New Captain

Long after a certain incident, the members of the Buckethead faced great uncertainty trying to find out who should serve as the second-in-command of the ship.
Believing that it would be a death sentence, the position would be passed back and forth, which led to many arguments and many more run-ins.
Until one day...
Ara Classless Notail
No way. -_-
Isolation I-Class Notail
Come onnnnn, Ara! You're like, the most perfect guy for this. %D
Ara was the ship's cook. For someone who kept taking odd jobs in the past, he was inclined to take ones similar to the ones W-Classes have.
The others tried very hard not to let the social norms take over, but he still often receives strange comments.
Ara Classless Notail
Be serious. You really think I'm capable enough to actually lead?
Ara Classless Notail
You guys don't even respect me as a person. -_-
Isolation I-Class Notail
I, for one, believe in you a lot! And that's the truth!
Isolation I-Class Notail
Though, I'm pretty sure the others believe in you for different reasons...%D
Ara Classless Notail
Really.
Ara Classless Notail
Is it because Rion died? Do you want me dead?
Isolation I-Class Notail
I don't. %D
Ara Classless Notail
Okay, so the others do.
Ara Classless Notail
Really, I saved the ship from being totaled one time...That was nothing. It's just what we're supposed to do.
Ara Classless Notail
Sure, those volkronns could've killed us.
Isolation I-Class Notail
...But?
Ara Classless Notail
No, that's it. They could've just killed us.
Isolation I-Class Notail
They didn't, though!
Ara Classless Notail
I came here only to provide food, and scout for supplies.
Ara Classless Notail
Isn't that all? If I get a promotion now, it'll mess everything else up.
That being said, he was never the type to mess up his work. Ever since he was little, he had dreamt of being something more. Every notail has, but most end up fitting right in as cogs.
His father, being a Q-Class, made sure to drill that right into his head. It was for this reason that he was sent into the Woods like everyone else.
Ara was to be a cog no matter what. Even if he was born out of a natural union.
Ara Classless Notail
...Bah, it's already a mess isn't it.
Ara Classless Notail
Okay, fine.
Ara Classless Notail
Just let me know where I should get started and tell Yelo I'm interested.
Isolation I-Class Notail
FOR REAL?! 100%D
Ara Classless Notail
Yeah, yeah. Whatever. It probably won't be the last time I save your sorry asses. -_-
He could always not listen. These coworkers of his were already doomed after losing tons of research.
If he had to step up, so be it.
This was proof that he can always shape himself, and not let his past shape him. Although...
Ara Classless Notail
...Hey, Sagan.
Ara Classless Notail
Are you alright with me being the new second-in-command?
Sagan S-Class Notail
....Mm. Probably.
Ara Classless Notail
Don't worry. I'll try to live up to his name. -_-
...He's hoping he doesn't eat his words after this.
