Who: Tommy Magnus, and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS CAPRINE
When: 06/04

[ So. As far as Tommy's concerned, he's been born for this moment. For every hour Billy had him sit through the von Trapps caterwauling their way through their problems or whatever other corny classic shlock he was into, Tommy had retaliated with an hour of Big Brother and whatever other reality tv show trash had caught his eye.

So, being kidnapped from an impending disaster and being dropped into this seemed only a logical progression of fate. He figured that his mother would be there soon enough, ripping time and space asunder. So after grabbing a cup of pudding and giving a once-over of the ship, he knew what had to be done. Play along, roll with it, and hope that when the Scarlet Witch gets here she doesn't break the universe too hard.

Which leads him here. Stretched out, relaxed as can be. Might as well have some fun. He folds his arms behind his head, a playful smirk on his face. ]

Hello out there my soon to be loyal viewership. It's me - Tommy. But you can call me Speed if that's a little more your style. I'm honored to be part of this, clearly you received my audition tape and were as impressed with me as I am with all this. This is a total game-changer.

I'm in it to win it, and this season's going to be the best one yet.

Are you kidding me? Who doesn't want to be a reality tv star?

[helmsplitter]

Pretty much everyone on the Fleet??

[Srsly.]

[mutriarchy]

Well, yeah, it probably wears on you after a while. But consider the fame, and prizes.

[ There are no prizes and the points don't matter. He gets that. ]

[helmsplitter]

Tch.

[Can you hear the contempt in that tongue click? It was there.]

So you're from that era that needs fame and displays to prove their strength, huh?

[mutriarchy]

To prove strength? Uh, no. I'm pretty sure most people in charge can just use their power to make a point. Being famous is just kind of cool if you use it for the right reasons.

[helmsplitter]

You'd have to talk to Shokidaikiri if you want someone to care about being "cool." As long as I get to be useful, I don't care.

[like a brick wall, this one]

[mutriarchy]

Uh... Shokidaiwhodi?

[helmsplitter]

Shoku-dai-kiri. [He isn't annoyed by having to say the name again. He's learned their names are friggin impossible to say for most people.]

Date Masamune's sword, good at cooking, likes to be "cool." He's not here though, so it's just me - the one who doesn't care. You don't have to be cool to be useful in war.

[mutriarchy]

Hold on on a sec. Did you just say sword?

[helmsplitter]

Yea-- ah, right.

[He forgets he had to remind people every time there's a new Shuffle.]

Yeah I said sword. Yes, I'm a sword too. I look human, but that's 'cause I'm a manifestation of the spirit that lives inside my blade.

[mutriarchy]

Uh...

[ What the hell is what he wants to say. But, if he's being honest - that's probably not the weirdest thing he's ever heard in his life. ]

Does that make you some kind of ghost?

[helmsplitter]

Hell no.

[He'd have to-- well. Technically he has died before, but not this version of him??]

I'm a spirit, not a ghost. Ghosts are from dead humans or animals. I only have a human form - I ain't human.

[mutriarchy]

So you're a magical talking sword-person.

[helmsplitter]

[.....................

I mean.



He's not wrong.]

Not really "magical," but otherwise, yeah.
