Alrigh', there's lots 'f bribes goin' around, which 's great....f'r good stuff mostly, since Romeo's pretty great too...but I ain't got a bribe, I got a threat!

[One can practically see the steam of determination blast through his nostrils as he exhales there. Or wait maybe that was smoke??

Don't worry about it.

Katsuya holds up a sheep.]

See Amar here? Amar gets sheared a bunch after a mission. Like, a whole bunch. Gotta get rid'f all tha' wool from usin' cotton guard like a big bowlin' ball shield. Anyone ever see when half th' kitchen sinks were full 'f wool? Tha's why. They get big an' round an' stop fittin' through th' doors.

An' I gotta soak it after trimmin' it off, b'fore it can be used f'r anythin'. Like yarn an' such.

But ehhh... [He grimaces, and shrugs.] ....Bein' real, ev'n if all of us voted, no way we'd get th' pet care carriage tha' fast, so here's a better idea. Vote f'r yer small stuff, sure- but eh...try puttin' one 'r two toward a spot where we can keep all th' animal hair, capisce? It'll mean less for whoever's cleaaaaaaninnnnn..~

[So he says with a grin at the camera, before Amar the wooloo simply bleats.]

Oh an' uh...I mean I ain't one t' gripe abou' sharin' cots with animals 'r anythin', but th' title is 'Groom an' KENNELS' an' all, which 's pro'bly better than lettin' these guys run all over the train whenever righ'? So look, jus' toss a vote 'r two there while yer goin' nuts over everythin' else, I can't handle 600 on my own.

[A pause as he moves to turn the video off, before he shoots back into the screen.] OH AND UH, THANKS T' WHOEVER PUT IN ANOTHER VOTE F'R IT, YER GREAT!

[Okay now he's done.]

Yeah, all of them are older than me. Most by enough years that they were the ones who helped to look after me.

[Yeah, he understands. A lot of people get stuck on that part]

A son? I'm the youngest and I'm the only boy. Our family is still... well, we follow the old ways of inheritance so I am the one in charge of our family's business. My sisters have helped with it, but they weren't the ones given the business and even my eldest sister was never expecting it.

Ooooohhhhhh... [That makes. An unfortunate amount of sense, indicated by the grimace.] Yeeeeesh, not ev'n clearin' space can get rid of it huh...

...Talk abou' lottery odds there though, y'd think it wouldn't take 27 t' get there...least y' had a big family I guess? Jeeze, talk about a lot on yer shoulders too...

It might be different for others, but we are an old family. It's just the way things are for us.

[Not that he hadn't considered a few times trying to hand over the business to his sisters, but in the end, it was too ingrained in him than to actually try that. Not the lease because his sisters would protest and question why he wanted to do that.

He nodded] I guess I always have. There was never an option to not take one a lot.

Man now I gotta wonder how old old is....

[~~old as balls katsuya~~

Adjusting the spindle so that he can keep the yarn going, he blinks.] Ah geeze, they all gonna be alrigh' back at yer place then? Did y' get t' send a message back or were y' not on th' train at tha' point?

[He wasn't paying attention to everyone when they saw weird mushroom planet, so sue him!]

We are from the time before the colonies. My family helped to build and provide financing. We have always been one of the wealthiest families in space.

[That old. That they had money before even getting there]

I would think that they would be. If I wasn't there, my sisters would hold down the family business. They have done it before. My friends should be fine. I did try to send them a message, but who knows if they got it.

...Bein' from a time that doesn' have colonies, I got no idea how long ago tha' even means, but I'm gonna guess it's old...

[The sort of tired confusion fades out with a blink though, Katsuya sobering up somewhat slowly. With a slow nod, he goes silent, at least for a short while.]

...Well. ...If it was at tha' mushroom place, I had a good feelin' about those ones anyway, [He tries to offer.]

We have started counting time in After Colony for about 200 years now. That was officially when the idea for colonies was first finalized rather than the completion. But it was long before that. We went into space being able to help provide and build.

[He smiled] I am trying to be optimistic about it. I hope that my friends did get it.

Maybe one day we'll find out then.

[Hopefully they find out, anyway.]

Yeah, maybe we will. I hope for everyone's sake that we eventually get proof that the messages were received.

[He sighed] I suppose we are all in the same boat there.
