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.]

"Better for you then," Mindy said. "A lot of people would be beside themselves hearing that come out of me. So I guess I'm not the only one you hear this kinda stuff from. You must have quite a few foul mouth people here."

Her kind of place then, at least that part.

"There are heroes in my world, but they're not like you guys. They're the type that have to be quicker, faster, smarter than bad guys. When you fight guys like that you don't mess around: you take them out. They'll do it to you, and they don't care who they have to hurt. They don't have powers: they have to equip themselves with everything they need to save people."

She paused. "But don't tell anyone. I'm only telling you since you're Beastboy and I know you can keep this identity thing to yourself. For now. I have to be Mindy, and that's all anyone else needs to know."

Beastboy nodded and drew an invisible zipper across his lips, "You're secret's safe with me, just um..." He looked over his shoulders to make sure no one was too close, "Watch yourself. You should be safe for the most part on board. The ship is so against violence it kind of takes a "I don't care who started it I'm ending it"

"A few weeks ago this really foul mouthed girl with blond hair, I never got her name. She was going around getting in peoples faces and trying to start fights. I managed to keep my cool but I heard that she got tranq'd a couple of times. There are places in the ship that Stacy's security can't reach though like "The City"."

He gave her a thumbs up, "It's cool that you know what you're doing though...I mean if you know anything about me you know I'm pretty clumsy most the time."

Actually if she REALLY knew her Teen Titan trivia she'd know that when he buckled down he was a force to be reckoned with, but Beastboy chose to deny that part of him. Frankly it scared him.

"Let's see we've also got Superman, Batman, Nightwing, Starfire..." He listed off names from his world she might know, "OH! And um...do you know Terra?"

Mindy snickered. "Relax. I said I was a hero, didn't I? Who goes around picking fights? I'm not trying to draw attention to myself. Besides, I won't look like this if I decide to do what I did back home. But if these people don't believe in violence that's just stupid. Sometimes you have to knock somebody out to get some respect."

She scoffed. "See that's what I'm talking about. With the different kinds of people on this ship, you're bound to get a few that start trouble just for kicks. Those people aren't going to listen to reason. So what was this chick's problem?"

She shrugged. "Everybody can be when they're facing a really strong enemy. The trick is to get really good at what you do. Trust me, you don't into a pro at this overnight."

She had the scars to prove it.

She listened, shaking her head. "Holy crap. That is a lot of superheroes. I'm still trying to process all this. Terra, wasn't that the girl that got iced by..."

She shook her head. "Uh, never mind."

"Well if you need a new uniform there's a lady in the city who makes clothes, but your stuff might be in the storage lockers. I found an old mask of mine from when I was a kid."

He sweat dropped, "No clue, all I got out of her was alot of bestiality jokes."

"Right, well sort of. See she's alive again but can't remember who she is. She's insisting that her name is Ashley so like...if you run into her yeah."

Mindy nodded, but she actually already knew where her costume was: it was the place she'd gotten her butterfly knife. What Beastboy would need with a mask, she didn't know, unless it was an old mask from his former team.

Mindy wrinkled her nose. "She sounds like a barrel of laughs."

And here, she could understand trying to start over, sort of. "Doesn't she realize you know who she is?"

"Denials a powerful thing." Beastboy mused, "I mean who knows, maybe she really has forgotten. Starfire once told me that it's kind of like a butterfly you know? She made a new life for herself away from all the pain that her powers brought her. I'll respect that even if it means we can't hang out anymore."

He sighed and shook his head, "Sorry had to have an emo moment there, call it character depth." He laughed. "The point though is like...just because you're here doesn't mean you have to fight. It's your choice, there's plenty of other jobs on the ship for people who aren't really scrappers like us."

Well that was something to think about. She hadn't died, though she'd come awfully close and had been on her way to getting out of it. It looked like Beastboy's old flame was actually taking a step in the right direction...for her. But what about her?

"It happens," she said, "Heroes don't always get happy endings. In fact, they're pretty lucky if they get a happy ending to begin with. And if you weren't brought on the ship to fight, what else would you do?"

"Well you could cook, make stuff, we've got a science wing if that's your thing, or there's always call for manual labor."

A devious grin crossed his features, "Or you could waste away the days goofing off in the library which has like every book, comic book, movie, cartoon, T.V show ever! And the Sensoriums are like totally the greatest video games ever. There's all kinds of stuff to see in the City too."

And that was Beastboy's lame attempt to try and sell the ship as not being all doom and gloom and danger all the time.

Ok, none of that sounded like anything she wanted to do, not at all. She was just about to tell that to Beastboy too when she spotted someone watching her from across the room. She almost didn't notice it, but there was something about this woman that screamed NARC. She needed to find out what she could too: this might lead to something that might help her get a better idea of what the hell she was going to do on this ship.

"I'll get back to you on that," she told him. "Thanks for the info though. I figure the more I talk to people, the more I'll get a picture of what I should be doing here. Good luck with your Outsiders. I'll look into this 'city' you're talking about. See you."

She could practice being accommodating later. Her head was already spinning with stuff she was still having a hard time believing.
