'Meat' 'n Greet

[cityship]

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a green-skinned alien and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]

"...it's 387 AC for me," Kang's wings rustled. No wonder the half-elf didn't recognize what he was; in 346 AC, most of Krynn didn't even know of his kind's existence.

"You spoke with Nanoha-san? Ah I see." Rein smiled and floated onto Signum's shoulder. "Yes, Fate-san and Vivio-chan are here, and Kala-chan a prospective applicant is here too."

"When you were awake here, you may have heard of a being called the Nightmare King sealed in the city. Shortly after my last memory of talking to you, his seal began to crack. From that point on, we began to have progressively more horrifying nightmares every night. Eventually, they hurt---and the injuries we sustained carried over to the waking world. At the instruction of the Magic Department, we began to train to face our fears: the fears he preyed on."

"Many of my memories are a blur. For some reason, I have difficulty remembering who was involved in different stages of the effort. I remember training, and losing sleep, and waiting for it all to end...well, it did end, but not in a way I would like." Deep breath. This is the tough part, but it's become easier to say with time and healing.

"We were all brought together in a nightmare world. There, I was overwhelmed and transformed into my worst nightmare---an evil version of myself. I used my power to attack my friends and very nearly killed them. If I hadn't maintained the sliver of self-awareness that I did, I would have." Blink. That was the most difficult part to acknowledge. The rest is easier.

"Others had similarly terrifying experiences, and we all came out worse for the wear. In the end, though, the team fighting the Nightmare King won and the rest of us were freed. We're slowly recovering now, though it hasn't been beneficial to the crew to have their worst fears extracted and used against them. So the crew members you meet may not be as responsive as usual."

"Yeah." Tycho managed a slight chuckle as he rubbed at his forehead. "Yeah they do ..." He nodded more firmly. "Wedge was here alone for a while before I arrived, so people certainly come out of the pods in a spaced out fashion. I don't know why Stacy releases the ones she does when she does, but it seems like a regular occurence. We'll just have to wait for them. And Illea too," he added as an afterthought. It would be good for Wedge to have his fiance.

Colonel. Alright, so that wasn't a perfect timestamp, but it was enough to let Ben know that the pilot, like Master Katarn, was a fish out of temporal water. "I don't think so," he said, shaking his head. "But I'm pretty sure you know my dad."

Ashley did her utmost best to not stare at Chief's armor and size. Being in Shepard's crew had helped with that. "You'll do. Right now I have a couple questions for you. I'm Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams of the SSV Normandy."

"Chamo? Maybe. He's being kind of weird lately," said Negi, looking at Chamo who shrugged. "Well, I suppose he doesn't mean any harm."

"Of course I don't mean any harm Aniki, I'm just an innocent ermine," replied the animal.

"Long story short. Welcome to the multiverse, where people from other world's have watched you on two TV Shows. One where Buffy is the main character, and the other where Angel is." That second one oughta piss him off. "Plays, He's telling the truth. I'd just thought I'd hedge my bets and threaten him with horrible things just in case he didn't have his soul."

Remember your etiquette, Sam. Saying that implied they were even on the same level, which obviously wasn't the truth. "Uh. Well. Categorically speaking. Obviously you're on a much higher level than myself. But I'm glad to see I'm not the only one of our kind here." Nice backpedal. He tried a friendly, harmless smile. "My name is Sam Henderson. I'm a doctor in Chicago, under the Ruthwen clan." He held out a hand, perhaps for an equally friendly and harmless shake.

And just... have a look.

This look in the icon, in fact. Vega'd been talking so quickly that Kira had barely been able to keep up with it, but he'd caught a few things. "Wait, wait! You're talking too-- what do you mean, our worlds are gone?"

Signum quietly turned when she heard her voice, looking over at the young child.

"Ah, Vivio?" she said, and then paused, her expression becoming more scrutinizing than it was before.

"...You are somewhat taller than I remember, and I only saw you a few days ago."

She hadn't gotten to be such a good swordsman without being able to pick up on the little details.

A certain dragon survey's the surroundings and the crowd as she enters the observation deck. Not small by any means, coming to around five and a half foot at the shoulder, she still has the distinct impression that she's been shrunk down from her usual much larger size.

Celena's eyes alight with curiosity as to all the different species and people amongst the crowd. Sadly noting the current lack of presence of any other Linar, the prospect of learning of new cultures and peoples brightening her outlook somewhat as she walks on in.

Biotechnology?

<I want one.>


"Wow...They can't even make robots where I'm from...that's pretty amazing." He kept the childlike awe of humans discovering something new in his voice, none of the covetousness greed in his voice.

The host was still and silent within him, aware what would happen to him if the Yeerk host jumped here.

<Tick Tock, human, Tick. Tock.>

There was a moment of complete silence from the host, thoughts so quiet they were almost out of reach, he'd have to shift focus from the creature in front of him to pin them down <I haven't heard anything about a Kandrona yet, Yeerk. Tick Tock>

Or maybe you're the one from the wrong time, Ben. :|

"Oh?" Tycho smiled down at the boy. "Who's your dad then?"

[notmannotelf.livejournal.com]

Forty one years in my future? He looked stunned a moment. "Then you probably wouldn't know the others, most of my friends were Human, they would have died of old age."

He has a feeling he really doesn't want to know what happen to them. "I'm Tanis."

"I'm sure that would make Wedge very happy. So what have you, and Wedge been up to in way of preparations?" Since they were in the middle of war Kyle doubted that Wedge had just sat around.

Hikari blinked. "Umm... no. Not really. Tailmon's my digimon partner..." she said. "And... thank you. But I... everything's gone..." she said, frowning.

"I see," she says simply as her little companion took her place on her shoulder. "I ought to look for them, eventually."

First, though, she wanted to figure out more of what was going on, and the easiest place to do so was right here.

"So many people," she says, nodding towards the crowd. "Where are they all from? TSAB regulated worlds?"

"I never believed I'd ever say this, but I agree with you" the Watcher replied. He already hated the pod suit.

"That makes me sound vaguely pedophilic," Alessa said making a face, "But I do vengeance on behalf of children, yes. It's my thing."

To use slang terms, anyway.

"Ah, I got that," she said. "Hopefully you don't meet that Buffy character then.

Trudy shook Samus's hand once it was offered, boggling at the tech. "I don't know if you come from the same place I do, but I would love to get my hands on some of that armor."

She shrugged a little at the explanation. "If there's a CO going to make a speech, I'll wait for the speech."

"Innocent my foot. You seem like the kind of ferret," Tsukasa put a lot of emphasis on the word, "that would climb up an innocent girl's leg." He gave Chamo a sideways glance.

[notsaintkaiser.livejournal.com]

Somewhat taller? Met only a few days ago?

If Vivio could mentally curse, she would have. She was another from Nanoha's time. Maybe sooner...

"I... I'm from the future. Nanoha-mama's future. I..." Vivio stammered. The next question would cinch everything. "Signum-san, what was the last thing you remember?"

[fieldpromoted]

Trudy gripped Grace's hand firmly and pulled her into a backpatting hug, still grinning. "Good to see you too - you sure we aren't actually dead? Because I was pretty damn close myself before I came out of stasis covered in snot."

"Luke Skywalker. Pretty sure you flew with him a few times."
