⟪ and bam. on your screen, a guy, white-haired and surprisingly jovial, which is a bit at odds with what he’s about to ask. is it genuine, or is it a façade?? who knows. you might recognize him as the fool who innocently swiped left on you—or the guy who told a really bad astronaut joke on the netherwork. either way, shiro’s gonna shiro, so he’ll introduce himself again—just in case—his mouth a polite curve. ⟫

Hello. I’m Shiro… How’re you all holding up?

⟪ don’t worry, there’s no pep talk this time. not unless you ask for it, anyway. ⟫

I’ve a… I’ve a favor to ask. For my arm… or lack thereof. ⟪ point in case; his gaze drifts a bit to his right side, where his sleeve hangs empty. ⟫ I had a prosthetic once, back home, but uhm… ⟪ and there it is. a chuckle. half-strangled, half-nervous as he cuts the camera another hesitant glance and clears his throat, stifling a wince. ⟫

If anyone with skills in finding alternatives to missing limbs is somehow looking for a great candidate, well… you’re looking right at him! No complaining, high pain tolerance… and I used to be a pilot, so I can sit for as long as you need me to. This is not an emergency. You can reach out when or if you ever have time to spare.

Thanks.

⟪ ooc | voice-to-text is 100% a thing and it’s probably what shiro will use to reply to you! ⟫

⟪ that’s… yeah. keith is often unapologetic in the way he presents himself, but beneath a ton of bruised layers, he cares deeply. there’s so much more to him than the first impressions he gives off. ⟫

Something like that. He was on his way to try and undermine an oppressive empire with a group of rebels, but things unfortunately didn’t… go as planned. I guess... that’s a reality we’re all facing now.

I'm sorry to hear that.

（ so many people here, torn from their lives and their dreams... she knows that naruto will stop at nothing trying to get people home, but... ）

I guess, on the bright side, we all seem to be in pretty decent company, huh?

（ hahaha.... ha... it counts, right. ）

⟪ it super does!! ⟫

Can't complain! It's not exactly what I expected the afterlife to be, but I can't say I'm disappointed. ⟪ a beat. ⟫ ...and that's probably a little weird to say.

[craters]

Just a little.

（ but, people cope in all kinds of ways... at least he's taking a sort of healthy, if fatalistic approach. ）

Shiro — I should really be going. If you stop by tomorrow, I'll have everything ready for you. I'm down by the docks!
