Who: Manji and you!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Vanquish and Iskaulit
When: During the day

[Manji had seen Katie had left on the roster. He checked after hearing Makie had left and saw her name listed there. Still he waited another week before returning to the ship, half expecting them to come back.

He quietly looks around Katie’s abandoned room as if to assure himself she’s really gone before picking up an item and walking out again to return to the Iskaulit. It has been more of a home to him then the Vanquish has been. Which is why when he makes his broadcast it’s in the garden on the Iskaulit.]
Katie is gone if you haven’t checked the rosters. Don’t know if she left anyone anything as I didn’t check, but you can look at her room if you want. Sorry. I guess. [He’s really not good at this sort of thing.

He thinks he has turned the broadcast off as he tosses the communicator down on the ground. Maybe he did and it’s turned itself back on, but either way it gives a crocked shot of Manji standing with the item he stole from Katie’s room: her lightsaber.]
How’dcha turn it on again? [He gives it a couple wags in his hand before the beam erupts from the handle as Manji yelps in surprise.] SHIT! [At least he didn’t stab himself with it this time? He turns the handle over in his hand several times.] There we go.

[She gives him a blank look.]

Do you want me to take it from you?

[Theoretically, if she got a good look of the make of it, she could probably make one of her own. But that wasn't the point either.]

What I want is for you and your sister-- or any other family you might have to leave me the fuck alone. You go your way and I go mine. I'm immortal, bitch, so I will outlast you if you really want to do things the hard way. [Manji plays the long game now. He never has to "win" a fight he just has to outlast it.] Honestly, I'm really not interested in starting a feud. Too many hero types on this fleet that will try to involved on either side and that's just messy. Now, I've given you and your sister your space and I'll continue to do that for you too, but only if you do the same. Got it?

[He's been basically living like a hobo to avoid the Vanquished while Katie was there and he feels he's done more than his fair share to keep the peace. He won't be bullied much further.]

You do not frighten me.

[She was really only here for a last taunting for Katie's sake, but Manji was truly too annoying for it to really be worth more of her time.]

And you are not worth a feud, so do not concern yourself over that.

[At least, not without Katie being around, but honestly she already had too many enemies, she didn't need a fight in this form too.]

... Just do not let yourself get too attached to my sister's weapon.

I'll let myself get as attached as I want to because I'm not scared of you either. So piss off already. [He was here first and is too riled up now to just walk away.]

As you wish. You can play with it for now. Just do not think that it is yours to keep.

[And on that note, she'll simply vanish from his sight. Thank Atroma for not messing with her abilities today.]

[Manji was about to open his mouth to speak when Haggar suddenly vanishes. So instead of a retort all that comes out is a startled squawk of surprise. He stands tensely for a moment as if waiting to be attacked before slowly loosening up again.]

Good. Good riddance. [He'll stand around for a few moments longer as he tries to talk himself into practicing again, but it's lost all it's joy. In the end he quietly growls to himself before leaving to head back to the Vanquished.]
