Funny / The Strange Case of Starship Iris

• Episode 1: Violet Liu
  • Violet earns one within minutes of the first broadcast.
    Violet: ‘Hey, young Violet, I see you’re a freshman in college, have you considered maybe, I don’t know, using your elective credits to spend thirty goddamn seconds studying anything about a ship’s internal systems?’ ‘Oh hi, older Violet, you know I did think about it—‘ Shit! ‘—I thought about it, but there’s this really cute girl taking Early Pre-Crisis Folklore, so. You understand.’ ‘Yeah, great, young Violet. Now there is a choice that is definitely gonna serve you well, hovering in the middle of a vast black waste too empty to even howl. Great. Also, just so you know, turns out she’s only into blonds, and she drops out second semester to join a cult, so just. A-plus choices, all around.’
