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.]
onceadragon: (awkward much? yes.)

"That's completely mean, dude! I wouldn't try to get you in trouble!" OK so maybe she wouldn't try, but it was possible it would happen. She just wasn't going to admit it.

She nodded her head completely seriously. "Of course it makes sense! You should so say it to him sometime." Nope, not trying to get him into trouble at all.
bonnypiperlad: (talking)

"Och, ye may not try, lass. But the trouble would happen all the same. Some thought would pop into your head, like proving there's Cybermen by taking pictures, and the next thing ye know, we're pinned between a pair of them in the sewer." He's shaking his head slowly as he says this. "Or have ye already forgotten that fuzzy thing with all the teeth already?"

He considers her suggestion about actually saying the line to Picard, then comments, "I'm not sure that's a good idea. I wouldna want to get it wrong and offend the Captain."

Claudia laughs and shakes her head. "So I'm guessing that's actually happened to you?" She tries not to snort, but it's hard. "Heeeeeey! I accidently bumped into a cage! And! And the furball completely tried to eat my ankles!"

Her lips purse together for a moment. "How exactly would saying 'Live long and prosper' offend the Captain? It's not like you'd be saying 'Ohmagawd! You suck!' Seriously, dude, it's a cool thing to say."
bonnypiperlad: (solemn)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-07 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie is completely serious in his reply. "Don't laugh. Cybermen are verra dangerous." He sighs heavily. "But aye, it did. I think I mentioned Zoe to ye briefly before. It was partially her fault." And partially his for listening to her and Isobel when Isobel had come up with that particular hair-brained idea.

He shrugs. "I still don't know, Claudia. Would I have to do that 'v' thing with my hand?" If this keeps up, walking into a wall is going to be the least of Jamie's worries.
onceadragon: (I am cute!)

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-07 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Claudia somehow manages to pull a straight face, and look somewhat serious. "Sorry..." She flashes him a smile, and nudges him. "Well I don't think there are any Cybermen here. But we can always look around to make sure!" She's just trying to make him feel secure and all.

"Can you even do the v thingie with your hand?" Claudia asked, completely skirting around his question for the moment. His answer would obviously affect how she'd respond to him.
bonnypiperlad: (hmm)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-07 08:44 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly Claudia is humoring him on the Cybermen, which is fine by Jamie. He hasn't seen any, and while there's always the possibility they're here, he figures he can deal with the odd one if it does show up. "Ye don't have to worry." he says, nudging her right back. Hey, she started it. "I don't think they're here, either. But I'll protect ye if need be."

He'll let that subject drop then, as honestly, he's wondering more if he can make the v sign with his hand. It seems simple, though. "I don't see why not," he muses, and holds up his hand, palm towards his face. His fingers don't want to cooperate to start. While he can splay out his index and pinky fingers easily, it's a lot harder to get them to split in the middle. He frowns slightly and tries again.

"Oh really?" Claudia asked before clasping her hands together up above her chest. "Xou'll be a big strong man and won't let those big bad cybermen get me? My hero," she cooed out in a mock southern accent as she batted her eyes at him. Of course she's only playing around.

She giggles and reaches out and takes the hands he's trying to make the v sign with and pulls his pinky and ring finger away from the tothers. "It's a talent, which you obviously need to work on!"
bonnypiperlad: (hrmph2)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I would've been able to get it," Jamie complains, his expression momentarily resembling the cranky one Claudia saw when she first sat down.

Inwardly, he doesn't mind quite as much as it seems. He's just trying very hard not to let that show on his face.

"Oh, ye think I need to work on this particular talent, do ye?" This time he is remarkably quick at making that 'v'. A little too quick, actually.

"There," he says, smugly. "What do ye think of that?"
onceadragon: (really?)

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-08 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
"uh huh," she muttered and rolled her eyes. Dudes! Seriously could never take getting helped out by chicks.

She was about to say something but then Jaime was suddenly doing the v symbol....thingie with his fingers. Her eyes narrowed slightly and she was suddenly tempted to punch him right in the arm. "I think you could do that the whole time!" She eyed him. "Could you?!"
bonnypiperlad: (youmustbejoking)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-08 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie's gotten a little better about being helped by a girl, but he still has his rather more exasperating moments.

