driftfleet | video. set during the masquerade

Who: Takeshi and you

Broadcast: Fleetwide

Action: HE'S AT THE MASQUERADE feel free to bug him there!!

When: Night of the party

[During the party, Takeshi makes a very important announcement — while dressed in his very snazzy suit of course.

Glasses count as a mask, right? Right. Just ask Superman.]

[There's a roar of activity around him, and everyone looks like GIANT HUMANOID TREES all around him because he's a goddamn shorty.]

Hi, guys!

I heard people got... dates for the party — but I was worried that some people were kinda shy or they missed getting a date. But it's okay! I decided I was gonna help everyone, 'cus everyone deserves to have a good time and get to have a date to dance with and stuff! I'm not a real good dancer... cus I'm... real short... But!!!

But everyone that doesn't got a date...

[He poses, flexing his arms.]

I'll be everybody's date!!

That's like the buddy system, right? I was told the buddy system's important. Friends can be dates! And I'm everyone's friend, because we're all on a team together... I can't drink beer for probably another bajillion years when I'm really old, and I'm not allowed to get any for my dates like a gentleman 'cus they turned me around and walked me away when I tried, but....

I can get you some cheese snacks!

... And I can open the door for you. And we can play Go Fish.

[But I don't want any girlfriends, okay! I still got a lot to think about before I can have girlfriends.

Sorry to be such a heartbreaker, duh.]
