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.]

"Aww, well that doesn't sound so bad! Can't live on a farm if you're not ready to eat slop every once in a while."

But this, Applejack did not yet know, would be the blandest slop she ever tasted. That would not be fun. "So what do you do with yourself around here, Ben?"

"I really don't do much of anything beyond spend time in the library, tending to my plants and just driving around," replied Ben. "It's a big ship so there's always something to do mind you."
appletastic: (Just some healthy skepticism)

"I've seen some of it. Bit fancy for my tastes, but it'll do to get us through the war, right?"

That was what Applejack needed to focus on. Getting through the war. "I'd like to see your plants sometime, if you don't mind. I've always been interested in 'em."

"Yeah it really is. And you're right, I'd like to show you the plants I have. This one mana tree I have is pretty neat. It's making all of the other plants thrive." added Ben.
appletastic: (Now lemme think a minute)

"Now what's mana?" Applejack had to ask. That was another one of those fancy words she hadn't heard before.

"Mana's life energy, sort of what people would call magic. It's the energy of the universe, and everyone uses it in their own way, either just living day to do, or casting magic." explained Ben. "My cousin Gwen uses it a lot.

"Oh, magic! I gotcha." Applejack would never truly understand it, but at least she knew what it was.

"Well I'm glad you found your family. Seen any others?"

"Just me, Gwen and my son-from-the-future Devlin. It's a little complex on that one, but he's adopted. And from the future too." added Ben, just to be thorough.
appletastic: (Applejack squints at this post)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-07-02 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
"So...wait. You adopted a son in the future, and now he's here? How in the hay---I guess time makes just as much sense as anything else here: none at all."

Oh, this was going to give her a headache.

"Yeah, Professor Paradox often quoted it as 'Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey Stuff'. I guess it's a good explanation for anything. He's a time traveler and all." Ben shrugged.
appletastic: (Aww shoot)

[personal profile] appletastic 2011-07-02 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Wobbly's right," Applejack huffed. "But I guess it don't matter so long as y'all are happy, right?"

[identity profile] bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
"That's true. Family's family no matter when they're from. And making new friends here always helps," added Ben.

"That it will, I'm sure of it," Applejack agreed, a little smile on her face. "So make sure you swing by the farm! I'll have something for ya."

[identity profile] bears-omnitrix.livejournal.com 2011-07-02 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds great. I'll do that! And get you a seedling from the Mana tree so your stuff'll grow better." said Ben.
appletastic: (^.^ And that's how it's done)

"Fantastic. I'll holler when I see you again, okay?"

This could be a wonderful start. Well...as wonderful as it got in this situation.

"Got it. See you again Applejack." Ben grinned and headed off, pleased he made a new friend.
