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!]

Rex's growling stops once the hat's removed. He sits once more, content as if nothing ever happened.

Veronica notices the fact that Elle knew why Rex would be growling - and how to act on it. Given that she called them by name, though, that seems...viable. The question is, though, who is this Elle, and just how does she know them?

The way she answered and that hesitation make Veronica a bit hesitant to answer herself. "...I'm afraid that name doesn't ring a bell," she answers, rather obviously not excited about being the bearer of possibly-bad news.

The bottom of Elle's stomach drops.

"But -- " Her voice speaks without her telling it to. She manages not to reach for her companions. "But... We traveled... and you..."

Elle can remember it clearly. Veronica and Rex at her back before she pushed open the doors of the Lucky 38 as she left for the first time in days. Veronica and Cass, not letting her leave the presidential suite's kitchen until she tells them about happened with Benny. Something blocks her throat, and though she works her mouth, no sound comes out.

What's going on? How... Why...

"The ship...?"

That has to be it. Something to do with the ship. It's the only answer she can think of. And now that the gears in her mind are working, she can find her voice again. Now, she should be able to explain things better.

"We met at the 188 Trading Post. Does that help any?"

Between this woman's expressions and how she's wording things... Whoever this Elle is, apparently Veronica was important to her, given these reactions.

And it's probably best to not mention that she'd done some traveling with a woman named Gina, not Elle.

"Ah...w-well. I haven't been back to the trading post in a long time. Was pretty busy before I woke up here, but...I guess after everything wrapped up, I probably would've gone back there..." Hmn. Maybe this girl was from her future? After all, High Elder Maxson was here. Her and Christine were from his future, so it'd make sense that someone else could be from theirs.

"...do you know what the situation at Hoover Dam was before you left? Or if Ceasar's still alive?"

"Hoover Dam?" What kind of a question is that? "Nothing's really happened that I've heard, not since the NCR beat the Legion back. Caesar's definitely alive, he just sent me his Mark. I haven't seen him myself, but Mr. House wants me to go to the Fort, anyway, and -- "

... ah...

"Wanted, I guess I should say, huh?"

Her expression falls for a moment. It's all... gone. Though, if she was saved, she's sure Mr. House was, too, and probably Caesar, too, now that she thinks about it. Still, this is the first time it's truly striking home that it's all gone. It's gone, and she doesn't know who of the people she's met has been saved. Her chest aches.

...okay, definitely not the future. That stuff happened...shortly after she met Gina.

Veronica's quiet, mulling this over in her head. It's rather confusing to say the least.

"...I'm gonna take a shot in the dark here, and guess that you're a courier."

Elle nods. Then, hesitantly, quietly, eyes low, she says, "You really don't know me, do you?"

Ouch, right in the gut.

"I'm afraid not. I'm sorry..." she answers, just as quietly.

A few moments of awkward silence pass before she speaks up again. "...that could be changed, though."

"I..." She takes in a deep breath and exhales softly. "I would like that. If that's something you'd want."
snarkingscribe: (Might be smiling.)

[personal profile] snarkingscribe 2012-04-24 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I brought it up, so yeah - that'd be something I'd want." She smiles a little, and reaches over to try and pat Elle on the shoulder.

"Welcome aboard. Fair warning, though - the crazy shit at home doesn't have anything on the stuff here."

Elle attempts a smile back. "Considering the universe is being destroyed by time-traveling alien bugs? I figure it's part of the job description."

She squats down next to pet Rex. "Hey, what do you think? Do you wanna be friends, too?"

Well... She's still not entirely sure what to make of this. It still hurts, but. At least Veronica and Rex are here, alive. They were saved. And even if they have to start over... Elle's not really alone. (Right? There's some part of her that doubts this, but she tries to fight it back.)

Thankfully for Elle, Rex would be easier to get to know again. He barks once, and happily receives the pettings with his tail a-swishing.

"Yeah. I haven't seen them first-hand yet myself, but I get the feeling that they're gonna put our big bugs back home to shame."
