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 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.]

So when a casual sweep of the room caught a glimpse of water tribe garb and a familiar, missed face, there's a moment of complete surprise - and then a wide, crooked grin appears on his face. There's not many people here yet, so he's able to dart through the room quickly and over to the young girl he still thinks of as Katara. It doesn't even occur to him that anything might have changed in stasis. After all, Lister was exactly the same, so why wouldn't she be, too?
"Katara! Hey, Katara!"
no subject
"Jamie!" She greeted, smiling at him. "Hey, its so great to see you! Um, a little bit has changed, but how are you?"
no subject
"When they put ye back in the pods, I thought...well, never mind that. You're here now, and that's all that matters, aye?" He smiles warmly at her. "Trust ye to wonder how I am. You've not been gone long at all. Nothing's different, other than I think ye might have missed my moving into the TARDIS."
Which, really, isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. Her other words are a wee bit puzzling, however, and he gives her a considering look. "What do ye mean changed? Well, your outfit's a wee bit different, but..." He shakes his head and shrugs, not seeing a problem with that. "It suits ye fine, though."
no subject
"I am here, and I am glad, but there was a reason she podded me for such a short amount of time." She took a breath. "I've been telling everyone here that my name is Katara, that I'm from the Southern Water Tribe. As it turns out, Stacy was confused, and gave me the personalities of my mentor and friend, Katara. My name is actually Kaya, and I'm from the Northern Water Tribe. Its true that I eventually joined the Avatar crew and trained with Katara: I even look a little bit like her. But I guessed that was somehow able to throw Stacy for a loop, so...here I am."
no subject
Oh, he knows that Stacy can alter memories, but to change someone so they're like someone else is a concept that's bit hard for him to grasp. He rubs at his forehead, trying to make sense of everything.
"So, you're not Katara, then. You're Kaya. Ye grew up somewhere else, but ye still know the people from your world. And ye know us still. But she had to put ye in the pods to fix it?" He shakes his head, looking a little lost. "I'm sorry, Kata...Kaya. I'm afraid I still don't understand it."
no subject
She sighed. "All the people you've seen from my world: I've met them all, it might be why Stacy got confused in the first place. I did study pretty extensively under Katara, and our styles were similar, but yeah, its still blowing my mind. I am Kaya though...for better or worse, here on the ship."
She wish she understood it better herself: how the ship could keep her as Katara for two years and then go and change that.
no subject
"Aye, well, maybe the Doctor or one of the others can make some sense of it. Katara or Kaya, you're still my friend, and I'm glad you're back here with the rest of us."
The rest of it, he'll just have to accept, but he's seen enough odd things in the past few years that he'll be able to get there eventually - although he can't say he's entirely comfortable with the idea of Stacy being able to put someone else's memories in your body. He'll worry about that later, though. Right now, there's something else he needs to do.
"Look, Kaya, I'm sorry I've not been by to visit ye earlier. I'd meant to try and find ye while we were on that last mission, but I got a wee bit distracted."
no subject
"I'm happy to be back here too," she said. "I may not have known I was podded, but once I came out I knew that I had to go and find you guys right away. There are still several people I have to make sure are all right: I'm starting to get hear stories about how there was an attacker on the ship and all."
She looked a little curious. "What distracted you?"
no subject
He's only really met Sasami the once, and missed the message she had sent entirely. It was only afterward that he's started to pick up on some of what had happened, and that only in bits and pieces.
At the question, however, he looks a little sheepish, rubbing at the back of his head for a moment. It's not quite a nervous gesture, more one that he's using while he tries to figure out what to say.
"Aye, well, it was the marriages, ye see..."
no subject
Kaya looked a little confused. "The marriages? You mean, on that planet?"
no subject
Billy hadn't said anything, so perhaps she hadn't been - or maybe it was something minor. If it had been something really dire, he would have heard about it, he's sure.
