Time for the 'meat' and greet

[NOTE: This takes place DURING the holiday plot. If your character is involved in that, then they're still on the surface and not on the ship at this time.]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are 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.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies. The mission is still going on, so if your character is offship, they won't be around for this.]

"Eee?"

What the..? Wings. He knows wings, has a set (or four). Talons? Knows those two, for he's got a set of 'em. Still, "Talons" usually mean... Oh. Yes. Big critter, much bigger than this three-foot, six-pound thing. The Renne's five-inch ears flick forward as the elongated face upturns. Sniff.
A Gargoyle? Curious. And the first thing out of his mouth is an unusual question. He'd not run into Syrus in forever, but...

"Sai-rrrrruhs?"

'Syrus.' That's a name.

"No." Goliath looks into the creature's upturned face, eyes narrowing as he inspects the blank stare.

He lowers to his knees, flaring his nostrils wide to sniff back, to understand the creature's scent. "You know my race, but I cannot say I am familiar with yours. Do your kind take names?"

"Eeee."

Chirrup. Ears flicking forward, the oddity leans down a bit, intending to sniff at this...er...giant of a figure more intensely. Mind you, next to him, anything's perceived as "giant" or otherwise large. Gargoyle-smell, yep. As for his own scent? It's...odd. Out of place, out-of-time but some had in the past compared it to a blend of strong mint, vanilla and the waves of some far-off, alien ocean.

"Is Son-g Pee-puhll." Chirp. "In-guh-lish, ba-d."

His English skill is bad enough. Translating a name that technically can't really be translated makes it a tad worse.

A strange scent indeed. A child of Oberon? Or another person from a different planet entirely?

"I understand you." He does not give compliments lightly, but he keeps his tone gentle, nonthreatening. In this case, his body language cannot say it for him. "If you are looking for a friend, I am sorry to say I do not know anyone by that name."

Chirrup.

This one's...fascinating. Making a sound somewhere between a nearly tribble-like trill and a curiosity-filled coo, the oddity sniffs closer. His warm, peachfuzz-skinned nose brushes against the Gargoyle's foot. At about ankle level, the blue critter's tongue flickers out like a snake's. Similar in some ways to a snake, this tongue that forks in three places...

"Rrr-enne noh fin-d Sai-rrruhs in lon-g ti-me. Who yeu is? Yeu is..." Sniff. Lick. "Gahrrr-goy."

"My name is Goliath." He endures the touch without protest, equally curious about the little creature. "What is yours?"

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-01-13 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Eee?"

A flick of the big ears. Lifting his head up again, the oddity at least...tries to appear in a confident pose. Shoulders back a bit. Back straught. Ears up but semi-relaxed. Upon saying his own name, Goliath's isn't long to be sounded out. And mutilated accordingly.

"Is Rrrrr-enne. Guh-lie-iff. Guy-iff. Guy-iff!"

[personal profile] not_the_philistine 2010-01-13 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
It's a good thing Goliath isn't very attached to his name.

"Renne. I will remember it."

He considers the creature a moment longer as he thinks of what to ask it next.

"How would you describe your friend, if I were to meet him? I would like to be able to tell him where to find you, should he arrive."

"Eeee. Sai-rrruhs.."

Chirrup. The ears however, go fully down, reminiscent of sad-Stitch ears.

"Sai-rrruhs, noh hee-rrre noh mo-rrre, Mehl-Mehl say."

He hadn't thought of Meldrum in too long a while, longer than Syrus had been gone. A flash of sad/indigo races across his skin but the beastie shakes his head a bit. No logic in doing that, is there?

[personal profile] not_the_philistine 2010-01-16 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Not here. "I'm sorry."

[identity profile] bluebrassmonkey.livejournal.com 2010-01-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Emotion. When it pours off of someone else, it can often pour right over him like a deluge.
It shouldn't be surprising then, that his skin flares with a wild display of cyan-blues, lavender and the colour of grief come to terms.

"Eeee, noh be. Is long ti-me. Wha-t yeu is frrrom, Guy-iff?"

[personal profile] not_the_philistine 2010-01-16 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
The effect is curious. Goliath watches, intrigued, but is considering the question more actively.

"The year as I remember it was 1996. Or did you mean my world of origin?"

It is, he supposes, possible that Renne has met other gargoyles while still among the stars.

"Eeee....Wha-t be Yeeearrrr?"

That alone pretty much gives away that his perspective of Time is...vastly different.

"Eee. Yeu is frrrom Urrrff?"

[personal profile] not_the_philistine 2010-01-17 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
That would be his answer.

"Yes." He nods once, before remembering there is likely no need. "And you?"
