Sooo...Meet-y

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their number. After the recent revelation, many of them were even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Brainiac 5 and Sensor were set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

"Yeah. I'm just worried our dynamic'll change. She's the superpowered fairy girl. I'm the normal boyfriend. I'm not even supposed to know... heck, I don't think she knows I know." Matt smiled sadly. "At least maybe now I can come clean."

He chuckled, holding up his hand which crackled with lightning now. "Quintessence changes due to mood. Lightning, the essence of life. Quintessence, the essence of life. Pink magic or lightning magic. Wheeeee."

And he tossed a ball of energy between both hands before chuckling. "Dunno why it's acting up around you though."

While Chris should have been paying attention more carefully, a slip of the Obs Deck forced him to crash on the floor. His Advent Deck forced out of his grip, he just rubbed his forhead in pain. "Smooth. Really smooth, Chris."

Another nod. "Very well. Luis." She glances around for a moment, as if unsure what to talk about. Well. "Are you Spanish?" It was weak, but she's not used to talking to people she doesn't know. The whole 'superhero' thing doesn't lend itself to hanging out at bars.

Once he reached her, he set his rifle case down on the floor beside him. "Major."

Saito had always been the talkative one.

Jean turned her head to address whoever had just talked to her and quickly found that she had to raise her gaze. She blinked, not even sure what sort of creature or the sex of the creature addressing her. It looked like some sort of beaked furry... Actually she had no idea what it looked like.

She offered it a small smile. "It's not all that odd, considering," Jean finally said once she found her voice. "I'm a mutant, a type of human." She paused for a moment, studying the creature. "Might I ask what you are?"

[standaloneshell.livejournal.com]

"Saito," the Major replied evenly, as if they did this every day of the week. Without comment she pulled the jack from her neck and offered it to him. Words took too long— it would be easier just to stream everything that'd happened and let him go over the memories in his own time.

[its-keeper.livejournal.com]

Yeah, ex-lax.

Will makes a cursory attempt to wipe the tears out of her eyes before Matt sees they're there. "It's . . . that's what they say. The Daligig. That the Ohm destroyed our worlds, and the Daligig rescued us, and now we're at war with the Ohm. We just found out, after -"

Does she want to talk about the zombie wars right now? No, not really.

"What's the last thing you remember?"

[olafsdotter.livejournal.com]

"There does seem to be a great many people here, and many do seem to know each other."

She had to agree on that aspect. As for questions, "Well I have only just arrived, I am not even sure what I could have questions on." Bit she seemed in good spirits.

"Nice to meet you, Captain! I'm Wyn." the blonde woman says cheerfully, taking the offered hand. For someone who looks rather tiny and delicate, she sure has quite a few scars and calluses on her hand. "D'you have any specific questions about Stacy, or is it just the generic 'oh Christ what the hell's going on here'?"

Well, at least she's to-the-point.

Gaius was so busy mulling over the disturbing implications of what that woman had said to him about 'broadcasting' some signal or other, that he wasn't really watching where he was going through the crowd. As Arha turned away from Alia, Baltar plowed straight into her.

"Oh, so sorry," he mumbled, reaching out to steady himself, and keep her from being knocked over. He froze a bit, when she turned her eyes onto him. They were strikingly unlike anything he'd ever seen. Picard's words about multiple dimensions and alien races came back to him. "I didn't mean to ..." he added, trailing off. Hopefully, she wouldn't have the same temper as that woman he'd just left.

"I've been tryin' to think of it as a sightseein' trip," says a girl with a very US-southern accent, wearing a—

Well, to someone with Spike's experience it would probably seem like a spacesuit, but certainly a strange one. Form-fitting, slightly iridescent blue-green material, fitted with paneled sections here and there with compartments on top, and a slim-fitted 'backpack' in segments down her back. The faceplate's open—split in two, in fact, retracted to either side, revealing where the helmet is fitted tight to around her face.

And there's a transparent membrane covering that face, too, possible to miss at first glance, but it gives her only exposed skin a certain plasticine quality. It even stretches harmlessly over her eyes and nose and mouth.

"Uh, does being stuck in a book for several months, getting rescued and going on a tour with Karmilla count?" said Matt, trying to absorb the whole thing. No Oracle meant he could tell her finally.

But would she feel the same?

[anoldtrickster.livejournal.com]

"Are you all right, miss?"

This old man has such an air of harmless congeniality that it would seem almost preposterous to suspect him of wanting to do anything but be genuinely helpful.

[its-keeper.livejournal.com]

Blink.

"Stuck in a book?"

The Karmilla thing is awesome, but they'll have to get to it later.

Having talked to several people, and feeling slightly more comfortable with things, Mal began moving around the crowd again, taking in the appearances of everyone there, and also partly keeping an eye out for the telepaths that Jo had pointed out.

As he got nearer to the fringes of the gathering, he thought he spotted one of them. Not giving himself a second to think how best to respond (after all, they were still people, telepaths or not), Mal walked up, held out a hand, and introduced himself. "I'm Captain Mal Reynolds. I heard from someone that you're a telepath..." Probably not the best introduction line ever, but he couldn't think of a better way to say it.

[lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com]

"Yeah uh, the Book of Ludmoore? Y'know, after you told me..."

"... what was the last thing you remember?" asked Matt with a bit of a sinking feeling. Oh please god not during Phobos round one...

[ladyofthesands.livejournal.com]

"Such is a good thing. When I arrived I knew no one, though two I met were from my world, though we were separated in the timeline by more than one ought to be. It was a bit confusing to meet one's descendant from five thousand years in the future. Such things can be shocking. I am sure you shall have questions later. If they have no been answered or you wish I guide, I shall be happy to answer and show you around if you need it."

[notlewis]

"Sí, soy español," he replied, and looked pleased. "Born and raised in Spain. So you must be from some version of the same Earth as mine, then."

He would have countered with a question about where she might be from, but he had absolutely no idea.

[starlightace]

"That'd be nice," she said with a nod. "The quicker we stop them, the better."

[thunder-ace.livejournal.com]

The numb feeling quickly changed to a horrible twisting in her chest. That... that can't.... what about Vivio? Erio and Caro? Could they believe Stacy when she said they're all safe, or...?

Fate's also clinging just a little harder too, taking in shaky breaths in an attempt to keep calm. She has to stay strong. She just has to.

"Two thousand nine. Why? What year do you think it is?" He narrowed his eyes. "Shouldn't you know this? If you're supposedly Batman?"

[imperious_lex]

"Justice League?" That sounded interesting. Though, really who thinks of those names? He couldn't help but poke a bit of fun at the silliness of it. "So superheroing is a professional sport where you're from?"

[doctor-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

A little taken a back by Mal's directness, Jean stared at him for a moment. Well that was certainly something new. Most people tended to sort of skirt around the issue. Or try overly hard not to think around her.

Finally, a smile appeared on her lips and she reached out and shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you Captain Reynolds, I'm Doctor Jean Grey. And uh... Why yes, I am a telepath, that sure got around fast..."

Wordlessly, he accepted the cable and clicked the plug into his own cyberbrain inputs on the back of his neck. The connection went live, and his cyberbrain immediately started complaining about a date mismatch with the Major's.

: "Lost some time?" : He repeated her statement to him in the pod caverns as a question.

[imperious_lex]

Even if he was stranded, Lex was stranded in style. He returned the look with a grin and a slight nod.
