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.]

Rein noticed Pikachu first and she squealed a little. "Oh how cute desu~!"

Floating down, she smiled at Pikachu and bowed. "I'm Rein and this is Kala. And you are?"

He couldn't help it. He stood up taller to introduce himself, setting one paw on his chest. "Pikachu," he replied cheerfully.

"A pleasure to meet you Pikachu," said Rein cheerfully, smiling at the small electric rodent who was just as tall as she was. "Have you been here long?"

Long was one way to put it. "Pi pika pika pipipi pikachu! Piii pikapi pika pikachu," he said, treating the tiny girl much like he would another Pokemon. That is, yattering off about what he'd been through at ninety miles an hour, hoping to explain something.

"I see," said Rein, somehow managing to understand the Pokemon with his incredible speed. "So you've been here for quite some time and you spend time with this woman, Samus was it?"

She smiled. "Don't worry, please continue. I've got a language module and while it's not completely accurate, I think I can understand everything."

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"You can understand me?" Pikachu asked incredulously, his eyes misting. Since he'd been here, no one had been able to understand him. The thought that someone could, despite his wanting it, was so unexpected that it even had the Pokemon tearing up.

"To a point, but yes," smiled Rein. "Universal translation is part of my abilities desu. It's why I'm such a good ambassador along with Hayate."

Pikachu's sniffles and sobs were happy, Rein, really. He couldn't hug her since she was floating in the air and so tiny, but it was still a big moment for him.

Letting out a "awwww!" Rein floated forward and hugged Pikachu's neck. "Aww there there Pikachu! I'll be here and I can understand you now! It'll be all fine, and you can tell your friend Samus that you have found another friend desu!"

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Tiny hug was also very much appreciated, and Pikachu returned the hug as best he was able. "Thank you!" he said. "I've never met anyone besides another Pokemon who can understand me!" Samus had always seemed to understand him, but he knew she couldn't actually understand Poke-speak.

Rein giggled. "I'm special, I'm a Unison Device. It means I have vast knowledge of languages and can translate things with magic desu! I'm not a Pokemon but I'm definitely willing to be your friend!"

"Wow! That's really neat," Pikachu replied. He thought for a while, wondering if he could suggest something they could do together. Finally...

"Do you like haiku?" he asked.

[identity profile] pocketloli.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Rein clapped her hands. "I love Haiku! Though I'm not too good at it. Do you know good Haiku Pikachu?"

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
"I like to come up with haiku," he said, "but I don't know how to write it very well. So I put it in on these!" Holding up his own omnicom, showing his last entry (http://community.livejournal.com/trans_channel/66757.html) to the network.

"I'd ask about learning how to do the special writing, but I don't exactly know the word for it, and people have a hard time understanding me."

Reading the Haiku over, Rein's expression blossomed into a wide smile. "These are amazing Pikachu! They're incredible!"

"Special writing... you mean English or Japanese desu? Cause I can show you how to write in both!" said Rein. "It's really quite simple."

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
"No, I can write that! I mean the special writing, like..." Pikachu found himself at a loss to explain, so he mimed holding a brush or something with both paws, writing on the floor.

"Oh calligraphy with a brush desu! I know of that!" exclaimed Rein. "Like when you brush the haiku on a scroll, is that it?"

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Yup! It looks neat, but I don't know if anyone here knows how to do it to teach me."

[identity profile] pocketloli.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know a bit on how to do it," said Rein. "I could show you how I do it! Is there a place we could get ink and a brush and paper at?"

[identity profile] friend-of-samus.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, there's this room that kinda just makes stuff appear! It's like magic, but you can't take it with you out of the room."

[identity profile] pocketloli.livejournal.com 2010-01-03 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"We could probably get practice there then, and then when we get shore leave we could always purchase some paper and a brush for later?" suggested Rein. "Sounds like a holographic room to me."

"Oh, okay! It sounds like fun!"
