Hi, I'm Takeshi; I was gone for a long time!

[Best way to re-introduce yourself: name, followed by exclamation of your absence. It seems legit.]

I didn't know, I swear, pinky promise; I woke up and it was all kinda different, but not that different. I, um, I dunno who left like me, so I wanted... I wanted t'see who was still here. I didn't say goodbye to anyone... and... it's really important to get to say bye. But at least I get to say hello again! Hello! [Wait no, we already did that. Been there done that. He smiles, a bit more confident.] If I never met you before, though, we should talk! It's good to know everyone here, that way you can be friends and help each other and be happier. And being happy is really important, and... I like having more friends. An' my brain is kinda fuzzy, because... I feel like I can't remember things as good...

Did everyone get friends yet? Make sure you're with your friends a lot. And don't be in the halls by yourself!

I learned that from before. The halls are bad. Baaaad news! Plus it's dark, and some people are scared of the dark.

[He puffs out his chest a bit.]

But not me!! M'not afraid of the dark, because it's not a real monster! There's bigger worster monsters anyway. But, um — [where was he going with this... ah, yes!] I have a list... It's a list of all my old friends! I dunno who came back and who stayed and who is gone, so... I copied the names. If people rec'nize them, lemme know! Cuz a lot of them were gone, but maybe they came back...

[They're important names. They're some of his friends — you gotta' look out for your friends.]

[IT WAS A NICE ATTEMPT. Too bad most of them have left, but you can't blame a kid for trying.]

I'm glad that you have your parents here. [Not that any of them being here was good, but it's always best that he has someone who can defend him if the need arises.] I have...my parents here as well and my brother. So, I know how lucky I am as well.

And it's good that you don't open the door if it's unsafe. But, have you been to the Oxygen Gardens yet? They're very pretty and are normally safe for everyone.

[throwsdown]

Whoooa, your parents and your brother?!

[He wishes he had a brother. Then maybe things wouldn't have been so lonely... but then, his brother might've gotten hurt, too, so maybe it's a good thing he was alone.]

I go to the Oxygen Gardens a lot! My mom and dad work there lots; I'm gonna be the morale officer!

[borntorebel]

Yes, I am lucky in that regard.

[If you call lucky being stuck on this ship with a brother who is four years behind you and parents who should both be dead all at the same time. But, she can't look a gift eeyopie in the mouth either.]

That is a very important position. The Tranquility could use with a bit of morale. How would you like it if I helped you with that?

[throwsdown]

[Hey man Takeshi would count it as a win, unless they don't like you or something.

Then it's super duper unlucky.]

You can help! We just gotta make sure everyone's happy and nobody's fighting and everyone tries to work together!

[borntorebel]

[Well, she'd like to think her family likes her, okay. They are all pretty awesome.]

That sounds like it would be hard. Perhaps we should recruit others to help us. [She thinks for a moment.] Actually, I might know someone who could be of help.

[throwsdown]

Ohhhh—! More help's good, that's real good!

Who's that??

[borntorebel]

Yes, I figured that more help would be useful for your venture.

As for who it is, her name is Didi. If you'd like, I can introduce you to her?

[Let's not talk about how Leia is talking about introducing a child Death.]
