video | SUPER TOUGH
Who: Takeshi
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Marsiva!
When: NOW!!!
[Takeshi wakes up with bad cotton mouth and a moment where forgets things -- forgets he was in a jungle last he saw, forgets the Tranquility had crashed, forgets that the people he saw as parents were long-since gone. He rolls tiredly, his baggy (now perfectly mended) sweater dragging on one hand, the sleeve still a bit too long. First thing he does is try to grab a glass of water that would have been on the desk in his room. Aboard an entirely different ship. A ship that no longer exists in space.
He blinks wide awake, sitting up straight.
The first thing he notices is that he's barefoot.
The second thing he notices is that his powersuit is gone. He pulls his sweater practically over his head in his haste, gasping aloud at the pale belly and its pal, the belly button, that greets him -- it' gone! It's gone, it's gone, it's gone! Where? When? Who, how? He looks around wildly, anxious. Was he... kidnapped? All over again? No... it couldn't be.
It's like when they kidnapped humans, on earth. But hopefully less blood.
There were people trying to kidnap them off the Tranquility, too. He remembers that.
Summoning his courage, he does what he learned from his adoptive mother. He bullshits, live on camera, at the screen. He's familiar with how network devices work enough, after all. He knows everyone should be able to see this. He puts on his most serious expression, which is admittedly pretty good for someone who is the size of a five-year-old.]
The person who kidnapped me.... they'd better show their face!
I-if you try to mess with me... I'll... I'll...
I'll kick your fucking ass!!
[Thank his adoptive parents and weird uncle for the choice of words. He puffs out his chest, making a fist. But really, he's kind of scared. Like, a lot scared. He only went without his special superhero powersuit when he broked his leg fighting in the ship before. He couldn't wear it over the cast, then. But now... now he's just... he's normal. He's not a good teammate. He's not good at fighting like this. And it's...
Terrifying.
But he'll keep a straight, determined face. He won't let them know he's scared.
He used to always show how scared he was, when he was living with his real mom. But not no more.
Even if he doesn't have his strength and speed... He's a fighter. He'll... He'll figure out something!]
If you're aliens... then... then my dad'll come find you, too!
And then we'll both kick your ass!
[... Anyone on the Marsiva, feel free to see him peeking around the corner to suspiciously watch you just about anywhere on the ship. That, or find him making himself a peanut butter and raspberry jam sandwich in the kitchens. All that threatening made his nerves convert to hunger.]

[PRAY TELL, WHY WOULD THEY NOT LISTEN.]
Or do I gotta be louder?
video;
Yes, you should be louder. And more vulgar. They'll be sure to hear then.
video;
You should join me. Then they'll here us super good!
video;
I dare not take your moment of glory. They should hear it from you and you alone.
video;
What's glory? How come I want it?
[You're distracting him from his intense cursing, but this seems crucial to know, sir.]
video;
Glory is the honor you win for achieving something. By being the one to get their attention, you'll have earned a great deal of glory.
[ He assumes. People seemed to imply that the showrunners don't answer to people too often. ]
video;
I don't really care 'bout getting honor! I just wanna get everyone home.
We should help each other get there.
video;
[ Theon, this is a child. Do not try to force your gloryhounding onto a child. ]
You're not going to be able to get everyone home if the people pulling the strings won't listen. Go on, then. Speak up so they'll hear.
video;
[He doesn't get it at all. But whatever!]
I'm gonna go yell at them some more! Let me know if you hear anything important!
