Video; merry musical event

[ The broadcast message is a live recording of an Aegis Force press conference, talking about their newest efforts to combat the OTO. Akobi's speech is professional, yet very boring. It is interrupted, however, by the beginning of some familiar (to some) music. Akobi looks up from his notes, exasperated. ]

Oh, what now? I didn't even say it this time!

[ One of the reporters from the crowd rushes the stage and grabs the microphone, making a booming announcement: ]

And now, the Crooked Commander of Battle Station DS-1, in his rendition of the medbay tango!

[ Akobi looks confused, but then something comes over him and he begins an elaborate dance number with the reporters acting as backup dancers. ]

Akobi:
I had it coming
I had it coming
I only had myself to blame
If you'd have been there
If you'd have seen it
I bet you you would have done the same

You know how people have these little habits that get you down?
Like the Rebels. The Rebels, they liked to interfere with my missions.
No, not interfere, ruin!
So I'm planning a bomb run on a Rebel ammo dump, trying to protect my home planet of Ralltiir,
And there's the Rebels, messing with my maps!
No, not messing with, sabotaging!
My team said they were ready to go ahead if I gave the order, so I did.
And then...I bombed a hospital.
I bombed a hospital ten times!

Chorus of reporters:
The dirty scum, scum, scum, scum, scum!
Oh what a bum, bum, bum, bum, bum!
They had it coming
They had it coming
They took a planet in it's prime
So he's Imperial? That's immaterial
It was a murder, but not a crime

Akobi:
I had it coming! (He had it coming)
I had it coming! (He had it coming)
I had it coming all along
An evil Empire? I'm not a new hire
How could you tell us that it was wrong
Could you tell us that it was wrong!

[ The musical number ends, and Akobi is left panting, alone on stage. His cheeks turn red and he makes one last grab for the microphone before running off stage. ]

This press conference is over!

003 ☂ yes, we're going to a party, party

[ For as much as Allison has to be reliant on the Mental Network, and she keeps some tabs on the Network, itself, she rarely ever finds herself starting anything on it. She's not even entirely now, though it still feels more like it. The Mental Network sees its use with her family, but she still hasn't adjusted to the Network, itself. The whole of it.

It's still uncomfortable, unless she has to. The sitting there, with the video screen on, watching them talk, and having to pause, making people wait. Which is why these invitations go out as pre-recorded. An image of herself, sitting ]

Hello, there.

My siblings and I have decided to throw a birthday party for ourselves for next Tuesday. October 1st. It's at our place in Nonah, in the evening. Food and desserts, etc. Presents aren't required in the slightest. Same with needing to bring anything. We're going to be overloaded on the spread as it is. Directions are attached if you'd like to come. RSVP's are head-count requested, but not required.
