Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: ANYTHING!
Action: Probably either on or around the October planet!
When: Within the first couple of days that the planet shows up.

[holy shit you guys there is a planet, like, an actual planet now. what are you gonna do? get out and look? marvel at the locals? search for aliens? stand around your ship and questioning every life choice you've made up until this point? hang around in orbit because planets are for squares?

this is mostly for early stuff, so please feel free to make your own posts in the next couple of weeks with more planet (or station, or ship!) shenanigans.]

...Yeah?

[Sounds a bit confused like- what else would be??]

[ riku glances at kaneis' hair.

then back at his face, sobering. ]

Oh, uh--well... I guess you'd need special shampoo to keep it so... [ ... ... ] glossy?

What? Don't you like having nice shampoo?

[He frowns]

Oh no, don't tell me your hair's actually supposed to be white. [THAT'S SCARY RIKU]

[ blink--WAIT ]

Hey, I'm not dirty! I just-- [ he sharply looks back down at the books he was going through. ] It's not necessary for me. So I don't really get it.

Hmmmm....

[Excuse him, he may be leaning over to examine your hair up close JUST TO BE SURE]

[ puts a hand up to stop him from examining. --as soon as he realizes that he really just did that, he jerks a hand back. ]

No books, either? You sure?

[Hand in the face! He makes a small "umph!" as he collides with the hand before pulling back. Luckily, it was mostly just his nose]

[But haha right, no messing around with personal space. He rubs his nose and continues the conversation]

Well there's some. But most of the tend to be practical stuff- scriptures, field manuals- couple of cook books.

Maybe we should try another store.

[ wait, cookbooks? ]

You found a cookbook?

[ now he's starting to look around... ]

Yeah.

[He nods towards it]

Just about the proteins though, and most things require more than just a....microwave. [That's the term, right?]

[ oh.

he sighs and kneads his forehead. ]

This is gonna be a lot harder than I thought.

[ then, he nods to the shopkeeper. ] Weren't you busy, anyway? Were you trying to get information about his place?

[ "get information" ]

Mm. [He's glad he doesn't need to eat. So so glad]

Hm? [He thinks] Oh! That! Haha, nah. I was trying to see if I could get a discount! ♥

[ ... ? huh ]

How can you get a discount by just talking to the shopkeeper?

- What? Seriously?

[YOU DON'T KNOW? YOU SWEET SUMMER CHILD]

[ he could not look more clueless. ]

What?

[He lets a little "Ha ha" sound out]

I flirt with people. With a face as good looking as mine, it sometimes makes 'em want to give me stuff!

[ ... ... ...

riku looks up towards the ceiling in thought, and then looks back at the shelving, looking at the book covers again. ]

I didn't know people actually did that. If it works, it works, I guess.

Haha, really? You've never tried it with your good looks?

[ blank stare. ]

What good looks? I look like a weirdo.

Sheesh, I didn't know your eyesight was bad...

Are you serious?

[Do I have to play a One Direction song for you]

Man, that is so sad.

[ eyeroll... jeez, kaneis. friends don't lie for friends, just tell him he's weird looking ]

Anyway... what kind of books are you looking for, anyway? I'm starting to think a manual might not be a bad idea.

[No you are a total hottie you just have a weird fashion sense ok]

Anything, really. I'm already getting bored out of my skull sitting on a ship all day.

[ that's weird, kaneis ]

Is that really all you do?

What else is there to do?

I mean, I tried counting stars, but it's kinda hard when we're constantly on the move.

Pick up a new hobby?

Maybe you could try knitting. [ he's giving him the straightest face he can. ] I hear it's kinda calming.

Knitting?

[oh my god riku that's so uncool]

And with what exactly- not like there's yarn up here!
