[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...

Pretty sure half of what they'd be dropping weighs more than you, buddy.

[ gosh children ]

[huff]

I'm strong! I'll catch them just fine!

How come everybody says stuff like that? I can do it!

Yeah, sorry about that. I guess people just assume tiny children can't bench press more than the weight of their own head.

[ gosh children seriously what are you ]

Well, they're wrong! I'm super tough!!

[FLEXES LIKE AN AWESOME DUDE]

Right, obviously. I'm sure you're a regular superhero.

[ making fun of children, new low?? well not so new but definitely low. ]

But I'm tough! I am!!

How can I show you? I can prove it!

Tell you what, I'll believe that you're super strong if you stay in your room until the pirates go home.

... That doesn't prove that I'm strong...

Maybe not, but I'll take it on good faith.

[one sec, he's being brave today]

That's dumb!

I can throw something and catch it in the air; that's a lot better way to show. A lot better!

... like what?

[ don't throw dangerous things child please

he does not want to be murdered by your babysitter for this ]

Hmmm... I can--throw this!

[He points the camera to a wheelbarrow--

yes a wheelbarrow]

Maybe I shouldn't throw that cuz it's big--but I can hold it up! I'll hold it with one hand! Will that be good enough? Will that prove I'm strong?

No-

I mean, no, please do not throw a wheelbarrow.

[ WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. ]

... Should I just hold it up? Here--!

[oh god he put down the comm

it's just staring at the ceiling

what's that metallic noise what's that sound

look what you've done]

Oh my god-

[ yes yelling at the screen is going to help

this is like watching a scary movie thanks takeshi ]

Just put it down, I believe you-

[and suddenly, he pops back into screen excitedly--with the wheelbarrow held high above his head. Totally oblivious to Josh's horror.] You do?? You believe me, for reals? See--I told you, I could do it!

[And then he gently puts the wheelbarrow down with one hand, holding it by one of the handles.

It's as ridiculous as it sounds.]

[ no it is even more ridiculous than it sounds and he is so done with this ship. ]

... where are you from, exactly?

Earf-th! Earth!

[stupid kid lisp

he'll conquer you yet]

That's where I'm from. I'm from Japan!

Right, obviously.

Is this a Japan where people have superpowers, or... ?

Nooo, it's all kinds of people! If you die you play the game and you put on the suit! The suit makes you stronger. It makes you fast, too. Really fast!

[like outrunning cars fast

totally normal conversation]

[ false, not totally normal ]

... wait, are you saying you died?

[um, well........]

Yeah... Everyone who goes to the aparpment died!

[ he should probably be more disturbed by this than he actually is. ]

Obviously.

What apartment?

Um... The aparpment with Gantz. He's in a big black ball!

He makes us go on missions, so we get points. Then if we got lots, we can go home. For real.

[ what the hell ]

Pretend I didn't ask. I'm glad you're not dead here, at any rate. Maybe you should try to stay that way, you know, no pirates and fewer wheel barrow tricks. Not that I don't think you can handle both, because obviously you can, just - for our sakes, okay?
