WHO "Ino" & YOU
BROADCAST Fleet-wide video!!
ACTION Starstruck for anyone that might look in the cargo bay.
WHEN April 12th.
[ Ino, what'choo doin'? She looks... strained. Stressed, but trying to hold it together. She's sitting in front of the camera, taking a deep breath as if to prepare herself for what she is about to say. ]
Hey, guys. This is really sudden, but I need to ask a favor of anyone who'd listen. It's important! I've got this friend... he's got a huge problem. Back where he's from, some people can hold a lot of powers in them, not magic or anything like that, and they need to take even more in sometimes or they go crazy. Or die.
Does anyone have any powers they could... lend him? He'll give them back, he promises, it's just—[ She reaches up, clutches at her chest like it's hurting her to think about it. Judging by the slight sheen of sweat on her face, maybe it is. ]—he needs help really badly. I'm worried about him, and there's not much I can do...
[ Her head dips, long bangs covering her face before she sucks in a breath, part for the show and part out of real difficulty in keeping herself together right now, before her hand snaps out and she turns off the feed to collect herself. ]

[ It's... more than Aaron's expected of anyone who's mad at him. He doesn't understand why, if Adra hates what he did, he isn't being kicked to the curb or told to just cut it the fuck out. Instead Adra is talking to him. ]

I'm trying to help you, motherfucker. I don't know what kind of shitty world you popped in here from--and no offense on that count, most worlds are disgraceful piles of tyranny and crap--but you're not fucking there right now. You're here. And, for the most part, from what I've seen ... these people look after each other.
But it's hard to help someone who doesn't respect the first fucking thing about you. Like your damned face, for example.

Philosophy's not my strong suit. You seem like a proper dick, so why bother?

[ Legit, he's trying to figure this out. How does someone decide when it's right to do something if you don't like it? ]
no subject
[and here he begins to gesticulate angrily with his free hand--]
nice is usually the enemy of good because most 'nice' people are just fake fucks who would burn your earth and salt it the minute you looked away and let them!

[ He still hasn't let go. The feeling is placebo now but that's as much help as any. His mental edges are fraying from the proximity to power that he isn't taking, but even that is better than the total emptiness partially soothed by Adra's magic. ]
And even if they're not, how the fuck do you tell?

Fine. So you're good and definitely not nice, and nice is actually shitty. Got it.
no subject
No, not quite. Look, here's the point: if someone needs help, I help them. Doesn't matter if I like them personally or not.
no subject
[ It's almost a badge of pride, or maybe he's just so twisted up that being driven to this point is hilarious. It is, in its own way. ]

I saw plenty of bright-eyed volunteers on that post. You're going to be fine. The people of this Fleet--they're helpers. By and large.
no subject
Which is why I asked in the first place. There's just... not enough people, not enough powers around here.
no subject
[He sits down right on the ground, because he's exhausted now, both mentally and physically. He wipes perspiration off of his forehead and sighs.]
Anyway. It's like I said. Give people a chance. Approach them with respect. You might be surprised at what you find.
no subject
Am I gonna have to carry you or something?

[His eyes are half-lidded, and his voice--unusually deep for his size, typically booming--has gone down to a mutter.]

Go on, then.
