Who: Takeshi
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Golden
When: Today!

[Takeshi's very focused this month; he's been trying to keep things in line and work on being a good captain! Gendry is super annoying and he's got a weird triangle man in his ship apparently (and a blue lady, but what's new), but hey! New people! Gotta make good impressions. He moves to comment on the fleet's feed, partly toward his crew at first, but then to people at large. It's a little funny, because he's got crayons and papers around, kids drawings hung up in the background, which is a bit funny in contrast to his serious expression.]

Hi! I'm Takeshi of the SS Golden! I was just made captain; I'll do my best t'be a good captain, even if I never been one before. I don't wanna let Miss Hera down.

I was gonna ask people on the Golden if they wanna help make the ship nicer; I'm gonna use some of my money - I don't use my money for a lot of stuff... and I can make things a little better, especially the kitchen...! If you can help work on parts of the ship so we can get better and better stuff, let me know! We can make it a kitchen with more things in it, or more shuttles, or more room...

... We don't got any pilots, which is kinda bad. We can't pilot things as good without pilots. But we got a lab and lots of guns!

Make sure you got a gun and you practice with it, make sure you're real good with your aim and you know how to carry it!

[He thinks that's good enough.

To the remainder of the fleet, he has an inquiry!]

I know I still got a lot t'learn! Do you guys got anything to say for someone trying to be a good captain?

I don't wanna let my team down. Advice makes us all better people!

[oh my goodness it is so tiny and adorable and that is her new captain.

Teenagers are one thing, tiny children are absolutely another]

It is rather admirable that you are seeking advice so soon; I think that is the sign of a good captain already.

...!!

Thanks, miss! You're one of the new people on my ship, huh?

[He really should go find you for, idk, a handshake. But this works!]

Even a captain needs advice sometimes; nobody knows everything.

You are quite welcome. [she can't help but smile] And I am, yes.

[she has such a weakness for children, he could come shake her hand and he'd be one of a handful of people who'd get away with it]

That is very true. Those who believe they do know it all often do not make very good leaders, I have found.

That's 'cus they don't listen to anything and they miss the important stuff. People who try to be on their own do it, too... They leave thinking they can do everything by themself, and it means they're not gonna live real long.

[The apartment... Well. A lot of snobby, awful, or otherwise rude people from the apartment would go out on their own thinking they'll be alright -- Takeshi never saw those people again. He figures that their brains probably exploded.

But that's not real nice conversation, huh?]

What kinda' augment did you get?

[it's a little frightening how accurate that is, especially coming from someone so young, but Tempest knows better than to underestimate someone based merely on their age or appearance. And it isn't as though she wasn't young when she learned how cruel the world was, either]

Either that or they find themselves forced into working with others. [she tips her head] On that, I speak from experience.

And I am tactical support. Whatever that may mean, as I have been told it is not necessary?

Who says it's not important? Everyone's jobs are important!

You just gotta be ready in case bad things happen; you gotta be ready to stop the bad guys.

Oh, you needn't worry about that. I am always prepared for - ah, the bad guys.

Did you fight a lot of bad guys before?

In a matter of speaking, yes. People would hire me for protection or to . . . deal with bad guys.

[technically it's not a lie, she's just leaving out the part where she considers herself a bad guy, too]

Oh wow...! So then you're real tough, huh??

I suppose that is one way to look at it, yes. I am - ah, quite tough.

What kinda fighting do you do?

I usually throw people real hard!

You must be very strong.

I am skilled with a sword and some hand-to-hand. But I prefer to use my magic most of the time.

I'm okay... I'm not super strong, but I do alright...

[His dad is way cooler and tougher. But wait!]

Whoa!! A sword! I knew someone who liked swords.

What kinda magic do you use?

Mm, well, you are stronger than I am. I cannot throw people.

[why is this child adorable]

Ohh? Swords are rather popular. Unfortunately, they took mine away.

And I use all sorts of magic, depending on the situation. I tend to prefer fire magic, though.

They're real jerks. They took my power suit away, but I just got it back from the tree. Maybe if you ask the tree real nice, it'll give you your swords back!

[...]

But fire magic sounds pretty cool, too. Do you use it to bake pies?

I am glad you were able to get it back, but . . . what tree are you speaking of?

[. . . gosh. Gosh]

I have used it to start fires for cooking? But I have never baked a pie before. [...] Perhaps that is something we can try? I know a man who can bake rather well.

It's a giving tree! If you go to it, sometimes if gives you stuff.

Maybe you can ask for a baked pie from it...

...

But I'd really like to try and make one with you, though.

Oh, I see. Perhaps I will try to find it, then.

. . .

[. . . noooo she can't hold out]

I will speak to my friend, then, so that we can do it properly, yes?

Yeah! Yeah, I wanna make some pie! And then we can have a pie party.

Then that is what we will do.
