[A video feed starts, but the screen is black]

All right, this is--

[Sound cuts off, and then both that and the video cut back in to a young man in a bright red coat sitting in a chair, one leg crossed over the other at the knee; a bronze mechanical bird is perched on the chair's back. His brows are drawn down in a clear sign of annoyance.]

There. All right, this is Captain Marvelous, from the Pirate Sentai, Gokaiger. I'm kinda foggy on all the details here, but--

[He cuts off when the mechanical bird begins offering suggestions, and after shoving the bird off-screen, he turns back.]

Like I said, a little foggy on the details, but this is your only warning.

[A smile spreads over his face. It's not terribly comforting.]

If you've got treasure, good luck holding onto it.

[More shouting, ostensibly from the bird; the young man makes a series of clearly angry gestures at it before he speaks again.]

Dammit, Bird, I know.

So, my crew might be here! If you've seen 'em--Joe, Ahim, Luka, Gai, and the Doc, they're humans, they're trouble, they'll tell you they're mine if you ask--let me know so I can pick 'em up.

If you're my crew and you're sittin' around watchin' this--I've dropped anchor out behind whatever freakin' temple this is, Megatronus or whatever.

Anyway, onto important questions--there any meat around here?

Probably the only meat you'll find is what you kill yourself.

[Hey, at least he knows what meat IS? Since he himself isn't . . . you know . . . organic.]

As for treasure, search the Junkpiles. You'll find pretty much anything there if you keep looking long enough.

Woah, robots! Explains why nobody's got a grocery store.

[Man, this is gonna be a pain in the ass. Catching the meat adds a whole level of annoying to the actual cooking it endeavor.]

No, no, not the small stuff, man, the big-name stuff! Like Greatest Treasure in the Universe-level.

[chatterbot]

Oh maaan, bad idea with the treasure talk. Ultra Magnus is gonna be on you pretty quick. Or whatever law committee we've apparently got here. So him and some other mechs. And maybe organics. I don't know. I just got here.

[showboater]

I wouldn't have become a pirate if I cared about the law, would I?

[chatterbot]

So you're kind of a big deal in your world then? Considering you just called yourself Captain Marvelous, which, by the way, really hope you've got a shorter name. Unless you like Cappy, 'cause I think that's what I'll call you. Way less of a hassle to say.

But if you're a pirate, where's you're ship? [Oh snap!]

[showboater]

I've got the galaxy's biggest bounty, if that's what you're asking. Cappy--?! Hell no. Marvelous'll do.

[Oh, you.] Looked up lately? She's bright red and hard to miss.

[chatterbot]

There aren't any bounties here. Well, not yet. Probably not ever. There's probably a protocol against them, or there will be. And sorry, you're stuck with Cappy. [There there. Time heals all wounds.]

And I'm inside. But I'm guessing it's not the ceiling, since it's pretty not-red colored.

[lightupthenight]

shit bro you just dropped in at like
exactly the right time
so crap sometimes falls through that rift thing in the sky right
well
an entire rack of ribs and some good bbq sauce just fell through
but unfortunately i have no idea how to cook

so you wanna take this meat off my hands and we can have ourselves some Tennessee pit bbq and i will be your new best friend

[showboater]

I can throw something together, but, uh...

What's a Tennessee?

[Aliens, man.]

[lightupthenight]

shit youre from space or something okay
tennessee is a mythic place where we roast meat
and drink whiskey
and play awesome music
youd love it

[showboater]

Well, damn, sounds like my kinda place!

Either way, meat's meat, let's get cookin'.

I GUESS... WE'LL JUST DO AN ACTION THREAD?

[lightupthenight]

oh btw my name is joe
but i have no idea who the hell you are so im probably not your friend
sorry dude

[dirge]

Touch my treasure and I'll gut you.

[showboater]

You're welcome to try.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

Really? I've never gotten permission to gut someone before!

Re: [Video]

[showboater]

[Melodramatic eyerolls: not just for teens any more!]

I said you're welcome to try.

Re: [Video]

[dirge]

What makes you think I won't succeed?

[murphyslaw]

Re: video

[showboater]

Of my pirate ship?

What, is pirating not a thing wherever you're from, bugface?

[murphyslaw]

[ He's used to you people being hairy monkeys okay. You shouldn't be captaining anything. ]

Where izzz your ship?

[showboater]

[And Marvelous isn't used to the robots talking! It's a learning experience for everyone.]

Floating, obviously! It's a space ship. Since I'm a space pirate.

[rednotbluethx]

Oh, great. More of yer kind.

Hey, ain't you hoomans made of meat or somethin'? Just go eat another fleshie. Not like they'd be missed.

[showboater]

Oh great, another mouthy robot.

You go around eating other robots when you're hungry?

[rednotbluethx]

"Mouthy"? How'd you like a thruster gun in yer mouth, meatface?

An' nah. But I know some who have. Maybe I'll introduce ya to 'em some day, huh? Heh heh.

[showboater]

Wasn't too much a fan of it the last time that happened. Pretty sure nothing's changed.

Man, and they sound like such nice guys! But I think I'm good.
