SIM:USS Eagle/A Chat with Valentino/Daydan Taboo: Difference between revisions

: Always wanting to perform in front of audiences and having an extroverted personality meant that Michael Valentino was an ideal host for an interview show of this nature. His sociable demeanor and sense of humour would hopefully bring levity to the show. Both the host and his first guest made themselves comfortable on the couches. :

: Daydan relaxed watching the younger mans body language and listening out for any give away thoughts about his up and coming questions, feeling rather relaxed and on top of the situation Daydan spread his arms out across the back of the couch and pulled up his left leg and tucked it under his right leg so that he was almost sitting on top of it. :

: The Captain raises his hand off the back of the couch lazily to the camera and looks on with a beaming smile and gracefully nods. :

'''Valentino:''' Let’s start with the most important question, your favourite colour and why? ::Michael smiles and lets out a soft laugh::

: An odd question Daydan thought to himself, he looked around at the setting and smiled..  The island had a majestic atmosphere. The air was warm, the breeze was cool, the water glistened in the background. :

: Ever smiling, Michael asks his second question. He didn’t want the show to become too formal or rigid. :

: Daydan nodded, then slowly stood up. Michael  stood and took a few steps back to give Taboo some space. :

: Daydan stood up straight, his classic loose white pants and long sleeved shirt, unbuttoned floated around him, he moved to a little area of the beach where the sand was warm and white under his bare feet. Closing his eyes Daydan stretched reaching up as far as he could, then with his hands like paddles he he slowly drew his arms around him like waves, his feet and legs gently feeling the ground around him, the whole time his eyes were closed and his face showing the bare hint of a content smile, the form was one of many turns graceful and smooth, often a trained eye could see a carefully planned parry and break, lethal to an attackers limbs and bones, his hands and fingers like blades... The Kata started slowly and then increased it's speed, all the time graceful and majestic like a dance, in the middle of the Kata were some high kicks and at the very end Daydans hands floated against the air and then as he rotated around with a long leg sweep he stopped with his head bowed and his hands up, one towards and invisible assailants neck and the other low to protect the groin and torso...  Even when Daydan was still the air around him was thick with the dust of the sand whirling around him in different directions until it to settled on the floor at his feet. :

: Standing straight he spun on his right foot and executed an impressive head-height side kick with his left. His foot remained in mid air for a few moments, demonstrating the strength of his quadriceps. Without landing his foot, he then continued kicking in a 360 degree motion, kicking in every direction. He stopped and executed a double back flip acrobatically. There was an air of confidence to his demonstration. :

: After their demonstrations, they re-took their seats and Michael resumed his interview. :

'''Valentino:''' That’s a lot of students!

: Looking back into the camera, Michael speaks to the audience once more and changes the subject. :

: Fully into his stride, Michael was clearly enjoying himself. :

: They both reach for towards the table and grabbed their cold drinks to take a sip. It was a warm day on Eagle Island. :

: The conversation suddenly took a serious tone. Michael’s lightheartedness stopped for a moment as he asked a personal and heartfelt question. The captain leaned forward and spoke. :

: The captain showed little emotion as he spoke about the event. He seemed to remember it quite vividly. :

: Michael's experience with the Vulcans were clearly very much more different than his own.. As for his brother, it was not over yet. :

: Michael reaches for a PADD next to him. :

: The captain smiled and leaned back into his chair, almost expectant. Michael grinned as he read the first one. :

: He puts the PADD back and stands up with the Captain. :

: Daydan smiled as he sat back on the couch letting Michael take the lime light and the full angle of the camera. :
