#003 [Video]

Who: Hiro Hamada
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: Waystation/Bishop
When: Sometime after the attacks.


[The video opens on Hiro, who's looking over his shoulder at what... looks like it might have once been the Bishop. It really barely survived that battle. He looks a little exasperated, but not visibly injured--at least not what can be seen of him here.]

So, it looks like we've got our work cut out for us. [he glances back to the camera.] For everybody who doesn't know, my name is Hiro Hamada. I'm the engineer on the SS Bishop. I know there aren't enough engineers to go around for the repairs we all need, so I'm going to offer my services. I know my way around things like this. If you need help on your ship, let me know. If you can't do the repairs, but you can work to get parts, I'll take that in payment.

[he looks like he's about to sign off, but he pauses.]

Oh, right. If you're not an engineer in augment, but you can help, make sure you're pulling your weight. The faster we can get done repairing, the faster we can go back to our lives.

He's from my world and he--knows me.

[Even though Adra doesn't remember the relationship, which is increasingly distressing.]

I'm just concerned.

[ tadashi holds up on hand, palm out, as if apologetic for intervening in the first place. ]

We'll take care of him until you get here.
hymnals: just where our lives are going to (stand up and let's start showing)

[Adra runs a hand through his hair. His concern is two-fold: the concussion, and Bel's status with regard to his mana addiction. Adra's hoping the ruby didn't shatter during the attack.]

Right. All right. Thank you.

[HE'S COMIN'.]
hymnals: they say that danger's gone away (did you read the news today)

[Just frikkin' rushing for a shuttle.]

--yeah, that's me. 'Adra's fine if it's a mouthful. Or whatever else.
hymnals: you hold me in the dark when storms arrive (the only animal i couldn't fight)

[Adra winces. He's calmer now that he knows there's no immediate danger, and that calm now dips down into something more somber, more wistful.]

I--I don't remember him. He says we were on some island together, and he was my apprentice ... that he promised to find me.

[His ears droop.]

I need to look after him.
hymnals: to go around (but there's not much love)

[personal profile] hymnals 2015-04-07 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm thinking I might need to do more than that.
hymnals: i got mine (you'll get what's yours)

[personal profile] hymnals 2015-04-07 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I've got kids at home. Little ones. My whole life is loud noise.

[Adra touches the thing on his neck. He'd been inclined to rip it out, but thought better of it. Still, its presence annoys him, and he hates having to think about it for even a second.]

Ugh. Lab support? Yeah. Because I'm a priest, I guess, if in fact there was any logic to this violation.
hymnals: you bring them right back to me (and every time i forget those things)

[Adra rubs his chin.]

He's a doctor?

[Adra's inclined to say, 'seems young,' but Adra was barely a teenager when he started training in the priesthood, so ... seems likely, he supposes.]

[That does sound impressive.]

I'm no tinker myself, but I respect the profession. Especially when it's put towards helping people.

[He sighs; rubs the back of his neck.]

Most tinkers I know are much more ... bomb focused.
hymnals: you're the pretender (what if i say i'm not like the others)

[He shuts one eye.]

On purpose, or by accident?
hymnals: that whole defense (done pleading ignorance)

[personal profile] hymnals 2015-04-14 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's ... something, I guess. Goblin design philosophy trends towards fully intending to harm.

Ha ha. You're fucking cute, kiddo. It's just a style of engineering.

[A beat.]

Admittedly, pioneered by actual goblins. But plenty of other people take up the 'let's build the biggest, most unstable bomb we can imagine and then paint a smiley face on it' cause.
hymnals: that's living and dying (watch the leaves in the summer breeze)

[Occasionally.]

Glad to hear it.
