[Having procured a rather impressive array of supplies from the planet and Christmas presents, the kitchen is going to be smelling very good with Nightingale cooking all sorts of nice meat dishes, albeit at very odd hours. Still, if you come to investigate these smells (or the late-night noises, honestly), you should probably watch your head, with dishes and ingredients and whatnot flying around the kitchen to where she needs them at high speeds.

Alternately, you can find her wandering the halls of the ship with an excited little fox from the planet. Seriously, very excited, wanting to get up in everyone's space.

Or I guess if you're after something more peaceful, she can also be found in the cargo bay, fox curled up with her as she works on that guide of hers some more.]

[ delightful smells coming from the kitchen are surely no cause for alarm. but the continuous clang of pots and pans at such strange hours of the night are - enough that the dark elf eventually decides that it's time to investigate.

lioriley steps into the doorway of the kitchen as an array of vegetables flies past her head. ]

Ah - is everything all right in here? [ surely she did not mean to do that. ]

[experiencepoints]

-- Oh, shit. Are you okay?

[She waves, and everything lands quickly.]

Sorry, none of that hit you, did it? I wasn't paying enough attention.

[everydayhero]

[food at odd hours??? that's hiro's bag.

[your captain is investigating this food smell, friend. all you fucking magical cooks, god. thank god he's still short enough to duck.]

Hey, something smells great in here.

[experiencepoints]

[She glances up and flicks a wrist, and the flying ingredients start to give him a wide berth.]

I've managed to stockpile enough meat from that last planet to last us a damn long while. I'm making stir-fry, you want some?

[actsmagnificent]

[ Now that she's gotten over her illness, Haruka's been feeling antsy. Crewmates can find her on the bridge, mostly, or in the pilot's seat staring out at the abyss.

Alternatively, it looks like she's about to board a shuttle. Any tagalongs? ]

[experiencepoints]

[She'll find Haruka on her way to the shuttle herself.]

Oh. Going somewhere?

[actsmagnificent]

Not if you have it reserved.

[ There probably isn't a reserve system. But even if there were, Haruka wouldn't have paid any attention to it. ]

[After this week's shuffle, your new member is boarding the ship, looking around curiously as she enters. She raises a hand in greeting to anyone she sees immediately, offering a pleasant smile. Despite the circumstances, she looks altogether composed.]

Hello. My name is Adelina, it's a pleasure to meet you.

[If anyone misses her entrance to the ship, she can be found exploring later on in the day. She understands almost nothing about most of the things she sees, although she assumes a majority are a form of technology far beyond anything she's encountered in her world. You can find her picking up random appliances or other unfamiliar items (the toaster in the kitchen, the tank tops in her locker, a beanbag chair in the library). Someone might want to say something before she touches something that may not be meant to be touched.]

[ lioriley had planned to check and see if any new members had arrived aboard the bishop after the shuffle. but plans often did go awry with her, as she had been sufficiently distracted while visiting one of her friends aboard another ship earlier in the day. by the time she sees adelina, it's probably after the other woman's been wandering around for a while.

but she makes sure to stop for the unfamiliar face, smiling brightly as she greets her. ]

Hello, Adelina! [ she says softly, lines across her cheeks flickering as she bows her head. ] I am Lioriley - I cannot say I have seen you aboard the Bishop before. Are you a new arrival, or did I happen to miss someone whilst searching previously? [ she would feel terrible if it was the latter. but this ship was so big she's certain she hasn't met everyone. ]

[bloodbiter]

[She makes an effort not to stare, but Lioriley's markings are altogether unfamiliar to her. Her smile doesn't falter as she gives the woman a curtsy in greeting.]

I've only just arrived in this place, you're correct. It's lovely to make your acquaintance.

[preformthisneigh]

[Well, good for her being composed. Better than having some kind of meltdown over it all. Panic attacks aren't all that great in enclosed spaces. Cheese offers her a big friendly smile in response to her greeting. ]

Hey there, Adelina! I'm Cheese, welcome to the Bishop.

