Gokaiger OT6, Gai Duty?

Z is for Gai Duty (i.e., keeping an eye on Gai so that he doesn’t get distracted and wander off when they’re hanging out with other Sentai)

Doc draws the short straw and says, "Ok, but if Ms. Ulshade offers to show him her dinosaur again I'm not going with them."

Marvelous' eyebrows shoot up. "Why not?"

"Because she means it, and that dinosaur is alarming." Doc shudders. "It has so many teeth."

"Doc, when a beautiful woman asks you if you want to see her dinosaur, the answer should always be, 'yes, ma'am.'"

"You want to see it so bad, you ask her."

Gai emerges from the crew quarters fixing one of his earrings and blinks. "Did I miss a crew meeting?"

Marvelous grins at him. "Doc was just talking about how interested he is in Ms. Ulshade's dinosaur."

Gai frowns. "If you’re going to use a title you should really call her Dr. Ulshade, she did finish her degree."

“Right, yeah, I think we sent her a card. Anyway, Doc would love to see her dinosaur, if you spot her at the Expo you should let her know.”

Doc glares at Marvelous, which gets a confused look from Gai, and so it’s fortunate that Ahim chooses that moment to link her arm with Luka’s and say, “So, shall we go?”

The annual Sentai Expo is, as always, busy. The team splits up almost as soon as they get there, mainly because Ahim is immediately flagged down by a group of Pinks and Whites and detaches herself from Luka's arm with a quiet apology and a quick distribution of cheek kisses. Then Luka spots the LupinRangers, Yellow Lion catches Joe’s eye and waves him over, and Marvelous splits off to talk to Shiba Kaoru, as usual, and so it takes a bit for Gai to realize that Don’s sticking to him like a burr.

“We passed Spada back there, I thought you’d want to go say hi.”

Don shrugs. “We’ll catch up later.”

“Didn’t you want to get his paella recipe the next time we saw the Kyuurangers, though?”

“I guess? It’d be good to have, I need more seafood recipes.”

“Then why not go talk to him? Not that I don’t love spending time with you, but it’s not as if you need to babysit me.”

Don makes a little frustrated noise and doesn’t meet Gai’s eyes.

It clicks. Gai’s jaw drops. “Are you actually babysitting me?”

Another frustrated, worried noise. “Not...exactly?”

“Is that what you guys were drawing straws for? I saw Joe putting them away, you can’t try to tell me you weren’t doing that.” Gai frowns. “Have I done something that makes you all think I need a, a minder or something?”

Don shoves his hands deep in his pockets. “Well...”

“No, look, I’m not, like, mad, but I would like to know. It’s really cute when you blush like that, by the way.”

There is a pink flush creeping up Don’s cheeks, and when Gai mentions it that just makes it worse. He’s still not looking up. “Listen. I mean. We worry about you.”

“That’s really sweet of you. Why, though?”

“Because you...” Don looks away completely. “You tend to wander off, and none of us want you to get lost.”

Gai blinks, and then stifles a snort of laughter. “What makes any of you think I’d wander off and get lost? I can’t remember doing anything like that.”

Don clears his throat. “Well, for one, there was the time you and Lupin X were trying to sneak onto that strange train that showed up with the Timerangers--"

"The Zero-Liner."

"Yes, that one. Where were you even going, by the way?”

“Yuuto was going to take us to a wrestling show.”

Finally Don looks up at him, one hand emerging from a pocket as if he wants to ask a question but then dropping so that he can instead begin to count on his fingers. “And then there was the time you and StarNinger had that selfie contest and somehow ended up in the Himalayas.”

Gai feels himself blush. “That was one time!”

“Sure, but you never managed to tell us how you guys got to the Himalayas.”

“I--don’t know.”

“That just, you realize that just proves my point, right?” Don counts out a third finger. “Then, there was the time you wandered off and we found you refereeing a...duel? Between the Magirangers and one of those American teams?"

"...that was a good time, actually."

“They almost lit the building on fire.”

“They would have lit the building on fire if I hadn’t been refereeing.”

“You got distracted when you were interviewing DekaMaster and didn’t pay attention to where you were walking and you almost got on a spaceship with him.”

“He would’ve brought me back.”

“Gai, please understand that we’d all rather he didn’t have to bring you back.”

Gai shifts awkwardly, taking in the anxious look on Don’s face as a few other, similar incidents come back to him. “I worry you guys that much?”

Don nods fervently. “Constantly.”

“How long have you all been assigning someone to keep an eye on me at gatherings?”

“This is the...” A pause as Don stares into space, clearly counting in his head. “...third time?”

“Well, I promise not to wander off on you this time.” Gai links his arm with Don’s and grins. “We can go back and say hi to Spada, if you like. And then after that I think I saw my cousin hanging around near the Lady Shiba, you mind if we track him down?”

“ShinkenGold?” Don eyes him nervously. “He’s not going to make me try experimental new rolls again, is he?”

“He might! I like taste-testing his stuff. Oh, right, and you wanted to find Dr. Ulshade and ask her about Plezuon, right?”

