<sub>[ Ending up on a space craft without as much explanation as Karamatsu would have liked (you'll find out quickly he's a wordy one) has undoubtedly sent this (1) NEET into a low-key, anxious fit. His personality and character type isn't fit for a place like this— he has had a hard enough time making a life of his own on Earth, how the hell is he supposed to survive here?
It's a fear that after awhile, he's trying to keep hidden. Nobody can know about it.

It's finally time for him to make his debut to everyone.

He's posed, looking as if he's been practicing (he has) for this moment. He's wearing sunglasses in his quarters, leaning most of his weight on his elbow against the wall and his other hand is on his hip. His communicator is feeding from a distance off, as if it is set on something.
The lighting is dramatic— the composition was impeccable. It was almost as if he was recording himself for a movie picture.

Then, without warning, he begins shitprosing: ]</sub>

Heh.
So divine Fate has brought us all together, hasn't it? It is no problem, as we cannot change the course it has predestined for us. It is for the better that we make the best of it— to love one another with the highest purity— to work together and be cooperative.
I know we can do it. I believe in you.
_{[ He takes a moment to pull out a comb and slick part of his hair back. ]}

My name is Matsuno Karamatsu. I am the second eldest in a litter of sextuplets. I am looking for my beloved, long-lost and long-separated brothers: Osomatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu and Todomatsu, as Mommy would be worried sick to find us all missing but also not all together, either. They should not be hard to fine, ah, as they are all blessed with my handsome face. If you should see one of them, please let them know their dear brother is looking for them.

As for my skills to assist the the best of my ability, I have provided a list for you. I do hope I can do whatever I can for you all as I care for your well-being and our operations at hand! Hmph— I hope you are dazzled and impressed.

_{[ as you can see, he's .... really..... struggling to find what he's good at and how he can help since he's a loser, but maybe if he puts a bunch of stuff down, people will think he is awesome. ]}

[ It's a little like talking to Caboose, except while Wash doesn't know how they got onto the subject of fiery hearts, he can at least follow the conversation and isn't left wondering what the hell is going on.

That's a huge step up. ]

Serenading the stars, huh? What were you singing?

[glitterpants]

_{[ Oh.. you've put him on the spot. ]}

W.. what was I singing?
_{[ instantly repeating and almost mimicking Wash's voice, but he sounds almost thrown off guard.
Good job, you threw off his groove. ]}

[sixth]

Yeah. During your serenade.

[ Did he miss something? He feels like he missed something. It wouldn't be the first time. ]

[glitterpants]

_{[ sweats a little.......
Karamatsu clears his throat. ]}

♫ Totoko-chan, where are you tonight?
You could be here, where the stars are really bright,
Are you with somebody else? Is it someone new?
You know that I would do anything for you— ♫

_{[ aw.. it's kind of sweet....
and his singing is decent. ]}

[sixth]

[ Wash's eyebrows rise in surprise. That really isn't bad at all. In fact, it's a lot better than he's expecting. Usually when people say they're good singers they're terrible, but he pretty good. ]

Wow. That's pretty good. [ He even sounds impressed. ] I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

[glitterpants]

_{[ no see you did the thing where you compliment him so now he won't stop .. NO.. HE KEEPS GOING AND IT .. gets really bad.. cover the children's ears: ]}

♫ Totoko-chan, your tits are so nice,
I wish I was cross-eyed, so I could see you twice,
Totoko-chan, you're sizzling hot,
You're absolutely everything that I'm not:
Quick to anger, spiteful, jealous, and mean,
But to me, you're the sweetest angel I've ever seen,

Totoko-chan, I've got NO PLAN,
But come closer and see that I'm your man,
You're the girl that I wanna plow,
Shh, no words, just dreams now.. ♫

[sixth]

[ All right, that's... not so nice. Jesus Christ, it's like Tucker all over again.

Tucker. Thank fuck Tucker isn't here. One's bad enough. Wash doesn't think he could handle two. ]

Did you, uh, write that yourself? [ Please God no. ] Or is that a popular song where you're from?

[ Stupid question. Unless he lived in a brothel? Maybe he lived in a brothel. ]

[glitterpants]

I did write it myself.
One day, it will be popular— _{[ when he is popular.. ]}
I am completely original. When you have five other identical brothers, you have to stand out, you see.

