Meat n' Greet

[cityship]

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.]

"I think I saw the people on command in the front of the room. They might be listed on these contraptions too."

Cedric knew that was true, and he was grateful that the others were also saying it. A shared burden was easier to bear. Teamwork would help them to win. "Right! So I'll be training. Keeping in shape, practicing defence...and whatever else I can do. So we'll find something?"

((It's fine, I saw your hiatus notice! I'm going slow these days too, don't worry.))

Alanna nodded, glancing in the direction that Cedric had indicated. That might well be her next stop. "Thank you. That helps."

The Lioness smiled, pleased that her companion seemed to have perked up a little at least. "And I'll do the same. We'll need to be at our best if we're to succeed." Still, she felt lost. As though she was wandering in unknown territory without any sense of direction and, in a sense, she was. What was expected of her? Where did her duty lie now with her homeland gone?

The Ohm. That was the supposedly the name of the enemy. The ones who had destroyed, not only her own world, but the worlds of all those around her, if what she'd been told was to be believed. They had to be stopped before they caused more damage. Even if her homeland no longer existed, she remained a knight of Tortall and she would do her duty to the best of her ability. That would never change. "We protect," she whispered firmly. "We stop the threat before it can spread further."

(OOC: Thank you. :) )

"Until the end," Cedric quietly swore beside her, clutching his wand through his sleeve.

It was what was owed, that was all. All of those people deserved the chance to finish their lives, to thrive and discover and learn. "So I suppose I'll see you out there? Wherever we're fighting?"

Alanna smiled at Cedric approvingly. His spirit was strong and that was a positive. "It'll be an honor to fight by your side," she told him, offering him a small bow. "And if you ever have any need of me, then come find me and I will do all that I can to help." An amused grin crossed her face. "You don't need to wait for a fight to come speak with me."

"You'll see me before then," he assured her with a wave. "Thank you, Alanna. I'm hoping for good luck to both of us in this."

"I look forward to it," Alanna smiled fondly at Cedric. "My thanks goes to you as well. I've enjoyed meeting you and I'll be hoping for the same."

"Goodbye, Cedric," she added. "I'll keep an eye out for you. Please stay safe."
