[Bright and early on the morning of the 10th, you can hear the jingle that heralds new arrivals on the bridge. Investigation leads to a girl standing there dumbstruck with confetti in her hair and bow.]

... What was that?

[frigidaire]

[ ... seriously. Isaac likes sleeping, he enjoys getting rest because otherwise he's up too early and has to try and kill time on the ship. it's harder to do than one might think.

but there's the jingle, and Isaac needs to get up for breakfast anyway. so as he's leaving his room and heading toward the kitchen, he stops, blinks a little sleepily to the girl. ]

Welcoming committee. [ he gestures to some vague space over their heads. ] Atroma has a bad sense of humor.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[She slowly starts picking the confetti out of her hair.]

... I noticed. This must be the ship I was assigned...?

[frigidaire]

Oh, uh, yeah. Welcome to the Wonderduck. There's rooms down that way, a rec room, the kitchen, cargo bay. The usual.

[ he gestures vaguely around. sorry, Blake, this is the worst welcoming committee you could ever have. ]

You know about the coms and stuff I guess from the Marsiva, yeah?

[fedupwithyourbull]

[... no, she stops and looks at him.]

I must have misheard that name.

[frigidaire]

Marsiva? Or Wonderduck? They're both pretty weird.

[ he shoves his hands in his pockets. he's freezing, but that's likely the after effects of the planet cold he got. ]

[fedupwithyourbull]

Wonderduck. Who named this ship, exactly...?

[feathery]

[Davesprite doesn't exactly need to sleep, but it takes him a few to investigate and he ends up poking his head around the doorway. He still looks a little ill around the shades, but who's paying attention.]

Whoa, hey. Been a while since we've had a noob. You didn't go knocking over your faux pudding dessert, did you.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[Well, Blake is paying attention, but she's not commenting yet.]

A... what? What dessert?

[feathery]

Yeah, you should have gotten some choco cream with the confetti, unless they skimped out.

[He walks in to better look around the bridge. He's holding a bag of chips in one hand, which might look more suspect when they glow orange. And it's coupled with the whole feathery asshole thing, but u know.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[... there is so much i need to comment on here that i don't even know where to begin.]

I haven't seen a dessert, but I haven't been looking.

Why are those glowing?

[feathery]

[Fitting with Davesprite, tbh.]

'Cause I made them. Want one? [He offers the bag to her.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[She just looks at it like it's probably radioactive.]

You... made glowing chips?

[jamminshield]

[Steven rushes to the source excitedly. Let's say he managed to obtain a party horn at a way station and immediately blows it in greeting.]

Welcome to the Wonder Duck! I really like your bow!

[fedupwithyourbull]

[what is even going on here]

Ah... Thank you? Aren't you too young to be here?

[jamminshield]

[He shrugs.]

Well, I'm here, so I guess not! My name's Steven. What's yours?

[fedupwithyourbull]

Blake. It's nice to meet you.

... What do you do here?

[jamminshield]

I'm a personnel! [He indicates the door with his own name on it. It looks like he's also been putting whatever glitter he can find on the door.]

I can, you know, help you talk about your troubles and stuff. But only if you wanna!

[fedupwithyourbull]

I think most of my troubles right now are being kidnapped into a spacefaring TV show.

[thezerothlaw]

Welcome to the Wonderduck. I am Daneel Olivaw. I'm aware that this is an unsettling experience, but perhaps I can offer some assistance?

[Yes, he's for real.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

[YOU ARE MY NEW FAVORITE]

... I would like that. Thank you. This must be the ship I was assigned?

[thezerothlaw]

[Good heavens, blushes.]

Yes, this is the Wonderduck. It's generally a comfortable ship, if nothing else.

[He's sympathetic. The Fleet is... interesting.]

Did you want a tour, perhaps, to orient yourself?

[fedupwithyourbull]

If you're offering, it would be stupid of me to refuse.

[She offers a small smile at that.]

My name's Blake.

[thezerothlaw]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Blake.

[He gives a little bow.]

Perhaps it's best to start with the cockpit. If you'll follow me?

[fedupwithyourbull]

A pleasure.

[She returns the gesture in kind.]

Lead the way.
