W0 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ Callisto can be found in the simulation room... They are very bright yellow in what seems to be a simulated dark place. ]

[frotag]

[ hewwo... give ichiban a couple of seconds to let his eyes adjust to the dark as he walks into the simulation room, arms crossed as he approaches callisto. ]

Reportin' in about weapons?

[dropoffs]

[ Oh, Ichiban... Your eyes adjust and there's fortunately an overhead light. It is mimicking natural light and, well, there seems to be one thing in this room. It's a piano. ]

What is your experience with large-scaled weapon maintenance?

[frotag]

[ piano... he is definitely confused, but intrigued! ]

Uh... define "large-scaled"? Like, how big are we talking here?

[dropoffs]

[ The piano exists. ]

Directed-energy weapons tailored to clearing asteroids and debris. They range from the size of one manual cannon that uses a metal ball as ammo to two two-story houses.

[frotag]

Like Space Invaders?

[dropoffs]

What is "Space Invaders?"

[ Can you feel the frown and confusion. ]

W1 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ We are here at the Rec Room, pondering over games. There's so much to choose from... ]

[frotag]

[ having had the most senior crew interaction so far with callisto, ichiban is just a little more wary than he'd usually be as he enters the rec room... gomen, metis, he's trying. ]

Anything in particular catch your eye, Metis-san?

[dropoffs]

[ Fair when it's Callisto of all people, though there's a blip of a red ! in front of their helm they offer warm pleasantries. ]

Ah, Sir Kasuga, hello. Afraid I wouldn't even know what to begin with! Outside some card games and Mahjong, my knowledge is pretty limited.

[frotag]

First off, uh, you don't gotta do the whole "sir" thing. Just Kasuga is fine.

Second, you play mahjong? [ im sorry but there's a twinkle in his eye ]

[dropoffs]

Kasuga, then.

[ A small laugh. ] It's been years since I've tried my hand at it, but I had an opportunity to learn back home.

[frotag]

Hey, I'm no master either, but that never stopped anyone from having fun while throwin' tiles! I'm down for a couple of hands if you are.

W4 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ Sure, they can be planetside, where Metis looks at everything with a bright curiosity. Exploring, adventuring.. how exciting. His hood is pulled down, so those red ears of his flick idly. ] Have you come by down already, Kasuga? Or is this your first step down onto the planet like myself?

[frotag]

[ yea!! to perhaps better fit in with the locale, ichiban's opting to go for the suit today... lotta red matchies with metis. he waves when he catches up to the boy, hands in his pockets as he gives the area a cursory glance. ]

This is my first time here, but... it kinda feels like some places I've been to in the past. Heck, there are even some parts of it that make me feel like I'm back home, heh.

W4 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ so when ganymede said they could be found in the mega park's western area, they meant that they could possibly be found. maybe.

if you head towards the mass of various sized dogs that have converged on a figure that's laying on the ground, that could possibly be the CCO? ]

[frotag]

[ THIS IS SO FUNNY blease help our ganymede... with a chuckle, ichiban wanders over to the dogpile (lol, lmao) and crouches down next to it. ]

Gany, that you under there?

[dropoffs]

[ WOULD YOU NOT ALSO DO THIS IN A PARK FULL OF DOGS? i know i would.

but ganymede's telltale black and purple helmet becomes visible as the dogs have a new friend to pay attention to, and they turn their head a little towards ichiban. there's a laugh in their synthesized voice. ]

Hey, Ichiban. Figured now was a good a time as any to catch a breather.

[frotag]

[ you know... that is so fair. case in point, he grins and holds out his arms to ruffle any doggo that wants to come meet friend. ]

You can breathe in that furpile?

[dropoffs]

Helmet helps. [ raps on it with their right hand, which ting tings very lightly. after unmasks you now know this is because it is shiro voltron but that's besides the point. ]

But the physical weight might make it harder. Oof.

W4 MONDAY

[dropoffs]

[ station time station time, io is here and dressed out of uniform to do some exploring! ichiban can find them rocking on their heels outside of a strip with a variety of shops - smoke shops, bars souvenir shops, stands for drinking and eating outdoors beneath glowing neon hardlight overhangs. ] I have... maybe overestimated just how lively this place is...

[frotag]

[ (lex luthor unmasking the flash voice) i have no idea who this is

which is to say, ichiban approaches the figure with just a hint of caution... for convenience's sake, we can say they're literally the only other person in the immediate area at the moment, so that there's less of an opportunity for confusion and mistaken identity. ]

. . . Io?

[dropoffs]

[ my favorite meme. they do at least have a jacket on with a designation upon closer inspection, which should at least help—eudora branded! they'll respond to the name easily, offering a nod. ] That would be me. Came to have a look around as well?

[frotag]

Uh, hey. And yeah, you could say that... I came by because of your senior shadowing post, actually.

[ to better fit in with the hustle and bustle of station rodin, he's wearing his suit rather than his vacation getup. it works, tbh. ]

Not used to entertainment centers?

W5 TUESDAY

[dropoffs]

[ yippee!! thebe will be working out in the cargo bay in some suits that are currently hanging from a couple of small apparatuses. thebe has some polishing rags out as well as some other tools like cans of compressed air and such. she'll pause and give ichiban a wave. ] Hey there, Ichiban.
