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.]

"Man, this place sounds more and more like--" and then the realization hit him... "Eh?! Why do I need to go back to studying here?!!!" Oh... those realizations...

"We are from the 21st century," he replied, eyebrows drawn in thought.

So the 'ship' they were inside at the moment wasn't just a mechanical structure with advanced AI...it was an actual being. This only served to make things more complicated (not that they weren't already impossibly so at the moment). Moreover, it also spoke to them in their mind. The prospect of someone or something having access to his thoughts whenever it pleased was bothersome.

"Stacy. Does it use telepathy at all times to keep track of the crew, or only in certain situations like this?"

He was just going to ignore your outburst for a bit, Rin.

Zouichi shrugged. "Supposedly, there are areas in which it can't monitor what you're doing... but who really knows for sure? The people on board working on the ship still haven't managed to purge it of its 'warden' personality. ...Planning to do something under the radar?"

He glanced back at Rin. "You remind me of a friend of mine. I tried telling him he should attend class, but..."

"Oy! Don't ignore me spotty four eyes!" Rin grabbed his brother by the collar and brought him over to him.

"Are we really going to be studying here?! Wait... does that mean we'll be here for a while?"

Okay, that doesn't make any sense to him now...

He glanced over to Zouichi and wondered if he was like Yukio. He certainly seemed serious enough... He REAAAALLY hopes that won't be the case.

"Don't call me that," Yukio snapped back, though the other things he had to say were interrupted when his body was jerked towards Rin. He knew his brother was too strong for him to realistically pull himself away from, so he waited patiently until he was released, then regarded the shorter twin with a glowering look.

"Yes, yes we are. Despite our stay here, if you still plan to take that exorcist exam, you'll need to continue studying and training your swordsmanship. You know what will happen if you fail." He was well aware of it, too and the prospect was terrifying.

Once dealing with Rin's bit of childishness was out of the way, Yukio turned back to Zoichi and smiled reassuringly. "No, I don't plan to; I was curious is all. Thank you for the information."

"No problem." He glanced between Rin and Yukio curiously. Their personalities were... well, pretty different.

"You'll probably be here either until you're repodded or the war is won. Of course, I guess there's also the option of leaving the ship during the next shore leave, but you may not be able to get back home again."

...

......

Rin turned towards Zouichi and looked at him confused.

"War?" was he involved in the war against Gehenna? Or was there a war he wasn't aware about?

"Yes, that's why we're here," he carefully said, eyes sliding to the side to meet his brother's. "To assist in a war, nii-san--one far more dire than that of Assiah because it involves far more people. That is why you must continue your studies."

This whole situation felt like a ticking time-bomb...how long was he going to be able to keep most of the truth from Rin? He'd needed to figure something out, and soon if they planned to keep things under wrap.

Zouichi regarded Yukio with some curiosity and a small measure of concern. This guy wasn't trying to conceal the whole war thing from Rin, was he? Even if he went around trying to shadow Rin at all times, trying to protect him from the knowledge, what was he going to do when giant alien bugs started barreling through the ship, firing on all cylinders?

"Yeah, I guess you could say that. They're called the Ohm, and they're an insectoid alien species. If you can't fight, I'd recommend trying to avoid them if you can."

"Wait, so there's more demons? Now bug demon alien th--...."

Well Rin didn't want to look stupid by asking MORE questions! He clenched his fist and nodded, big grin on his face!

"It doesn't matter if there's more, I'll continue training and beat them all! Aha!"

No, he wasn't, not really. He just thought that explaining that their world had been destroyed so suddenly was a bad idea. Considering how Rin lost it during his fight with Amaimon when it involved his friends being injured, one could only imagine how bad retelling this bit of information would go.

He planned to get around to it...sooner than later.

"Don't get cocky, nii-san," Yukio said, crossing his arms. "You haven't even seen what we face yet, so it's reckless to say such things."
