[Takeshi is near the front doors of the oxygen gardens, because some people would totally have a heatherfit if he were far off in the halls. Which he was, but shhh, we don't need to let Ned or Heather know that.]

Don't fight!!

Don't fight each other, there are real monsters to fight--don't fight pirates! Pirates, please don't fight, too! --why are we all not getting along? There are scary things we can stop together; we can give each other stuff. We can be really smart and not hurt each other!

[Huff--this is hopeless, but he hates how scared or angry people are. And if not those two, then too willing to fight people who could have easily been with them.

Hitting someone who hurts your friends, he gets. Hitting a monster, he gets.

But--when did it end up where you're enemies just because?]

I saw some of the pirates. They talked to me before. They talked to you, too! Some might be bad, but maybe they're not bad; maybe they're just playing the game, and they're scared of losing. They're just trying to get their points so they don't die. [What, that makes total sense. To him it does, anyway.]

I--maybe I can talk to them. Maybe we can talk and make this better. People're getting hurt.

And stealing is wrong. Stop stealing from us! Stop shooting stuff! Why're we fighting if we don't got any reason to fight? We're not monsters. Nobody's monsters. Why are we fighting when we're all not monsters??

....

We're all just people...

... I don't get it...

Still stealin' our points to get 'em.

They just need to learn how to ask nicer. They don't know they can do that.

Maybe they think we'll trick 'em and hurt 'em if they ask nice.

Prob'ly right.

[And no clarification on which part he's addressing, there. (It's both.) He just sighs and moves on to his priorities.]

Shouldn't talk to 'em unless it's on this. In case. Don't want ya hurt.

... I think I'd hurt them first.

[I don't even mean to brag but

H E H ]

Not if they blow your goddamn head off, first.

[#pessimist]

....

They can make that much wind?

[for real]

No.

[Are you shitting him he can't tell if this is a joke.]

[but

it's not]

[Sure is

silent

y

e

p

okay guess it wasn't a joke.]

With a gun.

A windy gun??

[ BOY, YOU'RE BEING VERY STUPID. ]

A windy - no, a normal - you doing this on purpose, or what.

I'm not doing anything on purpose!

And it's okay--normal guns don't hurt me. And I'd run if I saw guns, because guns are scary.

I said your head.

Yeah, my head, too! A spider s'ploded when it was holding me but I was okay.

[are you horrified yet

because its true]

[No too busy being stuck on one detail at the moment try again later.]

That wasn't a gun.

But it blew up big and broke the floor and made fire all around me!

That's worse than a gun.

[nod nod, nod nod]

Maybe. Don't know what kinda guns they have.

[huff]

I'll be careful! If it's space lasers I'll be careful.

[GOD SPACE DAD WHY ARE YOU SO CRITICAL!!!!!]

[HUFF BACK.]

Just don't wanna have to worry about ya.

Then stop worrying lots! Would that make it better?

Wh- no, you're not supposed to do shit that makes me worry.

[KIDS HOW DO THEY WORK.]

Oh....

But I'm staying in the places with light! Like you said!

[He is. Having a really hard time fighting between that part of him that is screaming that his childhood wasn't any better, and the part that wants to scoop Takeshi up and protect him from everything that could conceivably be a threat
and that part that says that if Takeshi is worth a damned thing, that he'll be able to live through this just fine. That he'll come out on top and he'll come out worthy as one of Japan's, that thread of steel -
He's having a really hard time separating Japan from Japanese and a kid from a fucked up world from one of their own. All he knows is that he wants to see the booger.]

Hey. You wanna come here?

...

You're not gonna put me in a box 'til the pirates go away, are you?

'Cause I'll kick it open!

[SUSPICIOUS!!]

[Kid he's not Sweden.]

... a box. [Wat.] Uh, no.