“Please no,“ Don says as they head back towards where they last saw Spada. “It’s really fine.”

I didn't feel very "visible" for #tdov yesterday. Our plan for the day was mostly furniture shopping, so I just threw on some junky clothes, didn't spend too much time on my hair, and didn't wear my pronoun pins. As a result, I was misgendered all day long by everyone we met, from getting called "Ma'am" by the clerk at the grocery store to being called by my legal name by the cashier reading my debit card at the Thai restaurant where we stopped for lunch. Usually I can handle a certain amount of misgendering, as long as I personally feel great about how I look. But because my whole look wasn't exactly on point yesterday, I couldn't even build up some confidence by taking some gender-affirming selfies. On a day that was supposed to be about feeling out and proud, this trans enby mostly just felt like garbage. A snapshot like this one (taken around Christmas 2017) is what I wish I'd looked like, or maybe how I wish I'd felt. Rather than feeling messy and low on confidence, I wish I'd spent my #tdov dressing to the nines and feeling great about myself. But maybe that's the real message of Transgender Day of Visibility, isn't it? We deserve to be gendered correctly and respected for who we are, even if we're wearing sloppy weekend clothes and looking decidedly unglamorous. Even if we're fat, even if we're disabled, even if we haven't gotten surgery or gone on hormones, even if we don't love ourselves -- we deserve to live outside the boxes of our assigned genders. We deserve to be free, without fear or shame, and especially without having to twist ourselves into knots in order to gain that freedom. I'm still a trans nonbinary gay boy-person, soft and dapper and masculine and feminine all at once, all the time, even when I look like a cis het woman. #transgenderdayofvisibility #tdov2018

"remember, you're the one who can fill the world with sunshine"

"so what do you do there?" "well I work at the espn club restaurant and sometimes the ample hills ice cream parlor" "yeah but what are you actually doing?" That's not really the easiest question to answer. Some days are fun and fly by, others I spend all of my hours staring at the clock - as if that were to make it move faster. Some days I work 6 hour shifts, others double that. I even still have a few training classes once in a while - disney is pretty serious about wanting you to know exactly what to do in every situation. My "home base" role and location is a Seater at the espn club restaurant on the boardwalk. My duties include greeting people at the door, taking them to their tables, answering the same question over and over again (where's the bathroom), and - if I'm really important that day - assigning the parties to the tables. It sounds like a simple job and fundamentally it truly is, but when people are spending all of the money that they do to come to vacation at disney world, they want and expect everything to be absolutely perfect. And perfect means no waiting at the door, a spot at a booth (which we physically do not have in the restaurant), and a view of the biggest tv we have playing their favorite sports team (bonus points if they're winning!!). Also, the food has to come out asap, server has to speak their language, etc etc etc. For the most part, the guests are great and we can accommodate for their wants and needs, but of course there are a few every day who keep our jobs interesting. Every once in a while you'll get adorable kid interactions that make the (disney) world go 'round. On Valentine's Day, a little boy came up to me and gave me a valentine. He blushed and ran away before I could even thank him, but I'll cherish the little card and "we love our cast members" written and signed inside for a very long time. The other day, a little girl (parents no where in sight) came up to me and asked for a kids menu. Instinctively, I handed her the menu with a "here you go, princess" and turned around to continue my job, only to be interrupted again by a tap on my leg and a "but excuse me ma'am, I don't know how to read." It's crazy to me that even at such a young age, kids are able to spot cast members on property and put so much trust in their ability to assist them with their wants and needs. Kids are the heart and soul of disney, but it's the love for the mouse from all ages that truly makes it what it is. Working at the ice cream shop, we are given a lot more freedom to "create happiness" and ~make magic~. My supervisor the other day randomly came up and asked me if I wanted to make a magical moment. Heck yeah, I did. I was able to make a milkshake from the shop (complete with whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry), and go out on the boardwalk to make someone's night. It was a tough decision on who's night I was going to better, because everyone in disney deserves moments like this. It's so easy to want to pick the cutest little girl in the sparkliest little princess dress, but I eventually picked out two parents with a teenage girl probably around 16 or 17. "Hey guys," I awkwardly approached them, "Mickey just visited our ice cream shop and made this extra milkshake!" At this point, their apprehensive faces cracked three smiles. "And he asked me to find the most special guests on the boardwalk to leave it with." Their eyes widened and at that point I realized it didn't matter if I gave it to the 4 year old princess or the 75 year old couple celebrating their 50th anniversary, everyone has the same reaction to moments like this. They happily accepted and as I walked away I overheard "of all of the people here, though, she chose us!!" And "wait Dad let me take a selfie with it before we eat it." So yeah, working at disney can be exhausting and take a lot out of you mentally, emotionally, and physically (my biceps from scooping ice cream all day tho), but it's not hard to look around and remind myself why it's all worth it. So what am I doing here? I'm being trained, hands on, every single day in exceptional guest service and how to deliver it to people from all around the world. I'm creating happiness and giving back to the company that growing up has given me so much.