Don't you think that is important? Otherwise.. you are just forgotten.

[sixth]

[ It's the last bit that strikes a chord with him, so it's in a softer, more understanding voice that he replies. ]

No one should be forgotten.

[ He's thinking of Alpha and, as always, of Epsilon. But that's all entirely too complicated to get into with a stranger. There's an easier, less traumatic explanation he can offer. ]

I grew up with a lot of sisters. It was easy to get overlooked.

[glitterpants]

Ah. At least they could get your name right. I'm usually called by the names of my brothers if we are matching our clothes. It has been that way our entire lives.

_{[ He says this like it's an irritation but then: ]}

I would not have it any other way, though.
_{[ a pause, and then: ]}

Did any of your family make it here?

[sixth]

[ Is that a trick question? It sounds like a treat question. ]

My biological family, no. But there are people here I consider my family.

[ And that's as sentimental as he needs to get about that. ]

And trust me, I know all about being called the wrong name. My... [ How does he categorize Blue team? ] Uh, my associates have some problems remembering my name.

[glitterpants]

I've never had the pleasure of such an experience.. finding others that I consider family.. outside of my family.. because my family is plentiful enough. They are all I need— my brothers.

_{[ He's also never really been separated from them until now. He's not going to show that anxiousness he has concerning that, though. ]}

Heh. I won't forget you, Mister Wash.
I do not forget those who are kind to me.
_{[ because usually they're not. ]}

[sixth]

Well, I won't forget you either.

[ Because Wash has a very long memory and doesn't forget much. ]

I hope your family makes it here. Not—I mean, I'm not hoping they get caught up in a huge mess but... [ Ugh, not what he meant. ] You know what I mean.

[glitterpants]

The more I think of it.. it is odd to me that you consider people outside of your blood relatives your family. My family.. we all look the same. Having a brother that does not resemble me is a strange concept.

I understand, though. People who make you the happiest, that you are loyal to, that you would die for. They are family.

_{[ Then, a bit softly: ]}

Thank you for not forgetting me.
_{[ maybe it's just cause he's the only Matsuno brother here.. for now. ]}

They are.. busy with their own lives now. I hope they stay there and become happy.

[sixth]

I'm a soldier. I have been most of my life. You shed enough blood with the same guys you might as well be family.

[ And, well, he's right. Wash would die for his friends. ]

But you know, even though we're in space and a long way from the people we know doesn't mean we can't be happy too.

[ Somehow. Wash is a little unclear about how the whole happiness thing works. ]

[glitterpants]

_{[ That's a little strange. Even though Karamatsu's brothers mistreat him, he feels his happiest with them. ]}

Heh. If you say so.
I think my happiness journey here will be a very long one.
_{[ even though he seems rather cheerful on the camera. ]}

It's always been that way.

[sixth]

[ Wash isn't the foremost expert on happiness either. His life is pretty much misery and trauma 24/7. That tiny shred of optimism ate up his quota for the next... decade. ]

Yeah, I think I know the feeling. Guess we'll just have to make the best of it.

[glitterpants]

Ah, that's true. Though, it shouldn't be difficult if I have more company like you around.
_{[ woah there... easy on the aggressive friendshipping, Karamatsu.
It's true, though. Nobody is ever this pleasant to him. ]}

[sixth]

[ He huffs a little chuckle under his breath. ]

If you say so. [ Wash doesn't think he's all that great, but if someone else does.... Well, it'll be a novel experience. ] You ever need anything, Karamatsu, let me know, okay?

1.2

[glitterpants]

_{[ he's gonna fucking cry.......... nobody has ever really said that to him. ]}
Ah.. what was that? What do you mean?
You're saying... I can talk with you anytime.. I need something?

2.2

[glitterpants]

_{[ OH NOOOO... that's exactly what he meant..! ]}

A—ah, yes, of course— that is what you meant! I am.. highly adaptable in certain situations, but not having my family here.. has really made things confusing!

I will offer the same promise to you too!

[sixth]

[ Wash isn't judging. He doesn't have a limitless fount of support either. Or... well, at all. ]

Any time. Day or night. [ Maybe he'll regret that, but the Reds and Blues interrupt him at all hours to fix their stupid problems. Nothing can be as bad as them. Wash emphasizes that with a tiny smile. ] Promise.

And thank you for the same.
