July Goldstone Mingle (with a short sad broadcast shucks)

[throwsdown]

Who: Goldstone crew and visitors!
Broadcast: A short locked to and for the crew. :'|
Action: SS Goldstone Mingle
When: July 9th - 31st!

Takeshi will address the crew promptly when they return to the ship — it's up to him as captain to make sure everyone knows what's going on, right? So with a subdued tone, he says over the loudspeakers: "Captain, um, Takeshi here. Miss Opal and Miss Maggie have gone home... I know we're gonna miss them a lot, but let's hope they've got really nice people to go home to... Friends and families and things they had to do. Umm... Take care of each other, and remember that some of us don't seem t'stay still for long, so be nice and remind them how much you care 'bout them, just in case, okay...?"

A pause.

"They wouldn't want us to stay too sad, so... keep your chins up and let's do good things moving forward, so they'll be real proud of us."

[Child that is creepy, he's gonna put a bell on you to hear you when you're coming. He'll do it!!! ]

I'm as good as can be expected. This wasn't my first calibrations rodeo.

[throwsdown]

[Look out, the panda is coming to cling to your leg while the boy has your attention.

As usual. He really super likes you, Crowley. :)]

Oh, yeah...! People said it happened before...

... What's a rodeo?

[onlyanapple]

[He hates his life. Why is this his life. Why are there pandas in his life?]

Hmm, a couple years ago.

It's an event where cowboys ride around on horses, or try to catch bulls, or something. Real country bumpkin American stuff.

[throwsdown]

Whoa...

[Excusey, hold up, back it up. He's sparkling.]

They sound so cool... I wanna ride around on a horse, too!!

[onlyanapple]

Eh, maybe eventually we'll hit a planet with horse-like-things on it. Never been a fan of them, myself. Keep falling off.

[He doesn't like animals, but animals like him. It's a curse. ]

[throwsdown]

[Poor thing, your life is so hard.]

I guess that would hurt, falling off one...

When Hoi Hoi was bigger and I was smaller, I used to ride on him like he was a horse.

[You know, that panda that never leaves you alone.]

[onlyanapple]

[He suffers every day. ]

I was more a pride thing, really.

Huh, and now he's stuck being relatively small, hmm? Probably for the best, can't fit a full grown panda on the ship.

[Why panda. Why. ]

[throwsdown]

[Takeshi nods.]

Yeah. But I worry about him sometimes... He doesn't have his power suit so he's...

He's real small! If people kick him and hit him on the head, he might die.

[You can imagine why Takeshi frets over such things.]

[onlyanapple]

[Wow, kid.]

I'm pretty sure no one in the Fleet is about to kick an animal in the head.

Besides, I can heal anything, so it'll be fine.

[Why did he just openly admit that? Good lord. ]

[throwsdown]

[YOU SURE DID, BUD.]

You can heal anything??

[onlyanapple]

Absolutely anything. Though I try not to resurrect the dead all that much. Nothing human, anyway. They come back wrong, and it's just messy all round.

[throwsdown]

... They come back wrong?

[8| Crowley you can't just say that.]

... Do they come back... zombies?

[onlyanapple]

[Well, fuck. ]

Um. Sure. If you want. Except...not. It's just messy and awful, 'zombies' is probably the nicer version.

[Shit this is why he should't be allowed to talk to children. This is exactly why. ]

[throwsdown]

[Takeshi's eyes widen even more.]

Do they eat people?!

[onlyanapple]

None that I've seen. But I don't really do it. I wouldn't put it past the other demon's creations, though.

[throwsdown]

...

That sounds scary.

I've met aliens... um, aliens and monsters, that eat people. They're real nasty kinds.

[onlyanapple]

I would say people-eating anythings would be real nasty. Kind of in the nature.

[throwsdown]

... Yeah, I guess so. I hope we don't run into any out here in space...

But since all the ones I knew were from space, that's gonna make things hard.

[onlyanapple]

Let's not hope too loudly, otherwise Atroma might hear and take it as a suggestion.
