'Meat' 'n Greet

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.]

"Hey, cut him a little slack. He just lost his world, so did I for that matter, but he's been trying REALLY hard to get everyone home safely for the last couple of weeks." retorted Chamo.

"But if you need to punch him, do it. It's what Kotaro would do." added the Ermine after a thought.

"All right, that's it!" Tsukasa stood up, grabbed the kid by his shoulders, and stood him up.

"Look. You can't hide. We all have our failures in life. The only thing you can do is move on and make up for them to the best of your ability. And if you don't actually start talking like a normal person, I will consider hitting you."

No, Tsukasa, you are no Shiro Kazami.

"What would you know?!" Snapped Negi, the fire coming back into his eyes. "I lost everything in this mad quest just to see if my father was alive! Everything went horribly wrong from the get go, preventing disaster from disaster to keep my students from harm and now I find out that I'm in the middle of an unavoidable disaster that spans galaxies?! I've been trying my hardest and there's no bloody way I'm going to be able to face anyone because I FAILED!"

Tsukasa smiled. "So, the little kid actually has some life in him, huh?"

He crossed his arms and closed his eyes for a second. "You think you can't face everyone because of your failure. You're wrong. I know it. Your comrades...your friends will still want to be with you. Live. Live to see them. Live to correct the error. Just...live to see another day."

Negi took a step forward, his hand balling into a fist -- but then he lowered it, sighing.

"It's still all gone though. Nothing will change that." The young mage sighed tiredly as he wrapped the too-small cloak around himself, his eyes distant. "My father, my students, all of them out of reach."

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Tsukasa shook his head. "You're wrong. They may be separated from you right now, but they live on in your heart, as cliched as that is. As long as that connection exists, they aren't really gone." He gave a small smile.

"Like a pactio, Aniki. They're connected to you, everyone is." said Chamo.

Negi nodded, taking a shuddering breath before looking up at Tsukasa. "Sorry... for being so depressed. I'm Negi Springfield. This is Chamo-kun."

"Yo," said the Ermine.

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Tsukasa bowed a little. "I'm Kadoya. Tsukasa Kadoya." When he straightened, he noticed Negi was standing in a perfect pose.

*CLICK*

Do you have to take more pictures? Didn't the incident with Spock teach you anything, Tsukasa?

"Tsukasa Kadoya what's with that Rider-like name?" muttered Chamo in surprise.

"A pleasure to meet you Tsukasa-san," said Negi, bowing politely since he was well accustomed to the Japanese culture. "Is your hobby taking photographs?"

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Tsukasa blanched for a second. Does the ferret know I'm a Rider?!

But to Negi, after he recovered, he said, "No, it's not a hobby. I am a photographer."

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Very interesting... mused Chamo to himself, watching Tsukasa's reaction.

Negi on the other hand smiled. "That's good, I have a student of mine who does the whole photography thing. I hope she's alright."

He sighed. "Sorry, I can't stop thinking about things at times. But um, so how is it here?"

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
He shrugged. "It's not bad. Three square meals a day. Decent living arrangements." He pointedly avoids his initial experiences aboard ship, though: He thinks the child would not like a recreation of a Rider Battle.

He glared at the ferret when he noticed the thinking expression on its face, though.

"Any place I can, um, practice martial arts?" inquired Negi. Not everyone believed in magic after all, and he didn't want to get out of shape, lest a brain-sucking alien was immune to making with the pew pew.

Chamo only grinned cheekily at Tsukasa with a knowing grin.

"It is important to keep in shape," Tsukasa said, nodding. "There are the sensoriums, to start with. They can take an image from your memory and recreate it with very good detail. I suppose you can also practice in the main city, but it's still not in the best shape."

Tsukasa really wants to hit the ferret. He's acting as smug as he is, and no one is as smug as Tsukasa!

"Yeah and Master Ku and Master will get on my case if they ever showed up." Negi tried to think of the energetic Chinese girl knocking down buildings or Evangeline on the run.

A chill went up his spine even as Chamo winked at Tsukasa and began to whistle an off-beat tune.

"Your ferret looks like it needs to go to the bathroom."

"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.

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"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.

[identity profile] ermine-flash.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Hmm... you really think so?" inquired Chamo with a sage expression, folding his little forelegs thoughtfully.

And then he grinned, a twinkle of lecherous intent in his eyes. "You're darn right I would! AND steal some panties while I'm at it!"

Negi hung his head and sighed.

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"..." Tsukasa decided to re-introduce his face to the palm of his hand. I wonder if I can hit that ferret from here...

He glared at Chamo...again.

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sorry, he's just a little um... perverted." Apologized Negi.

"I consider it to be fancy free," replied Chamo defensively.

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Little?!

"Yes." Tsukasa replied. "So, let me ask you something. Why can your little pet talk, anyway? Where I come from, ferrets don't talk, much less smoke."

[identity profile] ermine-flash.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
By anyone else's standards, a lot. But a little was actually a good perspective considering Jack Rakan.

"It's cause I'm magic," replied Chamo, answering for Negi. "I'm a fairy ermine which gives me the ability to talk. All of my people can speak."

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
"So, you aren't a human transformed as a punishment for something you did in the past?"

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-02 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"D:" emoted Chamo and Negi even had to laugh at that.

"Actually the punishment for breaking the statute of secrecy is Ermineification but um, I guess it doesn't apply here." explained Negi.

"And no, I'm an actual fairy ermine, not a human transformed into one." added Chamo in a huff.
