video; backdated to 10/28
[ Squint your eyes a little everyone, when the feed opens the camera catches the direct glare of the hot sun. Whoever is holding the communicator has it positioned at an odd angle, so the video captures clear blue skies, though the sound of the ocean can be heard with the occasional tropical bird cawing somewhere in the distance. The camera jolts without warning, dipping low enough to capture what appears to be a boat deck.
Off camera, Karen’s voice can be heard snappishly saying: ]
Are you still trying to take a selfie? Could you put that down for one second?
[ The camera jerks again, capturing an image of a chest that might be familiar to those of you who own the Booster Gold Mancalendar™ (you’re welcome). ]
Is it sooo wrong that I want to document this?
I guess we can document the part where I throw you off the boat.
You wouldn’t. There’s jellyfish in there! Probably. And besides, you never said there was a rule against selfies. It’s an American tradition.
Just try me, and Jesus, would you focus on steering the boat? [ Something splashes up beside the boat, seizing Karen’s attention for a moment. She groans loudly. ] We’re getting too close to those things.
Those things are Hawaiian squeaking sharks, and they’re our friends. Say cheese, guys!
[ The camera’s focus wobbles down off the side of the boat, zooming in on a group of splashing, smiling bottlenose dolphins, which are indeed getting very close. And then: a thump. ]
... oh, God. What was that?
Uh… maybe start guessing what it wasn’t and we’ll narrow it down…
[ The clicks and whistles of dolphins grow louder. If you happen to speak dolphin (or even if you don’t), they sound… pretty pissed. ]
MICHAEL.
WHAT? It was an accident!
[ The camera jerks again, horror movie shaky-cam style, as more dorsal fins rise from the water. Did you know dolphin pods can get really, really huge? Well, now you do. ]
Crap. Does anyone know how to say sorry in dolphin?
( ooc: red is karen and blue is booster! replies from karen will have the ID read as “karen starr”. booster's reads “booster gold,” but who cares. no dolphins were harmed in the making of this post. )

Yes, they're fine. Don't listen to him.
[ Oh god, maybe one of them isn't fine. ]

You sure? I don't understand dolphin noises but I'm very adept at telling when things are angry.

[ this is a lie, he's never had a driver's license in his life ]
Just— not a boat driver. Pilot? Captain.
no subject
So you're not really a boat driver and you're driving through what...waters with dolphins? Isn't that a crime somewhere?
I'd hate to be you.

action for booster
Why does everything with you always result in something stupid happening?!
no subject
Ow! I don't know! Why are you blaming me and not the dolphins?
no subject
I told you a million times to focus on steering!

It doesn't look like they'd be able to fit a person in those mouths.
