"These people have not posted at all since the crash, but it's still early
Aldo
Clifford
Cronkite
Watts
Kip & El Diamente Azul, only once each. Paige & Portia only twice. Things could change as we've only been here a little over 12 hours. Some people may have been knocked unconscious from the crash"
Kip takes a hunk of Big League Chew out of his pocket and jams it in his mouth. Smacking his lips for a few moments, he somersaults a few times towards the center of the room.
Things will change! Starting.... now! HEY!
Kip leaps into the air and kicks both his feet outward begins performing the worm on the floor. He kips back up and dusts himself off.
Kip goes into a quick, lightning flash disco pose akin to John Travolta.
...or this.
Kip puts on his best Bruce Lee and gets into the martial arts pose.
Or... this.
Kip motions to his thick mustache and feigns getting on a motorcycle. Quite the mustache ride, indeed!
Kip DeBarge never leaves a room without turning some heads! But Kip DeBarge also never leaves the scene of crisis without abstaining a few minor scratches and abrasions here or there. I live for this stuff! And now I truly feel like.... like I commandeered a ship for a reason. I was MEANT to be here! The stars WERE my calling after all. And it was all so Kip DeBarge could save the day. Don't you see it?
we need someone like cassie here to keep shit exciting AMIRIGHT?
Kip begins sniffing furiously as Cassie approaches him.
Hey check out this koozbane, everyone. Is that what I think it is?
Kip shakes his head nervously.
You know, I got a nose for crime, miss. And quite frankly, you stink!
Kip begins wagging his hand in front of his nose.
I don't have time to deal with dirtbags like you! In a world where mobs and gangsters and Cuban kingpins and those soviet bastards are taking over, we must act quickly and SMARTLY to detain them!
Kip jumps on his hands and twirls his legs around in the air.[/colr]
This situation is warped, man. But I don't care! Put me on the list, Higgins! I'm ready to go! Let's jump through explosions and dodge bullets! I've been living for this moment since I left Callisto! C'hyeah!
I'm currently looking at those with a low post count coupled with very little content and those who have not shown up as candidates to stay behind. I still hold faith that those we leave behind will survive regardless, but since the signs are hard to read I cannot be certain. I would place anyone who is being detrimental to our cause slightly above them.
Kip for example has a low post count, but much to give and lot of content so he won't land low on my list. Cassie is hot headed and argumentative at times, but I have faith in the gods that she'll prove dedicated to the cause. I have high hopes for Cronkite and the baby, but if they don't show they put their fates at risk.
Kip forms a gun with his hand and shoots.
Ka-boom! On point! The Morween-ster!
Kip begins gyrating his head around.
Look at my hair flow in the wind. Look at your reflection in my shades. Look at the sweat pouring down my finely trimmed chest hair. I am a man with a rad sense of character. A man you can totally trust! I will never you any of you go till you see the light. So take me home tonight! Oh!
Hello yah, glad we've settled that Jeong isn't useful. I also appreciate Stubbs endorsement earlier and willingness to think outside the box. I would make a great leader yah, but people wish for their leader to be charismatic rather than talented. I beleive we will make more GAINZ with me as leader compared to the other candidates, but people might not enjoy the ride as much.
I am hoping in the next episode Kip posts, he can tell us who he finds useless yah? I can only take so much 70's gyration, I want an episode with some substance yah, Kip?
Not paying attention to much else, Kip absent-mindedly begins counting pillars and beams around the ship.
Kip notices Frederic was talking to him and stops in his tracks.
Whooooa! Don't mind me, just counting posts around the ship. So many people seem concerned about this "post count". What in the name of Tom Selleck's ass is a post count anyway? I wouldn't call these posts, they're beams and supports. I think we're fine though, everyone. The chances of this ship collapsing is very low, I'd be much more concerned over soviet spies planting bombs or something. Or perhaps one of YOU being said Soviet spy. Hmm!
Kip does a cartwheel somersault to the center of the room and jumps in the air with a high karate kick.
Take a red, man! Look at me, dudester! I'm just as totally ripped and rad as you! You want substance!? Well I think you know a little bit about substances yourself! Yeah! Hey!
Kip grabs his crotch and throws his arm up with a fist clenched.
Listen up Hairdog, everyone deserves a chance. We're in a totally stressful situation but everyone's wigging out over our ship taking such a crash landing. No fake! We need to take a chill pill and focus more on who we want to LEAD, not who we want to KILL! Let the order of operations speak for themselves when we're ready to make a decision. But let's give those who haven't a chance to show what they can do before we write them off not even a day after. My head's still rocking, man!
Kip cartwheels into the room and backflips into a ninja pose.
Did somebody say... KIP!?
He nods.
Man it's true! Kip is here and DeBarge is life! Radical dude!
Kip starts to gyrate his head around to attempt to make his hair flow in the wind... poorly.
