#004 [Accidental Video]

[everydayhero]

Who: Hiro Hamada
Broadcast: Fleetwide Video
Action: Bishop
When: 5/17



[it appears that the atroma is tired of one of its star ratings-grabbers not doing a damn thing. for the entire duration of april, hiro was fixing ships and running jobs for parts. for the month of may, he's been using those parts. he's currently working with black paint of some sort, with music playing from seemingly nowhere (looks like the sound system he kept talking about got completed).

[if you haven't sought him out, and you're not regularly training him, hiro's been completely radio silent while he's been working. in fact, he hasn't even answered text messages in a couple days.

[when he finishes coating the surface he's working on in the paint, he lowers the mask he's wearing and sighs, wiping (and smearing paint on) his forehead. he looks like a mess.

[but hey, at least he's alive!]

Comments

[everydayhero]

[oh god hiro is jumping like 2 feet in the air and then hunching over and putting his own communicator to the side]

I'm sorry! It was an example of what not to do!

[hymnals]

[Oh, for fuck's sake. Adra wants to go after Bel immediately, but Hiro's right in front of him. Best to start at the beginning. He rubs his temple, and exhales slowly. His tone softens.]

Don't cower. It's all right. Just--tell me how this got started, please.

[He holds out half of a buttered muffin.]

Oh. Eat this, first.

[everydayhero]

[muffin??? muffin. yes.]

Uh--thanks. Sorry... We were just kind of poking fun at each other when he said something mean about humans. It's not like it bothered me, but there are scarier humans in the fleet than me, you know?

[he takes a bite of the muffin...]

... Didn't think it'd be pretty if he said it to the wrong guy. Just from experience.

[another bite]

This is good...

[hymnals]

[Groan.]

Xenophobia is a problem for my people. Belthazar's only speaking out of ignorance.

[He offers Hiro the rest of the plate. Egg and more muffin.]

[everydayhero]

[foooood *^*]

I know he still likes me. Even when he's being a jerk.

[hiro don't talk with your mouth full]

[hymnals]

[Adra doesn't mind. He's just happy that Hiro's getting some NUTRITION.

Happy too, that Hiro's such a chill little dude.]

Yeah? That's a pretty mature viewpoint.

[everydayhero]

[thank you for dading when my brother is out with his girlfriend since they are the only other two that do on the regular]

You think so? I mean, he's literally cried on me and he runs in all excited when he has stuff to show me. Saying something insensitive doesn't really change that, right?

... Also, is he gonna be okay?

[hymnals]

Cried on you, huh.

[Oh, Bel. So full of feelings. Adrasteius shakes his head.]

I'd already be running after him if I thought he wasn't okay. As it stands, I've learned that sometimes it's best just to let a person be upset for a while.

[everydayhero]

... Well, you know him better than I do.

[rubbing the back of his neck a bit as he finishes up the food. kid really wolfed that down.]

... Sorry I ticked him off. I didn't mean to make him explode.

[hymnals]

I don't, actually. I'm just old, and guessing.

[Adra shuts one eye. There's a pop of magic, and another fresh muffin appears right in his palm.]

For example, I'm guessing that I'm not the one who needs any apologies.

Still hungry?

[everydayhero]

... Yeah. I could eat.

[like a horse, probably

[let's not think about how much i need to apologize to belth ok]
