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.]

It's smarter to stop and think before you default to violence. You may end up picking fights that you regret, or pushing people away that could be helpful allies to you or your relatives.
[video] 1/2
[video]
Did you kidnap me, or are you a creepy-looking person they kidnapped?
[video]
The second one. Take a slow breath that fills the entirety of your lungs, count to three in your head, then exhale. It'll calm your panic.
[video]
[He breathes in, breathes out.]
Maybe you're a good kinda' creepy. I have some teammates like that back home. Like Mr. Nishi.
Do you know how we can stop the Atroma?
[video]
I'd prefer it if you stopped trying to describe me. [ FIRST OFF ]
And stop them from doing what, exactly?
[video]
Do we gotta crash the big computers? Or maybe we gotta find the weird ghosts. Or... or gods! Because sometimes people with powers like that wanna be gods in front of everyone else. It makes them a bad guy.
[He called one a cunt back in his last space ship.
It was a pretty big day, his cursing adoptive family were very proud.]
[video]
You're not going to 'kick anyone's fucking ass' by making threats and having a disorganized tantrum. What's your name?
[video]
Takeshi just breathes in and out once and keeps going, unrelenting.].
I'm Takeshi! Who're you? Are you Japanese? You look Japanese.
[video]
... it's complicated. Assume that if you have to.
My name is Uchiha Sasuke.
[video]
we're homies, japanese pride]
Hi, Sasuke! You're a fighter, aren'tcha? I can tell.
[video]
That's quite an assumption so soon. Why would you say that?
[video]
You talked about fighting! And not scaring allies. And you know how to breathe right so you don't panic. That means you probably know super cool breathing fighting styles...!
I think you're good at knowing when to kick someone's ass or not.
[..... He points to the camera.]
And you got a missing arm, too.
I broked my leg once. Fighters get hurt bad sometimes.
[video]
... Sure.
It's 'broke' and 'badly'. And you're wrong to assume that non-fighters can't also get hurt. My arm could be missing for any number of reasons, though I suppose you're going to keep assuming what you want to.
[video]
Does that mean you're not a fighter?
Don't worry, I'll help protect you! It'll all be okay.
[video]
You've changed your opinion on me quickly. Is that just because you think I'm Japanese?
[ yes. protect him. ]
[video]
Are you not sure if you're a fighter or not? 'Cus that's a weird thing to be confused about.
[video]
[video]
What's a mannerisms?
[video]
You were yelling in an aggressive way. Now you aren't.
Are you more polite because you think we're the same race?
[video]
... I was just yelling at the people who kidnapped us, 'cus they're bad and yelling at bad people is okay when they kidnap you. Did you get taught to not yell at people who kidnap you?
[video]
... not specifically but it's also not the wisest course of action. How old are you?
[video]
I'm... I think seven! But maybe six. I was gonna be seven soon, though, so I think I can be seven now. I dunno when I was born.
[It's kind of difficult to keep track of birthdays when nobody celebrated it growing up. Or having a piece of shit mother and an even worse step-dad.]
[video]
I see. In that case you should say that you're seven, and you should choose a date on which to acknowledge your birth. Even if it's just to determine when the year's expired, it's enough.
[video]
But I guess I kinda lost track. 'Cus we crashed!
