[SUDDEN LITTLE GIRL?! Man talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. It's like he's a magnet for trouble or something...

(ha ha ha)

Once his initial shock wears off (because seriously why is there a little girl on the ship) he does smile at her though. Oh Tager, if you only knew what's in store...]

Hello, little girl. Are you a member of this crew?

[It's certainly possible, he supposes. If this place could bring all sorts of people here, what's to say a little girl couldn't be brought here? And leaving her alone on the island would be a poor idea.]

[collagehero]

I'm not a little girl, I'm Hajime! Nice ta meetcha!

[Hajime holds her hand out (Well, up. It's a long way to stretch.) She couldn't get Ragrumpy to shake her hand back on the Santa boat, but his friend seems so much nicer!]

I'm the Ship's Decorator and Chief Morale Officer!

[Self-proclaimed, but no one's told her not to introduce herself like that. Not that she's ever done it within earshot of the captain or first mate. Mitsuhide might protest it a bit.]

[360grabit]

[Tager does indeed bring his hand out for her to shake, but thanks to the largeness of his hands she'd probably just be able to grab a hold of one or two of his fingers and shake them.]

It's nice to meet you as well, Hajime. My name is Tager. I must say, you've done an excellent job of decorating the ship. It's certainly homely.

[Of course, it's not like he's ever been on a ship like this one before. It's old, even by 21st century standards. As such, the only things he's seen even remotely close to this are his ships in a bottle.]

[collagehero]

Thanks! It's my third boat, so I've got lots of practice by now! I guess it's your first boat, huh? It's a good thing you waited until we got a bigger boat, because I'm not sure you would've fit on the old one!

[Hajime walks all the way around Tager, craning her neck and trying to get a better look at him.]

You must bump your head on lots of stuff!

[360grabit]

[Wow. This girl sure does have a lot of energy...]

Not necessarily, although I do have to crouch down a lot. You get used to it after a while, however.

[collagehero]

I'm never gonna get to.

[She spins around.]

I'm seventeen, so I'm gonna be down here forever! Well, unless I get a ladder.

[Maybe she should get a ladder.]

How're you gonna fit places below decks?

[360grabit]

[...]

That...is a very good question, actually. One I'm not sure I have an answer to. Is it particularly cramped down there?

[collagehero]

It really is, especially since that's were me and Ai keep all our stuff! The old boat was even more cramped and I don't think you would have fit on that one at all. Hmmmmm, maybe we could widen some stuff...I should probably talk to the guys at the docks and see if I can get in some carpentry lessons.

[She taps her finger on her chin, considering the Koumyou's layout and how best to house a ginormous robot guy.]

Will you rust if you stay on deck and it rains?

[360grabit]

It would be appreciated, thank you.

[He doesn't want to put anyone out, but at the same time he doesn't feel like having his systems fried. A dry place where he can do his repairs and maintenance would be preferable.]

Doubtful. My body was designed to be able to function in a wide variety of environments, including extremely wet ones, but a dry place to work would still be necessary.

[collagehero]

So can you swim or will you sink?

[Important questions. After all, if he's going to sink like a rock if he falls overboard, she can't build anything for him near a rail. And maybe they should reinforce some of the rails in case the ship tips to the side and he goes CRASH! through one of them.]

[360grabit]

I...would probably sink.

[Man why did it have to be a ship. Especially one with friggin' salt water of all things.]

[collagehero]

We're gonna have to Tager-proof that boat, then! You're a robot, right? So you should install a life raft or something so you don't sink into the ocean! It could go POP! like a parachute!

[So her knowledge of robots mostly comes from children's cartoons, but it sounds like a perfectly valid idea to her.]
