Rasmot's Tales: Something pink this way comes

As Rasmot made his daily walk through on the Kohart Tankata he drank from a mug in his hand. It was a nice day for some joralin orange juice and Rasmot enjoyed every sip of it. The is he was enjoying it until he tripped over a very large cable in the middle of the hallway that he was walking in. "THIS IS MADNESS!!!" said Rasmot as he landed face first onto the tritanium deck his mug tipped over and joralin orange juice spilling all over the cable. "No, this is a large conductor...oh...sorry captain" said Hrapret as he came out from a door way at a very grumpy Rasmot on the floor. Rasmot didn't move an inch afraid of what his anger might do if he got up. But that didn't stop a crew member from making a joke non the less. "Hey someone get the chalk!! Hrapret murdered Rasmot!!" the crew member said jokingly, and Rasmot got to his feet and chased the crew member with his empty cup.

Several moments after Rasmot got his cup fixed from beating someone over the head with it, he made his way to the bridge. Which turned unbeliveiably pink in the hallways and had several cheery blossom petals. Rasmot checked his goggles and smacked it once or twice and decided that it was a software glitch and went to his chair. Rhade had passed out on the upper level with a happy puddle of drool and sake at his side. Rasmot ignored this and jumped from the upper level and onto a large pile of plushies. "...Plushies??" Rasmot said as he took one up and examined it, which was in full color. So his goggles were working just fine, it was that his bridge was painted pink and Rhade was happily drunk again. Confused and somewhat baffled Rasmot got up from his chair with a smiling Kenshin plushie in his hands and went to the elevator.

After walking around through several levels of the ship with the Kensin plushie he eventually found Katie with a Plasma Flame thrower. "Where is the cause of this infestation!?!" said Katie as she ran towards he captain Flame Thrower in hand. Rasmot extended one foot up and Katie stoped and Rasmot cleared his throat. "Put the Flamer down" Rasmot said and Katie immediately hugged the device with all her life. "No!! its my pretty flamer!!" whined Katie as she back away a bit from her captain. Rasmot groaned at the things he had to do and threw the Kenshin plushie at Katie. Katie caught the plushie after dropping the Flame Thrower and Rasmot scooped up the Flame Thrower turning it off. Katie cried as she sank to the floor with the plushie in her arms and Rasmot rolled his eyes at the sight. "You big meanie!! It infested my room and made it all pink!!" cried Katie and this utterly baffled Rasmot.

Rasmot continued to walk down the halls, confused by all the occurring pink. The emotional outburst of the android avatar didn't help, even if he did have to sing her to sleep. Rasmot had his hands in his jacket pockets as Vekka came out of nowhere with a paper ball in her hands. The paper ball itself was an old Japanese toy that one fills with one's breath and tries to keep in the air. And what confused him the most was as to how Vekka got the thing. But Rasmot walked on as Vekka played with the paper ball until he heard a shrill cry. A member of the crew had done the unthinkable and took the ball away from Vekka and ran down the hall in Rasmot's direction. Big mistake as Rasmot took out his plasma lance and extended it to sword length and tripped the member with it. The member was shocked at first but got up and walked to Rasmot with the ball in his hands. Rasmot merely pointed to Vekka and the officer went to give back the ball with little tears in his eyes. "Now you two share that thing and...play...together, you hear me??" said Rasmot and they both gave a loud squeal of enjoyment and ran off.

"My crew is starting to act like children!" said Rasmot his hands at his sides and Hrapret came out of nowhere. "And for good reason too sir, seems the counselor declared that is was 'pink day' and suddenly the whole crew has been acting weird and several anomalies have started up" said Hrapret his goggles on his head and a sonic wrench in hand. Rasmot opened his mouth and quickly closed it as to now he knew what was going on and laughed. "And to think, I was going to get angry at this" said Rasmot and Hrapret gave a confused look at his captain. "Pink day Is the greatest festival on Earth, it has a mix of Japanese in it and celebrates the blooming of cherry blossom trees" Rasmot said and Hrapret nodded still not quite getting it. "Its also a magical holiday" Rasmot said and Hrapret let out an 'ah' of understanding.

Rasmot went down to the botanics forest after grabbing a bottle of sake. There he found several members of the crew dancing underneath falling pink petals as if they were several years younger. "Rasmot-sama!" said a feline voice and a demi-human came out from underneath the shade of a large tree. "Hey there Brit-chan, why don't you go find Katie and comfort her?" said Rasmot and Brit-chan happily skipped away as Rasmot made his way through the dancing people. He occasionally made a small jig as he went through the crowd, everyone excepting his small low powered dance. Rasmot laughed as everyone was overcome by the power of pink day. Soon he found himself in front of a large tree with a small figure underneath in a pink ninja gi meditating.

Rasmot sat down in front of the figure in the pink ninja gi and her eyes fluttered open. "Oh, captain, didn't know you were enjoying in the festivities" said the pink figure and Rasmot laughed aloud. "Well Kiseiki, its hard not to notice Pink Day even when you forget it" Rasmot said and Kiseiki laughed too as Rasmot poured a small cup of sake for her. "To the blooming of a new year, captain??" said Kiseiki as she raised her cup. "To the ever wandering child spirit, may it never die" Rasmot said and Kiseiki smiled as her cup met his and they both drank.

Rasmot and Kiseiki sat underneath that tree as they watched everyone play and dance. Rasmot played old tunes on his ocarina of an age long past him. Yet now that age was closer than the observer's eye, staring down at everyone with passion filled eyes. And this is what pleased Rasmot the most that day. Soon, even the now child like Android avatar joined in as she danced with everyone. And this put a smile on Rasmot's face as he played his ocarina, just watching all the crew dance and play and sing. It was almost a blessing to watch the events unfold around him. And soon they all fell asleep, even Kiseiki on top of her rock feel to the ever silence. And only Rasmot was left playing the notes from his past and enjoying the last dregs of Pink Day.
