maaaybe ataraxion this upcoming app round; canon is gantz

[Whelp. Takeshi isn't sure about any of this. Then again, he's been poofed places so many times...]

I've never gone on a mission without my papa.... We got separated, but I know he's gonna come back.

[The usually quiet child isn't sure what to do, and it shows in his tone. His dad always made him feel safer. He always protected him. Does this mean he has to be alone again?]

I don't wanna go back to the way it was—I don't wanna be alone again...! I wanna win the mission and go home so I can see him and my friends. I don't think that I can be as strong, like he is, or like Miss Reika is... but I'll try my best and make sure all the monsters are gone. I'll throw them down hard.

And I'll get lots of points and make them real proud. I can do it!

AHH TAKESHI ;u;

[There's something more than a little worrisome about what this human boy is saying and Curly can't turn a blind eye to it. She speaks softly, so as not to startle him.]

What kind of mission are you going on?

:')

[throwsdown]

[... What's goin on with your ears, lady. :|a]

I don't know. It's in space, and there's scary things there. I don't really like scary things, but I'll be smart and be really careful.

...

I just don't wanna go without my dad...

Cripes, I need to catch up on the manga. I'm at least 10 chapters behind, probably.

[All the better to hear you with, little man. Also handy for picking up transmissions and... uh, you know, other robot junk.]

I understand - I don't like scary things either. It can be tough facing them when you're by yourself, huh? [Kneels beside him] My name is Curly. What's yours?

It's... weird as usual |D;;

[throwsdown]

Takeshi. [TRUSTING STRANGERS IS A NO-GO. But talking to them in the safety of outside games should be aight.] ... Curly's a weird name, but I like it.

['Weird' is a big part of his diet, okay.]

I fought scary things a few times; I was a lot scareder then than I am now, though...!

Hahah, by this point I'd be concerned if it was anything else.

[Can't really blame him for being a bit wary of her but is grateful he seems to be receptive, at least. Wait, did he say...]

...You fought them?

[throwsdown]

Mhm...! I used papa's fighting. I throwed them like he does, so when they tried to hurt me, I could stop them!

[rickon]

Shaggydog can help us!

[throwsdown]

Is that your pet? Does he bite?

[:C I LOVE DOGS, let me see him when I get there, bro...]
