Who: Bloodsport Crew, ASSEMBLE.
Broadcast: Maybe??
Action: The ship (or on a station I'm not picky)
When: After all that Marsiva nonsense

[GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. instead of waking up in the cold, super-sterilized rooms of the Marsiva, you come to back in your very own room on the Bloodsport! some of you have never met each other, and a few of you have never even stepped foot on the ship before... but it's never too late to explore and greet your neighbors!

and in case anyone was wondering, yes, there are still a dozen fishbowls scattered around the ship. the glowing fish inside them seem perfectly fine. you may all rest easy, or wonder why the hell there are so many fish on this ship in the first place.]

[hitbyakar]

[ Hello, Bloodsport! You now have a hot mom aboard. She's doing something fairly predictable, here -- and that is staring at all the glowing fish. Why are there so many fish? Are they okay?

God, space is fucking weird. ]

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[space is pretty fucking weird. Robin fits right in.

he checks the ship roster all the time, and is actually looking down at his communicator when he turns the corner... he barely has time to think, "I should find this new person..." before he looks up and... sees... a complete stranger on his ship.]

Oh. [he stops, blinks.] That was easy.

[hitbyakar]

[ Lisa Lisa is a very perceptive woman, and it's not hard for her to tell that there is, indeed, something weird about him. So she's a bit on her guard when he ends up right next to her ... but to her credit, she barely looks like he's fazed her at all. ]

Pardon?

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Finding you.

[but since that sounds a little odd all on its own, he holds up his communicator as though that'd explain it... though he also takes a polite step back and smiles.]

I saw your name come up on our crew roster. Did I miss the confetti?

[hitbyakar]

[ Oh. She didn't realize there was a roster. She wonders which name was on it, if Atroma is truly invasive enough to know and plaster her real name everywhere. But she'll wait and see what he calls her by.]

... Yes. I just arrived. I assume that means you live here, as well.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

I do. I happen to be the captain.

[here, he holds his hand out for a handshake.]

My name's Robin, like the bird. And you're... Lisa...?

[he read "Lisa Lisa", but frankly, that's got to be some weird Atroma typo or something...]

[hitbyakar]

[ The captain, huh? He looks a bit young, but she knows well that looks are hardly an indicator of how old one actually is, so.

She looks at his hand for a moment, before deciding to give him a rather firm handshake. Lady means business. ]

Lisa Lisa.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[he knows a good business handshake when he gets one! though--]

Oh, both of them? That's kind of an odd name...

[hitbyakar]

It's a nickname.

[ She doesn't seem to be offering up any other information besides that -- though she keeps a small cryptic smile on her face. Instead, she changes the subject. ]

Is there another available room aboard this ship? My personal assistant arrived with me, I should like for her to transfer eventually.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Lisa Lisa it is, then.

[as... silly as it is to say, he'll commit to saying it with a straight face. she means business, so he'll keep this business!]

That shouldn't be a problem. There's an extra room open for as long as our hosts decide to keep it that way... [he shoots her a warm (charming?) smile.] And I like friends to be with friends, you know?

[hitbyakar]

[ Ah, perfect. I mean, she would have done it anyways, however she had to go about doing it -- but it's a good idea to be diplomatic when she has no idea what these people she's stuck with are like. ]

Wonderful. I will let her know she is free to join me, then. I believe she's been tasked with engineering, if that is a position you've been lacking.

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, actually... I happen to also be an engineer myself.

[though he quickly waves his hand like it's no problem.]

But we usually have two anyway! The extra help never goes unappreciated. Can I ask who it is?

[bb_wolf]

[Bigby moves very quietly... one moment, she's alone, the next, there's a small, scruffy man next to her.]

I'm trying to decide if they're edible. They can't be worse than the jellified crap they give us.

[hitbyakar]

[ Lisa Lisa is generally very good at telling when someone is in the room with her. The fact that she couldn't, here, puts her a little on edge ... though to her credit, she's rather stoic about it, and other than the slightest bit of tension in her shoulders, nothing seems amiss. ]

The protein cubes don't glow. But I suppose you're right, they can't do much worse.

[bb_wolf]

No. But that I can identify as a fish. It glows, but it's still clearly a fish.

I don't know what the fuck is in the gloopy cubes.

[hitbyakar]

You don't think it's possible it's poisonous?

[ After all, the people here have clearly managed to survive off the cubes, so they must be edible. ]

[bb_wolf]

Course it's possible.

[Lots of things are possible.]

[hitbyakar]

[ Well. She's just saying, she's not going to eat it until someone proves otherwise.

But, more importantly, she'll turn a little to face him better, now ]

Am I to assume you live on this ship?

[bb_wolf]

[He gives a low grunt of acknowledgement and pulls out his pack of cigarettes, drawing one out with his mouth and offering the pack out to her.]

Yeah. New as well.

[hitbyakar]

[ Oh. Well. That's awfully kind of him. She pauses for a moment, before opting to take one, bringing out her lighter in exchange. ]

Lisa Lisa.

[ That's her, now it's your turn! ]

Sorry, I'm still looking for anything like a smiling icon for him...

[bb_wolf]

[She gets a bit of a smile in return. It's not much more than a quick of the corner of his mouth, but it's there.]

Bigby Wolf. They're pretty shitty smokes, sorry about that. Best you can get around here right now.

hehe it's all good!!

[hitbyakar]

[ After the past couple of weeks, any smoke is a good smoke, honestly. But she'll light his, and then her own. ]

I've been told these ships stop in different places on occasion. Are there not opportunities to stock up then?

[pompous_today]

The fish were available as presents on a planet we visited. Robin and Jinx became quite fond of them.

[hitbyakar]

[ She glances up at him. Oh, another person she hasn't met yet.

Her expression doesn't give much away, but at least it's not cold. ]

I don't believe I've ever seen a fish glow so unnaturally.

[pompous_today]

Me either. It's very... gaudy. [He laughed.] But they do add a bit of cheeriness to our ship, at least. [He then offered a hand to shake.] I'm Simon, the medical officer here.