Trying to shove the worry aside for the moment, he turns back to the other part of the conversation. "Yes, on the planet. They...mine...didn't turn out quite how I was expecting it to."
no subject
Kaya thought a moment. It WAS Jamie, and she was trying to think who Jamie would be marrying. As much as she tried to imagine a girl, she couldn't see at all who it might be.
"You...did you marry the Doctor?"
no subject
"I-I...yes."
How did she know? Maybe she had heard about it from one of the other crew members. But...she doesn't sound completely certain about it, he thinks. So if that's not the case, then it is a guess. Just an extremely accurate one. Still, he looks at her rather ruefully.
"Is it as obvious as all that?
no subject
She was only thinking of the way she heard most people refer to the marriage planet. It just seemed like either a thing they were forced into, or a way for significant others to show their love.
no subject
This doesn't precisely answer the question - which could be an answer in itself. Or maybe it's just that Jamie doesn't feel like discussing that part of things at the moment, and that's why he's going and changing the subject...slightly, anyway.
"There were plenty of people there who decided to get married who weren't together in that way, though, so I don't see why that has anything to do with it."
no subject
She listened to him a moment, thinking to herself. It was a pretty sensitive subject too, as this was when Aang returned and she was dating Matt, so she thought a moment.
"If they didn't care about being married, why do it?"
no subject
He still doesn't want to talk about that much, though. At least, not right this second. Her other question, though, he feels much more confident about responding to.
"That's just it, ye see. We - the crew - needed to get the artifact for the mission, and the only way to do that was to get married. What if enough of us hadn't been wanted to? We might not have it now."
no subject
There was too much she didn't honestly get about the mission.
"So you were forced to get married, but the Doctor was nice enough to do it with you so you would help get the artifact. Was it worth it?"
no subject
"It's not like they said anything about it when they brought up the mission, ye know. You've not met the Doctor yet, have ye?" He should fix that, he thinks. "You'd understand a wee bit better if ye had. If there's trouble somewhere, he'll find it. He needs someone to look out for him, aye? So I thought it would be for the best that I go, and then, well, when we found out we needed to get married..."
Jamie gives Kaya a shrug. "I knew he wanted to get into the city. We've been through a lot together, Kaya, and I'd trust him with my life. That counts for something, I'd say. So I agreed to marry him."
It's a good question, though. Was it? Jamie's attention turns for a moment to the windows of the Obs Deck, his eyes fixing on the Bleed. He's quiet for a few moments, and when he turns back, his expression is a serious one. "If what we've gotten can help us defeat the Ohm, and restore our universes, then aye. I would say it's worth it."
no subject
Well, if they could get past the whole "worthy" ritual, who was to say that the two hadn't had their heads in the right place? Had Aang not appeared then, she likely would have married Matt to get on the planet too.
"In that case, I understand. I had my own little run in with some trouble, but it was nothing big. How have you been since then? Has the Doctor stayed out of trouble so far?"
no subject
"The Doctor decided, though, that it would be a fine idea to just stroll up to this ship we happened across and knock to get their attention."
It's typical of him, really, do that, and it's not at all hard to read Jamie's thoughts on that just by looking at him. Especially since he's making no effort to try and hide the expression on his face.
"For all we knew, they could have been hostile and shot us on sight."
no subject
She nodded. "It sounds like the Doctor is very interested in getting down and finding out the truth, however harmful and dangerous it might be. But I figure you mighty be used to anyway, since you have gone traveling with him all the time."
She did laugh a little at Jamie's expression. "It's all starting to come back to you, isn't it?"
no subject
After a moment, though, he nods, a touch ruefully. Truer words have never been spoken. "Aye. I suppose some things never change with him, even though he looks different now."
no subject
"I'm glad you said that," Kaya said. "It gives me hope that my situation is going to be easier than it seems. Actually, I wasn't really worried about the reactions of all of you guys I met on the ship anyway, who I just met here."
no subject
Maybe he's wrong about that, but if it had been him that this had happened to, he would likely be the most concerned about the people he had the closest ties to.
"Is that it?"
