Video. Happy Late Birthday, bud.

Who: Takeshi and you!
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Goldstone, if you need him for whatever reason! Also the gym on the iskaulit.
When: October 5th

[Takeshi's had a bit of a rough time, knowing one of his crew is gone - hopefully not gone gone, but still gone, and that's too much for him to want to think about. Mr. Okita, he shouldn't have gotten killed. Takeshi feels an insurmountable guilt, because he's the captain, and he should have gotten out there and picked up his friend. His teammate. Even still... Mon-El's awake now. Good things are happening again. They've set out, and now all he can really do is wait and see what happens next.

... But it's October, he realizes belatedly. He had not been keeping track, and so he addresses the fleet with a little smile.]


... I turned nine years old on October 1st.

I couldn't remember my birthday when I first came to space -- that was when I was five. But they said I could have a new day... The month I showed up there, that was my new birthday. I guess I... kinda lost track! But I'm happy to be here. I'm happy to be another year older with everyone else.

What kinda' birthdays do you guys have?

Do you remember any really nice ones? I had a pool party, once...! On the Tranquility.

[It was one of the best days of his life.]

If you don't have one, we can figure out one for you. Okay?

[A LIL' DASH OF ACTION]

[If you need him elsewhere, he's also in the gym aboard the Iskaulit, today. Working out, actually! He's currently giving the punching bag in there his all, throwing some hard right hooks and leaping kicks. In fact, he gets a bit too into it and accidentally kicks the whole thing right off the hanger -- it goes sailing across the room into the wall, with Takeshi slapping his hands on the sides of his head and 'WAHHH'ing in dismay.



... Just a normal week aboard the drifting fleet.

Now, where's someone he can train more with? He's getting stronger by the year!]

[Here's me bein gloomy again]

[No. He does not. ]

Maybe in some countries. And I really don't need a birthday. I've done without one for over six thousand years. I'm good.

Maybe we can make you some cakes! We could even do it together.

[ Aww, he's so cute!! ]

We don't have to wait until next year!

[Nooooo. He wanted the opposite of this. ]

I'm pretty sure I just said "I'm good". I really don't need one.

We normally celebrate our name day instead of our birthday, but on Daxam you don't usually need a reason to celebrate so some do both. Happy late birthday to you, Captain. [He gives him a little smile.]

[Extreme fatigue can do that.]

The ones where I'm fightin'.

[War war war, that's pretty much all he knows.]

It's been centuries since I was last used in a real war though. But more importantly - ain't you supposed to get gifts on your birthday? You want anything?

Somebody who looks smaller than they're supposed to be. [Y'know like Cloud himself] Since you definitely don't look nine.

[...Did he just get tricked?]

'm not in the best of shape, but I can do some company. It won't be very interesting probably though.

That is so, although our kitchen is a little better stocked than others! Do you want to come around here, perhaps? I am not as good as Fingon, but we had honey, from our last stop - I can show you how to make honeycakes, if you like!

My birthday wasn't really a cause for celebration where I come from. There is the tradition of Genpuku--

[She hesitates, because Takeshi is also Japanese, but from such a future time period...]

Are you familiar?

It is if you missed out on having a party on time. Did you like the pool party?

Were it not important to you, you would not have mentioned it at all, yes? So yes, yours is important.

[personal profile] asphodels 2017-10-10 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to practice! [ And she really cannot help herself. ] Shall I come to your ship, or do you want to come visit mine?

You say this, and yet I find it desperately hard to believe that would would keep it a secret.

It's probably a lot like a birthday, but I haven't been to that many yet.

[He smiles at Takeshi talking about his name.] I did not, but it sounds very fitting for you. Though you could be anything you wanted.
