Snow was in a great mood. But Snow was always in a pretty good mood when Serah was happy - and Serah was happy just to be around him, so that alwaya worked out. But seeing her face, how absolutely ecstatic she was when they spotted Lightning on the Observation Deck ... they were pretty lucky, he thought. And in that joyous moment when he thought things couldn't get any better, Snow had heard Sazh's voice in the crowd. They were all waking up, one after the next, slowly but surely. It gave Snow hope that more would be following suit soon enough. The Obs Deck had cleared and there had been no more familiar faces to see, but he knew for sure that next time, they'd repeat the cycle.

When things had finally calmed some - enough that at least the newly awakened Lightning and Sazh could find their bearings, it was an easy choice to help the two get acquainted with the ship and her layout, Snow and Serah decided. So into the city the couple led them, on the way pointing out corridors and transportation tubes, explaining where everything could and would lead if they wanted to get somewhere or explore anything more in-depth themselves down the line. Snow pointed out the places he knew as they walked through the city. "Oh yeah, that's Le Prefecture, where the Council usually has their meetings. Uh, I'm not actually sure what that castle's supposed to be," he said when he gestured over to Castle Wyvern. "And that's the Atori Teahouse - bet you can't guess what that's for!"

For all intents and purposes, this was a perfectly normal tour of the city.

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a tall man in green armor and snake girl 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.

So with Stacy's credits, as well as a sell or two of his memories (he found the idea so weird initially, but after thinking about it, he somewhat warmed up to the idea, offering a few of his most beloved but not too serious or personal memories), Snow had finally begun his journey. His journey with Serah to browse around and buy her anything she wanted. He had no idea how often the ship and her crew made stops like this, much less stops on planets with so many things ripe for the buying, so figured he'd play it safe and go all out to spend everything he had.

Snow and Serah could be seen moving about together hand in hand, stopping at this stall and that one to see what they had to offer. Clothes? Trinkets? Random things that Serah thought were cute? Every thing she'd show an interest in would get the same question from Snow: "You want it?" And though the two looked absolutely content in each other's company, they also had a more than open air about them if they spotted any new or familiar faces in the crowds.

[ooc: Newbie Helpers List | Instructions: Post your character with one post establishing them as being podpopped. Tag each other in groups of 2's, 3's, and 4's, to get some interaction to start with. If a thread doesn't already have 2 or 3 people tagged in, tag it with your character's podpop popping near the other people, rather than making a new subthread. If you would like to play out them talking to the AI, please send an email to the mods making the request--we do this only by request. Then move onto the big Newbie Meeting. Once your character has gotten the rundown from the old crew, you may start posting entrance posts and freely tagging.]


||Pod Release Protocols Initating|| Stacy's familiar voice sounds out to all the podmates through the ship.

In the Pod Caverns, there are the sounds of: Pop. Pop pop pop. Poppuhpoppoppop. KASCHUNKhiiiiiiiissssss.

There is condensation and mist spraying out from cracks in the pods, as the people inside slide out onto the floors, covered in slime.
