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. They are also told they must read information about their current situation and a survival guide with their new omnicom. New crew-mates might see a tall dragonish guy with wings (but don't call him that) and purple 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.]

Beastboy wagged his tail then shifted back with a big goofy grin, "Well, not as alone as it feels dude. We're all in this together right?" He wiggled his ears ready to drink in the shock and surprise that his shifting usually formed.

Okay. It was a NEXT dog. Either that or Kotetsu had just completely snapped.

"... ... ..."

"I'm going to go get a drink."

Beastboy burst out laughing "Dude that NEVER gets old." he sprang to his feet and stuck out a hand proudly, "The name's Beastboy, nice to meet you dude and welcome to the party at the end of the multiverse!"

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
"La la la la, I can't hear you, I'm looking for a drink!" Kotetsu replied irritably, glancing back over his shoulder.

"Or... or maybe I drank too much? That must be it, I must be drunk right now and this is all some really bad dream because I was watching alien monster movies again."

Beastboy rolled his eyes and turned into a snake shooting between Kotetsu's legs to appear in front of him. "Easy dude easy." He held up his hands trying to keep the older man calm. "Drinking away your worries ain't gonna help, but if you really have to I can help you find the liquid distraction."

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
"Who says it won't help? Maybe it will magically wake me up right back in Hero Bar where I left off!"

Kotetsu folded his arms at the green boy, giving him a discerning glance. "So you are a NEXT, aren't you? I haven't seen the animal thing before."

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
"A NEXT?" He rubbed the back of his head unsure, "Never heard of a NEXT but I guess I'm what you would call a Super Hero ya know? Fight crime, save lives, get the girl."

Though he hadn't been close to a girl in a long while, not since the prom anyway. Maybe his best heroic smile would persuade this newbie?

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. A NEXT. People with powers," Kotetsu explained, scratching the back of his head. So this guy was a Hero too, huh... Beastboy, was it? He supposed the animal transformations would probably be good for merchandising. They could sell dolls of him in any shape. Slap a green panda on the shelf and call it Beastboy.

Hm. Maybe he should tell Origami Cyclone about this, the next time he sees him.

"Yeah, I know about Heroes," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "I've... you know, just heard a few things about them here or there..."

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
You have NO idea how hard it is to find Beastboy merch Beastboy felt encouraged by this. "So you guys call people with powers NEXT in your world? Neat!" He began to lead the way through the crowd. "What does NEXT stand for? We just kind of go with "Metas" for "Metahuman."

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
"It... uh. Well. I actually don't think it stands for anything. We're just called NEXT because we're like the 'next' version of humans, or... something like that."

Kotetsu suddenly caught himself mid-sentence... only at the end of his sentence. "Er- did I say we? I meant them! THEY. NEXT, I mean! Not me!"

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Beastboy blinked, luckily for Kotetsu he was pretty slow on the uptake. "You don't say? Well that's too bad for you dude. I mean, there are plenty of people here without powers, but it sure makes surviving easier. These OHM dudes are really big bads. I mean you can learn to fight in like, a giant robot suit or something but...yeah." He shrugged as if he was already writing off Kootetsu as Killed In Action.

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Kotetsu frowned, folding his arms over his chest. "Isn't it a Hero's job to protect those who can't protect themselves?" he said irritably. "They shouldn't have to be 'surviving' if Heroes do their jobs."

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
"There's only so many of us dude." Though he couldn't help but feel guilty. "And it's not like we're untouchable. One of the greatest heroes from my world just...well he died to save us all not too long ago." He hung his head muttering, "Never thought it could happen, dude was a total legend. But he did what any one of us should be able to do."

Whoa, when did it get so dark in this corner of the meet and greet?

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
He frowned a little deeper, biting his lip. How grim were things here, exactly?

"Hey. Is there a little girl on this ship?" he asked, quite suddenly and out of nowhere. "She's, uh... she's 10, and about this tall... or maybe this tall. She was about here when I last saw her. Brown hair and brown eyes?" He moved his hands to try to indicate the correct height, then frowned worriedly as he waited for his answer.

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh!" Beastboy instantly perked up and looked around, "well uh, there's not alot of kids, but is she related to You? If I get a whiff of our scent and she's around here I could probably track her down!" He was eager to help and move away from the more depressing topic. Plus if he could prove himself heroic even in just a little way he was game.

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
Kotetsu's eyes lit up at the possibility. "Y-yeah! She's my daughter! Her name is Kaede Kaburagi! If she's here, I need to find her right away! Poor little Kaede, she's probably terrified... Daddy's coming, baby!"

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Beastboy shifted into the form of a bloodhound and began sniffing Kotetsu's hand vigorously memorizing the scent. A few sniffs in the air and he began trotting around the area seeking the girl in question.

Thousands of scents swirled about him like the colors of a painting (which considering dogs are colorblind was an interesting thought) People he knew, people he didn't, food, in some cases even emotions.

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
"Kaede! KAEDE! KAAAAEEEEDEEEEEE! DADDY'S HERE, KAEDE! JUST RAISE YOUR HAND FOR DADDY!"

If the bloodhound didn't clear a path in the people around the obs deck, Kotetsu's loud screaming certainly would.

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
It took a good long time, but Beastboy finally fell to the ground panting, his tongue flopped out onto the floor. Shifting back to human form he looked up at Kotetsu apologetically, "Sorry dude, looks like she's still in the pods. Not done yet."

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
"No..."

Kotetsu's expression had been steadily sinking as there was no sign of Kaede, nor anyone else he knew yet. He frowned sharply, gritting his teeth together and shaking his head.

"She's really still stuck in those nasty goo pods? Oh, Kaede..."

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey." Beastboy sprang to his feet still catching his breath, currently a darker shade of green then normal.

"Look at it this way dude, she's in the safest place in Stacy. And we're out here on the front lines keeping the big bad bugs from getting in. Soon enough we'll have our worlds back." He put a gloved hand on Kotetsu's shoulder, "And her Daddy will be the big hero who made it all happen. Powers or none."

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe," Kotetsu replied, a little uncharacteristically bitter. Beastboy had a point, at least, that she was safe... but it was still awful to think about her stuck in that horrible pod. Even if she was unaware and peacefully asleep like he had been, what if she got scared? What if something happened?

He folded his arms over his chest and sighed. "She doesn't even know I'm a Hero. She'll probably think it was Bunny who did it. But, as long as she's really safe..."

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Bunny?" Beastboy asked shifting into the shape of an adorable bunny rabbit wiggling his nose and whiskers.

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
"No, not that kind of bunny... my partner, Bunny. Barnaby, really. He's blond, kind of girly-looking, more than likely being aloof and cranky? Have you seen him, at least?"

[identity profile] changelingdude.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
He shifted back and shook his head, "We've got some girly-looking men, but I don't remember a Barnaby." He frowned disappointing again. "Dude I didn't even see that one guy who usually brings beer to pod pops." He had been hoping to treat Kot to at least one.
