hey guys when are we finally gonna name this planet? something COOL. because i got some good ones!

what if we call it "the extreme teen bi-ball"? for the two suns! or "spume"! i think spume is a pretty good one.

how do we vote on this? who's got ideas? if we get enough we could just use a different one every day. yknow keep it fresh!

[ anyway sorry, but merle is... here.

(i've come back from hiatus to say. 1. he icly forgot all about offering dance lessons probably within a week of doing it, and 2. if anyone wants/needs to discuss handwaving an old thread, my office hours are open.) ]

[ When Wash appears onscreen, it's obvious he's upset over something and trying and failing to hide that. Although he's got his helmet off for the sake of the video he's still wearing the rest of his armor, the grey metal reflecting a bit of sunlight. Anyone looking closely will notice a splatter of blood on his shoulder that he missed when he cleaned himself up for this, and his hair is still mussed from the helmet. Really, he should have taken the time to go home and change and make sure he looked presentable, but. He's not exactly thinking things through well right now. No, he just knows that Kyna wouldn't want him to withdraw like everything in him is screaming to do, and that training himself to exhaustion will be much easier with help. So here goes, before he loses his nerve. He'll keep it short, don't worry. ]

I need sparring partners. The monsters aren't enough of a challenge. I don't care if you've got armor, or what weapons you want to use, just that you won't hold back. And there are probably a dozen offers like this already but if anyone wants to learn to fight, that's sorta what I was in charge of back home. I'll take as many people as are interested, I just really need to keep busy right now.

[ He starts to lower the phone to turn it off, because awkward as that felt at least it's done, but the pile of monsters he's killed catches his attention. They shouldn't go to waste. ]

Oh. Right, uh. I guess if anyone wants monster meat, I've got a ton here.
