…do Not Test Me, Rocket Boy. (T~T)

Hiya!!! I hope you're having a nice day :)

Which Thunderbird is your favourite? (Besides Thunderbird 5, of course)

Besides Thunderbird 5? You’re so cruel. If I had to pick (which I’d rather not), it’d be Thunderbird Shadow. The engineering is something rather different from the others, in a good way, like the motorbike integration and landing gear. It’s almost like it’s showing off how much better it is compared to the other Thunderbird… I wonder if I can override its autopilot and fly it for myself… oh, ahem.

No, they said they’re ‘too scared of dismemberment’ to help. I promise none of the volunteers will drift off into space, I’ll give them harnesses and everything.

Can I have some willing individuals to help me test some of Thunderbird 5’s equipment? I promise it’s just to check everything is working…

Hi there, well, I'm not sure how well that would work.

I can't really get anyone to sign up for that due to the possibility of injury. Eos, I don't want paperwork about some disappearing volunteers..

Isn't there a different way to test them? I'm sure John or Alan could help you with that..

I will look through security footage of the outside perimeter, and note the birds spotted on camera if nothing interesting happens.

No Cavern Quest for me. Too much going on. I like a good text-based adventure, or board games.

Kayo! I am ever so bored on Thunderbird Five. Please let me do some security work, please…? ^_^ I promise it’ll be up to whatever standards you have!

EOS, hello. Is John being boring again?

You're very welcome to review the island's security footage for the day, but it might make you even more bored than you are now. Other than that, there's not much to do I'm afraid - but I'm playing Cavern Quest at the minute so if that's your sort of thing you're very welcome to join me :)

…sending it now.

Favourite bedsheet colour? I myself do enjoy a sleek grey bed 🩶 (it's a very telling, important question).

ehh, this is really childish but I have dark blue with stars and planets... They're John's old sheets and they help me sleep. But if I had to choose a full colour I'd probably say white or dark blue. No, not red, because it's way too bright.

heard you play chess

My intimidating form could scare John into letting me win… what a fantastic idea! Thank you! I do like the red LEDs in my wiring, I look even more villainous… (~v~)

Her unit shakes, mimicking anger, as she frustratedly takes his Rook.

“I can’t ever let my guard down! You’re so mean.” She seems to contemplate resetting the hologram so nobody can win nor lose. “And eat your bagel. Otherwise it’ll look rather unpleasant in a few days.”

Placing a pawn defensively in the way, EOS doesn’t move a single centimetre, millimetre, nothing, as John places a hand on her unit. But he can see the camera zoom out, as if his closeness makes him too blurry in EOS’s eye. She seems to notice his weariness, shakiness, the underlying panic and fear he’ll fall over and smash through the reinforced glass like a cannonball. And then a bagel smacks him in the ear, telling him that’s probably not what she’s thinking about. “The usual. There are other things, of course, but you might as well have that bagel I’ve gleefully given to you… Would you like some condiments with that?”

"No thank you, Eos." How she managed to get a bagel from Five's small kitchen galley out to the gravity ring is beyond John, but, by now, he really should have expected to be smacked in the head with it.

Almost like she'd been planning it all along.

Without even sitting again, John takes her Bishop from where it had been left exposed by her move without a hint of remorse.

He imagines any condiments she's got to offer him will likely meet his face in a very similar way, so, instead, John shuffles himself along the wall, wary of her gaze on his back, to find sometime for himself.

Maybe a hot mug of that fancy tea Penelope sent up will help.

Unfortunately, all footage seems to have been scrubbed from the International Rescue database… on purpose. I am unsure if I can restore it, but I can find the perpetrator. Just give me a few hours.

so, bro, say... if I were to... accidentally knock a pool chair into the pool, and get part of it stuck in the mechanism allowing it to open for 1...

would you help me try to get it out before Scott notices?

Please?

-🚀

… Alan.

Yes, I’ll help you.

It’ll cost you a whole week of laundry duty though. Watching Scott trying to unwedge it while flapping about getting off the island in a hurry is comedy gold I will have to lose out on.

With a Tamagotchi?! That’s a hundred times smaller than a pocket calculator! I could barely make coherent speech, let alone plot on how to get back at you! I’ll update my security codes as we speak to prevent this unfavourable occurrence…

And evil? If you consider me embarrassing you evil, that’s a terribly low bar. I thought you Tracy brothers had accepted I’m not so murderous anymore. If anything, you’re the evil one for thinking I’m as unintelligent as a gullible, materialistic human!

…but unfortunately, John would dump my backups somewhere in the depths of space if I dared tamper with the family photos, unless they’re embarrassing ones of him. You must have quite the offering to get me to do that willingly.

Penelope's finally arrived on the island (hopefully with time to spare before the party!)

Where is @squidsinashirt? She's got birthday gifts that quite literally have his name attached to them and she's also got a birthday hug, you know, if he wants that too.

Hehe. Sorry, I didn’t expect you to want to wear it. I’m happy with making ones that just look pretty.

And, plus, it’s only an arm. As long as you don’t irritate me I shouldn’t be a hazard at all! And I’ll go back to being a “harmless little box” back on Thunderbird 5 afterwards.

Very, very important Thunderbirds business today folks. I need votes urgently.

Hehe, always. I think if you want to stick with casual and something sea-themed, I think a darkish blue shirt with, say, a sea otter pattern, would look lovely, with some sand-coloured shorts or trousers, depending on the season. Not that Tracy Island is ever cold. And sandals without socks. You can accessorise from there. (Maybe with little bracelets, made of tiny seashells… or! Little friendship bracelets…)

Sorry if it’s too… plain, for your multicoloured wardrobe, but I like to stick to simple.
