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.]

... What, as opposed to if they were humans?

I'll give you ten points for sheer guts, kid.

[How old are you, anyway?? Jeez. They take em younger every week.]

What, and you think a bad human's never kidnapped an alien before?

[...You know, he can actually respect this kid. And that's a first because he doesn't respect anyone here. ]

Bold words for such a little lad. A shame they fall upon deaf ears.
resnipstance: smiling, talkative, relaxed (138)

... I think it's a matter of perspective. I know there are some bounty hunters out there who don't think I'm so nice.

But, I like to think I'm okay.

[Laura figures out Takeshi is following her maybe thirty seconds after he starts. When you could smell people approaching, it made things a lot easier. Young, judging from his footfalls, frightened from his smell and his heart rate. A child, probably. She doesn't say anything, not at first, just continues her quiet exploring of the Marvisa, looking in various rooms, pausing sometimes when she thinks she hears other people nearby.]

[Finally when she's found another of those large viewports and is looking out it does she turn to peer directly at the corner he is hiding behind.]


I know you are there.
resnipstance: happy smile, excited (40)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-03-01 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Perspective? Perspective means... hmmm.

In this case, I was using it to mean "It depends on who you ask." Things look differently, depending on your viewpoint, right? For example... someone who's very rich, and someone who's very poor. The rich man might think that a meal at a fancy restaurant is cheap, because he earns a lot of money. But the poor man might think that the same meal is really expensive, because he doesn't earn much money at all.

That's because they have different perspectives.

[Ahsoka laughs.]

Yeah, that's true.

I was just using it as an example.
resnipstance: unsure, talking, eyebrow raise, curious (137)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-03-01 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
... Well that's depressing.

For what it's worth, I don't think I'd track very well with those kinds of aliens either.

[A child, as she had suspected. Younger than she would have thought though, but then, who knew why whomever had kidnapped them wanted them. Perhaps younger was better, really. But she didn't know what to do with him pointing at her like that, since...yes. Of course he had. He had been following her. Ugh. Confusing children.]

[Instead she just ignored his hand, studying him instead. He didn't seem dangerous, but people might have said the same thing about her, and how wrong they would have been...]


Why were you following me?
girlverine: (On the phone.)

Action:

[personal profile] girlverine 2016-03-01 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
You are lying.

[She didn't say it accusingly, more like stating a fact. When you could hear someone's heart beat and smell the changes in their chemical nature, being trained to spot when someone was lying was pretty easy.]

[Her eyes narrow at that girgle, ignoring whatever justification he was using about his lie. She genuinely didn't care. He was about the age when she had first started...well, becoming who she was. It triggered something inside her.]

Are you alone here?
resnipstance: serious, thoughtful, neutral (162)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-03-01 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
... No. I was kidnapped, same as you.

My name is Ahsoka.
