Hana had been doing this since the early hours of the morning. Well, it might have been morning. His internal clock was still all screwy from this ships' sense of time so it would be more accurate to say that he'd been doing this since he'd woken up.

Details aside, he wandered up and down the many halls of the ship (effectively getting himself pretty lost but he didn't mind), a determined look on his face and a purpose in his stride. Sure, he eventually had to stop for some food because he was never in a good mood when he was hungry, but after that he immediately set about on his mission once again.

His mission was that he would traverse as much of the ship as he possibly could, as many times as he could, periodically placing a hand near his mouth to amplify his voice and calling out to the many inhabitants of the ship.

"HEY! ARE THERE ANY OTHER TEENS OR KIDS HERE!? I'M LOOKING FOR ANY OF THE OTHER KIDS ON THIS SHIP!"

Thankfully, Hana was nice enough to stop and talk to anyone who wanted to question his new odd pass-time, be they child or not.

She had decided to slum it this time: instead of the Hit girl persona she was just plain old Mindy Macready in dungarees and pigtails and a black and white checkered shirt. She hadn't really felt like bothering with anything fancy, and though it would have been the perfect time to wear what Sasami had picked out (she had actually liked it a lot), she was pretty lazy right now.

Or was, anyway, until some kids started yelling at the top of his lungs for some damn reason.

"Dude I hear you, dial it down!" She said, rubbing her ear. "Jeez, do you think kids are hiding under ricks and you have to call them or something?"

[moms-temperment.livejournal.com]

Hana spun around at the sound of a voice and frowned at her comments. He shrugged and puts his arms behind his head, mumbling. "They could be for all I know."

But his grumpy attitude quickly dissolved away as he smiled. "But it doesn't matter, looks like I've found someone anyway."

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Mindy made a face. "Yeah, not really. There are plenty of kids and MORE than plenty of frickin teenagers on this ship. All you gotta do is look more than, say, an hour. Hell, I know a team where there are quite a few."

She looked a little bemused at this. "Ok, so you found me. Now what?"

[moms-temperment.livejournal.com]

He waved away her hostile words like irritating flies. "Yeh, yeh, whatever."

"Well, I'm just trying to see how many of us there are. And if any of them are interested in joining a... group? Club?" He paused, looking a little confused and then muttered to himself. "I wonder which it would be classed as?"

He shook his head dismissively, no point in sweating on details like that. "Well, whatever they want to call it."

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Well wasn't this guy sweet. The first kid he meets and he already is acting like her words weren't that important. Granted, she was a little irritated, but that's because he really shouldn't have had any trouble locating a kid in the first place.

"You want a number?" She asked, looking skeptical. "Why don't you ask around for a number. I'm sure there's some nerdy types that do that. If you want to meet them personally, why don't you just send a message to the comm asking for all the kids and teenagers to come to a specific place?"

Jeez. He was all over the place.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana chuckled and shook his head. "Nar, even if I knew all the numbers it'd be pretty useless to me. I mean, what am I going to do? Go around with a checklist? Seems pretty boring."

He listen to suggestion silently before answering. "Well, because askin' them that way would seem odd. Besides, how would they know it was me and not some weirdo trying to kidnap them or something?"

He shrugged. "I dunno, I just think if they're gonna make a decision, they should at least be able to meet me face-to-face first. Or hear it from a friend who has actually met me. People feel better that way."

Hana just continued to smile before putting forward his own question. "So, hey, what's your name?"

[hit-girl-mindy.livejournal.com]

Mindy raised an eyebrow. "Nobody said you had to go around with a checklist. I figure you just might want an idea of how many kids you were dealing with. Would be a little better than just screaming around for kids, you know?"

Why would that have to be exciting?

She stared at him long and hard. "No offense, but who in the heck are you able to kidnap? I mean, there are a few smaller kids here, but most of them have been here awhile. I'm sure they could take you."

She shrugged. "I guess. I'm Mindy Macready."

"Jesus, man, yell a little louder, I think some of the people in the pods are still sleeping," Howard says with a bit of a sneer, woken from where he was dozing over some foreign currency he was trying to determine the composition of.

[holy carp! GONE!]

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana chuckled, shrugging off the jibe cheerfully. "Well, maybe they should wake up. It's lazy to sleep while everyone else does the work."

Yep! We have an Albert, too, and are always enabling for MOAR CASTMATES

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"What work? Unless you consider tromping around shouting at the top of your lungs and scaring away all the peace and quiet 'work', I don't see you doing anything." If Howard wasn't already in a bad mood from waking up suddenly, or from doing something productive and tedious beforehand, he'd have gotten there just by Hana countering his sarcasm with cheerfulness.

Fffffffft don't do that I'm weak willed

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

"I meant everyone on the ship. They're all working in some way or another, right? Gathering together to beat these... things, whatever they are." Hana shoved his hands into his pockets, looking at Howard.

*enable enable enable there are SO MANY available chars!* ;)

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

"Yeah, you just keep on believing that. I've met plenty of people here who don't seem to care or be doing all that much towards beating them. What, you think we're united here?" Howard has very many opinions on the composition of the ship's crew, most of them negative. Quite a few of them boil down to theories about Stacy's sanity.

He rolls his eyes at Hana and pockets the coins he'd found.

Stop iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitt DDDDDDDD88888

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana made a noise with his tongue and scratched his neck, giving Howard an unimpressed look, not understanding why the kid was being so hostile. "You know, you don't have to act like an ass."

Hana's expression let up to give a small smile. "What you mad about anyway? Tell me, is it me? Did I bug you or something?" Obviously, it had not occurred to Hana that some people may have been sleeping near where he was shouting for all to hear.

There he was! Sandy had been looking for Hana for a few hours because she wanted to show him a giant ball that she'd found in the city. It was so big around she had to hold it with both arms.

The rubbery ball was a simple toy, but if anyone could help her appreciate it she assumed it would be her unflappably cheerful room mate.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana spotted Sandy coming and gave a cheerful wave, grinning brightly at her. "Cassandra~!" He called, chuckling.

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

Sandy came dashing over, a bit too fast because she tripped and fell onto the big rubber ball she was carrying. She bounced off it and took flight directly at Hana with a startled yelp!

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Reacting faster than thinking, Hana put his arms out and braced himself, catching the smaller girl. He blinked a few times, looking down at her, before breaking out into laughter. "Hey!"

[justoutrunyou.livejournal.com]

Sandy's cheeks turned pink and she laughed a little nervously, startled by how fast everything had happened, "H-hey there! Good catch." She praised him dropping the ball to bounce off the floor with a loud hollow noise. "What's up?"

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana shrugged, putting her down. "Not much, looking for the other kids so we can make our group thing." He looked at the ball curiously. "Where'd you get that?"

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

Cagalli turns around, staring at the extremely loud young man from a distance. She doesn't know if she should approach him or... what, since he seems to be kind of a weirdo.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

Hana senses someone looking at him and turns around, spotting Cagalli. He smiles and gives a friendly nod in her direction before resuming his venture, calling out to anyone and everyone.

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

She pauses for a moment, sighs, and starts walking over towards Hana with a wave. She can see what he's going on about, anyways.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

When he notices her approaching, he stops in his shouting to look at her and smile again. "Hey."

[allnaturalseed.livejournal.com]

"So, uh... what exactly are you doing?" she asks. While she may technically be a teenager, at eighteen years old, she sure doesn't feel like it.

[asakura-flower.livejournal.com]

"Looking for some people." He replied simply, shrugging. "You know, finding others like me."
