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.]

"Hey Mei Ling," he returned, grinning from ear to ear. "Oh---wow, you didn't have to go to this effort for me. It's magnificent," he declared, admiring her handiwork.

"I actually have something for you as well---here," he heaved a book-sized rectangular blue package out of the bag, offering it to her. "I hope you'll enjoy this."

Inside is a hand-stitched physical copy of a new book he'd found on this planet---a tale of the bonds of family as they search for meaning in their lives beyond the stars. He'd been assured by the shopkeeper that it was a classic on that Earth.

Inside the card, he will find an inspiring proverb meticulously written in traditional Chinese calligraphy (and of course a translation printed neatly underneath), along with a sincere message written just for him.

She ran a hand gently over the binding of the book. Her eyes literally sparkled. A book! A real book! She couldn't believe it. She couldn't contain her excitement. Billy has one big hug coming his way, "Thank you!"

As Mei Ling opened her gift, Billy peeked inside the card. Did she really go to all that effort for him? He was touched, to say the least. He couldn't believe she could so eloquently inspire him. He'd definitely hold that message close to his heart.

Wait. Did her eyes just sparkle? Correctly recognizing the facial expression from other friends he'd known in the past, he wasn't entirely surprised to find himself wrapped in a hug. He reciprocated enthusiastically. "I'm glad you're pleased with it. Hopefully you'll have some down time to read."
