Meet and Greet Part Deux: The Socialing

[cityship]

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.]

"Aye, I've always made my money one of two ways; Busking with my guitar, or the odd bit o' street magic. There arn't too many job opportunities for a blind avatar in Ireland." Well, there was that one, but after how it ended, it wasn't something Blin wanted to think about. Being used by an international governing agency had that kind of affect on someone.

"I come from a long line of pipers," Jamie admits. "Ye could say that was my job, before..." He trails off. "Well, before Culloden."

He's about to say more, but one word Blin used catches his attention. "I'm sorry, did ye say Avatar?" It can't be Katara's Aang - not with Blin being from Ireland. But how many people actually use that word?

"Aye, avatars. People with powers. My energy thing makes me one, though why I was chosen, I dinnae know. Back home, our powers aren't natural; they aren't genetic, either. My genes are exactly the same as any other human. But, God chose to grant superhuman powers to a whole bunch o' people to compensate for their flaws. Me, I'm blind, so my powers give me a form of vision and extend on that. I know one guy, he couldn't walk, got the ability to fly. Powers always go above and beyond simply fixing whatever issue they were made for, though... Some people say we got the powers to take place in a celestial war, me, personally? I think it's just Gods way of sayin' 'my bad'."

Blin was never big on religion, but certain things about the powers were common knowledge back home; they weren't natural, science couldn't figure out how they worked or even if people had them, so everyone knew it was divine. It was fact.

"Oh, so there's more than one of ye. I heard the term before, but it was being used to refer to just one person." It makes sense that they'd both be referring to someone with powers, however.

Jamie hms thoughtfully. "Well, from what ye are saying, it sounds like them being from God would make the most sense. But it's no like there's anything close to what ye have where I come from, so I couldna say. As for a celestial war...I don't know. I mean, ye have the situation with the Ohm here. For all I know they could be related."

"They could indeed." blin shrugged. "Not that I can see how it really matters, thought. Related or not, this is the fight we're in now, so this is the one to worry about. The past is gone and the future requires tendin' to."

He got up off the meatcouch and held his hand out to Jamie. "Pleasure meetin' ye. Yer a good bloke, for a Scot." He said with a smile.

[bonnypiperlad]

"Likewise." Jamie smiles, and rises from the meatcouch as well before shaking the offered hand.

"Let me know if ye still want the tour sometime, aye?"

[billy-blin.livejournal.com]

"Aye, I will at that." He smiled again as he walked away.
