Who: Hinata Shouyou
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Heron
When: 8/31, at night


[the video pops on in the heron's bunk room, propped up on what can be assumed to be a pillow. hinata sits on his bed, and for the first time, he's decided to address the network. he never really knew how to go about it before, but now he has a reason to try.

[he's sitting with his knees up, a volleyball in his lap and his hands on top of that. his face is tucked just a bit behind it, adding to the illusion that he's smaller than he appears. for those of his shipmates, and those who know him, he seems... significantly subdued. when he speaks, it's apparent why.]

What do you guys do when you're homesick?

[ Hey, it's that kid from the beach. Allen recognizes the tell-tale signs the kid is showing here. Truth is, the main thing Allen does is watch recordings on Timcanpy...but he guesses the kid doesn't have that option. So time to go for the other trick. ]

Well...sometimes I write letters to my friends who aren't here. Even if they probably won't see them, it's like I'm talking to them, you know?

[lightweight]

Ah! It's you!

[i might have forgotten your name]

... That's not a bad idea. I should find paper!

[DO WE EVEN HAVE PAPER IN SPACE]

[save_the_souls]

Allen.

[Will remind you into ETERNITY]

Ha- you might have to get some from a waystation if you haven't gotten some already.

[lightweight]

Allen!

[repetition is key]

A waystation... How much do you think it'll cost? I haven't checked how much money I have...

[at all. since getting here.]

[save_the_souls]

It can't be that much- maybe a few credits?

But really? You haven't checked at all? [Checks his account MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY]

[lightweight]

I haven't needed anything!

[we have free food even if it sucks... and water... and other drinks... and he has a volleyball...]

[save_the_souls]

At all?

[Man, talk about a money saver]

Well...then I'm sure you have some funds. I mean, unless you've spent the past several weeks asleep.

[deshabille]

Try to do things that remind me of people back home. Or things that would make them proud of me.

[lightweight]

No, just practicing, mostly!

[he seems pretty okay with how he's spent the last month.]

... How much longer 'til we're on another planet..?

[lightweight]

I think I've been doing that... I've been practicing really hard, even without the team! But I still want to go home and see them...

[deshabille]

You have pictures or anything?

[save_the_souls]

Practising Volleyball, you mean?

[That's pretty devoted!]

Um...could be anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. It's hard to say.

[lightweight]

Not a lot... I had a couple on my phone, but that's all I had with me when I got here!

[deshabille]

Someone here might be a good artist. You could have them sketch something for you, maybe.

[lightweight]

What else is there?

[obsessed, more like]

Aww! [he presses his face into the volleyball. he needs sunlight!! blue skies and fresh air!!!]

[lightweight]

... Wouldn't that be kind of creepy?

[having a drawing of kageyama.... would be terrifying...]

[deshabille]

Would it? We don't have photography where I come from, so it's just sort of. Normal.

[save_the_souls]

Non-Volleyball activities...?

[lightweight]

What's the point in those?

[lightweight]

Woah! Really? So are you from the past?

[deshabille]

Er, possibly. I'm not from Earth, though, so it might not be equivalent.

[save_the_souls]

A lot of things! [UNLIKE HITTING A BALL AROUND]

Honestly, maybe you should consider finding things to do besides volleyball.

[lightweight]

[!!!]

HUOOOAAA!!! Really?! What's your world like?

[deshabille]

Round and flat, and carried on the backs of four elephants, which ride a giant space turtle.

[.....THIS IS 100% TRUE.]

[lightweight]

[HE LOOKS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN CONFUSED AND OFFENDED

[WHAT DO I EVEN SAY TO THAT????]
