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.]

Karina plucked at her new skintight suit. She'd found her PDA in her possessions, along with her Blue Rose costume and the ridiculous (wonderful) towel Wild Tiger had given her a few days earlier, which had all been unceremoniously stuffed into her exercise bag.

There were a lot of weird people wandering around, and no one looked familiar. Karina held her chin high and hoped that her parents were safe somewhere.

"It's very unlikely you'll find who you're looking for."

This cold uncompromising fact was delivered by none other then Azula herself, fresh out of trying to deny the horrible events of visitation day had happened. Her unsteady gaze wasn't set on Karina at all even but seeming to look through her. "And even if they were, would that be a good thing?"

"Who said I was looking for anyone?" Karina replied and looked at the other girl. Well, someone looked a little crazy. And by a little, Karina was fairly sure someone was certifiable.

And the look Crazy Eyes was giving her made Karina a little bit wary.

Azula chuckled, and then laughed but it was a little too loud to be normal. "Everyone comes here looking for someone. Especially new people." And sorry Karina but you were so obviously new it could be written on your forehead.

"But few ever find who they're looking for. After all there's only so many pods."

She adjusted the bag on her shoulder, heavy with her costume. What was with this person? Did someone spit in her cereal this morning? "I never said I was looking for anyone, new or not. That's a rather rude assumption to make when I have obviously been minding my own business." Karina felt her temper flare up for a minute and worked it back down to something reasonable.

She certainly didn't have to take this from anyone.

Azula blinked surprised by the hostility and then smiled a crooked smile.

"Rude? Really? Are you that offended by the concept that you might be looking for a friend? Or some family? Or your lover?" The last word played on her lips like honey. "You've just been told your entire world has been destroyed and you are suddenly in some kind of living beast of technology and plantlife. You are surrounded by strangers, of coarse. Why would you be looking for anyone you knew? How rude of me."

"I'm offended by your assuming something that you have no business assuming. So, thanks. Bye." Karina turned and started to walk away through the crowd.

Seriously, the nerve of some people.

Zouichi noticed Karina plucking at her suit and stopped nearby. Yep, all the signs of someone who had been freshly popped.

"Hi," he said, walking up to her. "Are you all right? Do you need anything?"

[identity profile] super-celebrity.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm fine," Karina replied and looked around. "Just... looking around, I guess." She motioned to the omnicomm in her hand, "Is everything here so old-school? I haven't see green on black text since... well, ever."

"Unfortunately, that's just how they work. You can send images or sound files with them, but no augmented reality, no holographic interface..."

He paused. "It really depends on where and when the technology's from. Some people here are still swinging swords around. Others use mobile suits with neural interfaces."

"You mean like the toys Bandai sells?" Wow, had she walked into the Twilight Zone or what? Karina leaned back against the fleshy wall and raised her eye brows at Zouichi.

"...Bandai?" What was Bandai?

"I'm talking about Gundams and Variable Fighters and so on. You can go see them in the Hangar, if you want. There are some larger ships, too, like the Quarter."

[identity profile] super-celebrity.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bandai? The toy company?" It was only one of the biggest sponsors. (And, thankfully, not someone Karina had to answer to as Blue Rose. That was left to Wild Tiger and Barnaby's company.) Karina stopped picking at her plantsuit and put her hand on one hip. "I think I'll stick to walking around here, though. For now."

Zouichi shook his head. "Never heard of it. But I'm also from 31st century Earth, so that's fairly typical."

Huh. She sure seemed unconcerned with the whole world-being-destroyed thing. But he supposed everyone took it a little differently. He gave her a brief bow. "If you don't require any assistance, I'll be on my way. It was nice meeting you, miss."

Kotetsu had been wandering around blankly, kind of just staring at the wall, when suddenly he crashed into someone. "Oh! Hey hey hey, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to-"

And that's when he recognized her. "Hey! Blue Rose! Hiya!"

[identity profile] super-celebrity.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
For a moment, the look of shock on Karina's face prize-worthy. And then she got angry, "Watch where you're going! I mean, jeez!" She turned her head away, to hide the slight smile she could feel forming.

[identity profile] grrreathero.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it was definitely Blue Rose. Who else could possibly be that cranky?

"Hey, I said sorry," he whined, scratching his head. "It's nice to see you! Are you all right? All of this spaceship stuff is kind of freaky, you know..."

"Heya," the short, half breed girl greeted as she set down another batch of Omnicomms on the table, ready to get pass out to the new crew members.

She'd gotten used to all of this by now, the popping, even if she still wasn't happy around crowds, at least she focused on doing her job as part of the crew and helping out wherever she could, this time being part of the welcoming group that helped the new poppers get settled.

...That girl was green.

Karina stared for a moment in shock before replying, "H-hi."

[identity profile] ronnae.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Ronnae looked at her curiously, but she remembered that not everyone came from a world where people like her existed. She couldn't make up her mind as to whether that was good, or bad.

"You need any help?"
