Who: Otto Hellinger + OPEN
Broadcast: fleetwide video
Action: y for Huntress
When: current

[Video;]
[When the video pops up, the slightly diminutive-appearing young human transmitting is right up in it, peering. So there's an uncomfortable half-second of face, before he sits back, scratching his head and looking a little sheepish.

He's been hiding out, essentially, since his arrival. Watching, irritated and paranoid, for signs of dangers that, in his opinion, he's already had his fair share of. He'd worked hard for his chance at peace and quiet, after all. It seemed a little insulting to get otherwise, and in such a baffling fashion, out of nowhere. But it's going to do him no good to be elusive, so here he is, and he puts on a big smile to make the mood.]


Oh, okay, that's going. So, uh, hi! After some studious observation you all might like to know that I, in my infinite good will, have determined that you're all not, in fact, murderous mad scientists. Most of you, anyway. Probably. So in the name of foreign relations I figure I should introduce myself to the masses. The name's Otto Hellinger, veteran hero of justice, at your service. I'll be taking applications for sidekicks at any time.

[Action, Huntress;]

[After scurrying about being as hard to spot as possible for the last few days, there's now a ??kid?? with a flashy dyed red streak in his hair lounging in the bridge, sitting sideways in the pilot's chair, looking at everything without actually touching. He's short, but well-built, not quite stocky but obviously fit, and while his body language is lazy his eyes are sharp.]

Space, huh... You're gonna go way faster than a CTC transport.

Sidekicks, huh? How do we know you're not the murderous mad scientist?

[ there's no malice or actual concern in her face. she's just making conversation, even as she lifts one hand to half-wave at him. ]

It's nice to meet you, Otto. I'm Katara.

I'd say it sounds like you're limiting yourself a lot, but I guess that's not the case when you live on a spaceship. So you're pretty familiar with this kind of technology?

[Oh. More kids on the ship. Great. Cullen clears his throat as he steps in.]

Our new pilot, I presume?
serves: (all the more for that)

[Mr. Serious here doesn't seem to find that funny.]

Depends on which of the two you are, I suppose.
serves: (all the voices in my mind)

Your name? [He's not really encouraging confidence.]

[ A woman, feline blue and certain in attitude, strolls over. ]

I know not what a CTC transport is, but I do presume you are our pilot? Else I hope you know how to fly such an airship before you begin.

Wow, your good will.

What a great and valuable commodity from a self-professed hero. [ Can you hear how much he cares in his voice, Otto?

He sounds incredibly bored...

You've got a pretty big ego, kid. You got anything to back it up?

[ There's a needling sort of edge to that. Oh my god Elecman no don't rile up a teenager that just got here ]

My name's Elecman. Don't need to ask your name.
electrostatics: to make you look like a good person (i'm not telling lies about you)

[personal profile] electrostatics 2015-10-21 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Good, you worked it out. Didn't even have to tell you that one.

What, only once? [ Now he's just being a piece of shit. But seriously, the kid hero he knows isn't nearly as bad on the bragging thing. He just wants to be a normal navi. ]

Too bad, kid. We all have places to be. You're not alone in that.
electrostatics: i've never felt so free (my conscience stopped working.)

[personal profile] electrostatics 2015-10-21 09:51 am (UTC)(link)
You look like a kid to me. Kid. [ Elecman, no.... ]

They want us for an intergalactic reality tv show, so I'd say that makes them pretty rude. And not likely to care about what we want, beyond placating us occasionally.

[Well, seeing a new person isn't much of a surprise, but... He might be more surprised to see another catgirl, this one in full plate armor.]

What is a "CTC transport"?

... You think there are murderous mad scientists here?
