles. He's trying to say something, but it's not this.]

[fireofunknown]

...why can't the fog do this to me?

Sound like you're havin' fun there, Shep.
[Have a chuckle, because Fox can sympathize with being stoned as hell. And of course finds that watching someone else be for a change? Very amusing.]

[Chell smiles lazily at the camera, head tilted to the side.]

You're acting weeeeeeeeeird.

[Shepard's not the only one.]

[thecricketer]

[he's wandering about, naturally but he's not succumbed to the fog's effects - at least, not quite yet

so he's able to look concerned when Shepard goes a bit, well, off]

I think you ought to find shelter as well, Commander.

[gavehislife]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey Shepard.

Get off the ground Shepard. Fucking primordial slug ooze is everywhere.

[Yes this is Stephen sitting on a rock, with his gun, looking like a cat who has been in the nip with his eyes so dilated. Probably not wise to sneak up on him. Seems he thinks the nearby vines are alive and dangerous. He's probably emptied at least on clip into them. But he snickers slightly under his breath.]

You should- You should see your face right now. I've never seen it do that.

[Yeah, he's lost it. He's on his back, back on the ground, cracking up.]

[buckingauthority]

Okay, so did everyone take crazy happy pills or something when I wasn't looking? Contaminated the water supply?

[She's just teasing. She heard about the fog, but she feels fine. At least right now she does.]

If it's the fog that's doing this? It's hitting people different ways, and some of us not at all.
