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.]

That subtle gesture was appreciated, not that he was going to mention it.

"Yeah, same Gandri." He took her hand, a little tentatively because he could still kind of see through it and it was weird and freaky, and offered her new nick-name (or until he thought of a different one, which was entirely likely).

"So long as you don't try to kill me I won't haveta' return the favor, and we'll get along just peachy."

"I don't kill anyone," she answered back. "...well unless you're a space pirate, or someone I've got a bounty to hunt for. But you're neither of these." And now she also has your DNA. She'd use that for later. It was more fun that way.

"So. Hand accident?"

Space Pirate. Bounty hunter? Jeez, what the hell did he get himself into this time? He took his hand back so he could absently rub and sort of hide the missing one. He had gotten pretty used to that gauntlet he built for himself, and felt pretty naked without it now. Hands were, you know, handy to have.

"Yeah... somethin' like that." His discomfort was easy to see. "Hand got possessed so I had to lop it off a the wrist. Long story." A long and crazy story that Ash would be more than happy to tell.

But first, he didn't want to get on the bad side of the Space Fuzz. "You... bounty hunt? Is that right?"

"Didn't know humans could get possessed hands. Gandrayda you got your entire body was possessed." she mused somewhat musically. "And yes I hunt for bounties. Having a healthy amount of credits is a nice offset, but honestly I mostly do it for fun. Granted since I'm here, I don't really have access to any of my credits..." Speaking of which. "Has anyone told you about the Armory yet? Or given you a tour around?"

[identity profile] hates-deadites.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
Right. He really was on some Star Trek set, he had to keep reminding himself of that. "So you're stuck here in the loony bin with the rest of us, huh? I guess they don't really let anyone out on good behavior."

NOT THAT ASH WAS EVER WELL-BEHAVED, but he so mused aloud anyway. "Armory?"

That gave him a bit of hope. There was mentioned weapons and possessions... maybe his clothes and weapons were there.

"No, no tours yet, sister. You offerin'?" Ash offered a smile in hopes that was a 'yes'.

"Well I suppose I might have some time for it, sure." She grinned at him and mentioned him to follow her, as she led him out of the mesh of people into the corridors of the ship.

"The armory isn't that far off, actually."

Ash obliged and followed obediently, letting his eyes wander around the scenery yet again. Everything was just so... meaty.

"So is this place stockpiled with weapons to fight off these bad aliens? Guns? Bazookas? Fancy high-tech laser beams?"

[identity profile] shapeshiftqueen.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
"We've got a lot of them, but the ones that don't belong to sleeping crewmates are stockpiled in places where they can't be abused too much," she explained. "We've also got a hanger where a lot of the spaceships and giant robots are stored."

[identity profile] hates-deadites.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Figures." He replied. "We ever get to take any of those out to play or are they just here for Stacy to collect like matchbox cars?"

[identity profile] shapeshiftqueen.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh don't worry worry dearie, everyone gets to punch aliens in the face at least once on this ship. Especially if you have the strength to do so. We've got a few diplomats and children with us, after all."

[identity profile] hates-deadites.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
At least that was sounding a little promising.

"Yeah, that's right." He flexed said strength a little. "Stacy picked the right guy--except that doesn't change the fact I sure as hell don't want to be here. Hasn't anyone invented time travel by now?"

He paused.

"...Time travel that doesn't involve demon books."

"Well let's look at it this way," Gandrayda offered. "If we did have access to this technology, I don't doubt that many of us would be turning back time to save this multiverse from the Ohm before they had a chance to be a nuisance. So no."

A careful pause.

"Although we do have a demonic book on board...."

[identity profile] hates-deadites.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Ash tried not to pale.

"...Where is it?"

[identity profile] shapeshiftqueen.livejournal.com 2011-10-06 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh trust me, you'll know where he is once you meet him. Quite a mouthful, that guy. But right now, he's probably skipping the poddrop and hanging out with that girl of his, if this (http://trans-channel.livejournal.com/389507.html)," she showed him the message on the omnicrom, "is any indication. Tsk tsk. Having fun while everyone else is waking up..."

Ash leaned over to get a better look at the little device she was offering to show, and the messages it contained. He skimmed over most of it, but definitely saw words like 'demon' (multiple times!) and 'overlord'. As bad as he was with names, it made it a point to re-read those attention-grabbing keywords and note the names of interest; Zetta. Lash.

Great, they gave it a name.

"Gandri, you gotta' take me the armory, or wherever my stuff is, pronto."
