[this is it-- Atroma's surprise vacation stay for you all! it's time to explore, speculate, relax, and totally behave yourselves. right?

how are you all dealing with the ever-so-educational volcano? have you played around with the visual toggle on those collars yet? aren't they cool? aren't these peasant clothes rad? if you haven't had a decent meal since Abeo, maybe you could afford some of that authentic farm-raised meat they have here. historical!

I bet you're all excited and completely thrilled to be here! who wouldn't be? ...so, make some discoveries, make some friends, and have fun!]

[to be honest, hiro probably wasn't supposed to be in there to begin with. he brushes himself off a bit when he gets to his feet on the path.]

... Don't tell the guards?

[limitstorm]

[ big sigh... hands on his hips. ]

I guess I won't.

You're from one of our ships, aren't you? The Marsiva?

[everydayhero]

You're a good man.

[He nods.]

Guess that means you are too.

[He was the one who probably damn near made you go deaf by playing his alarm on the comm.]

[limitstorm]

Yeah, I've been on the ships since... they started, I guess.

[ his lips turn up into a bemused smile. ]

I saw your alarms. Well--more like heard. I'm Riku--security for the Bloodsport.

[everydayhero]

Wow. Long time, compared to month-old rookie me.

[he extends a hand]

Hiro Hamada. Engineer extraordinaire, proud member of the Bishop crew.

[limitstorm]

'Engineer extraordinaire'?

[ hand? hiro's too short for a high-five. he just holds out his fist for a fistbump. ]

Pretty big title. The alarms were impressive, though.

[everydayhero]

[HELL YEAH FISTBUMP.]

It's not big if you can back it up.

[Crossing his arms.]

The alarms hook up to detect fire, gas, objects on a collision course that are big enough to damage the shields; they can detect when the shields are broken and when someone is docking their SR pods with our ship, and there's a manual emergency alarm. Plus a dance mode.

[limitstorm]

A dance mode?

2/2

[limitstorm]

... I guess everything else is pretty useful.

[everydayhero]

Okay technically... I called it party mode. But it's to have bright and colorful lights once I get the stereo system all set up. We'll have dance parties.

So, it's useful, too.

[limitstorm]

I didn't know dance parties were useful.

[ that's just him being snarky now. ]

But, I guess it's your ship.

[everydayhero]

Recreation.

[shrug!]

What do you do on your ship for fun, play boardgames?

[limitstorm]

Usually we spar.

[ shrug back! ]

[everydayhero]

Spar? Like with weapons?

['v']

[limitstorm]

Well... not real ones--they took our weapons away, but I've made us wooden swords. We use magic a lot too.

[everydayhero]

Magic? What kind of magic?

[so full of questions, this one]

[limitstorm]

Whatever kind of magic we want, usually. Black magic, Time magic... I'm better at Time magic, but Sora's better at a lot more things than I ever was.

[ sidetracking-- ]

Lemme guess: they don't have magic where you come from.

[everydayhero]

Uhh, no, that's not a thing for us. We tend to rely on tech to beat the bad guys.

Isss... there anything you can show me?

[limitstorm]

You want me to show you magic?

[everydayhero]

Is that weird?

[limitstorm]

[ he opens his mouth, and then thinks.

and then; ]

Not really. What's weird is that you'd go up to a stranger, find out they have magic, and then ask them.

[ hands on hips. ]

Haven't you ever heard of stranger danger?

[everydayhero]

You're from the fleet.

[He shrugs!]

Plus you don't exactly look like a bad guy, if you're worried about a kid swimming around in lava.

[limitstorm]

[ riku's shoulders just deflate, almost comically.

well, he has him there. ]

[limitstorm]

Okay.

[ he gestures to part of the deck that's empty for the moment. ]

Over here. I don't want anyone hurt 'cause they're too close.

[everydayhero]

[oh it's got an aoe, ok, he can understand that. he's just gonna nod and jog on over there, c'mon, i wanna see]
