[ After being shown the observatory and being told of the events as well as the objectives he must do, Izumo moves out to the hall, leans on the wall next to a window showing the infinite expanse of space, and gets out the handy-dandy tablet given to him. A few minutes of fiddling with it, he manages to make it work (it's almost similar to the ones back home), and decides to look through the network.

Hmm. ]

[ he almost wanted to let totsuka know, but. come on, totsuka? really? he doesn't believe the guy's breathing and talking until he sees for himself. ]

Looks like you're all doing fine down there. How's things?

( text, public. )

Space. Didn't think this would actually happen, especially to me. Never really dreamt of becoming an astronaut when I was younger.

[ ... ]

Ah, but we're all here for a very important cause, isn't it? Guess it's time for introductions. Name's Kusanagi, I'm sure it's a pleasure to meet any of you fine people.

Nah. Trust me. Way behind the rest of the universe.

[He'd know. He was an astronaut, once. Didn't end well.]

[ex_longanimity327]

Now you've piqued my interest, stranger. I feel as though there's a story behind that.

[getoffmyearth]

There's well over a decade's worth of stories about that, but I'll summarize for you. Once you get past our solar system, space shuttles and big bubble helmets look more than a little bit silly and inefficient.

[ex_longanimity327]

Life beyond our solar system, huh? Not to mention, the technology, I'm guessing.

[ still, he's always interested in a good story, no matter how long. ]
