[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.]

Hello. I saw your broadcast.

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

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

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

I was just reading.

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

[Peering at the book...]

What are you reading?

[snapping it shut and putting it aside.]

It's something I found on the station here. It's nothing important.

It's a little important if you like it so much, though.

I don't like it that much. There's just not much else to do around here.

[She hums a bit, thoughtfully, because that's not the first time she's heard this.]

There really isn't? At all? How do you make space boring?

You don't give us anything to do, is how. You can only look outside for so long.

If it's a show, it's probably because they just want us to create drama ourselves... but I don't really want to do that.

I prefer to avoid drama, yes. Especially if it's only for the entertainment of others.

Though, we could always come up with something fake—something like...

"Hey, stop, that's my dorito!! It's the only real food we have right now!!"

... You have fun with that. I'll... be in here. Reading.

Well, we don't have to. I know that I'm going to just sing and dance, like I always do.

Are you sure the only thing you want to do is read? We could find fun things to do together!
