Meet N' Greet

||Initiating Meet and Greet. Crew members, for the sake of morale, there will be periodic meetings on the Obs Deck so that newer members of the crew can be welcomed and so the crew can communicate with one another.||

Apparently, Stacy liked to throw a party now and again.

[ooc: Anyone may start new threads here]

Morale? Would it truly be so easy to raise it? Starfire had her doubts, but it was absolutely necessary to try.

She walked to her spot on the deck and waved a hand in greeting. "Hello, friends. I hope you are well."

Simon waves back, smiling a little. "Can't complain too much, I suppose - what about you?"

"I am...healthy. I was not heavily injured in the battle, and for that I am grateful."

She bites her lip. She's supposed to say more, right? What else could be said? "And you? You have returned to...normal?"

Simon nods. "That's good to hear. And about as normal as one can get around here," he answers.

"Gotta admit that it feels pretty weird, being free of those guys. Probably moreso for you guys that have been here longer."

"Yes, but not everything is free," Starfire argues. "I am glad we will not be punished. But...some things were happier then."

That drops a sudden solemn air on the conversation, and Simon nods. "That's true, too."

Maria waves, smiling slightly.

"Hey Starfire, looks like you fared better than I did in that last brawl. How are you doing?"

"I am well," Starfire smiled, striding over to Maria. She looked the girl over for injuries. "What happened to you?"

Maria shrugged a bit and tried to play off her few bandages.

"You don't get into a fight with anti armor troops without expecting a few bumps and bruises. I'll be fine in a few days. I just need to find a proper armored flight suit."

"Would it be in the armory? We can request one from the engineers if it is not available right now."

Starfire tried to restrain herself from fussing. It wouldn't do to work herself up unnecessarily.

"Really I just need to find the right materials. I have the specs on how to make the one I had back home but even with it a few bumps and bruises aren't unavoidable. But I'm stronger than I look.

She smiled a bit and put a hand on Star's shoulder.

"I've been doing this since I was able to walk, I'm ok, really."

"Of course! You'll build it yourself," Starfire nodded, relaxing slightly. Maria was a competent woman.

"We also began our training at a young age, but it had a very different focus. I must fight."

"Yeah. That's what Seibzehn and I do too. We fight. We fought. Home wasn't a very pretty place."

"This home is not very pretty either," Starfire says. "It is...interesting, but increasingly cruel. And yet it is our shelter."

"Hello, Starfire!" Anwei waved back and stepped through the (much smaller than normal) crowd. "I'm fine. How are you doing?"

Starfire steps closer to her. They're at a good conversation distance now. "I have recovered from our battle. Now I have to recover my powers before the next one."

Anwei ran one hand over the side of her face; most of the oil-grime had finally come off, but she still could remember the ache of overstressed muscles throughout her body.

"We certainly all went to the limit there, didn't we? But it was worth it. Hopefully we can choose our next battle, instead of being shoved into it with no preparation."

"Yes. We will relax, and then we will train. And it will be all right." It sounded hollower than before, but some part of her still believed in it.

"Have you enjoyed yourself at all?"

"I have, actually. I picked out a house for myself down in the City - you're welcome to come and visit. It's a sort of walled garden pattern, and I suppose the best way to find it is to fly and look for that. It's inbetween Le Prefecture and the transport tubes, outside the rail loop."

She smiled at Starfire, not missing the touch of hollowness to her voice. "I hope you have things you can enjoy, too."

"It sounds truly beautiful. I would...enjoy visiting, I believe. Have you had trouble caring for the gardens?"

There! Flowers and plants and greenery were something nice and safe.

She shrugged apologetically. "The house doesn't seem to be hooked up to Stacy's water systems, so I don't really have a convenient way of reviving the garden that's there. I'm going to try and plumb the cistern with a camera, see if it's sound; if it is maybe I could have Kaya fill it with water for me. There is electricity, I should be able to get the plumbing working."

A fountain sprinkling over her garden would be pretty, but -

"There's also a rather large rock that's been dropped into it. Maybe I could plant vines on it." Something edible. Old habit: everything should be edible.

Allenby waved back when she spotted Starfire, even though she wasn't new and in need of orientation. She did still come under the heading of friends, after all.

And as for her own morale--well it wasn't perfect, wouldn't be that unless her other friends got released from the pods already, but maybe that could happen now that Stacy was under her own control. "Doin' great, Starfire! How are you holding up?"

"As well as I am able," Starfire said honestly. "I have heard that you visit the pod caverns? Perhaps I should join you."

It wasn't a completely cheerful answer, but Allenby preferred that to a false front anyhow. It was an odd, kind of wry smile she had as she answered. "Yeah, sure. I'd like the company." She put her hands on her hips, rocking up on to her tiptoes and back down again. "Maybe now that Stacy's really listenin' to us and not them, she'll pay more attention when we yell out our friends' names."

"Then our voices will join as one, I promise," Starfire decided, nodding curtly. "I have new names to add to the list, if you have not added them already."
