Who: Mantis and All!
Planetside - Action
Libraries. They're repositories of information and a likely candidate for finding information on...just about anything, really. Mantis is therefore very soon distracted by the possibility of entertainment across the many star systems. He's up off his feet, that is to say, in the air and going between shelves with books trailing after him like ducklings. A world of failed dreams ought to have at least one decent novel hidden among the relics of the past. He pauses at several points before setting books down or picking new ones off the shelves. He may yet be a while with all of it.
Iskaulit - Broadcast/Action
In contrast to his grace in the air, Mantis is still struggling to maintain composure and grace upon the ice, but he is trying damn it. The video feed opens up to him doing slow, large spins on the ice, staring down as much at his feet as he is the rink itself. He doesn't stumble or find his knees buckling nearly as often as he used to, although he does visibly strain from all the bending he needs to do in order to turn smoothly. He holds his hands out as he goes into slightly wider spins. Then he rises suddenly, gasping when his feet leave the ice, if only by a small amount. Mantis quickly catches himself before he can spill out on the rink and floats low in the air. He does a small turn in the air, looking down at his limbs before settling back down on his feet.
"Not quite..."
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes

Figure skating the way he does it is extremely competitive back home. [He stands up slowly, sort of unfolding his limbs as he does so.] They have medals, point systems, and the slightest shift in muscle can mean everything. Sort of like gymnastics with an added degree of difficulty.
Re: [video]
Because you put swords on your shoes and run around on a slippery surface?
[video]
[Mantis kicks off again, this time opting for lazy circles and figure eights. The slightest shift in his weight helps him pick up a bit of speed.]
Knives, but yes. It's an simple method of traveling across an icy surface. You need something sharp to cut into it.

[He's onto you!]

[Said as he spreads his arms out to turn slowly.]
If my way of being social is interpreted as being "nice", it is an added bonus.
[video]
[And you help prove his point that everyone can change if given another chance.]

It's a struggle. All this peace is unnatural for me. I almost liked that planet with the cannibals.

A sport built around gliding on top of knives. You might be right.

I only cheat when I feel like I'm at risk for breaking a bone. Lately, that's just jumps. This sport is surprisingly easy to get into.

[video] Sorry? I'm not sure I understand.

[video] I've done that! The whole response is typed up and then I'm looking at the wrong icons.
