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.]
greeedycat: (gives me the shivers just thinking about)

"Nice thought~" If only she knew, hah. But now wasn't the time for irony- this woman seemed pretty genuine, and had stood her ground without approaching. Maybe he could at least toe the waters a bit?

"...I'd like to think I'm safe, but~ Considering I've already got someone out for my blood, we'll see how long that lasts." The bitter tone was painfully honest. He wouldn't be surprised if the damn bird greeed 'killed' him in his sleep.

"Well, thankfully, the ship tends to protect us when someone's out to kill us. She's been fairly successful, in the past." Too successful, in Eva's mind. Killing Edriss had been a chore and the botched attempt to kill Iniss is a stain on her son's mind. "You might want to alert others, though, in case an incident arises."
greeedycat: (uhhhhhhhhhhh)

...an admittedly intriguing response. Humans were always finding new ways to make him curious, it seemed. Cazali shifted, purposefully opening up his body language a bit, and tilted the brim of his trucker hat out of his face.

"An incident already happened, actually~ I'm surprised this 'ship' didn't intervene, then." Sadly, his face waivered back to aloof concern. "...does this place have cops, or should I break the leg off a table?" Sarcasm just came so naturally, it was hard to write out of his speech even when he was worried.

"We've recently altered the programming so she only interferes when someone's life is seriously at stake, and unfortunately, she does have blind spots. But we didn't like that she tortured people for getting into too many minor scuffles," she says, delivering the information about torture the same way she would about how inconvenient it is to be raining.

She grins, rather pleased by the use of sarcasm. Good, she could always use more people to banter with. "We do have a security division. And come on, now. You're surrounded by aliens and superheroes, and you're only going to break one leg off the table?"
greeedycat: (hmmmm?~?~?~?~?~)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-02 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Torture wasn't something Cazali knew to be wary of- unless it was, like, someone tapping his core medal against something. Even still, he didn't react until an awkward moment after, seeming to latch on to something far more interesting. "The ship's programming can be altered...?" Curiosity, more than intent. "Huh~ I've always been interested in that sort of thing." Well, mostly true. True enough.

...man, he missed his tentacle dreads. If only this damn ship could have saved his other eight medals, then... "I only have two arms, and I need at least one to to hold my hat on, right~?" Caz patted the top of his hat as indication, relaxing back and pulling at the corners of his drape. "Besides~ I have options. Why take the fight to them if there's a security division?" A mock-sigh, and he dropped his fidgeting to pantomime some vague attempt at overdramatics. "After all, I have so much to live for~"

"Hmm. I've never had much of a mind for electronics, but I know Neuropathy's been working on that sort of thing." The way he gets curious tips off an alarm bell in her head, but she figures Neuropathy probably vets their applicants. "You could ask them about work there."

She laughs. "You just have the end of your universe to live for. Aren't you excited?"
greeedycat: (i love my hat)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-03 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, not so much that itself~ But a ship having enough personality...? You could say I enjoy a bit of psychology~" He wasn't about to admit he didn't know what the hell a 'neuropathy' was. "I used to help Doctor out with his-" The words were out of his mouth before Caz could reign them in, and he abruptly scowled, tossing his head to the left. Maybe if he pretended that never happened, she'd ignore it. He didn't know how the hell humans handled that sort of thing.

"Well~ I was at the end of my life in my universe, so the rest of this is sort of a bonus...~" The sigh was implied, and he made a wristflop gesture with his hand. "I'm pretty good at adapting, at least~"

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Doctor?" She picks at her lip. "We have a The Doctor aboard the ship. I'm not sure if that's whom you're looking for, though."

She makes a wristflop gesture of her own. "Then you'll fit right in. I'm not eager to return to my world either."
greeedycat: (am i seriously considering this?)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-03 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
...he almost felt better about the spat with Ankh in the pods. Huh. "...I don't think so. Doctor isn't exactly the most sociable guy~ Usually just holed up in his lab, work comes first, you know the sort~" Or, he could assume. However, his face lost some of that sunshine, and he furrowed his brows. "Is there any way to look up people that might be on the ship? You never know~ He could be hiding on me."

If Dr. Maki was on the damn flying sack of organs, then Cazali was probably just going to rip his own core out and give up on physical sentience.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Doesn't sound like our Doc at all. He's more of the flighty, whimsical type, always poking his nose around." She shakes her head. "Not really. Nothing reliable, at least. If someone wants to hide, it's the easiest thing in the world here."
greeedycat: (wondering why you're retarded)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-03 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope. My Doctor is always carrying around this damn doll?~ Sort of like a...need, I guess. So unless they podded him with that thing, you'd know he was here from all the screaming." Seriously, that thing was pretty creepy.

...bad news. No, really bad news. Short of the sarcastic scenario- OOOs could be here. Or the other Greeed, aside from Ankh. Oh, and Birth or whatever. The furrow in his brows just deepened. "...good to know, in case I have to do it myself." Damnit. Caz curled his legs back in again, setting his jaw. There had to be a way- maybe he could bait them, or...

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-03 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
"That sounds vaguely codependent," she says, with just the slightest hint of a frown. "I wouldn't recommend going into hiding, but I'm boring that way. I like being able to be in broad daylight."
greeedycat: (yeah doc's a bit of a weirdo i know)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-03 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeaaah, the Doctor has a few problems, but...ah, it's old news now, I guess~" Translation- he clearly didn't want to talk about it.

"...I've never really had the chance to be in 'broad daylight' for too long." The longer this conversation went on, the more bitter he seemed to grow. "Ah~ But nobody cares about that stuff, right?~ Have to make due!"

First stop after this meet and greet stuff- try and find whatever sort of science departments existed. Lurk forever.

She shrugs. To each their own. It's not as if she's been eager to spill her whole history all over every first person she meets. "Oh, are you some kind of vampire?"
greeedycat: (is that like being stupid?)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-03 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"...vampire?"

From the look, he has no clue what the hell that is.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"It was a joke. Since you haven't seen much daylight?"
greeedycat: (uhhhhhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-04 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, calm down Cazali. Vampire = thing that does not get much daylight. Not a big deal, just more...weird human slang.

"...I guess I'm more on edge than I thought~ Sorry." He did his very damnedest to not slurr that apology, in the spirit of not irritating the woman.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
She nods and smiles. "A little culture clash is to be expected, with this many different people and backgrounds. Don't worry about it."
greeedycat: (serious wondering)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-05 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Another drawn-out sigh, and Cazali finally did something he hadn't done to a human in a damn long time. He gave them a straight answer.

"I hate not knowing things." What possessed the bald honesty, he couldn't place, but damn did it feel good for once.

[identity profile] vissernone.livejournal.com 2011-10-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Eva hopes he doesn't hate getting laughed at too, because that's what she does.

"Oh, then you're in for a rough ride, compadre."
greeedycat: (the best face)

[personal profile] greeedycat 2011-10-05 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
For her troubles, she earned what was possibly his most ridiculous face. He...doesn't know how else to react to being laughed at.
