[video] totally decent dinner convos

[throwsdown]

Who: Takeshi and you
Broadcast: fleetwide!
Action: N/A
When: Today.

[Takeshi's just finished up his dinner for the night when a thought hits him. 

Because it's times like these that he thinks a lot about home, and all the problems.

When he talks on the feed, he's got a bit of weird space flakes on the corner of his mouth, chewing quckly before he breaks out into conversation.]

Hi, guys! It's me, Takeshi - if you don't know me, I'm security! And m'not the youngest person, that's Vision; he's the youngest one. I wanted to ask if everyone was okay who got hurt before. I was morale officer on my old ship, too, so I gotta do that job, too! Um. Hang in there! You can always talk to me if you're bored or scared or hurt, because I'm always bored anyways, and I like to have company. Being alone's no fun, right??

[................... Something else, something else... Waitasec.]



Oh!

And I wanted to ask a real important question, too. Real important!

Someone put something that explodes in my head!! What should I do to get it out?

[Lemme jump to the entirely wrong conclusion, Takeshi--]

Here? Who?

[throwsdown]

Here who? Lots of people got hurt! Didn't you hear about it?

[Yeah he totally is assuming wrong, too, gurlfriend.]

[namisan]

I know about that, I was there. Why the hell do you have a bomb in your head?

[throwsdown]

'Cus!

[takeshi that's a terrible reply keep going]

I was in the game before. They put the bombs in your head when they make you play the game.

[ . . . ]

I'm sorry, you have what in your head?

[ video ]

[throwsdown]

A bomb! My dad says they put it on your brain and if you run away it'll--

[He makes an explosion sound, fanning his arms out, accidentally flicking some space flakes.]

......

It's okay, it's not on right now! I think!

Re: [ video ]

[axiomed]

That is not the point -- [ He presses a hand against his temple. ]

Can you come to the Heron? We'll take an X-Ray.

[ video ]

[throwsdown]

Yeah... I guess I could! Yeah!

You can see it with that? Is that the thing that looks in your head?

Something that explodes in your head?

[Kid that is either bizarre or extremely worrying what. But onto more important matter]

Wait a minute. How's Vision younger than you? He looks all grown to me.

Video;

[throwsdown]

I dunno how he's younger! He said he was... um... a year old!

I think he said a year old. That's like a baby, huh? But he's not...

[sorry did you ask about the explosive cus he's onto new pastures now]

Video;

[notzubats]

A year old??

Wow, that is young! I would've never guessed it! He doesn't act it!

Video;

[throwsdown]

Yeah! He acts like a grown-up, huh?! And he's so smart! I'm not a very good writer, but he writes like no problem! And he talks real good. And he's tall!

[unbearablynaive]

[There are about five things in that he could respond to, but--]

Your head is at risk of exploding? Why hadn't you said something earlier?

video;

[throwsdown]

... I guess I kinda' forgot!

It beeps if your head might explode soon, but it doesn't do that. I think it's off!

[but, you know. still an explosive just chillin in his head.]

video;

[unbearablynaive]

[It had better be off.]

If I've an idea what to look for, it's likely I can disable it with my abilities. Do you remember anything else about it?

video;

[throwsdown]

Ummm... N-no... Not a lot...

It beeps when you try to run away from the games. But I never tried to run. And if you talk about the games when it's on, your head'll explode! You can't tell anyone who isn't in the game about it! That's how I knowed — that's how I know it's not on anymore.

... I don't know what it looks like, though.

[interstices]

Someone here?

[throwsdown]

Oh...! N-no, not from here!

[Nami got the wrong idea to, it's all good.]

It was the man in the ball. At home!

if you have a thingy in your head the person you should talk to is beverly crusher probably she's my doctor and she's super good and very nice i promise

[throwsdown]

Thanks Wrath!

I'm gonna see what I can do for my brain, it's okay. I guess I'm not super worried like I'm s'pposed to be, but I've had it in my head for a long time now...

[pain_train]

i understand how it goes like i think a lot of us got bombs in our heads they're just not the literal kind but still need to be fixed but like when you've had something around for so long it's like ho hum not that important business as usual so it's good you're taking that step!

[throwsdown]

Yeah! Like everyone always acts real surprised or tell me I'm too young for stuff, but they don't know the stuff I know. They always think it's real crazy, but it's real normal for me!

[A FIRM NOD]

I'm not a real great fighter, but I fight! I think I always will, like my dad.

[goldenglasses]

DO YOU REALLY HAVE A BOMB IN YOUR HEAD?!

HOW LONG?!
WHY?!
HOW?!

[He is really hoping this is some sort of misunderstanding.]

[throwsdown]

Why're you yelling!? It's okay, calm down!

Everything's gonna be fine! It's not even on!

[WOW YOU'RE REALLY WIGGIN' OUT, SPIKEY-BRO.]

[goldenglasses]

Sorry. It seemed like something worth yelling about.

You can tell it's off? How can you tell? Are you talking about those chip thingys they put in our head so we can do our jobs? I'm pretty sure those don't explode! [Okay, he had considered it, but was hoping they don't. And at least if it was that then it wasn't someone picking on the kid.]
