[ It's been a rough month, between March, losing a friend (maybe the only one he's had here) and the simulation.

It's not like Rhys is new to hitting rock bottom, hell, this is far from the lowest he's ever been. It's never a fun process, but of all wisdom Jack imparted on him one remains true: You've gotta break things down to build them back up again. When you're at a low point, after marathoning all 10 seasons of How I Met Your Second Uncle Twice Removed and ice cream binging, you pick yourself up, put your nose to the grindstone and rebrand.

THAT'S RIGHT BABY Rhys is New Coke-ing himself. Let's not worry about the fact that everyone hated new coke.

Rhys sits in front of the camera, his expressions are practiced, corporate. Earnesty without any of the earnestness, but it still reads somewhat genuine. ]


Hey gang, Rhys here. Just wanted to put a little something out there, for all of you to hear, know where I'm at.

We've all made mistakes in our past. Some of us more than most. Even me.


That's why I'm coming to you all with a pitch: New day, new Rhys. What can I do for you? C'mon people lets see those requests!

Quick little disclaimer: I will not do weird stuff

I'm terribly curious what you'd consider to be "weird stuff".

[He's not outright laughing yet but there's a smirk there.]

[smugreport]

I think it's pretty obvious? If you think it's weird, it probably is and I won't do it.

[shiftedshape]

I would think if someone is thinking to request it of you it's very likely they don't realize it is weird, though.

Have you received any legitimate requests, yet?

[smugreport]

You don't think a person asking you to be like, human furniture or something doesn't know they're being weird?

And surprisingly, no? Which is weird all on its own. Who doesn't like getting stuff done for them!

[Is this what simulations do? She just wants to have a few drinks, meanwhile Rhys is... this. Interesting.]

You're taking requests? [He just said, but she just needs to be sure.]

[smugreport]

That I am madam.

[nineteenfortyfive]

[Oh, sweet summer child.]

What sort of requests do you imagine you'll be getting?

[smugreport]

You know. Grab someone a coffee, jailbreak their commlink...that sorta stuff.

[nineteenfortyfive]

"Jailbreak" their commlink? What does that mean?

[?????]

what. i don't get this. requests for what?
what is the context here

Rhy$.$trongfork

[smugreport]

What's there not to get? I'll do a small favor for you, on me.

[sanctus_dei]

yeah, okay, but what kind of favors

what kind of favors could someone even need done here

[smugreport]

Grab you a drink from the mess hall, fluff your pillow, program Pong onto your commlink. People always need things done.




Within reason.

Are you... trying to make deals?

[ There's a certain amount of both befuddlement and amusement going on right now. ]

[smugreport]

Hey, if you're offering something in return for my services, then who am I to refuse?

[dealwiththe]

This entire plan of yours is based on the assumption you can do anything for someone. You need to know what someone desires, and then you need to get access to that.

[ Just for starters. ]

[smugreport]

Yeah that's why I'm asking for requests. Why are people having such a hard time understanding this?

[piacularis]

You might see a more enthusiastic response if you were to list your skills and qualifications along with your offer.

Rhy$.$trongfork

[smugreport]

I'm pretty sure I'm well known around here as a tech expert, so people can start there.

[ He is not known as that. ]

[piacularis]

You're not all that well known, or I wouldn't be asking.

Corporate what? Is that the name of some start-up?

[theartofmadness]

[smugreport]

Technically Eden-5, but the last planet I was on was called Pandora?
