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.]

Katara looked a little skeptical. "A big cane made of candy? That I'd have to see." Not that she thought Matt was lying, far from it. She just thought it was one of those things she needed to see to believe. "But I doubt Will would maim you more than the cane, unless you really made her angry. She'd probably want to make sure you weren't hurt too much."

Katara's eyes widened at the mention of Macrohard. "Oh, we totally had to fight them off too, only they were insurgents and stuff, and Sheeana and Tess and I had to make it look like we were performing a miracle."

She made a face at the mention of the car though. "As long as Will is okay with you driving those things."

"It was more like a blade but yeah, wasn't fun." chuckled Matt, rubbing his forehead. "And yeah you're probably right. She'd be more worried I was hurt in that fight."

"Ooh, I'm glad you guys got off safely though," said Matt with a solemn nod. "Those Macrohard guys had people in pretty hard."

At the last Matt rubbed his head. "Would you believe I rammed a bunch, ejected and it exploded into a million pieces? That's where most of my injuries came from..."

"Grief, a blade?!" These Macro guys weren't any joke! Not that she doubted it after talking with all of the other people who just came back, after all. She was sure that they all had some pretty gruesome stories.

"They wouldn't have that much of a chance with all of our powers combined," Katara stated. "I'm sure by ourselves they would have been harder though. The real problem was acting like we didn't have powers though. Too many civilians around."

Katara blanched at the description. "You did what?! Of course Will is going to be worried about you if you did crazy things like that! I mean, I understand you can heal yourself, but you have to be careful! What if a bone doesn't mend the same way again?" She playfully punched Matt in the arm."

"Take better care of yourself, okay?"

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"A blade," nodded Matt, spreading his arms. "A big honking huge blade."

Matt blushed at Katara's concern for his well being. "All right, I promise I won't do anything so insane again," he chuckled. "And trust me, I know ALL about acting like there's no powers to behold here."

"I believe you," Katara said. "But at least they weren't guns though. Those bullets can really mess you up badly. A blade you can at least try to break down, you know? And I'm sure Aeneas was a help there."

He didn't look so great, but figured that Matt and he had shared something in that fight, and it wouldn't have been right for her to go and heal him when Matt already was anyway. She reached over and patted Aeneas softly though: she was glad he was being taken care of.

"Good," she said. "It'll be better if I'm worrying about you than Will anyway. At least you can just yell at me if I'm being protective, but Will really cares about you. So just watch your step if something gets too big."

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"No bullets but lasers," shrugged Matt. "At least I didn't get hit by any of those."

He nodded, grinning slightly. "Oh, got something for you. It's not much but..."

Reaching into the pouch, he pulled out a small gift, wrapped in a single bow. From the shape of it, it was a small vial of water, corked with a crystal stopper. "I drew it from the most purest water before the fighting began. Figured that it might help sometime. I don't know if it's magically charged or not, but something about it seemed to scream to me. The bottle itself is made of ice."

"Geez, lasers?" Katara yelped, then cleared her voice. No point in getting mad about it anyway. It was those stupid agent at Macrowhatever that had attacked Matt in the first place. She was glad she did her part in making sure that it would be harder to get people under their control.

Katara covered her face from the sudden rise in intense heat. "Matt, come on, you didn't have to..." But there was still a part of Katara that was still a kid, and she opened the package eagerly.

Katara took the vial and examined it carefully. "It looks almost like the water from the Spirit Oasis," she murmured. "I don't know much about magic, that was more Aang's thing, but since I can heal with water to begin with, this will definitely help. Matt, thank you so much, I have to get a gift for you soon, just you wait! Thank you so much for this, its beautiful!"

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Aww it wasn't much, but I figured simple useful gifts would be the best thing to give right now."

"And thanks, for being a friend. To me, that's all I need right now." said Matt with a wide grin.

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Katara smiled. "I didn't even need anything, but I'm really glad you got it anyway. I'm beginning to really be jealous of Will now. Speaking of which, what did you get her? I have to know!"

At that, Katara flashed him a grin. "That much I can give. To tell you the truth, that's the best gift I've had by far: lots of great friends."

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt grinned as he reached into his pocket and pulled out an amulet. "This. I've yet to wrap it but it's symbolic. Green, Red, White, Blue, Pink stones in a star format with a pearl in the middle. It symbolizes the Guardians and myself."

