video; & action (catch-all)

Who: Kaname Buccaneer & YOU
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: Yes! (Bloodsport or Iskaulit)
When: Sunday Aug 12, Mid-morning broadcast ; Throughout August for anything else

[The feed turns on to Kaname moving around her personnel office. A moment later, she grabs the comm and settles on the couch.]

Recent circumstances have me wondering, have the positions of captain and first mate come into play often here? I'm sure there have been circumstances before my arrival, so I'd like to hear about them.

[She sits back, thinking aloud.]

I think part of it is that the roles are very involved and crucial on the ships back home with several tiers of command. I knew my role and the roles of those around me as well as I could. [She smiles.] Not that the set up here isn't relaxing.

Sometimes I just think about the differences and how it would affect life here if it was more like that. [Sitting forward again, Kaname turns a little.] Maybe it wo--

[The sentence is cut off with a yell of surprise from her. Dropping to the floor with a clack, the comm spins, camera eventually stopping and focusing on what made her yell in the first place.]

((ooc; anything regarding the weird dog may also get replies from Zack! also please make up a scenario if you wanna do something else with her. this is meant as a catch all post as well.))

There are many people who have it much worse. I can't complain.

[Best not to add 'whiny' to his list of undesirable attributes, right? He helps himself to a handful of generic bar snack and opts for a topic change.]

How are you? I know that you have someone else from your home here. Mikumo?
candothat: (~(˘▾˘~))

[It was enough letting go! He's happy to talk about Mikumo instead.]

Yes, she said that she is the lead vocalist [~wocalist~] and that you are the leader, which I should have guessed. If you were in Starfleet, I'm almost certain you would be a command officer.

The hair of the group as well.

Then it's fortunate for Xaos that you are skilled at both. [Not that he personally knows much about her leadership skills, but she has the decisiveness, level-headedness, and willingness to listen that characterizes a good commander.] And also fortunate for your group. Even a very talented team needs a good leader to be successful at what they do.

[Look, he's never made friends by talking about himself and he just wants Kaname to like him.]

You say that as if you think that I may be wrong. [A smile.] I navigate. Sometimes I engineer or assist the science departments. I'm thinking of learning more about medicine so that I can work in the medbay as well.

[(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Her interest is appreciated, if puzzling.]


I can... although being able to do a number of jobs on a starship well is not very impressive compared to what many in the fleet can do.

Kaname, there are people here who can walk through solid matter and create storms from nothing and cure people with music. I think that I am being entirely fair to myself when I say that those things are more impressive than being unusually good at math.

[She gets a 'thank you' for the water and a contemplative headtilt for the question.]

It sometimes does, yes. At home, I'm not accustomed to being relatively unremarkable.

[Oh no, she's caught him! Pavel doesn't particularly like talking about his problems when he's convinced that he should be capable of fixing them himself, but she seems to genuinely want to listen and there's not a lot he can do in the face of sincere interest.]

They aren't so new... just more difficult to ignore occasionally.

[He smiles uncomfortably and takes the strangest-looking piece of fruit available.]

There is a girl in the fleet that I have been in love with for... years. Two, maybe more. And she is seeing someone now, the third person that she has been with since I realized that I love her, and so I'm thinking... perhaps there is something inferior about me. Since something similar happened with two other girls before, I mean.

[His smile disappears as he realizes that he really did just say that and wow, it's even more pathetic out loud than it is in his head and he needs to get over it, what an idiot.]
candothat: (( 〃..))

[Pavel can't purposefully hide things to save himself, but he largely makes up for that by being a master of compartmentalization. It's a useful skill for a tactician to have.

Kaname's response isn't one he was expecting.]


It's a logical conclusion.
candothat: ((._.))

[personal profile] candothat 2018-09-19 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[The piece of fruit he's toying with--not eating, he wouldn't want to eat his distraction!--gets his undivided attention. Talking is hard.]

No one that I have been in love with has been able to love me back. What else am I meant to conclude?
candothat: ((-.-))

[personal profile] candothat 2018-09-21 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
True... [look, he's a scientist, he appreciates the value of a robust and diverse population sample] ...but no one else has been particularly interested in the last decade and across four universes.

[He returns the smile, settling back into the comfort of lighthearted self-deprecation.]

You don't need to try to bolster my self-esteem, I promise that is a hopeless cause. Thank you for listening, however.
candothat: ((〃・ᵕ・〃))

[personal profile] candothat 2018-09-22 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I believe that you mean what you say.

[He carefully places the fruit back in the bowl and does not offer any further argument. It's rude to disagree too enthusiastically with someone who is being kind, even when they're incorrect.]
candothat: (( ˘_˘))

[personal profile] candothat 2018-09-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Um, rude?

This time he just ignores it.]


I talked to Kara, but that was when I first came here. So a year and a half ago, almost. And of course I have talked to the girl involved.
