Video. "Welcome Back Hoi Hoi" Not an outdated pop culture ref at all.

Who: Takeshi, baby Hoi Hoi (aka a panda version of baby Groot) and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Goldstone
When: Now



[When the feed opens up, Takeshi is in hysterics. Tears streaming and face all twisted up and splotchy and deep sobs heaving in his chest.

At first, extremely concerning — but then, you see what he's bear hugging (no pun intended) against his bosom. It's a panda, soft and babyish, still big enough that he's a handful for a boy who looks six or seven, but also very small for a panda bear. He's in a little black suit, round eyes peering around with some confusion at Takeshi's... very emotional outburst.]


IT'S MY HOI HOI!! HE'S BEEN G-G-G-GIVEN B-BACK TO ME — I did the trial and he was there, he was alive, and it's him; he's here, even after I lost him, he's back...!

HE'S ALIVE AGAIN, AND HE'S HERE AND REBORNED, AND HE'S — HE'S — HE'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.

[He rubs his cheek against Hoi Hoi's fuzzy cheek, leaving a wet spot there, and he heaves a sob.]

I l-love you so much, Hoi Hoi. I'll protect you now, I'll always keep you s—safe...!!

[Hoi Hoi yawns, unaware of just how important this reunion is. Takeshi and his panda friend can be found in the captain's room; he's got him on his bed and is feeding him some of that synthetic milk from a bottle kindly given by a local. Near Hoi Hoi's foot is a half-destroyed fish plushy. Or maybe you find him in the kitchen, Hoi Hoi sitting on the table while Takeshi writes a thank you note to place in that temple later.

His best friend is alive, and everything is so good.

If you're passing back and forth you may find your leg suddenly clung to by said panda baby.

... And if you're interested in why this is a big deal for the lad, just
read this completely awful and terrible thread featuring pet death from his last game.

God help you, though.]

[ Ugh... She's not sure how to deal with tears!! ]

Make sure he doesn't eat anything he shouldn't.
athru: (release the doves)

Good. [ She just... She's a little overwhelmed by the preciousness. ] Then I'm sure he'll be well looked after. He's... Good, right?
athru: (so settle down with me)

Oh. [ What do you even say to that? ] Maybe I can meet him soon, then.
athru: (she'll sing you a song)

We'll have to plan a date. [ She pauses, though, before she breathes out gently. What a loaded question. ] Friends are great.
athru: (you know time crawls on)

... You can have a friend date, if you want.
athru: (that's dragging me down)

Maybe we can find something on the planet? I want to ask you something anyway.
athru: (nobody stopping me)

I'm getting married and I was hoping you'd help me.

[ It's a good thing he's cute. ]

Well, do you want to be in mine? You don't have to.

Want to know a secret? [ She beams. ] Neither have I.

[ Her heart wasn't prepared for this... ]

Thank you. I appreciate it.
