Since he got assigned to a ship already!

Who: Yuri and YOU!
Broadcast:Network-unfiltered
Action: On the Twin Roses
When:After the shuffle

_{[When the video comes on this time, Yuri has a different background behind him and he looks calmer. He's more energetic and his voice sounds more confident as he begins.]}

Hello again, everyone. Thanks to everybody who reached out to me when I first got here. I'm on the Twin Roses now so if you want to find me, here I am! In the meantime, I guess we should all figure out something to do here. This ship is pretty nice and all but I wonder if there's a place someone can skate? Victor didn't mention any place he found yet so maybe someone else knows a place to ice skate. Or dance. That would work too!

What do you do around here, guys? What's the best thing?

action!

[mrfancyhat]

If it isn't Katsuki Yuri!

[Chuuya thinks this is perfect timing, as he has just returned from doing a little shopping.]

I don't know where you can skate, but I do know there was a dance hall at the ball that was held recently. I'm not sure if there's one easily accessible on the fleet, however.

[He reaches for a glass in the kitchen.]

Not sure what the others do, since I'm out most of the time, but when I'm here I like having a glass of wine and staring out the windows. We have a great view!

[pork_bowl]

_{[He bolts upright with a start. Man that startled him.]}

A dance hall? Well I can do that too, ballet is fine... hey I remember you. _{[he trails after him to the kitchen area.]}

Yeah, it's a great view _{[When it doesn't make you anxious to think about it]} but where do you go when you're 'out' if you don't mind me asking? You have shopping bags? Can you tell me how that works? Do we have money here? Do we earn it?

[mrfancyhat]

[Chuuya might have been more annoyed by all the questions at once on a normal day, but he's had a successful couple days that have left him in an excellent mood.]

I go out to do different jobs, of course!

[He sets his bags and the glass down on the counter, leaning on it.]

Jobs can be found on the ship or our current destination. And do you remember the reality TV show thing we talked about earlier? You get credits that way too.

[He gestures towards Yuri.]

I bet when you're able to do some ice skating, you'll get a lot of hits. You said you won silver and all, so you must be a pretty big deal.

[pork_bowl]

_{[Well lucky Yuri. He might not handle being snapped at very well at the moment. Although he might find it comforting too, it would remind him of Yurio... anyway, Chuuya is talking and things are sort of making sense.]}

Jobs? Like what kind of jobs, may I ask?

Oh... right... the show. _{[He hangs his head.]} I try not to think about that. But yeah, I'm a figure skater. I did win silver. Victor wants me to win gold, I want to win gold too. He wants five medals, I just want one but... I'm nobody special, I'm just one of the dime-a-dozen skaters qualified by the JSF. _{[Haha, no he isn't]}

But is there a place to skate around here?

[mrfancyhat]

Delivering things, being a body guard, making and gathering things. Pretty normal stuff.

[Despite his version of "normal jobs" being different than others, but he didn't talk about that sort of thing.]

Who knows? Maybe eventually we'll come to a planet that's made entirely of ice.

[Not that he wants that, but it's still probably true, he's sure.]

[pork_bowl]

Huh. Where do you pick those up?

_{[He can do some of those things. He could look into it, maybe even do it.]}

Oh, an ice world sounds horrific. It won't be smooth ice either, wouldn't it be glaciers and snow? No thanks. Makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Where did you get the wine?

[mrfancyhat]

Look around, either in person or on the network. Sometimes business owners announce job openings. Or use the network to sell yourself. Someone can lead you to something you'd like, probably.

[Chuuya laughs at Yuri's last question.]

Found a place on the asteroids! Because, well, let's just say that I'll always know where to find wine.

[pork_bowl]

I see... thanks for the tip.

Wait.

Asteroids? Like... meteors that are in orbit? Wh... how did you find wine? There aren't... shops... there are there?

_{[He feels foolish just asking that and Chuuya's question only makes it worse. He feels dumb in general around here for the time being.]}

[mrfancyhat]

[Right, Yuri is new. Of course Chuuya knew this, but it still didn't cross his mind that maybe he had no idea what he was talking about.]

Asteroids! There are some to explore where we are right now. They're the same as cities you're used to. The exception is that Meston is super strict for no good reason. They don't even like it when you swear there.

[pork_bowl]

_{[He has NO idea what he's on about and he regrets that continuing this conversation isn't helping clear his confusion but instead, is making more. He is baffled, to say the least.]}

How... are there cities on asteroids? They don't have an atmosphere. They don't have water or even enough light, right? How... can they have people on them? Sorry for asking so much but this is all really new to me and I have never heard of things like living in space.

[mrfancyhat]

[And another laugh!]

Man, you really just gotta get out there and see it for yourself. Get yourself a partner and have them show you around, both on and off the ship.

[pork_bowl]

A partner.... right....

You know, you gave me a great idea, thanks! _{[He has a genuinely grateful smile. No being cheeky with him, he's just discovered a new date night.]}

[mrfancyhat]

I'm full of great ideas!

[Or at least he thinks he is. Even if that includes bad ideas.]

You're welcome!

[pork_bowl]

_{[He smiled]}

You remind me of someone I knew back home. He was angry but he was talented, he just wanted everyone to notice him. I'm glad you're here.

[mrfancyhat]

[Angry? Is that what Yuri thinks of him? He takes offense to that... thus proving him right.]

The hell? I don't know who you're talking about, but he sounds nothing like me at all whatsoever!

[pork_bowl]

_{[That earns Chuuya a laugh. Yuri couldn't help it. The anger only seems to please Yuri more. This was comfortable, this was familiar. He felt a bit more secure. Strange as that was given the context.]}

Sure sure... you two don't know each other at all. It's just what I feel. But I am glad you're here.

[mrfancyhat]

[Chuuya gets off the counter, getting back to his things.]

Right. If you say so, you creep.

[pork_bowl]

Ah.... well wait, I didn't mean to get weird. I'm sorry!

[mrfancyhat]

You're lucky I'm going easy on you.

[He waves a hand dismissively.]

Next time you might not be so lucky.

[pork_bowl]

_{[He really does remind him of Yurio...]}

I am very lucky, thank you.

Can I ask you something about your world?

[mrfancyhat]

[He stares at Yuri for a moment. He considered walking away due to feeling like the conversation got weird, but he decides to see where it goes from here.]

Go ahead. What's the question?

[pork_bowl]

_{[He doesn't mean to be weird. This place was weird dang it! It wasn't him, he swears, he just wants to make sense of it!]}

Is there a way to tell if you and I are really from the same place?

_{[He really wanted to ask if Chuuya was a dangerous person where he was from but that would be a weird question. And not one he expected an honest answer from.]}

[mrfancyhat]

[That's a good question, and one he's not really sure of. It does get him to think about it, however.]

That's hard to say. Do people have, uh, special abilities where you come from? That you've heard of.

[pork_bowl]

_{[And that answer makes him think too.]}

Powers? I mean I hear about people who can tell the future or read minds but I never believed in that stuff... what kind of powers do you mean?

[mrfancyhat]

[He chuckles.]

Don't be ridiculous. I'm talking about something way more interesting.

[Chuuya gracefully picks up the glass from earlier and holds it in his hand.]

Something like this.

[The glass hovers over his hand, and, in fact, is floating over towards Yuri.]
