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.

"Oh." Grif's quiet for about three seconds as the meaning of that sinks in.

He grins slightly. "Wait. That means you can't kill me, right?"

Watch out Tex, he's getting hopeful!

"Give me time to get a body," she growls, the hologram leaning in Grif's direction in a distinctly threatening way. "Believe me, I want out of this complex."
whyarewehere: (-Grif. Dexter Grif.)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-03 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Where are you going to get a body? Nobody here has helmet radios."

Actually Grif, yes they do. Just not most of the time. Also, notice this gem of lucid and sense-making thought in the middle of Grif's panicking. He'd be proud of it if he had time to think about it.

"A robot worked last time. If I can get out of here? Should work again." That's what she's counting on, anyway. "Just need the opportunity."
whyarewehere: (-looking over shoulder)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-03 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Do you see any robots in here, Tex? No? Didn't think so," says Grif. He starts to get more cocky, and returns to his seat at the table.

"Look, I have no idea what's going on. Can we call a truce for five seconds and figure this out?"

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"I know what's going on; I got the overview already. Basically? You've been kidnapped onto a flying meatship in space. Sucks to be you! And me, and everybody else on this flying spleen."
whyarewehere: (-Grif. Dexter Grif.)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, great. And just when I thought things were going to be nice and normal again. I'd rather be shot in the foot," Grif grumps. Actually, he wouldn't. So far he's managed to avoid injury, and that's kinda great.

But still... "The food here sucks."

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd shoot you, but one, Stacy gets pissed if when people try to maim each other, and two? I can't actually hold anything. Like, say, a gun, a rock, a skull..." Creative Tex is alarmingly creative.

The comment on food just gets a shrug. "You're on a giant flying alien spleen. What did you expect?"
whyarewehere: (-<_<)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Ghost bullets?" Grif offers.

"I don't know, couldn't she at least have stolen some Oreos or something?"

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I'd need a ghost gun. And I'd need to actually be a ghost."

She eyeballs him for a moment. "I'd say it might be good for you, but I'm pretty sure you're just make up for it by eating more slop."
whyarewehere: (-Srs Face)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
"..."

Grif stares. For three straight seconds.

"You're not a ghost?"

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
"...Let's see. I'm in an AI complex, showing up as a hologram, and when I'm not yelling at your dumb ass, I'm supposed to be doing diagnostics."

She stares at him. "Yeah. I'd say I'm not a ghost."
whyarewehere: (-No kiddin'?)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
"So... you're a computer." Oh, okay, this makes a lot of sense because -

"So you DO have no soul!"

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
"What the hell? Fuck you!"

Congratulations, Grif. You've just started off the long and colorful list of obscenities that will be directed at you during your stay on Stacy.
whyarewehere: (-<_<)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
"Fuck you too. Don't you have other people you can go annoy?"

Grif kinda wants to get back to his gross food. It's better than talking to Tex, and the sooner it's gone the sooner he can stop thinking about it until he next gets hungry.

Which he hopes isn't for, oh, the rest of his natural life. This stuff is horrible.

"Seeing as I don't recognize anybody else? Not yet." She folds her arms over her chest again, giving the distinct impression that she's glowering at him. "I can piss you off All. Day. Long."
whyarewehere: (-Thinkin')

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
"That depends on whether or not you can piss me off," says Grif. He's going to ignore her now and eat his crappy lunch.

At least, that's the plan anyway. She's hard to ignore due to his well-developed fear of her.

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm pretty sure I can. Or I can just make you piss yourself."
whyarewehere: (-No kiddin'?)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope. You're just a hologram. You can't hurt me, so," Grif shrugs, smirking. "No fear."

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
"No fear until I get a body, anyway. There's probably at least a few kidnapped techies here." She glances around the room, apparently unconcerned with Grif's smirking.
whyarewehere: (-No kiddin'?)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, but I'm just gonna tell them you're a bitch and would like kill us all or something, and they won't. That's easy."

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Considering you have the people skills of a dead rat-excuse me, a lazy dead rat-I wouldn't count on your convincing anybody."
whyarewehere: (-Grif. Dexter Grif.)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh come on, everybody liked me more than you and you know it. Stop being jealous."

Sorry Tex, his panic meter maxed out so he's going to stay numb like that for at least the next couple of hours.

Or until something else scares the crap out of him.

[identity profile] domeanthings.livejournal.com 2009-06-04 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
"At least I was useful. What're you going to do here? I don't think Stacy has anything that's powered by bitching."
whyarewehere: (-looking over shoulder)

[personal profile] whyarewehere 2009-06-04 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Grif's going to ignore that slight, for now. There's doubtless going to be tons to follow.

"Stacy? Is that the name of this place? Stupid name."

And if she is powered by bitching, she just woke up a major power source.
