002 - Take your protein pills and put your helmet on ; video

[geonomy]

Who: Clay Terran and all of YOU!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Vanquish, bridge
When: 6/29, afternoon

[When the video comes on, Clay's looking at it with a big, excited grin on his face that seems to only increase in wattage once he realizes it's on. He sits back on his heels then, arms wrapped around his knees, though they probably won't stay like that for long.]

I haven't been here very long, but I've still met so many people with such cool powers! [And, indeed, he begins to gesture and lean forward as he describes each power.] Super strength, fighting with magic cards, reality bending, and flight! I never even knew those kinds of things were possible outside of comic books and tv shows!

[He rocks back again, arms winding around his knees once more as he seems to calm just a bit.]

So tell me about your powers. What are they like? Is it natural to you, or do you... I don't know, have to call on something in order to make it happen? And for you people who don't have powers, like me, what kind do you wish you had? [And the thought of it just makes him move once more, arms out and gesturing.] If I could have powers, I'd have flight, the ability to breathe anywhere I wanted, and super durability. Or maybe - maybe adaptability? That way I could go into space any time I wanted without getting into a heavy suit!

[... Aaand calm again.] So, yeah. Powers? I really want to know. It's of astronomical importance.

[And here he was about to jump on that and ask to see it, but - oh nooo, tampered with?!]

Whoa, what? What happened to it?

[ATROMA IS A JERK IT'S TRUE......]

Well it's still built into my arm like before and everything! But now it's

they made it shoot...definitely not what it normally shoots, just

[oh my god in retrospect this is still so embarrassing help him]

confetti. It's only shooting confetti right now! And that's not very scary at all! It's no good...

[geonomy]

But hey, confetti's still more than what a lot of people can do! And it'd definitely cheer someone up - or uh, catch someone off guard if you're in a battle setting. You know, if that's what you're going for. [Ever the optimist, this guy. But. This is also an opportunity.]

... I guess you could say you're

-armed- with confetti?

[recopy]

I don't know, trying to cheer up people by shooting at them with an armcannon still seems a bit rude, even if it's only confetti. I guess it does make this really loud popping sound when I fire it though....two seconds of surprise?? Maybe if I get them right in the face or

[NO HOLD UP

OH MY GOD


wow this is some next level punning HE WAS NOT...PREPARED......]

[recopy]

[Honestly the delay is so long that it almost seems as if he's dropped the conversation entirely--but then, because well, there's only one thing left to do after a pun like that--]

No, yeah, you're right! That's true. I guess some people might give an arm and a leg to have a cannon like mine anyway!

[SOMEBODY STOP THIS THREAD]

1/3

[geonomy]

[Truth be told, Clay did think the conversation was dropped, or that something happened to make him stop typing. So, after a pause, he writes something as well.]

hey, everything ok over there? did I lose you?

[geonomy]

[But, of course, as soon as he sends it, he gets that, and oh my god.

MOON AND STARS.

He has to stare for a second before he just tips back and laughs, because that was just the best thing ever holy shit.]

[geonomy]

[And after a moment - ]

wow, thats a pretty big step for them to make! That's not something you cannon-do!

[THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND]

It's a sort of weapon that's not for everybody, for sure. It does make you look like you're ready for any kind of fight! And you might end up as somebody else's cannon fodder, if you're not careful...

[but ok no really now HE FEELS LIKE HE'S MET HIS MATCH....this conversation must have been meant to be. friendship is in the air. which, obviously, means--]

But anyway! Man I'm sorry, I got kind of sidetracked and forgot my manners. You said your name's Clay, right? Mine is Megaman! It's nice to meet you.