What's all this lamesauce gossip of leaving Kip DeBarge behind?! Don't have a cow, man. Kip DeBarge LIVES for adventure! I left a tropical paradise to come here to this ship and save the lives of everyone!
Kip does a somersault towards Percy and whips off his sunglasses.
If you were trapped underneath something, I would lift it would one arm and twirl it on my finger! Watch!
Kip cartwheels back over to the center of the bay and attempts to lift a console up. A loud crack is heard.
Whoa!
Kip buckles to the floor and thrives in pain.
Hey man, I guess the adrenaline got the better of me there but when I get back to my feet - WATCH OUT! Cause Kip DeBarge is going to be running through explosions and putting out fires with my WANG CHUNG TONIGHT, HEY NOW!
Kip climbs back up to his feet in a not-so-smooth fashion.
To answer an unanswered question, I will putting Dain down as the leader. I'm still debating on the second though Eddie Valient seems to want it and I think he's a rad dude. I always had Percy in my mind too even though she wants to leave ol' Kip DeBarge out to rot. But that's okay, different opinions totally build character you know!
Misty - Absent for more than 24 hours
Jeong - Too risky in high pressure situations to wait on a translation
Lindberg - Takeshi cannot remember what Lindberg has said
Portia - Volunteered to keep track of activity and disappeared
Paige - Pleaded for a suit and disappeared
Elliot - ^
Clifford - ^^
Veleriya - ^^^
Watts - Presumed dead.
Kip finally pops the painkiller he was given and springs to his feet.
Takester totally has the same bottom 9 as mine, man. Right down the reasoning, whoa!
Kip jumps into the air and balances on Anna's face.
HEY! WHOA! Look at what I can do, man!
Kip backflips onto his feet and throws his hands into a prayer, lifting one leg off the ground.
It's a shame there aren't more episodes of Kip DeBarge in STAR PILOT, the totally radical astronaut from Callisto man! I wish there were. It's interesting to note how much Kip is on the bottom, keeping in the know and catching up whenever he can rather than disappearing completely. For a busy man like Kip DeBarge, I would say that's at least a trait he has over some of these other people dude! Kip is always watching! Hey now! But when we split up, promise you me that I you will see my face all the damn time man as it'll be a lot easier to contribute more smoothly.
Kip looks towards the group and frowns.
But... it's looking like this is my resting place. THE SHIP OF DOOM, MAN! No matter, I escaped a building in three seconds after I..... or, uh, some other guy.... cut the wrong wire on a bomb and I didn't have a scratch man! I didn't fly up in the air or anything though, shit, still a dream of mine man. Surely I can totally survive this! Or.....
Kip picks himself up after his sobfest and observes the hostility in the room from those about to be left behind.
Dude, I get it. This is so warped and totally frustrating. But it's unfair to cast all that anger towards people for doing what they're told. Man none of us wanted to be in this position. It's great we're electing some serious leaders to take us into the unknown but leaving people behind, I don't think anyone truly wants to do that. Don't you realize why we all came out here in the first place?! It was for the greater good, man! We were all looking to be heroes. None of us really belong here. I mean dang dude, I am one baaaad dude but I'm not a trained space explorer. So no matter what you think of these people, nobody here is truly selfish or else they wouldn't be here, man!
I say this as someone who is on the bottom of a lot of people's lists. I get it, man! Nine is a big number to lose and I haven't talked as much as most people here so I get why people may think Kip DeBarge will be holding them back. And I mean, dude, that's not the case at all! I'm here to stay, I'm lurking if I ain't talking and I'm doing backflips towards the sun when everyone else is sleeping. But some people don't see that, man. And that's totally cool, because that's just the type of super lame position we're in. It bites, man! But take a chill pill. Seriously. If I am left behind, I'm not giving up. I'm a survivor, dude! I will find some way to get out of here and if I have anything to do with it, the other eight that are left behind will join me on a radical adventure of a lifetime!
True but to say "well we had our old deadline and that's that" is fairly ridiculous. We have a gift of more time. It ought to be used if anything new actually were to come up.
Kip drops to his knees and shoots both arms with pointer fingers extender towards Diamente.
Yeah! Right on! Dude if we weren't meant to further deliberate our situation, we wouldn't be talking right now. We'd be sitting here in silence until the situation was resolved. But something happened that caused this situation to extend and I think it's bit warped out to say that we shouldn't even consider it. I mean there's some bum-asses out there who aren't taking their potential exile well. Getting a slow start here is an understandable reason to exile someone but consistency is the key factor in surviving the unknown depths of space, man.
I hear that fire sizzling baby. This place is about to pop, dude! Hope you've all said your prayers and taken your vitamins... this stuff is about to get real messy, man.
Kip sees the coats being sorted through and awkwardly looks at the floor.
I'll... uh... I'll be here in case something bad happens, man!
