Meet-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 tall man in green armor 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.]

Zhiai'kahn sighed. She was tired of wars. She'd spent so much of her life dedicated to war, only to lose her faith in her mission once it was over. A war spanning multiple planets was disheartening, to say the least.

She didn't particularly want to talk about that with a stranger, though. And is seemed like the green one wasn't so enthused by the topic of conversation, either. "What are you called?" she asked. She was not sure if she had any place in this army, but it would still be wise to know the individuals in it.

"Oh um..." He smiled cheerfully again eager to make conversation that wasn't so depressing, "Beastboy. And you?"

"I am Zhiai'kahn Ahl," she replied.

"Of the Sansani race," she added on, after some thought. She did not know what his species was, so it made sense that he would not know her's. "You said you are... human, correct?"

"That's right, I'm just err...a little special. Check it." And with that he shifted down into the form of a chipmunk.

Said Chipmunk gave Zhiai a thumbs up.

Startled by the sudden transformation, Zhiai'kahn scrambled back from the small green rodent. "Deity's limbs!" she gasped. "How... how did you...?"

Beastboy shifted back looking proud, "Well it's a long story, but the short version is that Science and good luck made it so I can shift into any animal I think of."

To demonstrate he shifted into a bird next.

"I... I did not know science could do that," the old Sansani said, smoothing her fur down with her front paws now that she was over the initial shock. "Is that why you are a different color from the rest of the people here?"

"You got it." He chuckled after shifting back, "I was infected by this bad disease when I was little, my dad saved me with science and as a side effect I became stunningly handsome~"

"Actually, you're quite ugly," she said flatly. And she wasn't joking around, either - she was sincere. All of these humans were ugly by her standards, with their lack of fur and limbs. Beastboy had the extra flaw of being green, which would stick out in the red trees of her planet. There's no way someone with his coloring could find a mate on Viashahg.

Beastboy winced, "Yowch, you don't pull any punches that's for sure." But he laughed it off anyway.

"Well, at my age, I don't have time to be anything but blunt." Don't feel bad, Beastboy. You just happen to be talking to one of the most cynical old geezers in all of Viashahg.

"But I am curious. You do not seem to be upset about this mutation of yours. You look so different from all of these humans, are you not an outcast?"

There was a chuckle and a grin, "Well to tell you the truth I love my powers. Sure I stand out in a crowd but I've never been the kind of guy to blend in anyway. And how many dudes can say they've flown through the sky and swam into the darkest depths of the ocean? I can run faster then regular guys, lift tons of weight, and I get to use my powers to help protect people and save the day." He wiggled his ears again, "It's a fair trade as far as I'm concerned."