One of them is now, as he waggles his fingers and then easily makes the symbol again. "Aye, of course I could. What kind of a piper would I be if I didna have flexible fingers?"

He's rather blissfully unaware that he's about to be punched.
onceadragon: (ugh wtf)

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-08 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
She frowned and did just that, punched him in the arm, though lightly of course - she didn't want to hurt him. "Dude! Why would you make me think you couldn't do it? Not cool."
bonnypiperlad: (facepalm)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-08 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
"H-hey!" Jamie has a hurt-puppy sort of expression on his face as he gets punched. It takes him a moment to realize that it may not have been the best idea to actually give in to the impulse to prove he was perfectly capable of making some silly hand sign.

And he can't very well admit that the reason he fudged it in the first place was to see if Claudia would be amused by his original attempt so he could get her to laugh again. She's got a nice laugh.

He winds up ducking his head, instead. "I...don't know."
onceadragon: (told ya so! (smug))

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-08 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, dnext time at least pretend a while longer that you can't do something," Claudia suggested, before smirking a little at him. "You're not too good at bein' sneaky, are you?"

See? She's not even mad anymore.
bonnypiperlad: (smile)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-11 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie just gives Claudia a look. "Ye would be verra surprised." He is perfectly good at being sneaky, when he's not feeling the need to prove himself in front of a girl.

He's glad, though, that she's not mad, and he grins at her. "But I'll keep it in mind. Maybe ye can give me sneaky lessons or something."
onceadragon: (really?)

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-11 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
She eyed him suspiciously. "Do you even need sneaky lessons?" No, she's so not going to fall for helping him out if he doesn't need it... Again.
bonnypiperlad: (tardis2)

"You just said that I wasna very sneaky," Jamie points out, reasonably. "But I can understand if ye do not believe me after the last time, so..."

He shrugs as if to say it's no big deal.

"Ye can always show me stuff with lasers instead." Really, he'll take any excuse he can get to spend a little more time with her.

onceadragon: (for srs?)

"Well you never know with guys," Claudia shrugged, and crossed her legs before swinging her crossed leg slowly.

"Hmmm maybe. But are you sure you don't know anything about lasers? I might have to zap you in the butt if I ended up going on and on and then come to find out you already knew everything I was talking about."
bonnypiperlad: (hrmph2)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-12 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey!" Jamie harrumphs. "Like ye women are any better." For a moment, he considers taking up the space Claudia vacated by crossing her legs, then decides he'll be nice and not actually do so. Besides, there's lasers to discuss.

"I know ye can shoot things with them, if ye make the right type of gun." That worked pretty well against the Quarks. Of course, so did bunging a rock at them, but the gun was much more satisfying. He smiles a bit at the memory.

"And I know they're useful for other things, but when the Doctor talks about it he tends to go on and on and on." Wait, didn't Claudia just say she might do that too? Hurriedly, he adds, "But you're much cuter than he is." He'd certainly be more willing to listen, he thinks - and completely fails to realize he just told Claudia he thought she was cute.
onceadragon: (I am cute!)

[personal profile] onceadragon 2010-01-13 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hey now!" Claudia protested, her lips turning down into a pout. "I'm a very.. straight forward person..." she grinned then. "Most of the time." OK, so she wasn't a liar or anything, but sometimes she sorta kinda streeeeeeeeetched the truth.

Her eyebrows shot up and she'd have said something, but then he'd gone and said she was cuter than the doctor person. Her grin grew and she fluttered her eyelashes at him. "Well of course I'm cuter! I'm cuter and know lots about lasers. OK not lots lots, but enough to build them and blow something up."
bonnypiperlad: (So...)

[personal profile] bonnypiperlad 2010-01-14 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
Jamie makes a noise in the back of his throat that rather sounds like "Mmmphmm." It's unclear, however, if it's a reaction to Claudia claiming to be straightforward or his slip.

It appears it's only one of those two options, as he comments dryly on the third. "Ye and Wyn should form a blowing-things-up group." He'd watch - well, from a safe distance, anyway. Having an escape route handy might not also be such a bad plan.

"So," he asks after a moment, "Are ye willing to show me things about lasers sometime then?"
