Help? [Made with Daimon's stolen omnicom]

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

Hallooo, strangers.

My name is... Bob Mc...Play...Skool. I'm antisocial and had to stay away from the meeting, because I hate crowds. Could someone maybe explain to me what exactly is going on?

You are so lucky that he's not very smart

We're on a space ship, trying to save the world. Except we have to fight a war, and there's all these monsters all the time.

But it's alright, everyone's pretty good at this. I think we'll be okay.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

A war? Are you kidding me?

[dis-courageous.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but they don't let me fight, because I'm too small. Mom doesn't like it.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

Well if you're a kid, you shouldn't have to fight in anything. Kids should have time to be kids, and play with their toys.

Hello, Bob. You have been recruited into Queen Stacy's army in the sky, to combat ferocious, world-devouring enemies.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

I don't think someone like me would be a recruit in anything.

Have you seen a little girl named Bonnie around? Or a teenaged boy named Andy?

[godimgood.livejournal.com]

There are a lot of children around, but I've not heard of either of those. Are they your children, m'lord?

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

...In a sense.

[prettycoolguy]

Why are you using Mr. Hellstrom's omnicomm, Mr. Playskool? Weren't you issued one?

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

I found this on the floor. I didn't know it belonged to anybody, but I reckon I should have considered that. I'd be happy to leave it somewhere for it's original owner--I just wanted to ask my questions. Seemed my biggest priority.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

Oh, and that's McPlayskool.

[prettycoolguy]

My apologies, Mr. McPlayskool.

Be sure to ask an engineer to get an omnicomm of your own, and return this one to Mr. Hellstrom. They're important.

I've compiled a file on our situation and life on the ship here. You should be able to access it from your own omnicomm as well when you are issued one.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

So...you're telling me I'm on a spaceship, all the people here have been recruited for a war, and our worlds are gone?

Just like that? Poof. Kaput. Gone.

[livestoannoy]

Dude. McPlaySkool?

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

I got teased a lot in school, okay? I know it's a weird name.

[livestoannoy]

Of course you'd got teased. The jokes are almost too easy. Especially since it so conveniently matches exactly with the brand name. (Well, except for the "Mc".) Funny, that.

Let me guess, really the McPlaySkools have a long and noble history of fighting the McPowerRangers for the great Lego plains of Scotland, right?

It can be easier talking over this thing. It reminds me of the internet. I was only ever comfortable talking on the internet.

From what I've managed to gather, we're on a space ship full of people. Some of these people are fictitious in our own universes, but it seemed like a pretty bad idea to tell someone that they weren't real. We're supposed to be fighting an alien race called the Ohm, and we're essentially prisoners forced to fight for this evil ship who has a sort of hero complex despite her just being an AI.

I figure I've just finally snapped, and that you're all parts of my subconscious, and I'm actually sitting in a hospital catatonic or something somewhere.

But I guess I can play along. I don't see anyway to get myself to wake up.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

Aw, you're not crazy. This situation is what's crazy.

[hack-rat.livejournal.com]

You really think it's possible we could've been picked up by a spaceship?

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Mcplayskool? Cool name dude.

Huh...

...now that I think about it I really miss my toys back home. I wonder if there's any spare action figures in the lockers.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

If you find any, remember to play nice.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Oh dude of coarse.

I never understood people who didn't play with their toys either. I mean come on collectible value? Who cares right? So long as you have a good time.

[hexyeah]

Would you like someone to come speak with you in person? Away from the crowd.

[belongstoydna.livejournal.com]

No thank you, ma'am. Like I said: not a people person.

[hexyeah]

Are you sure? It's easier to explain in person, not to mention some of the information isn't easy to take in. I can come see you in a secluded place.
