seriously, there are so many dudes on this ship

[clownshoes]

Who: everyone on the SS Slashbait SS Bloodsport!
Broadcast: none.
Action: mingle post ; closed to SS Bloodsport crew.
When: pretty much anytime today!

[ So, a week after the SS Bloodsport has gotten itself a capacity upgrade, it's gotten a new pilot! This calls for some quality time together, checking in with the captain, and generally doing whatever the heck you wanna do.

And don't worry! The pilot definitely knows what he's doing. :) ]

Yep! I got it. [ He carefully navigates his way over, grabbing the box and placing it in Robin's hand. ]

How'd you blow the fuse?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I just plugged in one too many things, that's all... Ah, thank you.

[the box disappears under the engine. he starts digging one out to replace the busted one.]

I don't know if these ships have been used before, or if they came out of the box this way... But it seems like something around here is always breaking. I was trying to re-insulate the flux channels to see if I could get us to stay in warp longer... but, looks like that'll eat right through the breakers...

[...you know. Engineer babble.]

[clownshoes]

Uh...right. I dunno much about ships that aren't made of gummi blocks.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

What are gummi blocks?

[he switches something, and... oh, the lights are coming back on! most of them. a couple might still be dead...]

[clownshoes]

You got it! [ sora squats down near where robin is, chin in his hands. ] And gummi blocks are what the ship is made out of! They're really colorful. Buuuut you can't eat 'em even though they're called 'gummi'.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[pfft, he laughs--it echoes into the engine.]

Yeah? Do you know that from personal experience?

[clownshoes]

Well if you name it after something candy-ish you should expect some to try!

[ yes. yes he does. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Haha, jeez... I guess someone's gotta.

[a happy little hum as he shoves something into place--and the rest of the lights come back up.]

Hey, Sora, I wanted to ask you something.

[clownshoes]

Yeah? Shoot.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

You've known Riku a long time, right?

[as he squirms out from under the engine. phew.]

[clownshoes]

Yep! Practically since the day I was born.

[ he seems so proud of it, too. ]

Why?
