'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.]

"Aw, you're cute!" Tsukasa said, rubbing his hand in Negi's hair and also getting a closer look at his glasses at the same time.

"About those spectacles...are they for reading? They look quite small."

Negi flushed at the headrub. "My sister gave these to me. I wear them for reading and daily use."

"I do have fairly good vision without them though," added Negi. "Helps to read mostly though."

Tsukasa chuckled. "You read a lot? I never would have guessed."

Negi chuckled, embarrassed as he nodded. "I spent most of my childhood reading and studying. I'm the youngest graduate from the magic university I attended."

Hmm...sounds like Sayo. Tsukasa's expression grew far away as he recalled his childhood with his little sister. He sighed and drew himself back together.

"When I first...awakened here, I had a lot of questions. I didn't get many answers, but I can share a little of what I know with you. After all," Tsukasa said, starting to sound like a teacher, "One makes the best decisions well-informed, right?

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
Negi nodded. "Knowledge is a good thing. Please, anything you could tell me would be much obliged."

[identity profile] capture-worlds.livejournal.com 2010-04-03 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well," Tuskasa started, while he drew a breath, "As you know, we were plucked from our respective universes of origin for this. Why, I do not know. However, and I am sorry to tell you this, it seems like there was a lot of devastation in our home universes."

"This ship just came out of fighting something called the 'Nightmare King,' though. I'm still rather fuzzy on the details, but apparently he was the Big Bad here for a while."

"If my theory is right, one of his powers was to create clones of the people here. It fits in with me having to fight three separate people, one of them one Shiro Kazami." Tsukasa figures that the kid wouldn't know who Kamen Rider V3 even is, but he guessed Negi would be impressed with the fact that he fought and lived to tell the tale.

Negi nodded, thinking about the implications of such a refugee ship fraught with peril.

And then his mind sort of latched onto the name. "S-Shiro Kazami?! Y-you mean Kamen Rider V3?! HERE?!"

There was a big wide-eyed expression on Negi's face, something along the lines of Pure Fanboyism. It was a well known fact amidst the students of 3-A that Negi was a Rider fan.

Tsukasa grabbed his ears. "Do you have to shout?" He said, but then the words sunk in.

"...You know what a Kamen Rider is?"

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-04 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Negi nodded, eyes shining. "They're my favorite! I've seen the series and watched every season been released up till 2003 and I enjoy reading the manga...!"

He was trailing into fanboyisms now, and the young child was grinning like a schoolboy.

"Series? Manga?" Tsukasa was actually confused. He started to take a step back, to get some distance, to think. Except his foot landed wrong. His DecaDriver and RideBooker spilled out, with the Kamen Rider Kuuga Cards landing right at Negi's feet.

Oh, crap...

[identity profile] hisfathersstaff.livejournal.com 2010-04-04 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Noticing the spill, Negi bent over and picked up the DecaDriver and scooped up the RideBooker and the cards, his eyes widening. "You're...!"

Negi was torn. He was about to

A) Squeal like a fan

or

B) Squeal more like a fan.

He settled for C) None of the above, saved face and blushed as he offered the items to Tsukasa with the reverence you'd show to the Emperor. "Tsukasa-san, you're a Rider? So cool!"

He drug himself off the floor, cursing mentally at his foot and then his luck.

"Tsukasa-san, you're a Rider? So cool!" Right after Negi finished that sentence, Tsukasa ducked behind him and grabbed him, placing his hand over his mouth.

"Yes, I'm a Rider. And don't say that out loud" Tsukasa blurted out. No real point in hiding it from this kid. He's already figured it out. At this point, am I even going to keep my Rider powers a secret?!

He sighed and removed his hand from the young mage's mouth and sighed. "Look...Negi," He started, actually using his name, "I am a Rider. However, at this point in time, I want to keep that as secret as I can. Can you keep this truth safe?"

He gently retook his Belt Buckle, cards, and weapon back; replacing them into their normal spot.

Negi nodded rapidly. "Don't worry, I know the value of keeping a good secret!" Not like his own managed to stay secret at all, but he knew that Riders were very protective of their identities. "You can trust me, I won't tell at all!"

His enthusiasm was childlike, for good reason.

Tsukasa really couldn't help smiling a little at the enthusiasm Negi was showing. "Thanks, kid. I appreciate that. A lot." He then drew in a breath and got up.

"Well, I'll see you around. I have places to go, and people to take pictures of. After all, I am a passing through," and he leaned in close to Negi before saying, "Kamen Rider." He then headed toward the exit, but not before saying, "Remember that."

"I will!" Negi called out, waving at him.

It was a start. And Negi was feeling better already.
