Who: Tadashi & you!
Broadcast: TEXT - Fleetwide.
Action: SS Bishop
When: 5/31

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm curious: how many of you received augments that aligned with what your interests were at home? My brother and I are both really into robotic engineering, but he's an engineer and I ended up with lab support. Considering that the last big project I finished was a nursebot, I can't help but feel like Atroma's playing a joke on me. :P

Other than that... any guesses what our next stop is gonna be like? I'll buy lunch for whoever guesses it right.

Oh, it's Tadashi Hamada, by the way, on the SS Bishop. Guess I haven't really made an actual broadcast since getting here.

[ aaand he will just be chilling in the med bay, as usual, if anyone on his ship needs to find him. ]

[ Definitely not laughing about how this is a text broadcast and not a video or audio ... definitely not. ]

I don't know why you think it's so unsuitable for you. I think it's perfect.

Not really a guess, but I hope there's a beach. It's almost summer now, after all.

[ishere]

I didn't say unsuitable! It's just not what I would have picked if I'd had the choice, I guess. Honestly, I'm still really glad to have it.

And yeah. An actual beach would be pretty nice.

You already know all of the engineering stuff, so it's kind of like cheating and having two, if you ask me. :P

The castle used to have this room that was an actual beach on Tuesdays and Thursdays, all year round. I can't believe I actually kind of miss that.

[ishere]

And you're not cheating with your medic powers? :p

But nah, it's different. I'm not able to pick up on things like I used to be.

[ino]

Hey, there's plenty of stuff I can't do either.

What do you mean?

Text;

[ishere]

A lot of the mechanical stuff on this ship should be cake for me, but it's not. Maybe it's just a side-effect of being dead, lol.

[ HE'S. TRYING SO HARD. TO MAKE THIS A JOKING, CASUAL THING, don't hurt him ino. ]

I'm not worried about it, it's just something I've noticed.

[ino]

[ SHE DOESN'T LIKE THIS JOKE. She stares at the screen for a moment, concerned, but -- ]

Okay first of all, what is a "lol"?

Text;

[ishere]

[ uh..... oh....... ]

It stands for "laugh out loud." It just usually means whatever came before it was funny, or a joke.

Text;

[ino]

Got it.

[ She'll be nice and lock the rest of this to just him so the rest of the fleet doesn't see ... her ... getting on his case LMFAO. It's his death, and how he copes with it is his decision -- after all, humor is a pretty common coping mechanism. But ... ]

[ Tadashi; ]

Did you actually laugh at that?

Text - locked

[ishere]

[ tadashi is a dumbass. ]

No, of course not. It's just a way to convey tone. That's all.

Text - locked

[ino]

I don't understand. If it's not funny, then why does it have a funny tone?

[ Though, even as she sends it, she figures maybe it's a cultural difference, or .. something? Anyways, the more important issue at hand: ]

Either way, what do you mean you're not worried about it? If the chip is making you bad at things that is definitely a thing to worry about.

[ishere]

I was just trying to make it clear that I wasn't being serious, Ino, that's all.

And it's not making me bad at things, but... I think it's just because I'm not an engineer. It's not my "role." It makes sense, as much as I hate that.

[ino]

[ HUFFS ... ]

Okay, okay, fine.

But I'm not lab support and I still know how to heal people just fine. Nothing changed about that.

[ She pauses ... ]

I just don't want anything bad to be happening to you. Especially if it's something I could fix.

[ishere]

I don't want anything bad to happen to me, either. Trust me: I'll tell you if I ever think something is up.

[ino]

You didn't tell me about this until right now!

[ishere]

Because I don't think anything is up!

[ino]

[ "Somebody could saw your leg off and you wouldn't think anything was up, Tadashi."

... She types it out, and then deletes it. Maybe she's just fretting too much ... :( ]

But it's what you like to do. That's important.

[ishere]

There are a lot of things I like to do, Ino. And I still get to do it. :) Relax, I promise it's alright.

[ino]

[ You said your favorite thing about yourself was that you can build shit and do engineering things Tadashi. SHE IS NOT FULLY CONVINCED. ]

Promise you'll tell me if it gets worse.

[ Because seriously if Atroma is slowly eating away at them like Paradisa was she's going to drive her ship into the Marsiva and explode ]

[ishere]

Cross my heart.

[ he'll omit the 'hope to die' part. :') ]

[ino]

[ APPRECIATED. ]

Okay. Good.

[ ... And now she feels a little awkward for getting so gung-ho about it, looking back on what she just said, so ... ]

Sorry.

[ishere]

For what?

[ IT'S KIND OF AWKWARD but also really touching and sweet. ]

I like that you look out for me.

[ino]

[ Aww ...

She pauses, because she's not actually sure how to word this at first ]

I just feel like I have a lot of hangups about things and you're over there being totally normal and not weird.

[ Not that her fears are without reason, but ... ]

[ishere]

Joke's on you. I'm always weird. :) It's fine, Ino, relax.

[ino]

Believe me, you are not weird.

[ ... And then, because she feels like he should get some kind of explanation: ]

The castle ... the longer you were there, the more it took from you. Like, memories and skills and stuff.

[ She types "If that were the case here", but ... she doesn't really know how to finish that sentence, because she has no idea what she would actually do, so it just gets deleted ]
