[ishere]

[ there is music.

there is confetti.

there is -- is that chocolate? okay, well, tadashi's not going to touch that for now. instead, he's going to work on orienting himself as he steadies himself in the bridge. okay, well, at least this was some sort of progress.

he moves for his communicator. if hiro isn't nearby, he's going to shoot him a text. ]

[everydayhero]

[Hiro isn't right there, but you better bet he fucking hears that music and drops everything he's doing--literally.

[Before Tadashi can even get his communicator out, he'll hear a clatter past the door to the hall. It opens, and before it can even get all the way there, Hiro fits his scrawny little frame through it and squeezes into the room. He stops just long enough to register that yes, that is Tadashi, and no, this has not been a week-long elaborate prank by the Atroma.]

Tadashi...

[Then he's barreling forward for just about the most desperate hug he's ever given his brother, immediately burying his face in Tadashi's chest and wrapping his arms as tightly around him as they'll go.]

[ishere]

[ for a split second, tadashi is alarmed when he hears the footsteps and spots the rapidly approaching blur, but then hiro is there and hugging him with a desperation that makes his throat threaten to close up.

well.

at least they'd put him on the right ship. ]

Hey, Hiro.

[ he's quiet, returning the hug and sort of bumping his face against the top of his little brother's hair. his stomach is heavy, and he wonders if it's the dread or a side-effect of the transportation. please let it just be a side-effect of the transportation.

finally, giving him a little squeeze, he murmurs: ]

Rule 221: Hamada brothers don't break each others' ribs.

[ladiesss]

[hey everybody! there was an announcement over the comms system a little bit ago. it was Krista, though, so it sounded kinda... um... hard to hear. she didn't sound freaked out or anything. um. something about meeting her outside?

anyway, she is outside the ship! the weather is lovely despite them being parked in a volcano. she's stringing up some twine between the wing and the outside of the bridge so that she can hang up various herbs and strings of flowers to dry... and there may... be some animal bones laying out on the wing, too.

aaaand a small bucket with less-clean looking animal parts in it, sitting to the side. like skulls that still have some meaty bits on them. or some kind of ribcage that could use some more... cleaning... ew, Krista, I hope you used gloves.]

[howcanihelp]

[ Okaaaay, Krista, that was unintelligible so Steffa's coming looking for you to clarify what you said.

Steffa glances over at the drying flowers and herbs and bones, and the bucket, and honestly doesn't even bat an eyelash. Gloves are for wearing when it's cold or to protect your hands in battle, not for cleaning bones! Gosh. ]

Did you make an announcement on the ship a few minutes ago? I couldn't quite make it out, I wasn't sure if it was important or not.

[ladiesss]

Oh... Hey Steph. Yeah, that was me.

[she finishes tying a knot at the base of the stalk of some wolfsbane... and then lets it go with a little huff. good work, girl.]

I, uh, wanted you to come out here anyway, so I guess it worked out. I, um... Well, I wanted to tell you guys something, so I guess I'll just say it while you're... you know, present...

[everydayhero]

[Hiro's a little later to come out, having been working on a little something. When he comes out, he sees... all of this.]

... Uh, hey. Krista. Did you call earlier?

[ladiesss]

[she looks over from where she's hanging things...]

Hey Hiro. Yeah, I did... But I think my message got kind of garbled. I, um, wanted to tell you something.

[she'll finish her knot and... dust off her pants, and... just ignore all the dead stuff okay it's probably not that weird.]

[timewalking]

[Kirian looks around with mild disgust. What the fuck was she, a warlock or something? Ugh, dead animal parts, all of this reeked of death cultism, and he gave her a LOOK and wished he still needed his case, so he could gesture at her with it.]

What is it?

[Said coldly and irritably, as per usual.]

[ladiesss]

[boy, cold and irritable... her favorite. she looks over from where she's hanging up wolfsbane stalks.]

Um...

[she lets go of the knot. the twine wavers back and forth without her.]

I, um, just wanted to clear something with everyone. Just in case it comes up.

