[... 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...?

[frigidaire]

You know that's a good question. Probably something stupid the captain came up with. The Captain is Davesprite, a weird, bird dude or something. It's complicated.

But yeah, the Wonderduck. Welcome.

[fedupwithyourbull]

What do you mean, 'bird dude'?

[She has to carefully control her face at that, not wanting to seem too interested. If there are more faunus around, though, she wants to know.]

Thank you. What's your name?

[frigidaire]

Uh. He's a guy that resembles a bird. You'll see him around. Wears sunglasses indoors, you know.

[ never mind the wings, but, important ridiculous facts first, please. ]

I'm Isaac. Sorry, I guess I should have done that first. What's yours?

[fedupwithyourbull]

I hope I'll see him soon, if he's the captain.

[And for other reasons, but that's beside the point.]

Blake. It's nice to meet you.

[frigidaire]

Yeah he comes out sometimes. [ a shrug, because he's good friends with Davesprite. If she doesn't see him in a few days, he'll drag the bird boy out. ]

Yeah, welcome to this space adventure. Trust me, this ship is better than most of them. So I've heard.

[fedupwithyourbull]

You haven't been to the others?

[Some part of her is less than generally wondering if the 'Wonderduck' is better than the others, what must those other poor ships be named?]

[frigidaire]

I was on the Huntress for a short time but moved to this ship to be with my friend. I mean I've heard stories, but this one beats my other ship. More food, more games, and it's bigger.

[ but he can't speak for many more of them, just from what he's heard and the way things change around here it's hard to say. ]

[fedupwithyourbull]

... There's a ship called the Huntress, and they put me on this one?

[please hold, she has to take a moment with that.]

[frigidaire]

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense. Dramatic irony or something, I guess. The funnier the better, it seems.

[ a shrug. ] Are you hungry?

[fedupwithyourbull]

I guess I am only in training.

... A little, but I heard all the food here is gel.

[frigidaire]

Most of it is. But we've got more options on our ship. Not that they're great, but you can get creative I guess.

[fedupwithyourbull]

I can live with creative. It's gel that worries me. I'm glad to hear there's more than that.

[frigidaire]

It's not that bad, once you get what flavors go together. They give you some suggestions, too, so it tastes like things from our homeworlds, but. Not always the greatest substitutes.

[fedupwithyourbull]

It definitely doesn't sound like it. Is it at least healthy?

[frigidaire]

Does powdered and gelled food sound healthy? I mean it's probably got nutrients and that stuff but... I'd still take a burger.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Field rations can be healthy, but still disgusting. It sounds like those.

... A burger would be nice, though.

[frigidaire]

Jade can make real vegetables, but even those get old after a while. We were able to hunt on the planet, so there's some meat for sharing but it's not like Earth.

[fedupwithyourbull]

I didn't think we had enough room for a garden.

Is "Earth" where you're from?

[frigidaire]

I don't think she needs a garden, per se... she has this weird bracelet that she can use to make them. I think.

[ space tech really makes no sense to him, okay? ]

Oh. Yeah. Earth is the planet I like on, anyway. California is where I'm from.

[fedupwithyourbull]

A... bracelet that produces vegetables?

I see... We really are all from different worlds.

[frigidaire]

Yeah, I don't know, it's pretty weird. You'll meet a lot of people like that here.

[ he shrugs a little. ] I mean there are wereolves, dog people, bird people, weird people -- you'll get used to it.

[fedupwithyourbull]

[well, if you wanted to see her suddenly snap all of her focus onto you, you just figured out how.]

... You mentioned a 'bird dude', as well. There are Faunus here?
