Who: Sora and YOU
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Huntress
When: Today!

[Sora seems to be in a pretty good mood when he turns on the video]

That planet was something else, wasn't it? I'm used to swimming, but I don't think I ever swam around that much before! It was fun, but pretty tiring. But I'm glad we could help those people!

Anyway, I got so busy that I kinda forgot that my one year anniversary was a few weeks ago. So...that's a thing! Does anyone know what you're supposed to do for that? I feel like something should be done.

Oh- and one last thing! Sorey! I got this strange message this morning. It says that you're my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. How about that, huh?

Are you telling me you've been aboard these ships for over a year?

[That was a long time to be stuck aboard the intergalactic prison.]

[notzubats]

Hmm, yep!

Some people have been here even longer.

[maledictus_semper]

Then, congratulations are in order for you, young man.

[Don't mind him. He just likes to be patronising at times.]

How are you enjoying your stay so far?

[notzubats]

Uh, thanks I guess?

[What is patronizing when you could take it seriously]

Um, it's alright? I'd rather be home, but I've made a lot of good friends here! And seen a lotta neat worlds!

[maledictus_semper]

No need to thank me, boy. Perhaps, you should be thanking yourself for staying alive all this time on the space gel we're forced to live off.

[Ardyn doesn't quite agree with it but he still eats it.]

Ah, the worlds! Of course. The last one was the water planet, yes? I got thoroughly wet last time.

[notzubats]

You mean the proteins? Oh, they're not that bad. Plus I have cooks on my ship, so I don't have to eat them all the time.

[Or ever, considering how often Dezel cooks for him]

Yeah, that's right. It'll probably be a week or so before we come across another.

[stefanged]

We could always make a cake. Seems like the traditional thing to do, anyway.

[He gives significant pause at the last thing Sora mentioned – but he won't bring it up in public. Not right now.]

video.

[notzubats]

You could? You mean like a birthday cake?

That'd be good!

[This lad is entirely too happy about swimming. And helping.]

Watery planet, eh? There weren't...erm....tentacly things down there, were there? Sort of [he wiggles his fingers in a tentaclish way] like that? With the gaping maw?

Video

[notzubats]

Oh, did you just get here?

And....I heard there were? I didn't see any when I went down, we ran into gyra- big serpents.

Video

[all7seas]

Just got here, aye! [And the lack of rum is starting to tell on him with kraken nightmares.]

Good thing we're shot of the place, then, mate. Though it must have made the swimming exciting.

Video

[notzubats]

Welcome then! I'm Sora.

Oh, that part was terrifying. [Even Sora's not that cheerful] I'm just glad I spotted it before it got too close, we probably would've been eaten alive.

Video

[all7seas]

Captain Jack Sparrow, lad.

[This is chilling, though. Being eaten alive. Ugh. He'd just escaped the Pelagostans before Atroma took him.]

I don't suppose there were any sailing vessels down there?

video.

[stefanged]

Exactly like a birthday cake. But better.

I'll need a sous chef, though – know where I can find one?

Video

[notzubats]

Nice to meetcha Jack! Were you a captain where you came from?

[Because you're way too new to be a captain of a ship right???]

Uh, a crashed ship, yeah. Looked like a crashed a really long time ago.

video.

[notzubats]

Really? I dunno, the cake that Pinkie made me for my birthday was really good.

[Ice cream cake is the best man]

Hmm, I'd ask Dezel if you can see him. He's always making desserts.

[monolike]

Your ancestor?

[.....................................well-] I guess it's not that strange...we even look a little alike. Except I'm never going to have kids. And we don't belong to the same world.

[notzubats]

[Yeah, even Sora knows it sounded super weak when he read it. Like total bull. But.

That won't stop him from making himself sound sad about this explanation.]

What?

Are you saying you aren't my Grandpa...?

[monolike]

I'm sorry, my child...it was a secret I kept from you since birth.

I. Am not your real grandfather.

[notzubats]

[Gasp!!!]

Grandpa, no! Why didn't you tell me??

[searingedgelord]

[She's still not used to responding to these things, but the amount of time he says he's been here gets her attention.]

You've been here for an entire year? And you're okay with that?

Video

[notzubats]

Well, I wouldn't say I'm okay with it, I still wanna go home.

But lots of people wanna go home here. And I've made a lot of friends here! So I might as well try to be positive, right?

Video

[searingedgelord]

Yeah, I guess so.

[She still sounds dubious, but she's not arguing.]

Video

[notzubats]

[Yeah, he's stubbornly positive. It's weird]

Right.

Are you new here? I'm Sora!

Video

[searingedgelord]

Yeah. I've been around about a week now. I'm Velvet.
