Hello boys and girls, we have a great program for you today. It'll include fun topics like: why you should NOT use glitter on the 14th floor of the communal housing, how to make a model using a lot of glue and we'll throw in a little bit about forces and how they work. Let's tune in with our co-host for more information! [The picture blurs and then Lockon appears in focus with glitter... everywhere.]
Don't be alarmed that our co-host looks like a stripper. That's his night job... not his day job/
[Lockon shakes his head, which of course just makes the glitter stuck in his hair more noticeable, and chuckles.] Actually, my co-host here decided that since our model is supposed to be in space, there needed to be stars. And threw the glitter. [He's standing next to said model which, in all honesty, looks like a grade five science project.]
You brought the glitter.
To apply carefully to the model. Which is not me, by the way.
But you're so cute with glitter! Look at you shine. I can't look away because you're so pretty Neil.
Hey, only my brother gets to call me that!
How about I call you honey or snoochums?
[Lockon grumbles.] Honey is fine. [Is he blushing a little? Why, yes, yes he is.]
Great! So, kids or whoever our raved viewers are, you'd like to know about how this model works right? Honey? Want to explain the space elevator?
Right! [Lockon clears his throat and tries to look like he isn't shimmering at every angle. He gestures to what looks like a papier-mâché Earth. The oceans and continents are painted on in rough approximations of their shapes. It's a little lumpy for Earth, but it's not like they had a globe they could just modify!]
As you can see, this is Earth. Here, here, and here are the orbital elevators that lead from the surface into space. [Three long spokes, that look like they were once hangers, stick out from the model.] On the Earth I'm from, we use solar power and these three elevators are the key to harnessing it.
For those kids who don't know, solar power is energy that is collected from the sun! [She flashes Neil a smile.] Tell us honey~ where do these elevators go? what are they used for?
They're the support structures for these, [He points to the two rings, which were also once hangers, around the model Earth.] They also serve as a means of transport between the surface and space. After all, someone has to maintain the equipment in space right?
Right. So what do people do in space Hoooooney.
Maintain the equipment that provided solar energy to Earth. Let me add the disclaimer now: I'm not a scientist of any sort. This is the sort of information you'd get on the documentary on the ride into space.
[He pauses, giving a serious look to the camera, before turning his attention back to the shoddy model. ] This outer ring, the high orbital ring as it's called, is home to the disks that harness the sun's energy like... solar panels. Where the ring intersects with the orbital elevator there's a high orbital station staffed with personnel to protect and maintain the function of the disks.
There we have it! Thank you for tuning into today's session of WE HAVE GLITTER! See us next time
[Freya flashes another flirty smile and then the screen goes black.]
[ooc: Actions are open for floor Communal Floor 14. For video's let us know in the subject if it's for Freya, Neil or both. If it's for one of them and it isn't private, the other might chime in! BLUE is Freya & GREEN is Neil.]
