the word of the day is "paranoia"
Who: Kirito / OTA
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Hiding out in engineering on the Paisley, if you so desire
When: Now!
[So, this is something he's been wondering - and eventually, seriously considering - for the last couple of months, mostly when they landed on Arslae and he realized how ill-equipped he is to deal with conflict. For most people, it would simply be a matter of avoiding fights. But for him... well. It's kind of all he's ever been good for.
Getting told that, hey, one of your crewmates is a murderer is more or less the last straw to break through his indecisive camel back.]
I have a question, mostly for whoever's gotten personal those personal augment upgrades you can buy, or at least thought about it. I'd really like to know- what's it like? Which did you choose? Why would you choose to get one- or why not? I mean, the people offering them up aren't exactly trustworthy, but they all sound pretty useful, too.
Basically, I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons. I'd appreciate the help.

action
It could be like a ship upgrade, and nothing happens, but I don't know enough to tell you.
action
[He is probably way too young to be this cynical, but that's life.]
action
While I'm thinking about it, have you asked Anakin or anyone else about sword lessons? [As much as they've trained together, there's only so much Stefan the fist-fighter can do.]
action
action
[He thinks. He's not exactly an expert when it comes to fighting with more than bare fists.]
I know Ahsoka was offering classes too, so you could ask her next time you're at the gym.
action
[Slowly but surely, he's starting to ease off on all that stress he's been feeling. It won't be gone entirely, but- this helps. It helps a lot, actually.]
Thanks. I guess I wasn't thinking as clearly about it all as I should be.
action
[He'd felt it in Tokyo too, right before he turned. Sure, the timing was convenient, but he wasn't exactly going to face a giant monster without powers.]
Let me know if those plans go through. We can cut back on our stuff, or switch it up a little, or... you know. Whatever works.
action
[He's not about to act ungrateful, after everything.]
action
[Most days, he doesn't even feel 168. Which makes sense, considering memory loss + reincarnation shenanigans, but sometimes, he feels more like a twenty-something than a hundred and sixty-something.]
action
How old are you, anyway?
action
[Stefan gives a shrug as he goes for another cookie.] But I was turned when I was twenty two.
action
[WHAT THE HECK STEFAN that was a bomb of knowledge.]
action
Surprise? [He rubs the back of his neck, not really sure what to do now...] I was turned in... 1864? Something like that.
action
[He's only 17! That many years is practically unfathomable.]
action
I remember bits of my childhood, and pieces here and there. Nothing fully concrete.
action
[Memory problems, always kind of an iffy area. He doesn't want to cause problems for his friends.]
action
[He shrugs, a little helplessly. Sometimes, Stefan thinks, he's better off not remembering.]
action
[But still- over a hundred and fifty years is amazing.]
So that's... young. For a vampire.
action
You've also got the newborns - the ones turned a year or two ago, but most tend to be significantly older.
action
[He's spent so much time in recent years trying not to die young that he hasn't given much thought to a long life. That sounds too long.]
action
action
[It would be sad, not having a long-term home, but he kind of likes the idea of being able to go where you please as a trade-off. The world is a big place, after all.]
action
[All in the past two years. Stefan's scarily well-traveled, given his age.]
Honestly, most of my travel's within the US. I didn't see much reason to leave.
