Newbie Meet n' Greet

[cityship]

For the newbies, there are people waiting for them in the Obs Deck. A whole gaggle of people. Behind them is the nasty statue, and the beautiful sight through the windows of the stars streaming past and the swirling vortex of collars that was interdimensional travel.

There are more questions than answers, but the crew is willing to help, especially the Command Staff and greeters.

"I was about twenty seconds ago, but apparently I've decided that optimism is the best course. Stacy's even less likely to put us back in our little lives if we complain about it." This is very true. The deciding about it twenty seconds ago, not the bit about Stacy. (Yoshimi will grimace and say nothing; she usually practices the protocol 'suffer in silence'.)

"Oh, well... that explains the accent, I guess. Though it's a bit more Irish than British. I'm guessing that means you're from Ireland."

"... I'll spare you the lecture, but there's not actually a British accent. Anyway, yeah, I'm Irish, just not from Ireland. I'm from the Gaeltacht Quarter of London, which is basically a chunk of Dublin that got picked up and dropped in the middle of London." Wyn says with a shrug. This is not a metaphor, by the way; druids can do insane things when they put their minds to it.

"Ah, I see," she says simply, nodding. "Sounds like you're obstinate about your heritage, though. That's new to me. We don't really care about nationalities and whatnot. It's all the same to us."

Wyn blinks. "Well, to be fair, we probably wouldn't be as attached as we are without centuries of being conquered and pillaged and whatnot. There's a reason most people speak Gaelic, and it's not because the government's made it the official language." she says, giving the pink-haired girl a slightly sad look.

Yoshimi looks a little confused. "Wait, so... oh, you still teach national history? We stopped that a while ago; wars have been abolished, so there's all this stuff about not wanting our children to learn about that kind of violence. It's kind of silly; if they happened back then, they can happen again now. Not that I would know; I'm part of the group that didn't learn about them. Still, pillaging and being conquered doesn't sound fun. My condolences?"
