Meet and Greet

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicomms and comm rings. They are also told they must read information about their current situation and a survival guide with their new omnicomm. New crewmates might see a tall dragonish guy with wings (but don't call him that), a large afro attached to a smaller girl, and talking ponies 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. But thankfully this time, there's a system that was set up to aid the new crew members with a few more experienced ones.

[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. Big brother/sister, there will be a thread for you as well!]

"Whoa now, sugar. I wasn't offerin' a ride just yet," Applejack backed up a step, though she didn't sound unkind. Just disoriented.

"But anyways, yes. I'm a pony. Name's Applejack, actually. What's yours?"
yourbelovedfuture: (Hee~ Adorbs!)

"Awww, but it looked like so much fun! Specially if I get to wear a hat like yours!" she said excitedly before looking up ant tapping her chin in thought.

The few glances she had managed to get from looking at the t.v. from inside the card had shown her bits and pieces of some westerns.

At the sound of the name she smiled, "That's a neat name, I like it! I'm Mashu."
appletastic: (Cool)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-09 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Well howdy-do, Mashu!" Applejack said, delighted. She extended her hoof politely.

"I reckon you might find a hat somewhere. How about asking my friend Rarity? She makes all kinds of clothes."
yourbelovedfuture: (Happy!windswept)

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-09 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Mashu shook her hoof for far longer than needed with a pretty excited face before letting go. Hooves! Who would have thought?!

She smiled at the prospect and nodded, "Really? That'd be pretty neat!"
appletastic: (Lemme think)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-10 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure thing! Just head on down to Stormwind Clothiers and she'll set you right up. She'll even make sure you get a color that works for ya."

Applejack smiled fondly at the thought. Oh, Rarity. She was so kind, yet so fussy.

"As for me? I run a little fruit orchard. I grow apples and make apple treats when I've got enough of 'em."
yourbelovedfuture: (What's this?!(Curious))

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-10 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
Mashu did a little cheer and looked positively ecstatic!

At the latter comment she leaned down closer and looked curiously at Applejack, "What's an apple? And fruit orchards?"
appletastic: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-11 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't know?" Applejack looked a little startled. "This is an apple! A mark of one, anyway."

She turned to the side, presenting her flank---where three little red marks in a distinct shape stood out in the orange hairs.

"Apples are a kind of fruit. Fruits are these sweet plants you eat, and orchards are groups of trees where they grow! You've gotta have one while you're here!" she insisted, wishing she'd brought one in her saddlebag.

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-11 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"You eat them?!" Maybe they were like the noodles she had?! If so, then they must be tasty!

Watch out Applejack, someone didn't understand the part where you said it was a 'mark' of an apple and is looking to take a small bite of your flank!
appletastic: (Uh oh!)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-14 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Applejack yelped. No, that wasn't an apple! She twisted away from the girl and slipped to the floor in her haste not to buck her.

"Whoa now! That's no apple. It's a cutie mark---a picture of one. Real apples are bigger. Taste better too!" she huffed, breathless.

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-14 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Mashu moved back and made a weird face spitting out a bit and looking downright confused.

"Wait it's not? So it just looks like that then? Shoulda told me that before!" she exclaimed as if it should be common knowledge!
appletastic: (Squinty)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-15 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I tried!" Applejack yelped, flicking her tail to get things sorted. There. Her coat seemed all right.

"But anyways, you'll want a real one. It's round and juicy, sorta like..."

In all the swishing of her tail, one fell out of her backpack. There was something left after all!

"Like that."
yourbelovedfuture: (Happy!windswept)

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-15 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Mashu looked positively excited! She quickly picked up the apple and took a big bite out of it. And then another, and another until there was nothing left... Not even the core.

She made an assortment of faces; from really happy, to confused. "It tastes great!!! Except for the middle part, that ew, yuck. But the rest was good! So much different than noodles!"
appletastic: (No use waiting)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-16 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
"That's 'cause we don't eat the cores," Applejack added. She sure looked concerned for Mashu...and a little apprehensive. Swallowing cores could be nasty business.

"The cores have got little black seeds in 'em. We take them out so we can plant more apple trees."
yourbelovedfuture: (What's this?!(Curious))

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-16 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Mashu was now less concerned with the cores, or why they shouldn't eat them and more with these 'seeds'...

"You can make more?! Just by planting those icky things inside them?! That's amazing! How do you do it?"

Maybe someone could find a way to make money trees! That would be glorious!
appletastic: (Bucking)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-20 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Sure! It takes a lot of time and care, but you just dig a hole, put it in the dirt, and water it. Make sure it gets plenty of sunlight too. Eventually, a little tree will start to pop out of the dirt. Then it grows if you care for it, and a long time later you get a big ol' tree!"

The basics of gardening, Mashu. You'll have to be introduced to Hydroponics sometime.

"Want to come see some?
yourbelovedfuture: (What's this?!(Curious))

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-20 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Mashu looks as if you just explained the secrets of the world to her... positively ecstatic!

"I'd love to see!!! I didn't know all of that!!! It sounds amazing!"
appletastic: (Huggy)

[personal profile] appletastic 2012-04-22 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Then I'll bring you on by Hydroponics sometime! We've got more seeds than you can shake a stick at."

Applejack grinned, tipping her hat. "So I'll see you there sometime, yeah?"
yourbelovedfuture: (Happy!windswept)

[personal profile] yourbelovedfuture 2012-04-22 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds like a plan! I'll see ya around miss pony Applejack!"

And then Mashu was off to her little flight over the new and old crew to see what else she could explore.
