Initiative Announcement #007; Voice;

[ Oh, look, a voice post from the official Initiative frequency — it's probably all kinds of important and official. ]

Oh, boy, have we ever got a treat for you guys. [ …If it's so important and official, why does the speaker sound slightly drunk? ] You guys're all slacking with those weapons we whipped up for you, don't even pretend otherwise. Slackers. Sheesh, lead a horse to a laser cannon, but you can't make him fire it…

Anyway, that's alright. It's alright! We whipped up something else for you. You guys're gonna love this one. State of the art, alright? VR is old news, but wait till you see what we did with it. Sometimes I even impress myself, which isn't easy, because I usually know just how genius I am.

[ It's at about this point that the recorder picks up another voice in the background. The words are indistinct, but the tone is inquiring. This new speaker sounds way too professional to ever be drunk. ]

—No, I wasn't talking to you. Anyway, Transports, we're thinking… a week. A week? A week. Sounds good. We'll have this baby up and running in a week, and you'll love it. Money back guarantee if you don't.

[ The voice in the background is getting closer, words can be picked out. ”…talking to the Transports? Doctor, are you—” ]

I'm still not talking to you! [ ”Doctor, early release of information on this project was expressly prohibited!” ] Oh, calm the hell down, kid. I got this. [ And more fully into the mic: ] You're gonna love it, guys. You'll see.

[ And the broadcast ends, amid harried background protest. ]

Did he just say VR? He just said VR. The totally drunk sounding doctor guy just said VR.

How cool is that?!

Yes he did! He did just say VR! He— hey, hey now, I'm not drunk.

Slacking? [ Excuse you, sir, have you seen the huge dragon flying about the Hold? ] Mind explaining what 'VR' means for those of us from less technologically advanced realms?

VR? What, really? You people make me want to drink sometimes, you know that?

[yeah, he knows drunk when he sees it! 'VR', what even is that.] And why, exactly, will we love it?

Edited 2012-08-01 04:31 (UTC)

Because it'll be great! The belle of the ball, the hit of the party. It'll be the party. So, uh, I hope you like parties.

This isn't another one of those things where we play a game and then it goes all askew, is it?

[ Listen, she's done this gaming thing before, okay! ]

Wow, we are just swimming in the fish folk, huh? Weird. Anyway, no! No askew or beeskew or any skews at all. Just good old VR.

I'll have what you're having.

Well, that wasn't me personally, but it was still a neat bit of handiwork, wasn't it?

I'd offer it out if I could remember what it was, gal.

Slacking? [A sharp laugh.] Look, how about you give us something to do with these weapons, and maybe it won't be such a problem for you. [A pause.] You talking about virtual reality?

I'm giving you something, gal! That's the VR deal! Which, yes, well done, that's virtual reality. If you wanna be archaic about it.
