Meat n' Greet

[cityship]

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.]

Comments

"Then we'll just need to gang up on 'em," Applejack insisted stubbornly. "They took our homes and they're takin' even more. I ain't just gonna sit by while it happens."

The whole situation had her rather irritated.

Dean's eyes widened at that. She's small, but he had to admire the attitude.

"Yeah you and me both there, sister," he replied with a begrudging smile.

[appletastic]

"Thank you kindly," Applejack smirked, a gleam in her eye. "Name's Applejack. I'll help you get 'em, yes sir!"

She trotted up to him, extending a hoof in greeting.

Something about her enthusiasm and how she talked briefly reminded him painfully of Kaylee. He shoved those thoughts way down, and gave a seeming bright smile to mask his troubled emotions.

He debated on how to shake before carefully grabbing her hoof to greet.

"I'm Dean, one of the seniors of Security these days." Actually the one of heads, but not till he checked with Nightwing when the guy returned from planetside

[appletastic]

"Well howdy, Dean. So...security? Y'all go around making things all nice and secure?"

Ponyville hadn't really needed security patrols. The peaceful ponies tended to police themselves.

"As much as we can, the sh... stuff hits the fan regularly on board and planetside. Why we're a little light on crew at the moment. Some of them are still on a mission." For some reason, he felt he better censor himself a bit around the pony. Felt weird to be cussing.

[appletastic]

"Sounds like I could get caught with my hooves in a tangle. Are these 'missions' happening all the time?"

Missions. Goals were good, and they needed to complete them, but why break everypony up?

"Depends, been more lately. There's also shore leaves for supply runs and trading with the locals."

[appletastic]

"Oh, neat! I'll bring my wares to town if y'all need some supplies. Might not get much for apple treats, but I'll see what I can do."

Because apple pie was definitely going to buy some much-needed ship part, yes.

Watch Dean perk up at that comment, and briefly almost look like his four year old self again.

"Apple treats, what kind of apple treats?"

[appletastic]

"Any mouth-waterin' apple snack you can name! Fritters, muffins, cupcakes, cider, juice, turnover, dipped, pies. I'll just need to get my hooves on an ingredient or three."

And that would be the best night ever. Classic baking, just like old times.

"...Pies?" Ok now he's sounding more like his four year old self.

"Hey, we got ingredients around, and you're welcome to bring them by the house if you uh need taste testers or anything."

[appletastic]

"Sounds swell! I'll be right over whenever y'all have a hankering for pie. Soon as I find the apples, we're getting started."

Something told Applejack that this one could use a little happiness in his life. She'd help him right up with some charm and cheer.

"Hey, anytime's a good time for pie, or the other stuff sounded awesome too." Hey, he wasn't going to turn down homemade sweets and treats. Just nothing with strawberries. He didn't want the reminder now.
