galley;

[limitstorm]

What're you trying to make?

[ riku steps in from the doorway.

it's highly unlikely manolo has seen or heard riku around--he's certainly made himself scarce. but food is food, and everyone needs it, including him.

as far as first impressions go... maybe not the best, but nothing too bad. he hesitates before making his way over to the dispenser, to start on tea. ]

I'm Riku, I've got the security augment here. I guess you're new?

[puro]

It was supposed to be chicken. But I'm pretty sure this has never even seen an egg.

[He pushes the charred mess aside with a grimace, before the smile's back on, and turned in Riku's direction.]

Pleased to meet you. I'm Manolo, apparently I'm personnel? I just got here this week.

[limitstorm]

Man-oh-loh?

[ he repeats it quietly, carefully, because names can mean so much more than just, well. a name. he exhales, hoping he's got that right before he gestures to the protein dispenser. ]

This thing's tough to get used to. I've been here for months, so if you need help with it, you can ask.

[puro]

That's right.

I appreciate that. I've never seen anything like it. Back home, we have ovens, nothing like this.

[limitstorm]

[ he gives a little laugh. ]

Yeah, ovens're easy.

I'm gonna make something. I'll make extra if you want.

[puro]

Gracias. Eventually, I'll figure it out, I'm sure.

[Or burn the ship down. One or the other.]

[limitstorm]

[ ah, what does that mean? ... he won't ask. he can figure it out later.

oh, uh, right. he's got... to talk. about things. normal people talk about things! ]

Did you meet everyone else already?

[puro]

I met Robin, and you. That's it, for now.

[limitstorm]

So there's still Sora and Ringo you haven't met...

You'll probably meet Sora soon. He's hard to miss--he's the pilot.

[puro]

So he keeps us from crashing horribly?

[He laughs a little, but Manolo that ain't even funny.]

[limitstorm]

[ well.

surprisingly, riku cracks up. ]

That's the plan, but who knows. It's Sora.

[puro]

So long as we don't make a crater in the ground, I think we'll be okay.

[limitstorm]

That's what I think, too. I have faith in him--he's my best friend, how could I not?

[puro]

Faith in your friends is very important.

[limitstorm]

Sounds like you've got experience. Missing someone?

[ his words are a little gentler, as he looks over his shoulder. ]

[puro]

Two someones. The love of my life and my best friend.

[Who don't know he's come back. To them, he's still dead and cold. He hates that he's put them through that. He can't even imagine how they're feeling.]

We've been together since we were little kids. [He gives a soft laugh, with more than a small undercurrent of sadness to it.] The Three Amigos, causing chaos wherever we went.

[limitstorm]

[ riku stills until he stops.

three friends, one who someone loved and one who was their best friend?

ah... that's almost too close for comfort. ]

You'd probably get along great with Sora. He, Kairi and I--we were the same way.

[puro]

[He's about to make the similarities worse.]

Really? I'll be sure to see him, if he's there.

[He smiles, albeit a little sadly. ] I- was taken away before I got to see them again, me and Joaquin didn't part well. He loves María too, and it just got...messy.

[Their parting words will forever haunt him, and he feels terrible that they will. ]

I just hope they're both okay.

[limitstorm]

[ ah--

that's too much. riku fumbles with the one of the spices and barely catches it.

'it got messy'? hah, he could say that about so much... but, he exhales. ]

I think... you'll be okay. [ no-- ] I really believe that, once you go back--you guys'll be fine.

[puro]

[Well, that's not a good reaction, and it gets instant concern from him. ]

...Are you okay?

[limitstorm]

Uh--

[ ... he exhales, and then rubs an eye with the heel of his hand. ]

Sora and I both had a crush on Kairi. We kind of... fought. It got... messy. [ he chooses his words carefully, chancing an awkward glance over at manolo. ]

[puro]

[Huh. Manolo sits back, his brow furrowing.]

...Well, that's creepily similar.

[limitstorm]

Yeah, that's what I figured.

[ looks like that's done, though... he transfers the beef protein to a plate while he cooks the vegetable protein.

sigh. this is so boring to cook, but stir-fry is stir-fry. ]

What else? What's your world like?

[puro]

[He watches the food cook, welcoming the shift in the conversation. ]

Mostly, it's just a...normal, quiet town. Up until the gods got involved in our lives, everything was...average.

[limitstorm]

The gods?

[ whoa dude what ]
