Arrival broadcast!
Who: Bigby Wolf and ALL OF YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva (who knows where it will go)
When: ... now?
[The broadcast begins before he's really awake.
He is a scruffy man of difficult to determine age, wearing black pants, a white (ish) shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black tie that seems redundant since it's loose and his shirt isn't buttoned to the collar anyway.
He comes awake with a deep inhale and eyes flying open, flicking around him. They're perfectly normal brown eyes that lock onto the communicator fast.
Rolling from the bed, he vanishes from view. There's some muttered cursing, sneezing and then the click of a lighter.
When he comes back into view, the cigarette is tucked into his mouth with ages old familiarity.]
I better be able to fucking get more cigarettes on this tin can.

[no judgment in her tone, but it's probably easier in the long haul, especially here.]
no subject
How many people usually shoved onto one of these ships? I might give them up if there's not too many.
no subject
Around ten or less. This [she looks around them] is an anomaly.
no subject
[He thinks about this. New location, sealed, ten or less people to learn.]
I can probably cope with that without the cigarettes. Maybe.
no subject
Cigarettes help you cope with people? [you don't look like a particularly anxious sort. Practical, maybe.]
no subject
[He taps his nose.]
This thing is sensitive to lots of smells. These drown 'em out.
[And he shakes his half empty cigarette box.]

Well, most of the chores seem to be automated, so at least you won't be stuck with the consequences of a less fastidious crewmate.
no subject
If bathing is automated, I would get why people avoid it. Being washed by someone else is only fun if you're not in it for the washing.
no subject
Oh? And will you be offering incentives for bathing regularly?
no subject
Fuck. I don't have much to offer in way of incentive other than 'don't be a fucking dickhead and make people smell your stink'.

no subject
No? Then what type of guy are you?
no subject
[Grendel would call him a fucking monster. Snow would call him rough but well meaning. Crane would call him that frustrating animal wearing a man's skin.]
One who takes showers by himself.
no subject
You've made your point quite succinctly.
[a genial smile] I'm Kaioh Michiru. It's nice to meet you.
no subject
Your name sounds Japanese.
no subject
[her ability to sense aliens from outside her solar system is nigh useless here, where everybody is from another dimension]

I hadn't realized New York City was as varied as this place.
no subject
[Especially Fabletown and the Homelands.]
no subject
Then you'll probably have an easier time adapting than some of us.
no subject
[Or bite their faces off.]
