Meet N' Greet

Part of the crew might be gone, but life on the ship goes on. In fact, new people have woken up and, eventually, they've been spat out into the mess hall.

Maybe it's better to introduce them to some of the worst aspects of ship life first, right?

Anyway, the word is out that there's new people, and someone should probably go say hello. Before the n00bs mistake the glop for crew.

There's a heavily scarred boy sitting at a . . . well, it functions as a table, even if it looks alive, eating gray goo out of a papery tray. He's tearing bits of the tray off to scoop the slop out with. He doesn't look thrilled about the activity.

"You're new," he says, sounding about as thrilled about her novelty as he looks about his food.

She turned her head at the voice, and frowned. One, it didn't make sense what he was doing eating what looked like slop. Two, she didn't know if he was trying to be cute, or annoying.

"Well how'd you figure that one out? Was it my blank stare? How I have no idea where I am? Or are you just Captain Obvious, with the power to state everything that's obviously obvious?" So she couldn't help it.

Oh, he's certainly not trying to be cute. Zuko doesn't do cute.

"I'm Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation."

Stacy - the great equalizer.

"Are you planning on being more polite after you get used to this place, or is this sort of conversation going to happen a lot?"

This is all delivered in the same deadpan with which he commented on her newness.

"It'll probably happen alot. It's just how I am. Not that you seem any politer." She narrowed her eyes just slightly. Well someone had gotten up on the wrong side of, whatever this place considered a bed.

"No idea what the Fire Nation is, and you don't look much like a prince to me. So I'm sticking with Zuko." She held out a hand and gave a sweet smile. Biting sarcasm aside, she could be friendly when she wanted to be.

"Name's Cissie."

He looks at her hand, under it, and then back at her.

"What do you want me to do with that?"

Now his usual "why am I here" tone has a tinge of confusion.

She tried very hard not to laugh, but it was nearly impossible. Did he seriously not know? She shook her head and gave a smile, biting into her bottom lip to prevent the bubbling laughter from erupting.

"You shake it. You put your hand in mine, and move it up and down. It's a friendly greeting. Didn't they have handshakes where you're from?"

[identity profile] found-myway.livejournal.com 2009-06-02 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"No. We bow, like this."

He puts his hands together, right hand in a fist with the thumb side up, left hand open at a 90 degree angle to his palm and resting on top of the fist. He lowers his head and back a few inches in a short, but respectful, bow. See, he DOES have manners! He's just a jerk.

"You remind me of my sister's friend Ty Lee."

It kind of just jumps out there.

Cissie was a bit shocked at the bow, and then smiled. She'd let her sarcasm rest for now. Zuko didn't seem like that bad of a guy. Plus, she was the one who had bit at him first. Foot in her mouth, what a great first impression.

"I don't know if that's a good thing or not." She gave him a smile and then pointed to what he was eating before. "So tell me you're eating that, cause of a dare or something."

"She's all right." She's not psychotic, which is a plus. She's not Mai, which is a minus.

He frowns at his slop. "All the Sensoriums were full. And believe it or not, this is Stacy's idea of fine dining."

He tears off another chunk of his tray and glares at it. "It's as bad as it looks."

"Stacy's got one hell of a great sense of humor." She shakes her head and tries not to gag at seeing him tear off the piece of the trey. "If that's fine dining, I don't want to know what she thinks is fast food."
