[This is new for Keith. He monitors the network, of course, too paranoid not to pay attention to everything that's going on around him, but actually posting something? It's out of his comfort zone. It's the vlog all over again.
So he looks awkward, like he can't believe he's actually doing this. But he is. He's still wearing the green apron that makes up his uniform (the Moonbucks logo just barely visible in frame), mullet tamed back into a little ponytail. He's got a coffee in his hands, and he's tucked himself at a table back in the far corner of the cafe he works in. He's on break.]
Is it really that bad if someone spells your name wrong on a coffee cup? I mean, the drink's right. I always get the drink right. Isn't that the important part?
[Someone has had a few complaints apparently.] It's loud and busy in here. How am I supposed to hear the difference between Bob and Bog? ...Bog could be a name. I know I've met a Bog.
[They were an alien, but that is not the point. He spreads his hands in a "see? a point!" gesture. And in this gesture he uncovers his own name written on his cup. Somehow he's left off the "h" and and scrawled the "t" in such a way that it looks more like a "f" and anyway, he's currently drinking a coffee that belongs to "Keif."
This problem goes deep.
Anyway.]
Sometimes I think this job isn't a great fit. Also I'm pretty sure I'm going to smell like pumpkin spice for the rest of my life. There's not even any pumpkin in it.
[Keith's having that kind of day.
Anyone who wants to catch him in person at work, feel free to find him brooding into his coffee on his break. And feel free to have been personally victimized by Keith's inability to get names right on coffee orders.]

I'm sure that some people don't mind too much, as long as the drink is right.

[He sags a bit more in his chair. He's really not cut out for the service industry.]
Right? That'd be my priority anyway.

Re: video;
Thanks.
[He means it. The perspective is good. Because it's been treated like a fairly big deal, but he's well aware the world outside this little cafe probably doesn't much care.]
video;
And think of it this way: tomorrow is a new day and everyone will have forgotten and moved on. So can you.
video;
[He even smiles a bit here. He appreciates it, Jane.]
And I'm hoping to find another job option soon. Get back into the sky where nothing is pumpkin spice flavored.
video;
Oh! You should contact Carol, then. She's in the Air Force and she might have some ideas of how to get into a plane at least.
video;
[He perks up noticeably talking about this.] Planes would be a good start. I miss flying.
video;
[She smiles, glad to see him more cheerful.]
That's right! You're used to space flight. I wonder if there would be something at Cape Canaveral.
video;
[Keith looks pleased about this subject too.]
They might. There's the Moon Base and all. I still need to check that out.
video;
I've gone up there and it's amazing! You should totally go!
video;
Had you been to space before?
video;
Not like in a rocket, with conventional means. But I have gone through an Einstein-Rosen bridge to another part of the galaxy! Twice!
video;
[Now, Keith has never heard of an Einstein-Rosen bridge by that name, but well,] That anything like a wormhole?
video;
video;
[Keith nods.] We use those too. I don't understand how they work, but Allura can open them.
video;
Oh? Does she use a machine?
video;
[A quick nod.] Yeah. It's called a teludav. Allura could probably tell you more about it. She's been here longer than I have. Have you met her?
video;
No, I don't think I have, though I have seen a post or two of hers.
