Who: Sousuke!
Broadcast: Video!
Action: Caprine!
When: 1/18!

[hello, flooters. sousuke is setting up the video on the console of the caprine, and sitting back in his pilot's chair. he looks a little tense. when he speaks, his naturally low voice is just as stiff.]

... It's nice to meet you all. My name is Yamazaki Sousuke, and I was recently brought aboard the SS Caprine as a co-pilot. I... am still not sure why I was chosen to be here, after seeing many of you on the planet we were on, or on the Iskaulit, but since I've been told there's no way home, I will... do what I can to be of use in this fleet.

[he's going to bow his head lightly.

[and then turn off the feed.

[fuck that was awkward.]

[ wow that really was awkward, but nanako just chalks it up to newcomer nerves. she was pretty awkward in her first post too.

so when she replies, it's with a bright and encouraging smile. ]

Hi, Sousuke-san! I'm Nanako Dojima, lab support on the SS Three Twins. It's nice to meet you too!

You don't have to be useful. I mean, it's a good thought, but-- don't think your inclusion or worth depends on how useful you are.

[noiinteam]

[who let a baby be a doctor]

Ah... You work on the ships, too? How old are you?

[why]

[noiinteam]

It's not that. I don't think wasting space would make this go any smoother.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Suit yourself. The time rather does start to stretch out. I've been here three months, and at times it feels more like six.

[ He comes wandering into the room like a minute after the broadcast. He has his comm out and is fiddling with it, for some arcane engineering reason or another. ]

Huh, so you're the new person? I guess we're finally balancing out on the humans to nonhumans ratio.

[ ....Ominous.. ]

[kotatsu]

Yeah, I've been working since I got here two months ago.

[ that's what she's been asking since she got here tbh. ]

Um, I'm seven now. How old are you?

[noiinteam]

[SEVEN. SHE'S SEVEN. SHE'S A DOCTOR AND SHE'S SEVEN AND HE'S SEVENTEEN AND HAS NO DREAMS.]

... S-seventeen.

[noiinteam]

Is there not much to do here?

[noiinteam]

[he glances over his shoulder at the person entering the room, and finds himself staring a bit. it's okay, sousuke. you've seen this now.]

... Yeah. I guess so. Are there that few humans in the fleet?

[kotatsu]

Oh! Seventeen? You're as old as big bro!

[electrostatics]

[ he seems amused by the staring, at least. ]

I mean on this ship. There's plenty of humans overall, so I'm sure you'll get along fine.

Don't think about why Atroma chooses people too much, by the way. There's no real algorithm for that, I don't think. You'll just be chasing your tail. [ And as funny as that is, it's really unproductive. ]

[noiinteam]

Your brother is here?

[kotatsu]

Uh-huh! Well, he's not really my brother, he's my cousin. But he's really nice and treats me like I'm his sister. His name's Souji!

[iwatobi]

[Blink blink. Hey, that's--]

Sousuke.

[noiinteam]

I figured if there was one, it was pretty obscure, if they brought me.

[he shrugs.]

So, your name?

vid.

[noiinteam]

... Haruka?!

[WHAT.]

When did you get here?

vid.

[iwatobi]

A while ago. [Of all people to be here... I mean, they did make up and stuff. But damn. Of all people.]

I didn't know you were here.

OH ARE YOU THE OTHER PILOT （ʃƪ＾3＾) ｡ﾟ+.✧♡

MY FRIEND JOJO IS A PILOT ON THE CAPRINE TOO, IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU!! σ(≧ε≦ｏ)

[firstrebel]

To be fair, there doesn't really seem to be any rhyme or reason behind bringing any of us here. So, you're not alone in that.

[ At least some of them are familiar with space travel? There really isn't any pattern that Hera can discern. ]

There sure are a lot of humans, though.

[noiinteam]

Souji... I'll keep that in mind.

How long have you been here, Nanako?

vid.

[noiinteam]

How long is "a while ago"? [dammit haru]

I didn't know you were.

[iwatobi]

[He's about to be petulant... but he sighs and decides to cooperate.] A week and a half... something like that.

I'm on the Vanquish. I cook.

[noiinteam]

Yeah. I've seen him. He's the first mate, too.

[ragazzina]

Mmhmm, that's right! Ahh, I'm meeting so many people on my friends' ships, it's so nice! I'm Suzie, I'm one of the engineers on the Bloodsport! My captain is the other engineer, so there's always a lot going on, haha!

It's so nice to meet you!
