Getting off on the wrong foot [Video]

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[...Well, this was a lovely way to get into a new place, wasn't it?

The feed opens to this gray-haired boy, and behind him is a conveniently placed set of ruins from the Moonlight Bridge for him to subtly gawk at for a few moments before finding his bearings and realizing said feed was on to begin with. Huh. How'd that happen? Was it a part of the welcoming to this new city he's found himself in?

He doesn't seem too fazed by what he was looking at, though. ...On the surface, at least.]

Ah.

...Perhaps I'm asking a rhetorical question, but did I pick a bad time to get here? [Bad time was relative, but this seemed particularly terrible a moment for him to arrive, seeing the damage...]

Not the best of words to use around him.]

...No, but I'm willing to learn?

[...INTERNAL SQUEEING COMMENCE.]

"Come to the Nadesico, perhaps we can get you doing some of the heavy construction."

The Nadesico? Where's that supposed to be?

[Blink.]

"Normally I keep her at the park but since I've had to stand in for the com network I have her above the arena. Find a large clear area and I can bring her down."

[A nod, and the feed goes dark for the moment, though he does bring it back up to talk with a few others while he's on the way; it's only a while later -- about fifteen minutes to twenty -- that he finds a decent place for the Nadesico to settle, and in the process, find a familiar place from home.

The Dojima House.]

Sorry if I took too long.

After coordinates are given, it will take Ruri some 15 or 20 minutes to land the Nadesico, its a fairly sizable warship so she doesn't notice, but the big damn ship lands and a ramp to a cavernous hangar opens. A short while later Ruri coming down it.

"Its all right, landing isn't easy."

[...

Forgive him if he gapes for a while, Ruri--because the way he reacts to the sight of a gigantic, futuristic battleship can be summed up in five words:

IS THIS THE REAL LIFE???

...the slight quirk upward on his lips was only there for a brief moment. She saw nothing.]

At least you made it...are you sure about this, though?

[She did mention the ship was being used as a substitute for this network thing...]

"I've had several robots just left on my ship. I'm not certified to pilot them and if you know how we can probably get more done."

Like I said, I can at least try to learn how on the fly. That shouldn't cause too many problems, right?

[Hopefully the only issue will be how long before he pulls it together and not 'how many times will he make it worse by sheer bad luck'.]

"There are relatively few obstructions in the park to practice around."
