[Gene's voice is the first part of his message to go out over the system.]

Hello? Oh, hey! I think it's on, that's perfect. Nice and intuitive, just the way it should be. Now I just need to...get this...thing...

[The image function clicks on, showing Gene's broad, self-assured smile. He's obviously very pleased with himself.]

Ha ha, nailed it! Awesome, I knew I'd get it right. I'll have the ins and out of this place mastered in a day, tops. So, since I've just revealed my own fabulous face to you people, why don't you all do the same? Be nice to get a look at what kind of neighbors I'm going to have around here. Name, where you're from, which house they threw you in, you know the drill.

Hell, I'll even go first. Name's Gene. Gene Starwind, co-proprietor of Starwind and Hawking, and soon-to-be-famous grappler pilot. Nice to meetcha'. I'm from a cozy little rock called Sentinel 3, nestled deep in the Hei Phong region of space. Back home I used to handle everything from bodyguarding, to retrieval, to relationship advice.

I know, I know. Pretty impressive. Please, hold your applause. Alas, I'm only one man out of my entire crew to get here, so I'm afraid fixing this little monochrome problem you all have might take a wee bit longer than usual.

What exactly have you been trained in?

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

If it's got a cutting edge, fires a projectile, or you can bludgeon someone with it, chances are I know how to use it pretty well. I can pilot a grappler ship sweet enough to land on a dime or slide straight through an asteroid cluster, out-drink the biggest guy in any bar, and talk my way out of most situations I can't handle by force.

Don't mean to toot my own horn too much, but my crew and I saved the galaxy once. We're pretty awesome.

[He raises an eyebrow.]

I am impressed by your modesty.

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

I think the history books only write about a handful of modest guys.

Re: [Video]

[thexenocide]

It says a lot about you that history books are your standard measuring of achievement.

[asthehero]

I'm not sure impressive's the word I'd use, dude. That probably doesn't mean much to a lot of us.

Re: video;

[caster_blaster]

You'd think that at least a few people would have come from places where space travel is commonplace.

[asthehero]

Earth knows about space travel, and we've sent a bunch of guys up to the moon and Mars and stuff, but that? Doesn't sound like anything I've heard of.

Re: video;

[caster_blaster]

Ah, man. People really ARE from all over the place, even time-wise. I mean, I heart it, but it was hard to imagine. We left that era of space exploration a very long time ago.

[asthehero]

Yeah? What year is it for you?

[There will be an applause appearing at Soushi's end of the bracelet because, really, he was impressed with the other man's credentials.]

It is an honor to meet you, Starwind-san. Welcome to Asgard. It is always a pleasure to meet those who hold a wonderful head on their shoulders.

[Did someone ask for an ego-inflation? Here was one, especially when he was bowing his head to the other pilot.]

As for the name of the beast of burden before you, my name is Soushi Miketsukami. I am a SS agent to my lovely master known as Ririchiyo Shirakiin-sama. At the moment she is not within this world, so I now serve those I consider friends or important acquaintances. It is an honor to be able to speak to someone like yourself. [All said quite seriously and with the best formal smile he can muster.]

Re: video;

[caster_blaster]

[It's about time somebody treated him with some respect. He's clearly soaking it right up.]

Ah, nice to meetcha', Soushi! You seem a friendly sorta' guy. Can't say I know your lady-friend, but it looks like she has a good taste in employees. She single?

Re: video;

[discrepant]

Thank you very much for your kind and generous compliment. I am undeserving of it.

[He will arc his head down as he speaks those words. It was clear he was greatly enjoying to be able to compliment someone the way he does. Even by his question over his master, Soushi's smile did not disappear from his face.]

It is difficult to say. At the moment, she is greatly engrossed with her education. Her love of knowledge, books, and school is above anyone and everything else. She is quite responsible in that aspect. [Then he wonders.] Do you enjoy the company of girls younger than you, Starwind-san? [His question will be asked in a more darker tone even if he speaks the other's name as sweetly as he has been doing so.]

Re: video;

[caster_blaster]

If anything, I like older women. I've had a few sugar mamas in my time, I'm not ashamed to say. Granted, never for very long. Those kinda' relationships are just playing around, for the most part.

Re: video;

[discrepant]

There is no need to be ashamed in admitting such matters. It is your preference and decision. No one has any right to judge you over it, if it does not concern them. [Unless it has to do with interest in his master, but those are details not worth mentioning.]

What are usually the type of older woman you are most interested in? Do you have a type?

[comeonthensexy]

Hello! I'm the Doctor, put in Sigyn. A rock, you say?

[ Tell me more. ]

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

Doctor what? You got a last name?

Well, not a literal rock. You know, a planet.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Nope. Just Doctor.

Tell me about it?

Re: [Video]

[caster_blaster]

Your parents have an interesting choice in naming conventions.

Not much to tell, really. Sentinel 3 is just like any other slum planet on the outskirts of explored space. Run-down, polluted, full of criminals. Most of the people there are just those who couldn't afford to leave for another planet or space colony.

[Video]

[comeonthensexy]

Oh, well, it was my choice, don't blame my parents.

[ Clears throat. ]

Really, shouldn't people be trying to do something about that?

[lookingfordragon]

Whats a 'Starwind'?

Matsuri Kudo, I got put in Thor here.

[caster_blaster]

It's my last name. If you're asking me whether there's an actual star wind phenomenon, I don't think so.

I mean, there's solar wind, which does come off stars, but it's not actual wind. I mean, you can't have wind in space, because there's no air. It's a vacuum. I might not have had much formal schooling, but I do know that much about space.

Thor, huh? What kinda' power does that give you?

[lookingfordragon]

Right...[She had no idea what he was saying, at all.]

I got strength, what about you?

Re: video-

[caster_blaster]

Aw, man. It seems like everyone gets a cool power, but me. Apparently I can "charm".

Why would I need that? I'm full of charm!

[lookingfordragon]

It's not that great when it makes you weaker than before.

But I haven't met anyone with charm before, so what does it do?
