Who: Sora
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Golden
When: Today?

[The broadcast opens up with Sora who looks like he's sitting on the cargo bay floor of the Golden, surrounded with a few cleaning droids. When he speaks, he seems awfully cheerful]

You know, it occurs to me that I've almost been here two months- and I haven't really said hi to everybody!

So...Hiya! [He gives a wave to the camera] I'm Sora! I'm the maintenance guy on the SS Golden! Nice to meetcha all! Even if we've...already met!

[Yeah!]

Which, speaking of maintenance...! [He rubs the back of his neck] Ha, I'm pretty new at the job, so I was wondering if anyone knew, just out of curiosity...

What do you do when the smoke detector's smoking?

[Oops]

[oh my god]

What did you do this time?

Oh, Dezel! Hey!

[He knows that voice!!]

Ha, well, the detector kept beeping! So I tried to fix it, since that's my job!

And it...didn't go as smoothly as I'd hope it would.

[... To be fair, he also would not know what to do in that instance.]

Did you break it?

[????? what is technology]

...Probably?

[Dezel considers this... and decides he just doesn't care.]

Throw it out, I guess.

You don't think we'll need it?

I can tell when something is burning.

[He's almost offended. He's a wind seraph, of course he can tell when something is up with the air.]

Oh right! You can read the wind!

Okay, that settles it! I'll throw it out!

It isn't useful if it's broken, anyway.

[Your living smoke detector is invisible, but...]

Is anything else busted?

Not...so far? Though I don't know what a lot of this stuff even does, so it's a little hard to tell.

Don't 'fix' the stove. That's my only request.

[He needs it... for reasons.]

Your only-

[ ! ]

Wait. Does that mean you cook?

[A pause.]

Yes. [And because he likes Sora, he adds:] Do you like sweets?

Sweets?

Ha- of course I do! How could you not?

[deadpan]

Some people hate beautiful things.

Yeah, well I'm not one of those people!

[He'll gladly take those losers sweets]

But oh! Do you like rice balls?

Yeah, they're good. [What kind of Tales character doesn't like rice balls?]

Is that the only thing you can make?

No! I can make more stuff than that!

[Sheesh! He rubs the back of his neck]

I just have a friend. She made me some rice balls, and she said she'll make more when we get to a planet with more ingredients.

Maybe next time she makes a batch, we can split 'em! They're really good!

[... look, no one else can cook except Dezel and Mikleo. Edna making them do it doesn't fucking count.]

All right.

[Look, he's not even resisting.]

Great!

I'll ask her to include some fruit ones too, since I'm guessing you don't eat fish.

[Haha, Sora already knows him so well.]

Fish is fine.

[It's just furry cute things... but he pauses.]

-- Thanks.

Oh really? Okay then.

[Fish is fine, just no furry cute animals]

Hey, don't mention it! It's only fair if you're sharing sweets with me.

[Fish aren't cute. He'll definitely protect them if they're being tortured, but... commercial fishing isn't a thing on his world.]

The people I traveled with used to demand it...

[He tips his hand a little, shows he has a soft spot if he let them boss him around.]

Ha. Friends of yours, I take it?

[Because he really can't see Dezel just putting up with someone he doesn't like pushing him around.]

Yeah. Bunch of knuckleheads, really. You'd get along fine.

[Actually--]

Sorey and Mikleo are on the Huntress. You're welcome to bother them instead of me.
