this is your captain speaking;

Who: All Goldens and Golden friends!
Broadcast: Shipwide to the SS Golden
Action: Golden!
When: All of March, probably.

[ Hera is on the bridge today, looking all business. ]

Hi, everyone. I'm Hera, for those who are new or haven't spoken to me before. I'm your pilot and - as of today - captain. I know it's not a big deal here, but I was a captain back home, so I take it pretty seriously, and I just wanted to lay out a few ground rules and make a couple of announcements.

First and foremost, if I give you an order, I expect it to be followed. I don't give orders lightly, or for my own entertainment. If you think I've given you an unreasonable order, you're welcome to talk to me about it, but trust me when I say, I do it for the good of everyone on board.

Second, as of right now, we have more than enough bunks for everyone, so no one should have to share, or sleep on the floor, or anything like that. As long as there aren't any funny smells coming from your bunk, I don't care what you do in there.

Next, and especially for those new here, we do currently have cargo in the cargo bay. I ask that you don't mess with it, because it doesn't belong to us. We've scanned it, and we're relatively sure there's nothing dangerous in there, but the station has flagged it as contraband, so there's no sense risking getting into trouble just to satisfy your curiosity. If you have a legitimate reason for wanting to get into it, come talk to me so I can do a risk assessment.

Also, guests are always welcome aboard, but I do want to know who is on my ship at any given time, so just let me know when you invite people from other ships.

Finally, I just want to welcome our new crew members and let everyone know that if you have any concerns, you can always talk to me about them. We all have to share this space, and I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible.

[ And with that, have a mingle! How goes it, Golden? What kind of shenanigans are you getting up to? ]

I'm glad someone likes that stuff.

[The food, she means. Normally she'd say that with the height of disdain, but this is a kid, so she puts a bit of warm humour into it. The kids here. They leave her so torn, because she's no good with kids, but having kids in this situation at all is weird and kind of unsettling so she wants to make sure they're not alone either.

Hesitantly, she takes a seat beside him, giving him a careful look.]


What's your name?

It's not bad! It's better than cooked rats.

[They didn't exactly have seasoning or anything, either. So this is nice.

He takes another big bite, chewing through it enthusiastically.]


My name'sh Takeshi! I'm from - [gulp] - Japan. D'you know Japan?

[Her eyes widen drastically, just for a moment, as she wonders if any of the children here came from regular homes. And they're all so cheerful about it - was she ever so cheerful about her comparatively cozy upbringing?

But she just smiles, determined not to make him feel strange for anything he's said.]


I've never been to Japan, but I do know of it. I went to a school with people from all different countries. I'm from England, myself, and my name's Celeste. [How do you talk to kids, how do you talk to kids...] What do you like about Japan?
throwsdown: (YEAH MOTHERFUCKER YEAH)

Ooooh...! That's really really cool! I was on a big ship with people from all kindsa' places, too, but I never been to any of them. [He lowers his spoon, wiping his mouth on his sweater sleeve; too large on him, his hand disappears into the arm hole.] I like... Um... I dunno! I never thought about that. I like — oh!

[He beams, looking energized.]

I like the Super Sentai! Our TV is really cool, 'cus we got heroes, Heroes that can summon robots, and they drive 'em all over, and they can make aaaall their robots combine together to make a super mega stronger robot. And they got a cool song that comes on at the beginning every time.

[omg celeste don't walk this path

he loves the sentai so much

so so much]
