[ The video comes on and it's mostly his bright yellow motorcycle helmet, the garish smiling face and GOOD LUCK printed over the visor. ]

--fuckin' hell.

[ He's off balance, but he catches himself and flips up the visor to give a toothy grin. ]

Lookin' to get my hands on some paint or dye or fabric. Bright colors.

[ He looks thoughtful for a moment. ]

Or music. Somethin' loud and fast. Gotta be somethin' worth looking at or listening to on this ship.

Name's Kobra Kid, by the way. Anyone heard of me? Kind of a big deal where I'm from.

If you're that big of a deal, you should be able to make your own music.

[She grins, because teasing him is probably going to be a good time.]

[goodluckkobra]

With what? Can't just drum on the walls without some strings, too.

[ And then he grins back. ]

Or you want me to serenade you?

[vengeance_driven]

[How many snake themed people are going to be on this boat?]

Sorry, it does not ring any bells.

No fabric dye. [Niko doesn't care all that much about being flashy. However.] What sort of bike do you got? [Priorities.]

Brands don't always match up. But is like a chopper? A street bike? Dirt bike? Or is that just a "I like to wear big bright thing on my head" fashion deal?

[goodluckkobra]

I got a bike back home, but it's all frankensteined together. Can't go into a fancy store where I'm from. Gotta ride it in the desert, though, so it's pretty stocky.

[ It would be pretty cool if he did have it here, though. ]

Ain't no shame in a good fashion statement, though. Or a bad one.

[imahologram]

Only through your friend.

[Leia's as well-appointed as ever, every hair in place in a braided crown, and she's dressed in the dark uniform of the Moira.]

The girl--she has me calling her Bee. Says she can't be "kid" because you are.

[video]

[goodluckkobra]

[ Well that gets his attention quickly and he smiles so wide that his face gets crinkly around his eyes. ]

Oh, yeah? You one of the people who's been lookin' out for my little motorbaby?

[dust_of_life]

[Fatima can't help it. The mention of bright colors is too much to pass up.

As is the wide, open opportunity for a joke that'll make this whole thing feel...Less Real.]

When you say "big deal," are we talking girls throwing panties during your power ballads or...thirteen bodies found in various states of undress in the basement of the suspect's home?

[VIDEO]

[goodluckkobra]

[ Oh. That gives Kobra pause. He actually kind of has to think about how he's going to answer that question. ]

Uhhh... kinda both, actually.

[ The Killjoys might as well be rockstars for how their names are known. They just make a different sort of music. He's definitely got his share of panties and his share of bodies, though. ]

But I ain't undressin' any bodies. That's fuckin' sick. Just defendin' myself and my friends.

[jedimindtrick]

I'm afraid all I can offer you are questions.

[ Not that this is really the time for them, but... ]

That word— [ Fuck. He means fuck. ] It's an expletive, I take it, but it appears to have multiple uses beyond that. Is it an... Earth word?

[ Earth. A much less useful description, but he's beginning to notice a pattern. A pattern that seems to have one outlier in Zam. ]

[goodluckkobra]

What?

[ Kobra: not the brightest crayon in the box, despite the bright wrapper. ]

Mean fuck? It's like...

[ And he really puts his all into this performance, moaning and licking his lips. ]

Fuck, I wanna fuckin' fuck you so bad.

[ryuuzaki]

I've never heard of you.

[It sounds too light and flat to be malicious, but he's not not teasing.]

What's the source of your fame?

[goodluckkobra]

Bein' a freedom fighter.

[ Sort of. Ask the other side and he's a highly dangerous wanted criminal, but he figures that just means that they're doing something right. ]

video;

[redshitlord]

Did they seriously take your music too?

Lame!

video;

[goodluckkobra]

Didn't show up with much, but some of my stuff was missing, too. Walked around barefoot the first couple of days 'cause my boots were gone. Doesn't seem like too many people here are gonna have my kind of tunes, either. Are you a robot?

[ It all comes out in one long, disjointed thought. ]

[kidjoy]

Got some markers I took. Can always pretty yourself up with that. Tried it on the uniforms but it doesn't show up well on black.

video;

[goodluckkobra]

Can always use some temporary ink.

[ He's not a real artist or anything, but he can draw some simple enough shit on both of them if she wants. ]

[video]

[mttbrandlegs]

You too~? Well well, I didn't know that I had been in the presence of another celebrity!

[They can be fameless together! Or something...since no one really knows Mettaton except for the monsters.]

If you find some good music, do let me know, gorgeous! The lack of entertainment here is deplorable!

[video]

[goodluckkobra]

Right? Need some fuckin' noise up in here. Everything's so gray and quiet.

[cardboard_boss]

I've got some tapes on my iDroid if you want to listen.

[Yeah eighties stuff like Billy Idol and Aha but that's ok, right?]

Nice helmet.

video;

[goodluckkobra]

Thanks!

[ His grin turns all bright and excited. Finally someone with taste. ]

What kind of stuff you got?

video

[gentlemenpreferblondes]

[Oh no, this is hilarious. It's pretty difficult to take a guy with a name like 'Kobra Kid' seriously. ]

A big deal? What, were you some kind of celebrity?

As for music, I got some records but you could always come to listen me sing at the bar. Live music is always much better.

video

[goodluckkobra]

Ain't got celebrities where I'm from, but people know my name.

[ IE he's an incredibly wanted criminal. ]

Could definitely get behind some live music, though. When're you playin' next?

[sheriffing]

... Something tells me that's not your real name.

[Not with 'kind of a big deal' following it.]

[goodluckkobra]

Realest name I got.

[ There'd been a name Before, but he's forced himself to forget it. He's been Kobra Kid for most of his life now. ]

[devilofohara]

[ The 'Kind of a big deal' bit sticks our to Robin. She's heard that sort of talk before - usually coming out of the mouth of a pirate or an outlaw.]

What's makes you such a big deal? Do you have a bounty on your head or something?

[goodluckkobra]

You'd know the answer if you knew who I was.

[ Which is the brattiest possible yes she's going to get. ]