[bloodbiter]

[As unexpected as it was to see a pony on board this ship, it was even more surprising to hear him talk. It gives her pause for a few moments, though tries not to appear too shocked or confused.]

Cheese? I see. Thank you for the welcome.

[She gives a small curtsy before straightening up.]

Have you been here long?

[experiencepoints]

[She's freezing when she spots Adelina.]

... Hello again.

[bloodbiter]

[She doesn't think to connect it to the way Nightingale seemed to recognize her days earlier, but she notices the hesitation regardless.]

Hello. It appears I've been assigned to your ship.

[everydayhero]

[ah, the meet-and-greet!!

[hiro doesn't catch her on her initial round, too busy working on maintaining the engine at current, but if she's in the kitchen later, she'll probably find that a short, black-haired teenager has found his way in the room as well. it doesn't take him long to realize she's a new member; they've gotten a lot of those lately.]

... You, uh... looking for something?

[bloodbiter]

[She stops peering into the toaster to turn towards him.]

No, I was trying to understand what this device is meant to do.

[a pause in which she realizes she should introduce herself.]

But more importantly, my name is Adelina. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[onlyburnhotter]

[Yang will likely bump into Adelina, as she herself wanders around the Bishop. Still getting the lay of the ship. She'll wave a friendly greeting when they run into each other.]

Hey! I'm guessing you're also new?

[invigorates]

[ she's been through this once before, so there's hardly any surprise when she's suddenly shifted from the marsiva aboard another ship in the fleet. this one, it seems, is much larger than her last - filled with far more people too, from what she can tell just wandering the halls.

the dark elf investigates every open room, maybe knocks on closed doors if she thinks someone is in there and hopes she won't disturb them. all she wants to do is acquaint herself with her new shipmates, introduce herself, maybe get to know them a little better. after all, they are going to be living together so they might as well, right? right.

if she's not wandering, she can be seen ... pretty much everywhere? mostly in the med bay though, poking around to see how well it's stocked (not that she needs it, what with that magical healing and all, but whatever) and all that jazz. she should also probably find out where she's sleeping - for those few moments she does sleep. ]

[everydayhero]

[hey lior there's weird fucking music coming from the cargo bay and you have not met hiro yet because he's the worst at introducing himself to new people]

[actsmagnificent]

It's open.

[ Says a voice from behind the door when Lioriley knocks. The voice doesn't sound put out, either. It's all good. ]

[onlyburnhotter]

[Another newcomer? Yang will likely run into her as she herself combs through the Bishop, trying to build a map of the ship in her head.]

Oh, hey! Getting a look around the new ship too, huh?

[everydayhero]

[after hiro realizes he's got a lot of new people on his ship, he'll be making an announcement over the PA system for everybody to hear.]

Hey, everybody, this is your captain, Hiro Hamada, speaking. I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all the newest members of the SS Bishop's crew. You're gonna notice the Bishop has a lot more to her than preeeeetty much any other ship, so if you have any questions about the alarms or the music systems, let me know. Also, see me at some point for the code for the cargo bay doors--anyone who isn't a member of the crew needs to be approved before you give them that code. But don't worry, the doors are pretty much only locked during crisis time.

Also wanna congratulate us on being a fully-functional ship again, because wow does it suck not having any guns when the going gets rough. So, uh, thanks for that, new guys--er, girls, actually, wow. Is there any girl in this fleet who can't kick my brother's butt? Probably not.

Anyway, if you need me, you can usually find me in the cargo bay or in my room. Welcome to the Bishop, the best ship the fleet has to offer.

[he is, in fact, in the cargo bay right now, if anyone needs an explanation of the things he mentioned.]

[preformthisneigh]

[He's probably in his room or something who the hell knows, he's just gonna yell anyway. ]

WOO HOO, GO TEAM BISHOP!

[onlyburnhotter]

[Well, with a greeting like that, how can Yang NOT want to head down to the cargo bay to meet her new captain?]

Yo! I'm guessing you're the captain? The one who made that message over the speakers?
