[open] INVADIN' UR SHIPS AND GYMS
Who: Takeshi
Broadcast: N/A
Action: On your ships. Yea rly. (Except for the Blue Fish..... he'll just knock.) Also, the Iskaulit gym and garden!
When: Today!!
[Takeshi's kept to himself, mostly. Maybe it's a strange depression phase — he's usually very productive, really!! Before he was always doing a job, after their ship crashed on a planet, or before that, when he was morale officer on the Tranquility. But now... Now everything feels so weird. He has his own little room again, but his things... they're gone. He used to have the wooden cut-outs his dad made him. Reika and Mattie, the princess-warrior and dragon. Now they're gone... and so is his drawings. Things that reminded him of good things. Well! He's not gonna let it hold him back anymore!
Which is why he's randomly teleporting into everyone else's ships to look around them. In your kitchens, your cargo bays, your medical areas and main controls. Everywhere. What? Nobody ever said touring the fleet was off-limits! He's got his flexi-armor on under his large sweater and a small holster with a gun on his hip beneath the hem of it. Because that's normal. Just like it's normal to wander around people's places of living.
... Ahem, but the Blue Fish's door is shut, and he just knocks and waits in front of it expectantly. Not sure if you can see him out the door, seeing as how he's like... not even four foot tall yet. But he's there.
After he investigates thoroughly, he goes to the gym, because now that he doesn't have his power suit? He's gotta get fit and prepared as best he can. Granted, he's by no means going to take anyone in a fight, but he's still gonna practice. His dad, he practiced, like, all the time! So it stands to reason he's gotta work out, too! You can hear is little huffs and puffs all the while; a careful release of air as he punches.

He can be seen punching a bag on the lowest section (because, y'know, shorty), his brow fixed in a determined stare. While he's clearly not inflicting any damage with those strikes because he's not exactly grown enough to, anyone with any skill in hand-to-hand combat may notice that he's actually not throwing punches with reckless abandon like a child playing pretend. No, actually — it's a genuine technique, albeit not perfected yet. He had studied his adoptive father quite often and picked up a few moves of his own, to be sure.
Practice makes perfecter!]

Maybe I'll ask everyone on the network! I'll ask if they have samurai that uses robots.
Somebody's gotta know...!
no subject
Are you the only one here from your world?
[She imagines so. He can't be lucky enough to have a guardian with him.]
no subject
Whoa... I don't know...
I never asked!
[YOU'VE OPENED HIS EYES TO QUESTIONS THAT NEED ANSWERS, MY FRIEND.]
no subject
Is there anyone in particular you'd like to see again?
no subject
I'd really like to see my dad again. His name's Kaze! He adopted me in Japan. But I also really love my parents from space... Heather and Mr. Ned! They taked care of me, you know. It was really nice to be in a... a real family!
no subject
You've been in space before this?
no subject
Yeah, I've been on another ship! It was way super worse, though... 'cus of the monsters and, uh, other bad stuff. We had to get into pods sometimes, and it was bad, 'cus we had to have a tube down our neck! [He grips his neck, sticking his tongue out.] Blegh!

no subject
There was monsters, yeah. They were pretty scary... I, um... I killed one, once.
But it was trying to hurt my mom; I had to do something!
no subject
It would be nice if children didn't have to deal with such things, but the world is rarely kind. Protecting your mother is both honourable and brave.
no subject
There's always so much bad stuff. But... it's not always so bad.
There's nice people here. And no monsters that wanna eat us...
no subject
But...I think you're right about the monsters. I haven't seen any at all.
no subject
We gotta enjoy it just in case!
no subject
[...what but that is like the opposite of my world view]
no subject
... And then things'll go bad and we'll wish we enjoyed when it was nice.
no subject
That sounds like a... very healthy way to go through life. Do you prepare in case things go badly in the future?
no subject
Do you?
no subject
[Benefit of being a pessimist. She says it gently.] But it's nice to be able to enjoy life in between.
[She's learning, smol child.]