He smiled as he presented the gemstoned amulet to Katara. "I saw it and thought to myself it needed to be done."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's very pretty," Katara commented, "But I think its the significance that will really win Will over! I mean, I think reminders of our world, no matter how much we miss them, are important. That, and I think this will also signify your devotion to her. You, sir, are the best boyfriend ever!"

Wow, he was really attentive to Will. It made her happy that he had pod popped. It was the best thing possible for Will, and for him.

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt grinned as he rubbed his head bashfully. "Yeah, I'm hoping that the significance will mean a lot to her. And thanks Katara, this only makes me want to find your boyfriend sooner. You have my promise."

Aeneas trilled lightly, hardly aware of the conversation going on around him; then he went back to sleep.

"I know it will," Katara said, smiling. "I know there are a lot of girls who want expensive things, trinkets to show off, that sort of thing. But girls like Will and I, we want something meaningful, something that really brings out what two people mean to each other. And you guys are just so..."

Here, without knowing it, Katara teared up, and she wiped her eyes. "It makes me remember that love finds a way, always. You don't know how much that means when you're looking for that person you care for. Thank you, so much!"

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Matt smiled, and offered a red handkerchief from his uniform to Katara. "It really does. It's the thing that I love the most about her. And I swear to you we'll find him. Trust me."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Katara gladly took the handkerchief and dabbed her face. "I know it is. Will is definitely a one of a kind girl. You guys are lucky. I just hope he...he isn't hurt too much, that they didn't take the things that made him who he is away. Because if that happened..." And here, Katara's mood darkened. "I will never let them get away with it."

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"I understand. I wouldn't forgive anyone if they took away what made Will, Will." His hand clenched and he let out a shuddering sigh. "Let's give this creature hell and bring back our friends and loved ones."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-05 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Katara nodded. "I don't like to get this way often, and I know its not a good thing to do it, but they've already messed with his memory and done things to him, Will. If they've changed him from the boy I know and love, I won't forgive them."

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
Matt nodded, a slight scowl in his expression. "When time is in trouble / all you can do is pray / thunder roars lightning flashes / and all you do today / Is believe..."

He smiled said, "It's a new original piece I'm working on as well, to lighten the mood."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Katara paused, and her angry expression evaporated immediately. "It's really nice, Matt. You really are talented!"

Katara grinned. "Will is so blessed to have you Matt. I almost wished I played an instrument.

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
"I could teach you," said Matt, sporting a little grin. "With the sensoriums I've got an infinite amount of musical instruments. When we have some down time, I could teach you what I know. I usually play the guitar but I know several other instruments."

[identity profile] kaya-waterwave.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Katara shook her head. "Oh, no way. With all of the things I'm doing, it would probably burn me through! But thank you for offering. I think I'll just be content to be one of your fans, okay?"

Because truthfully, she loved just sitting and hearing the music.

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Matt grinned. "All right, and sometimes yeah it's a good thing to just sit back and relax and listen."

Raising his voice he started to sing.

Snow has fallen, leaves under the white
Scattered all around, no end in sight
Christmas was upon us, New Years has past
come on then, lets have a blast...

He grinned and started to sing louder.

And its the holidays all the time for cheer
come and save us, this yuletide year
here and rejoice, our love and our friends
yes it's the holidays and there's no time for it to end

Come on and take us all one by one
Our spirits to heaven, and love all abounds
those people we find and those who we seek
lets give it our all and what do we need?

And it's the holdays our world naught of fear
our world yuletide week so wrought with need
and our lives will shine, our hearts will go on
it's the holidays and there is all the time for the world to hear

that it's the christmas time
all year

Katara closed her eyes here and relaxed to the floor, letting the music and the words wash over her. The words were pretty, and they were certainly moving. They made her think of being back in Baghdad, in the Philippines, even in the UK. The religion was different, but the love, the sharing, all of that was the same. And so the performance moved her, and after he was done she gave her a beaming smile.

"That was wonderful, Matt. I'm sure she'll like it."

[identity profile] lackofdarkwings.livejournal.com 2010-01-06 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Matt flushed and bowed, his smile reaching his eyes. "I've been writing a lot of songs in my mind lately. The season is good for it. And it's one of those fun songs and I'm sure I can write more when the time allows."