[ishere]

[ h u h.

tadashi will simply linger by the bucket of animal parts, squinting down into it as if he's. trying to figure out if he's actually seeing what he thinks he's seeing, and - yes. he surely is. he shakes his head as if that will help him clear it, before approaching krista carefully. ]

Do you need any help?

[ladiesss]

[...hi, Tadashi. she lets go of a stalk of wolfsbane she'd been tying up, sending the whole line of twine wobbling up and down. dusts her hands off. just ignore the bucket, okay.]

Uh, no. I'm doing pretty good. I just wanted to, uh, tell you something. Well, um. Actually a couple of things...

[ Once Tadashi responds to one of her morning texts with an affirmative, Honey Lemon brings breakfast for the Bishop with things she had managed to get at the market on Mor. It's simple, some sausage, cheese, and bread, as well as a few apples.

Yes, she had to deal with someone's haunted vegetable garden for this. ]

Yoo-hoooo! Hiro? Tadashi? It's me, Honey Lemon!

[everydayhero]

[oh my god thank god he hears your voice

[this is hiro, still in his sleep shirt and pajama pants, barreling out of the bunk room and right toward honey lemon--but then past her, he stops on his heel, and turns to move behind her instead.]

Hide me!

[ishere]

Don't hide him, he's got a date with an airlock --

[ and this is tadashi coming up right behind him, clothes rumpled from sleep and hair sticking in a million directions -- from both the pillow and the fact that hiro had drooled in it overnight.

honestly, he doesn't know how to react to honey lemon. he doesn't know if he should hug her, or apologize to her, or if she even wants to acknowledge the sour reality things at all. so, right now? he'll settle for this. ]

Don't you drag her into this, Hiro!

[ino]

[ Venturing onto the ship at some point, looking for either Hiro or Tadashi -- mostly Hiro, if she's being honest. She's fiddling with a small, fairly unassuming lighter in her hand as she peers around corners silently looking for any signs of life .... ]

[everydayhero]

[haha, she comes to me first, tadashi

[though tbh that's not a good thing right now. she'll hear a little bit of noise coming from the bathrooms, and when she looks? hiro is... dancing. and singing into his screwdriver. there are metal pieces everywhere and he's mostly dismantled one of the showerheads in here.]

[ino]

[ .... leans against the doorway to watch this happen. :) ahh, perfect opportunity for blackmail. ]

[ishere]

[ and when tadashi rounds a corner and spots her, he...




... doesn't actually recognize her. something about her is familiar, sure, but he's video-chatted with her exactly once, seen a single picture, and it's been a hell of a long week, okay? so he just smiles at her and halts. ]

Hey. Are you looking for someone?

[ino]

[ It's hard for her to forget who this is, on the other hand, given the big fuss for him. She just gives him a bit of an amused look ]

Hello, Tadashi. I'm looking for your brother. I assume he's here, somewhere?

[ yeah that's right the hot ninja babe wants to see your baby bro ]

OTA!

[timewalking]

[Kirian makes his way back, eventually. He can be encountered skulking about the ship and glowering at anyone that passes. He largely gives the impression of an irritable cat.

COME SAY HELLO.]

[everydayhero]

[he might bump into you on his bustling way around the ship

[in fact, he sees you several times before actually stopping, because you know what? we never really introduced ourselves properly.]

Hey, you're... Kirian, right? Our security officer?

3/28 shuffle

[arcanepower]

[BOOF. Confetti everywhere. Also an elf kid. Belthazar lets out a squawk (very dignified) but he doesn't fall over. Thankfully. He does, however, begin the tedious task of picking confetti out of his hair. And he will glower at anyone who comes to see him.

He's very curious about his new surroundings, having not seen anything quite like this before, but-- people. People. And he is so terrible with people.]

[everydayhero]

[hiro hears the fanfare, and the door to the control room opens up moments later. he's kind of just standing there with a cup of water in his hand. he was taking a break from the sound system he's trying to install in the walls.]

... Uh. Welcome to the Bishop?

[ladiesss]

[she's on her way as soon as she hears the little overhead announcement--and the happy jingle! so very soon a small, gothy-looking teenage girl will appear on the bridge and peer at him. you know. like you do with new people.]

Oh, hi... You just got transferred?

[she's very soft-spoken... jeez...]
