Chocolate-flavored Dessert Cream on the House

[thespaceopera]

[The bunks are filling up, but the new faces just keep appearing!

Are you a travel-weary passenger having trouble keeping your crew roster straight? Perhaps you are a fresh new recruit, finding themselves dumped into a new (and much less shiny) home. Or, maybe you've been around for a little bit and just haven't bothered meeting the other weirdos on this ship yet--what is their problem, anyway?

Well, this is the place for you!

All new passengers from the last few Shuffles, especially those who haven't met their crews yet, are welcome to post starter-comments here to invite those living on and visiting your ship to come and interact. Newbies could be just arriving on the ship, busying around where others can find them, or you can offering multiple options for interaction--however you'd like to set up your thread is fine. Just make sure to include the name of your ship in the header, so your crewmates can easily find you!

Everyone else-- go meet those newbies! Whether they are new to your own crew, or on ships you frequently visit, now is a great time to bump into them.]

Nagisa Motomiya | SS Wonderduck | shipwide broadcast and action!

1. SHIPWIDE BROADCAST (VIDEO)

Um! Hello! I think this is what people were telling me about... I'm Nagisa, and I'm your new passenger! It's really nice to meet all of you, so I hope that we can all get along and work together...!

[She looks a little flustered, since the past few days have been a whirlwind of change and confusion, but friendly.]

I'm sorry, I'm not very good at introductions. But I'm here if you need me and I would really like to become friends with all of you.

2. ACTION

[After the broadcast and maybe picking confetti out of her hair (though she's missed some too), Nagisa takes to wandering and exploring her new ship—she wants to know where she is, after all. It's still an odd, new situation, and she doesn't quite know what to do with it... Every once in awhile she'll call out to try to grab the attention of someone nearby, though, regardless of where she may be. Maybe she found her way to where someone else is working?]

Hello? Is anyone there?

action!

[thebarkside]

[ oh, no: that broadcast was adorable, and jade is slipping out of her bunk immediately following it to actively look for the new girl. ]

Nagisa, right?

[ she's peering around a corner as she asks, fluffy white dog ears perked in friendly curiosity. ]

action!

[seasidelove]

[The ears give her pause for a second, and her eyes widen, but she's seen weirder (and shared a team with weirder looking) people. But she quickly offers a smile. And anyway that's really cute, okay.]

Yes! Hello, I hope I'm not interrupting anything.

[thebarkside]

[ she shakes her head, stepping the rest of the way around the corner. jade lifts her hand in greeting, matching nagisa's smile with one of her own. ]

Nope. There's not really a whole lot going on on the ship right now, actually. The station we're docked at is kind of huge.

[ and they're all mostly broke. ]

[seasidelove]

[She lifts her own hand, offering an enthusiastic wave.]

I've heard about the station. Someone told me that I should check it out, and I will, but I wanted to meet everyone here first.

[fedupwithyourbull]

Hello. I saw your broadcast.

[i guess you're in the engine room now, where Blake has been hiding like an antisocial jerk.]

[seasidelove]

Yup! Hi. I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

[Your time of being an antisocial jerk is nearing an end, Blake. For now.]

[fedupwithyourbull]

I was just reading.

[Indeed, she has a book in her hand. Which is still open.]

[seasidelove]

[Peering at the book...]

What are you reading?

audio; bc he's lazy

[feathery]

Important query: are you a cook.

[Sorry for him.]

audio; what a lazy bird boy gosh

[seasidelove]

... I would be willing to try!

[feathery]

[Oh no she's the earnest, well-meaning type.]

Oh. Awesome. I mean I was talking about your augment, 'cause if you got to have brain surgery, getting a probe that comes with food perks is the way to go, but we could always use kitchen help.

[seasidelove]

Oh.

No, I'm communications... but I'm still willing to try cooking, anyway.

action;

[frigidaire]

[ he'd seen the broadcast but hadn't given it much thought. there are tons of broadcasts daily after all, but when he hears the voice in the corridors, he pauses and looks up, having just come from the kitchen, a mug of something hot pressed between his palms. ]

No, no one here, just us. [ it's dry, and clearly a bit sarcastic. ] You're new?

[seasidelove]

Yes. I haven't been here very long, either. [She says, still picking out the confetti from her hair because it's everywhere.] But it's nice to meet you.

[frigidaire]

Yeah it's a pretty weird welcome. Explosions, confetti and usually we're not even told when new people are coming around.

[ he shrugs, sipping what is supposed to be hot cocoa from his mug. ] What's your augment? I'm Isaac, on security here. Though there's nothing to keep secure, really...

[seasidelove]

Well, if this is supposed to be a show, the surprise is probably just something for ratings... that's how it worked on AKBingo, at least, even if that was just a variety show.

My augment is communications, though! And I'm Nagisa. [A short pause, before she continues.] Have you ever had to keep something secure?

[jamminshield]

[Once Steven sees the broadcast, he runs around the ship until he finds her and blows into a party horn.]

Hi Nagisa! My name's Steven Universe, and welcome to the Wonderduck! I'm so happy to meet you!

[seasidelove]

[SOMEONE JUST AS CHEERFUL AS HER, yayyy.]

Thank you! I'm happy to meet you too, Steven! I'm really looking forward to getting to know you.

[jamminshield]

[CHEERFULNESS INTENSIFIES, Steven only looks all too pleased.]

You are?! I'm so glad to hear that! We have a lot of fun here on the Wonderduck, so I'm really happy you get to be a part of it!

[seasidelove]

[TOO MUCH OPTIMISM AND CHEERFULNESS (no)]

I'm happy to be here, too! I'm still trying... to figure out a lot because so much of this is so sudden for me, but I'm doing my best.

Action

[forsometimenow]

[Jennifer had been engrossed in studying some of the medicine she'd picked up on the planet- legally, of course, because she still refused to participate in any black market transactions no matter how desperate for money they got- and poked her head out of the infirmary, giving a wave to the person calling out.]

[seasidelove]

[She waves back, eagerly.]

Hello! I'm not bothering you, am I?

[forsometimenow]

Of course not- are you our new crewmate?

[seasidelove]

Mhm! I am. It's nice to meet you.
