HARSH REAILTIES OF WAR

[It's yet another new Gundam recruit! Except this one doesn't have a Gundam. Also, he can't be older than 15.]

...Hey. My name is Tobia Arronax - I was going to Jupiter as part of an exchange program, but after seeing what was going on right in front of me, I decided that this is where I want to be.

I want to know the truth about the world I'm growing up in - the Jupiter Empire, and the things that are happening in the Earth Sphere, too. I don't really know how to pilot a mobile suit, but I can learn. Whatever happens, I promise right now that I'll do whatever's needed to make sure I'm not a burden!

[Tobia is in the kitchen now. Peeling potatoes.]

[He looks dejected.]

This wasn't really what I meant, but...

Aren't you the one who shot at that white robot with the force field?

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Why?

[saikyocivrobo]

That was me.

I can always get you doing dishes or peeling onions.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

How's that any different?

[of-10-faces.livejournal.com]

Nothing really, except that you're working in a different part of the kitchen. Be lucky we haven't had anything really sticky to get cleaned up or you'd be on pots.

[Tsukasa is loving this, it's like having Kazuma 2.0!]

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

Pleased to meet you, Tobia. I'm Haruka Amami.

...sorry if I freaked you out when I threatened to crush the ship...I wasn't really going to hurt anyone.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess it was all a big misunderstanding.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

It's alright.

What sort of things are you interested in, Tobia?

[space-mcgyver.livejournal.com]

You have guts. Sure, you might've been on the wrong side there, but we can't help it now, right? It's all in the past.

How goes the potato peeling?

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

It takes lots of personnel to run a battleship... and every one of them wants to eat potatoes...

[thestrayhawk.livejournal.com]

You too huh, a lot of people seem to be in the same boat as us.

Ichitaka Nagumo nice to meet you.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Same boat? You mean, you're like me?

[bottleofgundam.livejournal.com]

You're on a hard path, kid.

I guess you already were if you wanted to go to Jupiter, though.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Isn't it like they say? The things really worth doing are never easy.

[Here be Kamille, getting ready to make chocolate chip cookies for the crew.]

Thank god Tsukasa was able to find this stuff in storage...

[He hasn't noticed you yet, Tobia. Get his attention?]

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

[Naw, not yet. The smell of chocolate chip cookie dough is more interesting than some dude with a girl's name. Discreet investigation.]

[Kitchen]

[guardian-lynx.livejournal.com]

Well, we all have to start somewhere.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

I just wasn't expecting to start a new exciting chapter of my life with something even less exciting than what I was already doing.

Kitchen

[Josh had just been dropping off for a snack when he heard Tobia say that and can't help but grin a little.]

Well, everyone has to pull their weight around here, and you're lucky we weren't aiming to kill anyone except for that guy in the Blue Frame. I'm sure if you really want to be a pilot, they'll trust you with whatever's lying around once you get some training.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

I know some of the theory - I just don't have any experience at all, unless you count the five seconds I was in one today.

FNG!

[blackguard-x2.livejournal.com]

So, you're the new recruit.

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Yup, that's me.

[bakaribbon.livejournal.com]

[MUCH later, Haruka's been assigned to potato duty with Tobia. She's not happy about it.]

...

[oldtypes-ftw.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's you.
