Meet and Greet Part Deux: The Socialing

The new people will find themselves ushered out of Obs Deck, so it can be shot down to the planet again, to pick the crew up. Eventually, the crew members on the mission are brought back up, and the doors open to let the two groups meet.

The newbies are likely not expecting their new crew-mates to come back bearing presents--which some of them are.

[ooc: This time anyone can post in. REMEMBER TO TAG OTHER PEOPLE, THO. This is set after the mission so mission peoples can meet the newbies. Latecomer newbies, if you want, you can just tag your guys into this one to make things easier.]

The moment she saw him, she knew that was the look of a troubled person. Really, who walked around wearing an expression like that if they weren't troubled. Throwing him an easy wave in return she loped over, moving fluidly through the crowd until she stood next to him.

"Mission accomplished. How else would it have gone?" She grinned down at him as if to say 'I was there after all.' "I got you something."

"Huh? Really?" He smiled and shuffled his feet. "Thanks. Uh. What'd you get me?" And yes, he's a bit troubled. But it's only because his sister is doing weird stuff.

Women. Is he right?

"Yeah really." She turned away for a moment to dig around in the bag she had on her back. It was a little while but she came up with a rather large, soft, brown paper wrapped package. "I hope you like it. And I hope it fits." She laughed lightly. They could talk about that later. Now was present time after all.

And she would probably agree with him, to be honest.

Sokka turned the packed over in his hands for a moment before he tore into the paper, discarding it rather carelessly once he pulled the leather jacket (http://stylecrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/die_00c7vh00wlt81e_06099_nvy-3-horz.jpg) inside. He grinned, pulling it on over his plantsuit. Once his weapons were out of the way.

"Hey, it fits!" He waved his arms around as he tested his range of motion. "Thanks, Kelly." Oh yeah, he looks like a total badass with his shades and this jacket. Babe magnet city too, if he weren't taken by his totally awesome and monogamous long-term girlfriend who could kick his ass.

She grinned just as widely once he slid into it. So she'd gotten his size right after all. Giving herself a satisfied half nod, she rubbed the back of her neck unconsciously. "You're welcome. I'm glad you like it."

Really, she'd never done the whole gift giving thing before. But she was glad it was going well. She enjoyed it.

"It's great, really. Thanks a lot." Sokka smiled at Kelly, adjusting the jacket a bit.

"I don't have anything for you, though..." That was no good. He'd have to think of something to give Kelly. It wouldn't be right if he didn't return the favor!

"Really, it's no problem." She laughed, taking a step back to get a better look at him. "It looks good on you."

When he spoke again though, she just smiled and waved a hand airily. "Don't worry about it. I'm good, really." She hadn't expected to get anything at all really. She was just glad she could spread the joy she'd seen manifested down on that planet up here on the ship.

"Thanks." He adjusted the jacket, then slung his sword and shotgun on again. He looked vaguely like some post-apoctalyptic warrior now. Max Max status is go.

"At least some people are. I'm just confused right now. My sister is being super weird. But then again, she's my sister, so weird is kind of normal..."

She raised a gloved hand to push her hair back out of her eyes. He did look like someone out of one of those ancient movies, but it was cute. Sort of.

"Your sister?" A pause. "Weird how? I wouldn't say I'm an authority on all things female," she smirked, "but I might have an idea."

[identity profile] theregularguy.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"What? No! That's...um...something different. I mean...like, she wants to join this weird group called the Bene Gesserit and I'm not sure it's the best thing for her." Sokka shrugged, shoving his hands into the pockets of his new jacket.

[identity profile] unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bene Gesserit?" She raised a brow. There were factions like that on the ship? Hmm. "Well, what are these Bene Gesserits in the first place? Do you have any reason to think they might harm her or cause her to come to harm?" Because really, more people getting hurt, or more factions was the last thing they needed on the ship.

"They're like...this weird kind of order. They do martial arts and other stuff, but there's this stuff called Spice involved. And Katara says she doesn't have to take any if she doesn't want to, but I'm still worried. She's really upset that I don't like them or the idea of her joining them." He sighed.

"I just don't want her to get hurt."

[identity profile] unsc-rabbit.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
She nodded, listening. Sounded like the cults she'd read about a long time ago. Substance abuse? Hmm. And Katara was his sister? Well, things were starting to make more sense now. "Well you've got a right to be worried, she is your sister after all. But did you make your concerns known to her? I think family should support each other in whatever they each choose to do. Regardless of whether they approve." She smiled, nudging him in the back chummily.

"Besides, if anything does happen, I'm sure we can save her. And lay serious hurt on whoever's responsible for it in the process."

"I told her, but she just said I was being close minded." Sokka rolled his eyes, making it clear what he thought of that assessment.

"She just...when she thinks she's right nothing is gonna stop her. Not me or my dad or anyone. Maybe Aang." He smiled gave Kelly a pat on the back in return, refraining from a slap since he doesn't want to break his hand.

"Yeah. Not like the captain will let anything happen to her."

Well, it wasn't anything she hadn't heard of before though. "Just give her some time. I'm sure she'll settle down."

"I think you'll find that most women are that way. But that my friend," She grinned down at him, "is because we're usually right anyway."

"Definitely. And she's got friends watching over her too. She'll be fine."
