[boymeetsfatherhood]

Who: The crew of the Huntress and any visitors!
Broadcast: None
Action: The Huntress!

[Aside from hijinks on the beach planet, the crew has a few things to get used to. The departure of one captain, the abrupt promotion of another, plus new crew members. Let's see how things go...]

How did you get more?! And that's still not 'all', right?

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

When I came here... It's not.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

None of this makes any sense...

Still, Lark. You know he'll find out eventually, right?

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

Maybe so. Maybe not. And if he does...

[ then she'll just have to leave. ]

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

If he does...?

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

...Then I won't belong here on this ship.

-- Lark!

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

What?

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

You know that isn't true.

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

But I'm not really Riley anymore.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

And I'm not Aiya anymore. Do you really think I won't have a place to belong with Yura and Araj anymore?

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

...That's different.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

How is it different?

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

I'd never seen anything bad before, you had.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

That doesn't matter. Your family isn't like mine. They love you. You'll always belong with them.

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

I know that... It's just, I don't think I can be that Riley anymore. And they love that Riley.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

They love you. No matter who you are.

Re: visitor

[ shuffles with her skirt. ]

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

... Come with me. We're finding him.

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

...I don't like that idea.

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

IF you won't believe it from me, you'll hear it directly from him.

[And if he doesn't give the right answer I WILL KICK HIS ASS.]

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

[ ...glances around

hides beneath her hair. like that does anything. ]

Re: visitor

[experiencepoints]

[Holds out her hand...]

Re: visitor

[ofbelief]

[ internally screaming forever, but takes her hand ]

[There's a dad standing in the nearest doorway. How long has he been there? It's hard to tell, but it looks like he's very confused by whatever he's heard.]

Hey... What's going on here?
