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.]

Jake listened. As much as he hated to think about it, Marco was right. They were alone in alien territory (which wasn't quite that far removed from their old situation), against insurmountable odds. They needed patience. A calm head. He needed to reign himself in.

He brushed a hand through his hair with a sigh. "Yeah. You're right. Just fill me in later, alright? I want to know what we're dealing with. I just... I'm tired of being jerked around all the time. And it's good to see you again."

He paused.

"...even if you are a bit shorter than I remember."

"What's that Jake? Sorry, I couldn't hear you. I was too busy being struck by how old you are," Marco said, completely ignoring the fact that he'd been nineteen himself not that long ago in favour of making fun of Jake. "You know I think you're even getting some wrinkles. Any moment now you'll start playing bingo and complaining about the kids these days."

"Bingo? Really? You think I'd play bingo? That hurts, Marco."

This he could deal with. It was almost like being back home again. Except for the living ship and the really weird statue in the corner.

"What else are you going to do in your old age?" Marco teased. "Play lawn bowls? Backgammon? Start a stamp collection?"

"Shake my cane at people and tell stories about what life was like back when we din't live in giant ships made of meat," Jake quipped in response. This was familiar and it helped him calm down a bit. At least his best friend was here.

Jake, you didn't know how much Marco had missed having his best friend around. It just wasn't the same without him there to make fun of.

Not to mention he and Rachel tended to butt heads even more than usual when Jake wasn't there.

"Ah, yes. The good old days, when we lived in a valley surrounded by walking salad shooters instead."
