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 would actually be an awesome name.

"Japan, huh?" Jr.'d met a few people from there ... he wondered if Atom would wind up recognizing any of them. "Not everyone comes up here when new people wake up. You might see someone you know, yet."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-01 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
He nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. But maybe it's best if they stay asleep anyway. I mean, it sounds like it's really dangerous out here. I wouldn't want them to get hurt or anything..."

"Hey, they'd probably think the same thing about you."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Atom gave Jr. a complicated smile. "Yeah, I'm sure you're right. My family worries about me a lot."

"Anyway, what about you?"

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Me? I guess I know what you mean. But all of my friends would probably think the same thing if they were here instead of me, and I know I wouldn't want them to do it all alone. But none of'em are awake here yet, either."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
His gaze looked a little distant. "You have some good friends, huh? I hope you get to meet them again someday."

Then he seemed to recover, brightening a little. "So what do you do on the ship? It doesn't look like anyone's fighting right now."

"Hey, same for your family." Jr. was the big kid here - definitely less frightened than kids who actually were the age he looked. It did worry him a little that he just felt this numb feeling in the pit of his stomach every time he thought about it. They could all be dead right now. If he could save them ... on the other hand, if not, the idea of him living while his friends all died. It would be a sick irony repeating itself yet again.

"We're sort of on down time right now," he answered, not skipping a beat and keeping his expression steady. "But here? I'm part of Security. We've kind of got a while structure set up."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, Jr., you are the big kid. D'aww.

Atom was not a stranger to losing close friends; many of his own had died over the years, but he was still expected to keep going. Even more so now, after the events that had occurred in Thracia's national park...

He gave Jr. a curious look. "Security? What's that?"

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He prefers the term fun-sized adult. Okay not really.

"You know, like security guards! Or cops," he explained, patting one of his holsters that had a gun resting comfortably within it. "We just make sure nothing bad happens between the people on the ship while we're doing this."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, Jr., you were pretty cool. Like in the movies.

"So you protect the people here?" Atom thought about that for a second. "Can I join?"

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
He did certainly aim to be like the badasses in the movies.

"I guess you can say that. When it comes to the Ohm, we all protect each other. But when we're not fighting or anything, we just try to make sure that disputes that crop up don't get out of hand."

The question got a blink and a cock of the head from Jr. "Can ... join?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. Can I join Security, too? I want to help protect everybody. And I can help stop arguments!"

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Was this kid a kid. Why would a kid want to join Security unless it was a vision of grandeur. Let's word this gently, Jr., because one thing you hate yourself is when people call you a kid when you're clearly not.

"I uh. I mean, do you really wanna join something like that? It can get pretty sticky sometimes! Um, do you think you have any experience with that kind of thing? You know. Weapons. Using force. Whatever."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
At that question, Atom frowned a little, looking away. "I don't want to hurt people, and I don't want them to get hurt. That's why I want to join. Besides, I'm pretty tough. And they let you in, so why can't I do it, too?"

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm ... different, that's why!" he admitted, while at the same time not admitting to much. "Like, seriously different. And used to that kind of stuff, I did it a lot at home."

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Atom frowned at him. "I'm different, too."

It wasn't like he couldn't protect people outside of some special organization, but he couldn't see why they wouldn't let him in if they accepted Jr. Now, if they hadn't accepted Jr., Atom would have assumed it was just human prejudice, assuming that if someone looked young, it meant they must need to be protected or coddled.

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh. Different like, what, you're not really a kid or something?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Atom gave Jr. (who was shorter than him so that icon was totally accurate) a considering look.

"I guess you could say that."

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
And that was the funny thing about kids who weren't actually kids putting on a kid act.

"Oh, you're not?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-02 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it wasn't like it was a secret, exactly. Atom crossed his arms. "I'm a robot."

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"A robot?" Maybe he was like KOS-MOS, then. Or MOMO. Jr. wondered what exactly he was made for if he were more like KOS-MOS.

"What do you do?"

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm. Atom didn't want to be too specific here. Otherwise people might start treating him like a weapon. "Well, you know. Robot stuff. Like flying and I'm pretty strong."

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Jr. let out a small laugh. "Robot stuff, huh? That could mean anything! Flying is a pretty cool perk, though." The only way Jr. got to fly was in the cockpit of his mech. "And you're strong? Does that mean you fight and stuff?"

It would make sense, considering Stacy and all.

[identity profile] tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah," said Atom, crossing his arms. "But it's best to resolve things peacefully. Then you don't have to fight at all."

[identity profile] carrieswar.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't it be nice if the world was like that? But Jr. wasn't about to put that thought forward. Not worded like that, at least.

"I think we all agree there. ... so you're probably not thrilled with this place so far, huh."
