Meet-n-Greet

After being released from stasis, having the slime removed from their bodies and clothed in the creepy, pulsing leaf-suit that everyone wore, and being taken to the Weapons & Possessions lockers to collect their belongings, the new arrivals would find themselves standing in the Observation Deck. Round windows lined the fleshy walls, revealing the bright display of lights that was inter-dimensional travel. They would also discover that there were people--members of the command staff and crew that had woken earlier--waiting for them.

There's a notably sightless (considering he's not directly facing or looking towards Wednesday when he talks) teenager who speaks up.

"Kazuki Makabe, 18. Fafner pilot."

Wednesday would probably recognize that word, considering Fafner was the dwarf of Norse legend who became a dragon to protect its treasure.

"What sort of 'Fafner' are we talking about?" Wednesday says. "Over here, to your left."

His voice is sympathetic friendship wrapped around a forged-iron core.

Kazuki turns his head and...overcompensates, looking a little too far to the other side.

Is it obvious he isn't used to being blind yet?

"Giant mecha, about eighty feet tall...you haven't seen it, have you?"

"A little too far. Try to center my voice in your hearing." He reaches to gently touch one of Kazuki's arms to get him a bit more lined-up properly.

"And, no, I haven't. We have a few other people here who seem to pilot things of that sort, though the ship hasn't allowed them access to their equipment either..."

"Damn...would've been useful if I could've found it."

Yes, Kazuki. Because the answer to every problem is giant robots.

"Perhaps so," Wednesday says. "Are you all right?" he adds.

He's not—worried, exactly, since after all, the boy did manage to make it up here, but there is kind of a vague caring buried in there.

"It's just my eyes. All I can see are lights and really blurry shapes."

It probably has something to do with the fact that the irises of Kazuki's eyes are completely clouded over with a rather bright red color.

"What happened to you?" Wednesday asks. He's already picked up on Kazuki's newness to the whole 'near-blind' situation.

"Assimilation phenomenon," he says. "I was given a compound made from alien DNA as a child in order to pilot Nothung model Fafners, but it also causes problems the more I pilot them."

He'd seen what happened to Sakura. He was only thankful it wasn't as bad for him...yet.

Wednesday pauses. Well, that's... strange.

"Seems a little counter-productive," he says, mulling the whole idea over.

Kazuki shrugs slightly.

"It was something that had to be done. Normal Fafners didn't have the power to fight the Festum, and the Nothung model Fafners were too powerful to pilot without it."

"Hmm, then... what is 'the Festum'?" the old man asks, looking rather befuddled about the whole situation.

"Aliens that were trying to assimilate all sentient beings in order to bring everything into non-existence. We figured out a way to make them stop, but I don't know how that went."

"Oh, that's... quite a situation," Wednesday says, those big eyebrows of his pushing upwards. "Hopefully one with a positive resolution... if that's the kind of thing you're used to, anyway, you may be rather helpful here."

Strangely, Kazuki doesn't look put off by the thought of helping out at all.

"I'll definitely do what I can," he says with a quiet confidence.

Wednesday smiles. "I think you'll find yourself in good company, here. Oh—those others I mentioned. There's a..." His face twists just a moment as he yanks things out of his memories. "—woman named Meluly, black skin and tattoo patterns, and a boy named Kira Yamato, rough brown hair and he's kind of innocent-looking. And two boys named Vega and Jamie—they're a little younger than Kira, shorter hair... I don't know much about what they... pilot," and he's not really sure if that's the right word, "but you might want to talk to them."

Kazuki smiles and nods.

"I'll be sure to do that, Mr...?"

"Wednesday," the old man says with a nod. "It's always been a good day for me."
