the first Actual Doctor is a reindeer

[tsundeere]

Who: Chopper (tsundeere)
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: Hospitality Deck of the Marsiva!
When: 2/19

[After a tiny hoof smashes onto the starting button of this stationed device, the entire fleet can enjoy a blank footage of the Marsiva's hospitality deck. At least, for a few seconds. Shortly after, there's the tip of a blue, rounded hat and some antlers that show as Chopper jumps up and down to get a better grip.

Between noises of effort, his little voice might be heard.]

Come... on...! I'm almost... THERE! [Somehow, his hooves clamp onto the edge of the thing, and those antlers bring a tough face to follow! Okay, no, he's a tiny reindeer that almost looks like a Tanuki, but details. He's looking very determined as he stares down this camera, at least.]

Can anyone hear me? This is Chopper speaking! [There's no actual snail phones around here, so... Somehow he's able to recognize what this is for. He's not thinking on why for very long.] I don't really know where this place is, but I need to get back to my friends! They could be hurt!

[There's a small, contemplative and mumbley hum as he continues, bringing a hoof to his mouth as he considers.] But I guess any of you could be hurt, too... [That's worrying, all of a sudden. He looks concerned, and then determined, clenching his... hoof?? (how) at the camera.] If you are, don't worry! I'm a doctor, so I can help you out. Just let me know where you are!

Comments

[stopbleeding]

Chopper. [He seems relieved. Then, he points.]

You're number 2.

[tsundeere]

Zoro!!

[He looks incredibly excited to see his friend, placing both hooves on the screen as he leans down.] There you are! Are you hurt?

[It's only then that the comment sets in, though, and the smile fades away into something more curious.] Huh? Number 2? I am?

[stopbleeding]

Yup. Second to arrive. [He grins, as if this stupid game of his is something to be proud of.] I'm first. You alright?

[tsundeere]

[Oh. So it was just them here, right now? He was honestly sad about that, but he keeps his chin up, looking confident as he gives a firm nod back. Like he's sharing part of this game with Zoro!]

Then, that means I'm not last! [What a great observation. But he grows a little stern shortly after, pointing at the camera.] Wait, I asked you that question first! I'm fine, so now you tell me!

[stopbleeding]

I'm always fine. [That's wrong.] Where are you?

[He doesn't recognize it.]

[tsundeere]

THAT'S AN OUTRIGHT LIE!

[What is he going to do with this man... When his despair is over, he blinks and looks around.]

I don't really know, I just woke up here a little while ago... [He'd messed around with what he'd found before realizing there was somewhere he could contact the others, but now that he got a look around, there was a lot of high-tech type stuff, wasn't there?]

I think it's called the HS Marsiva!

action forever;

[mysterzie]

[ What the actual fuck is that thing? He was going to say something but now there's just... no words... None. Absolutely no words. Maybe a small squeak of breath trying to form words, but that's about it. ]

[stopbleeding]

Oh. [He thinks.]

... Never heard of it.

[He has.] Well, whatever. Get off it and get over here.

[tsundeere]

[Hm?? He thinks he hears something, and stares more intently into the camera before realizing-- no, it's behind him! Jumping in place, he whirls around like he's ready to be defensive.

But oh, it's just someone standing there. He eases up most of the way, raising a little hoof in greeting.]

Oh, hello! I didn't see you there. Are you part of the crew of this ship? [This big huge homebase ship, look, he doesn't know.]

[tsundeere]

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT?!

[He's going to jump through this camera just to scream in your ear, Zoro. Maybe that's the solution.]

We're in space!

[mysterzie]

[ Yup. It's still talking. People words. Those are people words coming from the stuffed animal thing that is definitely... talking. Give him a minute because this is weird as shit but also very cool and Aaron is coming to rapid terms with it. ]

I—what? Crew? No way. I'm just a kidnapped passenger like, uh... you?

[tsundeere]

Hup!

[Jumping off the stand, he lands on the floor with a soft pat, stepping closer over to his new hopefully-buddy-and-not-enemy. Still, Chopper does deflate a little at that.]

Oh, you are? Then do you know why they brought us here?

[stopbleeding]

You're giving excuses. [Stop.]

Find an airlock. They'll let you out. I'll try to bring my ship closer.

[He'll crash it.]

[mysterzie]

[ After a moment of consideration, Aaron crouches to be closer to eye level. He reaches out to poke at an antler while he answers. Fuckin' space, man. It's crazy. ]

Entertainment, I think they said? Reality TV.

[tsundeere]

[He just looks incredibly distressed at all of this, despite Zoro's grumping. Airlock... Space... Bring his ship closer?! Doesn't this all sound really dangerous?]

Wait! It's not that simple! If we miss just one step, we could die! [THIS IS TERRIFYING, PLEASE SLOW DOWN.] Before you do anything, let me see if I can find an exit.

[tsundeere]

[Did... did this guy just poke his antler? What does that mean. He sort of freeze in place at that, puffing up his chest (and his cheeks) to make himself seem more confident and less afraid of space weirdos.]

Entertainment?! [But he's still horrified, wHAT KIND OF HORRIBLE PEOPLE... This sounds like a scary plot no matter how you look at it!] TV? How many people are stuck here with us?

[stopbleeding]

The airlock is the exit. [He crosses his arm, frowning. How dare Chopper doubt him!] But fine. I'll give you ten minutes.

[mysterzie]

[ OKAY BUT THAT'S CUTE. Aaron does it again. ]

Two others here, more people on other littler ships out there apparently. So: lots.

[tsundeere]

[He knows that!! But it's taking it one step at a time, Zoro!!]

Okay! Leave it to me! [With that, he hops off the stand and takes off running... But he can't find any. This ship is so huge, he can't even cover the whole thing in ten minutes! Not even half-- not a quarter!

By the time he recontacts Zoro, he's tired himself out a little, slumping against the camera hopelessly.]

I can't find any... This is such a huge ship!

[stopbleeding]

Not even an airlock? [He believes him. Doesn't even doubt Chopper's thoroughness in his search. Why should he? It's Chopper.] Hold on. I'll come over myself. Maybe I can find it from the outside.

[tsundeere]

[Whaaaaat is goiiiiiiiing oooooon... He sort of shrinks and ducks out of the way after that one, taking a few side steps and puffing himself up further. He's tough, he's tough, he's tough!]

There are more ships than this one?! Tell me, have you seen a guy with a straw hat like this? [He pulls at his own hat to try and imitate Luffy's.] Or one with green hair and three swords, who makes faces like this?! [He then frowns like he is super intimidating and Cool.] Or maybe one with a biiiig, long nose--

[He's not going to stop...]

[tsundeere]

Outside?! That's too dangerous! Are there suits you can use?

[A pause.] It's still too dangerous! If you get hurt out there, I wouldn't be able to help you quickly enough!

[mysterzie]

Nope. Nope. Nope.

[ Aaron's just kind of going through the list and then eventually shakes his head. ]

No, okay? I haven't seen pretty much anyone. Definitely nobody as, uhm, you. As you.

[tsundeere]

Oh.

[He's too heartbroken to realize how insulting that actually is. So instead, his shoulders sag a little and he tries not to look too discouraged. They're waiting for him, somewhere--! They're definitely looking for him!]

So... then you're alone? [That's a little sad.]

[stopbleeding]

I'll be fine. If something gets in my way, I'll beat it up. You won't even have to open your kit.

[He smiles faintly, zippering up the spacesuit.] I'm going out now.

[There's a couple intimidating noises and then, poof. He's sucked out into space.]
