Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Tourist, in quarters if you want
When: Thursday, 19March, afternoon

[Broadcast]
[He looks... really unsettled, like he just watched something awful happen and doesn't even know how to process it. In fact that's pretty much exactly what happened: he awoke with a start from a dream he's sure wasn't a dream--he remembers it like it happened, like memories... but it's been hours, not the year-plus he experienced in that dream. He's still trying to wrap his head around everything, and that's when it hits him: he died. And Roxas is gone. Not just gone from the fleet, he already knew that part, and it suddenly hurts a thousandfold more than it did before, because Roxas had been here and now he's not, and now Axel knows he's gone for good. Suddenly he feels like he wasted an opportunity, and he has no excuse other than ignorance.

[He rubs his arms--it's strangely cold in here, it seems--and regards the feed on his communicator. He just needs to get his mind off this.]

So, Fleet, I'm curious: is there ice cream wherever you come from? What's your favorite flavor? Gimme your best ice cream story, I'm bored.

I'd appreciate that. I think a few upgrades to this little tin can we're in might make things a lot easier for all of us. [He knows he'll sleep a lot better with a door, for starters.]

Ah, don't worry too much about Fenris, I think I pissed him off, too. He's very easily annoyed, so yeah, it's probably best to just steer clear when you can.

More space, more things to grow, more tasty food! [ ... which he isn't terribly put out about their protein dispensers, his cooking is usually around the same level. ]

Ohhh. Okay!

That's the plan.

Ah, anyway... [He hesitates, then nods.] Thanks. [Yeah. He's still not used to saying that, but maybe it's something he can learn to get the hang of.] Go ahead and do whatever with your plants, and when we have some more space we can talk about how to best use it.

We've got a civilian room now, too, so I'll talk to the new guy and see if he's got plans for it. I think having real salad or strawberries or something is as good a use for a room as anything, honestly. [Real food like that would also be a good thing to barter for favors from other members of the fleet. Axel may have just met his first actually useful crew member.]

Welcome!

[ Wait one of those words rang a bell in his head- Asteffiel blinks a couple times. ]

Blueberry! Blueberry icecream! With chocolate!

[ ... Off topic, maybe, but he remembered something! ]

Bluebe... huh? [And then he just kind of laughs.] Oh, you remembered, huh? [This guy's even spacier than Roxas! It's kind of entertaining.] Blueberry and chocolate, hmm. Sounds good. Maybe we'll find some on the next planet we go to.

Yes.

[ He sounds so proud of himself too.

Although that's a little short lived. ]

I don't remember who made it though.

[ ... And back to excited. ]

Maybe! Or we find blueberries and chocolate and someone who can make icecream, and we make it together!

Well, that's okay, all in good time, right?

[Another short laugh.]

Maybe! Man, I wish I'd been able to find some ice cream on those moons we were at last month. I'll just have to keep looking, I guess.

... Maybe. But now would also be a good time...

[ He's fairly sure it's important. Somehow. ]

I will let you know if I find any ice cream!

[He's not quite sure what to say to that. Sure, now's a good time, but you can't force yourself to remember things, it doesn't work that way.

[He ventures a thin smile.]

All right. And I'll let you know if I find any blueberries.

[ Leaning for a secretive whisper... over the video box. Good job, Asteffiel. ]

Blueberries should be easy to grow, and they can come in little bush trees!

[He snorts a laugh when Asteffiel leans in.]

Even better! Soon as we find someplace that has ice cream and chocolate, we'll be in business.

... If we pick up someone who can make icecream, we can make all sorts of fruit icecream...

[ And then everyone will want to be nice with their ship! ]

Maybe we'll get a cook the next time they shuffle people around. That'd be kinda nice, maybe they can do more with that gook we're supposed to eat.

And a cook would know what plants would be better with the .. soup stuff!

[ Asteffiel might be eating teriyaki and veggie goo when he goes and eats that stuff. ]
