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.]

"Exactly." Jinx's smile was praise enough letting Maxine know she got the right message...or at least one of them.

"Think you can be brave enough to just let go every now and then and let fate lead you and luck brace you?"

Maxine did relax a little, now that it seemed that was okay. Still, it was kind of an uncomfortable conversation.

"I--I hope so," she said. "I'll do my best obviously, but I guess we'll have to see, right? But I'd like to think that I'll be able to be brave, no matter what that entails. That's what I'm supposed to do, too, right? Anyway, at least you have some luck powers, maybe you can help out." The last part is said as a sort of joke, smiling a little nervously.

"So long as I like you~" The pink haired girl teased with a mischievous wink "So far your odds are good."
windwitch: (awe)

Maxine flushed a little again, and tried for another smile. "I'm glad you do, then. I mean, I don't really know anyone else on the ship, so it's nice to know that there's someone, right?"

Jinx chuckled politely covering her mouth with her hand. "Of coarse. Humans are social creatures. And everyone needs someone." But there was a sort of confident victorious way she said it.
windwitch: (um...)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-09 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Maxine was a bit flustered, still, but she relaxed some. Jinx was being pretty nice, at least. And Maxine didn't know a lot about having friends-- she'd not had a lot until more recently in her life-- but it was a nice feeling. So she wasn't sure if what Jinx said should sound off or not. "Right! It's really hard when people don't have friends, it can be tough on people, for sure. It's always really nice to meet new people and all..."

Jinx leaned into the wall relaxing her posture, "You don't do alot of socializing just on your own I'm guessing? Always had a few people you could talk to?" Just guessing really, she was fishing for the truth.
windwitch: (awkward)

Maxine bit her lip a little, wondering how to reply. It was kind of a weird thing to talk about, but... "Well, not exactly, no. I mean, I was kind of a loner at school, I guess, though some of the professors seemed to like me well enough. But once I joined the JSA and then the All-Stars they were my friends, so it wasn't so bad."

Jinx waved a hand dismissively, "Work friends are one thing, but you should have friends from outside the "Community" you know? Mere mortals. that's what you hero types like right? To keep you grounded and from that whole god complex business?"
windwitch: (frowny face)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-10 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Maxine shifted. "Well, I don't think of them as 'mere mortals' or anything like that, and I don't think I have any complexes, but I guess it makes sense, at least for some heroes. I don't know though, I always thought that my hero friends did a lot for me, anyway, no matter what. And not all of them actually have superpowers, either. But I usually talked to people at school, too..." She trailed off. Usually talking to other students hadn't done much good.

Jinx chuckled in an almost condescending manner, "I've only known you for a few minutes Maxine and I can tell you've got a complex or two. It'll be interesting to see if you can figure out what they are though." Some people just lacked a skill in self reflection.
windwitch: (frowny face)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-11 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
Maxine flushed. "Oh. I guess maybe I do, I just try not to think about that kind of thing too much, you know? Or at least, I try to focus on the good stuff. That tends to be a lot nicer." She felt weird saying this, and she didn't really want to dwell on it. But she also didn't know what Jinx was referring too-- though Maxine knew she had some problems, at least.

"Not one for deep internal meditation huh?" Jinx teased. This girl was too easy.
windwitch: (hair tuck)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"I-I guess not," Maxine replied sheepishly. "I guess maybe I'm just kind of spur of the moment, most of the time."

[identity profile] badluckbabe.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
She purred "My favorite kind of person." After all someone who's constantly planning loves someone with no plans at all. It makes them easy to work around.
windwitch: (awe)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Maxine flushed a little again. "Well, I'm sure we'll get along, at least, right?"

[identity profile] badluckbabe.livejournal.com 2011-10-12 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"If you're lucky~" Was her coy response.
windwitch: (hair tuck)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Maxine let out the sound a little dumbly, then said, "I-I guess I should let you go then. Since I'm probably just sort of being annoying," she started, with a half-hearted joking tone. "I'm sure there're other people who need help more than me anyway..."

[identity profile] badluckbabe.livejournal.com 2011-10-13 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"You worry too much." She teased and waved a finger in an admonishing manner. "We'll just have to see what we can do about that now that you're here won't we?"
windwitch: (excitement)

[personal profile] windwitch 2011-10-13 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Maxine flushed. "Oh. I guess maybe I do sometimes. I try to be positive, though-- I'll just try harder, here, then." She brightened considerably as she said this, showing her willingness to put effort into it.
