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.

"Who?" Wednesday says. "We're all a bit stuck here, m'boy. We're working on getting out so we can get people back home, but..." He makes a mostly-universal 'that'll take a while' gesture.

But... the revolution! The barricades! He is needed!
Well, he best make use of what is here then. At least he has his own food.

"I am Gavroche, sir, and I am not a mome. I am an argue." That's the best answer he has for the man, "Who are you?"

[[mome=child, argue=man]]

"Everyone is a mome to me, m'boy," Wednesday says, and his tone is such to suggest that, yes, he really does think that way. "I am Mr. Wednesday." He offers Gavroche a broad, firm, and callused hand. "I serve as one of the... orientation staff we've appointed."

Gavroche takes it, attempting to give the strongest grip he can, "what does that mean?"

"I answer questions, and try to keep there from being too much of a panic. It's a... disturbing situation, after all, m'boy."

Wednesday goes a little easy with the handshkae.

"I'm not your boy M'sieur. I am no one's boy." Disturbing? Just a little.

"If you were no one's boy, then you'd be a girl, wouldn't you?" Wednesday counters with a little bit of a twinkle in his eye.

"Ah- uhm..."

that's just a bit too complicated, "non, because I am a boy."

"Ah, see?" Wednesday says.

He's teasing, juuust a bit.

"But I am not your boy."

this is all really rather frustrating for him, and if he doesn't figure out what is going on soon... well... he wont cry. Because he is not a mome and only mome's cry.

Wednesday nods just a little bit.

"We are working on getting everyone home," he says reassuringly. "If were lucky it won't take much longer to put things into action."

[identity profile] gotsomebite.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Then what is going to happen?"

[identity profile] anoldtrickster.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
"Then we'll get out of here and all go back where and when we came from," he says with a smile. "Assuming all goes well."

"But... until then? What will we do?"
After all, that shouldn't take more than a few days, even if that is forever to the mind of this child, he can be 'patient'.

[identity profile] anoldtrickster.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, there's the city, and it has all sorts of nooks and crannies that haven't been explored... and the Sensoriums. And a bit of schooling—they do try to make it entertaining—for the youngsters like you." He gestures absently.

That causes Gavroche to make a face like none before, "I don't need that, I'm good."

"Well, it doesn't have to do with good or bad... school's about learning enough so you know later if someone's trying to trick you, if you really want to be practical about it."

[identity profile] gotsomebite.livejournal.com 2009-08-02 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
"You don't need school for that."

"But what if you find yourself in a situation where it would have helped? A bit too late to say 'oh, well, I guess I've changed my mind...'"
