[avaricious]

[Well shit. Greed is interested now. And it's only going to get more confusing as he takes over. Now that Ling has established communication - he's pretty irrelevant at this point.]

Don't give me a reason to, pal. Why are you haunting me?

[nerdeology]

[Great, he gets to deal with the violent one again.

He's not sure if he should bother dispelling the misunderstanding here- if people want to assume he's some kind of ghost, he doesn't care. It's not that different from back home, though it's a little insulting- ghosts are a type of hellion, after all. He's not here to argue semantics, though- just to prevent further conflict.

NOT HAUNTING

NEW CREW

That's the word for it, right?]

[avaricious]

... huh, so I got a ghost guy now. [Greed rubs his chin thoughtfully. That's actually pretty fucking awesome.]

Well, you're in luck, because I'm your new captain. My name is Greed. Yours?

[nerdeology]

[Oh god, this is the captain? What the hell is with this ship. Who elected him!?

Mikleo sighs. Better than the guy taking swings at him, but... ghost guy. Is that really how it is, now?

MIKLEO]

[avaricious]

[Greed feels like he should know that name already. But... nothing comes to mind. Oh well.]

Augment?

[nerdeology]

[Ugh. Ugh. Don't remind him that the augment is even a thing. He's still grossed out by the alien tech they somehow got into his head. But everyone's in the same boat, so...

COMMUNICATIONS

He knows it's ironic, okay.]

[avaricious]

[Greed linefaces. First the psycho cook, then the cowardly security officer, and now an invisible silent comms officer.]

Well. That's a fucking disaster.

[... at least they still have Kurt?]

[nerdeology]

[Have an invisible shrug. He knows, he knows.

DIDN'T PICK IT]

[avaricious]

We never do, pal.

[So, communications is a bust. But on the other hand...]

So, seeing as you're invisible, you could go anywhere you like, right?

[He isn't sure how to use this just yet... but it could be pretty amazing. Especially since he has Ling around to prevent that being used against himself.]

[nerdeology]

[...He's not sure he likes where this is going, but... he's not wrong.

MORE OR LESS

Don't think he's going to do anything weird for you just because you're the captain.]

[avaricious]

Here's the problem - we've already got a comms guy. Blue fuzzy kid - kind of a pushover. He's already got the job down. But you, Mickey - well, you're something special. We could get some really good use out of someone doing intel.

[Intel like... existing around the ship and just observing when no one else can see. It's the kind of thing that Greed needs. To make sure no one is plotting against him.]

[nerdeology]

[Yeah, he knew it.

HOW SUSPICIOUS

You are being sketchy as heck, Greed.

And now someone else is calling him Mickey. Why does he always end up with the nicknames!?]

[avaricious]

We've been kidnapped by aliens. We gotta use every angle we got, right?

[It's for the greater good, Mickey. Go with him on this.]

[nerdeology]

[He does not believe you in the slightest.

WE'LL SEE

Nooooot making any promises.]

[avaricious]

[Greed is only out for the greater good. Somehow no one ever believes that. The greater good is Greed getting everything he wants, okay.

Still, he shrugs.]

That other guy you were talking to - he's Ling. Seeing as the kid could sense your presence, there might be others who can. Anyone managed to pick you out yet?

[nerdeology]

[Hmm. So far the prospects are not looking great. ...Or they are looking great, probably, from Greed's perspective.

UNDYNE CAN SEE ME

The rest, he's not sure about just yet.]

[avaricious]

Her, huh? [She was scaly, but she hadn't struck him as anything special. Just a pretty wild chimera. Still... he was less concerned about her.]

Hope she didn't try to filet you.

[nerdeology]

[Hah... he'd kind of expected her to, though. Apparently even hellion-looking creatures can surprise you.

SHE'S OKAY]

[avaricious]

She's mouthy as hell, but she's a lady after my own heart. Glad to hear you get on well.

[Believe or not, but he doesn't want discord among the ranks.]

[nerdeology]

[He would have believed that if you hadn't punched him like two minutes ago.

ANYONE DANGEROUS?

Since you're talking, he might as well brace himself. Again, because punching happened.]

[avaricious]

[He chuckles.]

Besides me? Not really. The bearded guy has the whole warrior monk vibe going, but he'd rather bore you with talks of peace than do anything about it. That new girl has some neat water powers going, but she's too loony to do anything about it.

[And that really are the only two notables ones outside of Undyne as far as he's concerned.]

[nerdeology]

[He has a feeling he'll have to judge for himself when he gets around to meeting them.

WATER POWERS?]

[avaricious]

She controls water. First day on the ship she sucked it right out of the shower.

[It was a whole thing. And it was terrible.]

Which I was using at the time.

[nerdeology]

[He did that with Sorey, actually. When he was like, ten, it was hilarious.

TWO OF US, THEN

Aren't you lucky, Greed? So much watery potential.]

[avaricious]

So that's what that was, huh? So now we've got two wet ones.

[Guess we're just doing double everything on this ship.]
