Comments

[experiencepoints]

[And there is a new girl! You can either find her appearing on the bridge as newbies do, or wandering the halls later.]

Uh. Hello? Fuck, some warning would have been nice! Shit, is this supposed to happen?

[deshabille]

[Mal peers out of the engine room at the sound of complaining. Oh, a new person. She doesn't know what she expected.]

Oh, hello. This is probably your captain speaking, what can I do for you?

[experiencepoints]

"Probably"? You don't sound terribly reassuring...

[She's looking Mal over, taking in as much information as she can. ... Admittedly, that isn't much. Should she try casting Scan? But she wants to save every bit of MP she can manage in case things go south, since she's heard about all that's been going on lately.]

[paeon]

Yes, it is.

[ Yeah, hi, there's a cat girl down the hallway who was on her way to inspect the welcoming jingle. She pauses a few steps away so as to not crowd the newbie. Her head tilts in curiosity. ]

You are new here, I would assume.

[experiencepoints]

[Nightingale takes half a step back and looks this new girl over. Beast Tribe, from her world? Her heart leaps for a minute, but then she realizes, no. Stripes on the face, and that paint... At least she's not carrying a book.]

Apparently, though I'm not convinced this isn't all a bizarre hallucination.

... Sorry if this is rude, but... Are you a Miqo'te?

[deshabille]

Well, I'm not your captain if you don't belong to this ship. So you'll have to identify yourself before I say one way or another.

Anyway, it's not a captain's job to be reassuring. It's just a captain's job to captain.

[In other words, she basically has no idea what she's doing.]

[experiencepoints]

I'm Gray Nightingale, of Takshaka. What does a captain's job entail, then?

[deshabille]

Captaining.

[Obviously.]

I think you are supposed to be here. New arrival, aren't you? We'll get you squared away quick enough.

[experiencepoints]

... Seems like it, I guess.

[She'll just not comment on the 'captaining', then.]

So... What should I be doing? Do you need to know what I can do or something?

[deshabille]

Depends. They've probably given you an augment. Did you figure out what it is yet?

[experiencepoints]

[She seems annoyed...]

Cooking. Not that I needed that.

[deshabille]

Everybody needs to eat. Well. Except me.

[Very casually.]

Have you seen the kitchen yet?

[experiencepoints]

I can cook without it. I'm pretty high-level at it, even. What do you mean you don't?

I haven't. Just got here, remember?

[paeon]

That seems to be the reaction of some upon arrival to this place. [ She gives a small shrug and an amused smile. ]

Ah, yes! I am. You know of miqo'te? [ She'd assume this girl is from Eorzea if not for the uncertainty she's displaying. ] My name is O'danya.

[experiencepoints]

O'danya, huh...

[She takes another step back, glancing down at o'danya's hands]

I haven't done anything, so keep your weapons away, okay? Seriously, I just got here.

[paeon]

[ Well that's... a reaction, certainly. O'danya shifts her position so that the girl can keep an eye on her hands, free of any equipment for now. ]

I would not draw a weapon on one of my own crewmates so simply. What is it you're afraid of?

[experiencepoints]

[at least she seems calmer, now]

Last time I did this, I had two Miqo'te try to give me a concussion for next to no reason. I'm hoping that doesn't become a continuing thing.

[paeon]

[ Her ears twitch in surprise and she straightens. ]

Twelve, no! I wouldn't do such. My actions in the coming times will prove my words true if they are not enough.

[experiencepoints]

... Right.

[She takes a deep breath and forces herself to relax a bit- just because magpie solved literally every problem by trying to bludgeon it to death with an iron book doesn't mean that's going to happen everywhere.]

Sorry. That's... not a great first impression, huh. I'm Nightingale.

[paeon]

Not exactly, no. [ Her smile is soft, if a bit wary and confused still. ] Nightingale. Would you allow me to show you around our ship, or do you wish to do so for yourself?

[experiencepoints]

[shit she seems like she's actually nice, now nightingale's even more embarrassed]

I'd like the tour, if you don't mind... I'm definitely not equipped for exploring sci-fi shit like this on my own.

VISITOR

[ofbelief]

[ It's sometime after the shuffle occurs that a visitor will (somewhat nervously because flying shuttles) show up in the bay. But she doesn't wander past that since. This isn't exactly her ship. Oops. ]

Re: VISITOR

[experiencepoints]

[Nightingale's exploring, memorizing the layout of the ship, when this takes her past the bay and she spots...]

Lark? You came here?

Re: VISITOR

[ofbelief]

Yeees? Was I not supposed to?

Re: VISITOR

[experiencepoints]

You should have told me, first, I'd've had something ready for you. How long have you been waiting there?
