Action, Iskaulit

[this_loser]

Who: Prompto Argentum, Yuuri Katsuki
Broadcast: No
Action: Iskaulit
When: May 26

[Prompto has been desperate for space. Not outer space - room space. He needs to move. The Bishop is okay, but it's not ideal. And anyway, he hasn't made much effort to get to know his crewmates. He doesn't want to annoying them with his constant bouncing and shuffling. The treadmill in the cargo hold lasted all of three days before the boredom got to him.

Which is how he finds himself on the Iskaulit. It's much bigger, and that's perfect.]

Awesome.

[He picks an out of the way area to do a little warm-up stretching. It would be nice to run - and not because something was trying to kill him.]

[He stops where he's running, and proceeds to jog in place — all while dodging panda paws carefully.]

That's right, sir! It's important to always be ready for anything that gets thrown at us!!

[NOD, NOD.]

And I eat way too much peanut butter!! So I gotta exercise a lot or I'll turn into a potato!

[this_loser]

[He smiles indulgently, squatting down to the kid's level]

It is important to stay healthy. Are you here by yourself? What's your name?

[throwsdown]

[The eight-year-old seems more than content with the new company, offering a sunny grin.]

I'm Takeshi, mister, captain of the SS Goldstone! It's nice to meet you.

I come here by myself, mostly because I don't get real, real distracted.

[this_loser]

It's nice to meet you too. My name is Prompto.

You're a captain? That's really impressive. How old are you?

[throwsdown]

Eight years old, Mr. Prompto!

[He holds up four fingers on each hand.]

I was about four or five when I came to space, I think. And I've been here ever since!

[this_loser]

That's a good age.

[Mr. Prompto. That's adorable.]

That's three or four years. You've been here that long?

[throwsdown]

Not on this ship! But I've been here for a year now, I think.

[He gives a nod, sure of himself.]

I lived on another ship before. Not on the fleet. It was called the Tranquility! And it was as big as a whole city!

[this_loser]

That's ... that's pretty big. Were you a captain there too?

[throwsdown]

Oh, no, I was a moral officer!

I made sure people felt better, 'cus a lot of really scary things happened there a lot.

[this_loser]

Sounds like quite the responsibility. [And he sympathizes.]

What kind of scary things?

[throwsdown]

Big, angry rats! Like this big!

[He holds up his hands, showing the rats to be at least a good two feet long.]

And manticores! D'you know what those are?

[this_loser]

Heh. Gross.

[Small rats were bad enough.]

Sounds like something from a video game. But no, can't say I've met one for real.

[Or maybe he has. They've fought all kinds of weird stuff since leaving the city, a lot of monsters he didn't know the name of.]

[throwsdown]

They're pretty freaky. I had to fight 'em when I was trapped in some hallways...

I think -- I think that's why I like this place, even if it's bad sometimes. It's... quieter. People don't gotta worry about things on the ship trying to hurt them. Most of the time, anyways.
