A. for Reaper

[Goku does not like being trapped. Goku likes being trapped in the dark even less. Sleeping in his room when suddenly the gravity turns off, it takes him about five minutes to wake up and then a few more very alarmed minutes to realise he's flying. After that shock wears off, alarm sets in. Okay, Goku, don't panic, you're just in your bedroom... It's dark, but he can still tell where everything is, even if some of it is floating in the air next to him... He just needs to be patient and wait for the lights to turn back on. Then everything will make more sense.

Patience lasts twenty minutes before it's definitely time to stage a break out. Kicking down the door doesn't work, that just sends him flying into the opposite wall. Pushing on anything just sends him flying and he's not tall enough to stand on the wall and push against the door at the same time... Ah, but he knows something that is.

To someone walking/floating creepily down the hall, Goku's metal door seems to be buckling outwards from one spot in the middle. It's slow, at first, a small, round dent in the center of the door slowly protrudes further out, then the whole door starts to bend around that point... Then in one quick movement the door snaps off and goes flying into the opposite wall, pinned there by a long, red staff.]

Yeah! [Still inside the room, Goku is hanging upside down from his staff still balanced between the two walls and grinning.] It worked! Way to go, Nyoi-bo!

B. Open

[The next day, Goku has just about gotten the hang of moving around in zero-gravity when the systems shut off without warning. It's kind of fun, actually. But the ship is a lot creepier in the dark. Goku had automatically gravitated towards the atrium, but with all the power off... Goku shivers. It doesn't even feel like night. Without the artificial outdoors-ness, the atrium just feels dead.

That's when he finds a small group of young Trilk, gathered by some of the trees. Apparently, they're just as uncomfortable as Goku under the circumstances. Though they're not much shorter than him (these Trilk must be very young), Goku sets to work cheering them up and playing big brother. He can't actually speak to them or understand them, but drawing different people in the dirt with a stick and telling stories seems to entertain them well enough.]

-and this is Kougaiji, 'cept his hair is red and he's a bit taller than me. He's usually pretty nice, I think, but sometimes he acts weird. One time we were fighting but then this giant crab showed up and- uh, wait a second, lemme draw a crab so you guys know...

[Maybe listening to the weird alien make strange noises with his mouth and wave a stick around is just distracting enough to make the poor kids feel better about their lives. They click to each other when Goku pauses to take a breath.]

[And floating creepily down the hall being his M.O., that's exactly what Reaper is doing by the time the first dents start appearing in the door that leads to Goku's personal quarters. He's been trying to remember which rooms are which, and in which ones his... ...associates are staying in. He's managed to escape his own little metal prison by using his SEP-granted strength and the metal claws on his gloves--but it left him wondering how certain people have fared in the same situation.

Were he still a Hero of Overwatch, much of his time might have been spent forcing every single door open upon confirming someone was trapped inside--but instead, he's trying to locate others. Sombra's room was empty already, and Vaas was still on his list. He hadn't quite remembered which room was Goku's, as he'd never asked, and he'd only seen the Monkey hanging around.

There are small red lights on his boots, and they're doing a good job of illuminating the hallway around his form just enough to make him visible; his own eyes capable of seeing things in the dark that others wouldn't be able to. So he gets a good goddamn show of Goku's door suddenly crumpling outwards and slamming into the wall opposite--a long staff being the culprit of the vandalism.

...And then came the voice. So he'd gotten the right door. And once again, he's underestimated the bright-eyed teen. He hadn't needed help at all.]

...How in the hell did you break the door open with a fucking stick.

[Hey, Goku.]

Aw, it's still dark...

[No, wait there's a red light here. The staff stays taunt between the two walls as Goku pulls himself along it, standing upside down as if he's in a handstand. He blinks several times as he looks at Reaper and adjusts to the light level.]

... Hey! Cool shoes! It's not a stick though, it's my staff!

[He looks at Goku, and then down at his shoes and back.]

They have their uses.

Which is a little easier to explain than having a s...taff that can stretch on its own accord. [He'd almost said stick again.]

...

[God, he feels stupid for even have come to check on him.]

The whole ship is dark. Shouldn't go wandering off on your own.

[The staff shrinks down from five meters to one in Goku's hand and he spins himself around right side up.]

It's just Nyoi-bo. [Hooks his arms around the staff and lets it rest over his shoulders behind his head.] What's going on? Why're we all flyin'? Where'd the lights go?

Because I know what 'Nyoi-bo' is. [At least he doesn't pronounce that too terribly. It could be worse.

A hand moves against the ceiling and he floats over to examine the damage on the now defeated door, turning his back on Goku as he speaks.]

Don't know what happened. Either we hit something, something hit us, or the ship's just having a major malfunction. Either way, it means the life support systems are on backup, the lights're out, and the fake gravity failed.

[A pause, turning his head to Goku. It's easier to see the glow of his eyes in the dark.]

...Gravity's what normally keeps you and me on the ground.

This is. [Goku helpfully taps his fingers where he's holding the staff.

But oh no, there's more important things going on than Reaper's inability to grasp simple concepts.] Wait! The ship broke?! What're we gonna do? Life support means the food stuff too, right? Are we gonna float away? Is the food okay?

[Reaper's eyes are creepy, along with the rest of him, but there are more important matters to worry about now! Besides, it's already been established that despite his appearance, Reaper is a friend.]

[That's so helpful. It's a stick, so far as Reaper can see. But that's not up for debate right now.

What's more important is that the monkey is losing his head over... the food possibly not being okay. A hand settles over the front of his mask

~~Be strong, Gabriel.~~]

It's not broken. Not fully. Just some of the support systems are down. I'd more worried about the air. Living things like you need to be able to breathe.

[He moves away from the door, waving a hand at him. Come on.]

There's enough air to breathe right now, but if the support systems aren't fixed soon, food will be the least of your worries.

[If it helps at all, it's not actually made of wood. It's polished iron and also magic. ]

Living things need to eat too! Food and air are both important!

[Perhaps air is a little more urgent, but food is also very important! ~~Be strong for your family, Gabriel.~~]

Ah, I'm hungry now...

[He'll likely bring it into furthur question later when there's more gravity and less a worry of the vacuum of space coming to kill him once and for all.]

You can live far longer on just air--

[...

Did you just complain about being hungry? Reaper shoots Goku a look, and actually reaches out to give the monkey a swAT.]

Your life could be in danger and you're thinking about your stomach!?

Ow!

[Goku flinches and goes flying backwards from the force, rubbing his head and glaring at Reaper as he floats away.]

What'd ya do that for? I'm really really hungry! I'll definitely die if I don't eat!

[...He watches Goku go flying backwards, and then looks down at his hand. While he didn't hit the guy THAT hard, he ... also forgot that in Zero-G? He definitely didn't calculate how far the monkey would go flying. Oops.]

Don't you have any food in your room? Just go grab a damn snack.

It'll all go bad in a few days without any power, anyway.

[Helpful.]

...

Because you're not suggesting we go check on the cafeterias next.

[ Chirrut knew that there were young of alien races in the Atrium, and he shared space with them well enough when he sat out of the way to pray or meditate. What he had not anticipated was a young man's voice- after a moment of thought, he recognizes it from when they'd spoken of getting swatted at- speaking of a variety of things. His approach is slow, measured as he assesses his surroundings.

Even if the young Trilk couldn't understand him, it's a kind effort. And, if he has a good enough sense of the room, one that is at least somewhat engaging. ]

Are you telling tales of your home world?

Crabs a normally pretty small and they taste really good but this one was way bigger and it didn't look tasty at all! I mean, I didn't get to try it, but I'm pretty sure.

[Goku looks up when he hears Chirrut approaching but turns back to his story until he's a bit closer. If he keeps making noise, it'll be easy for the blind guy to tell where they are.]

Anyway, Kougaiji and me decided to team up, even though we're enemies and stuff. I got my Nyoi-bo and hit it like wham! [Goku demonstrates on thin air with the stick in his hands, grinning when the Trilk jump back a little before creeping closer again.] And then Kougaiji set it on fire and we won!

[Yay, teamwork! Goku looks back at Chirrut now he's close enough to chat.] Hey! Yeah, I thought it'd be fun.

[You really don't have to try very hard to go flying in zero-gravity, Reaper. Pay attention. Goku keeps floating backwards, glaring and pouting at Reaper all the way. There's a flying monkey joke in here somewhere.]

I've got some stuff, but I'm getting sick of bananas. [Even he can only eat so many bananas.] Why can't we check the cafeteria? What if something's wrong?

[Look, he's learning new things with zero-g settings. Like how easy it is to smack monkeys around and how to never, ever go into wraith mode if he wants to ever be in one piece again.]

...I'm assuming there's 'something wrong' all over the goddamn ship. What with how the oxygen filters are off and the artificial gravity's stopped working.

[Ugh.]

If we go check the cafeteria, will you stop complaining??
