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.]

[ probably a little faster than is strictly human, Kara shows up in the kitchen and waves ]

Hello! I saw your message. My name's Kara.

[helladoomed]

[Luckily Chloe just assumes the girl must've been nearby! She gets a wave from the teen, who doesn't stand up or anything polite like that.]

Hey hey, Kara. You're the first one here! So dig in.

[She gestures at the food.]

[takingkarabusiness]

[ Kara doesn't seem perturbed in the least ]

Oh, I want to make sure there's enough for everyone.

[ she's still going to take something though ]

I like your hair!

[helladoomed]

Dude, first come first serve. If they're too slow, too bad!

[Chloe was not very good at this, it seems. But hey, compliments.]

Thanks!

[She even tugs off her beanie. She dyed her roots purple, or they faded to purple, from the look of things.]

Gonna have to figure out where to find hair dye around here.

[takingkarabusiness]

Now, that is cool. Hopefully you can stock up at the station we're on? Well, when our credits are restored.

[helladoomed]

That's the plan. Though still not entirely sure on how money works here.

What do you mean, restored?

[takingkarabusiness]

Apparently our assets are temporarily frozen.

[helladoomed]

That's...not cool.

[Hmm.]

Not that I have an assets yet. I guess.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ munching on some of chloe's haul ]

Oh, right. I don't really either.

Maybe there's some other way to get hair products?

[helladoomed]

[Chloe grins.]

There's always another way if you put your mind to it.

[Yes she's talking about shoplifting.]

[takingkarabusiness]

What way is that?

[ she genuinely doesn't think of it ]

[helladoomed]

Uh. [Chloe almost answers, but then realizes she doesn't know enough about this girl to know how she'll react. So instead she just shrugs.]

You know, just...taking the problem and looking at it in another way.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ takes a moment to think about it and then— ]

Oh.

Oh. [ not judgmental, just a little surprised ]

[helladoomed]

[Seeing that moment where Kara figures it out makes Chloe grin.]

Hey, a girl's gotta eat, right?

Or in my case, a girl really has to never have blonde hair again.

[takingkarabusiness]

[ not threatened, but a bit sardonic ]

What's wrong with blonde hair?

[ switches gears slightly, though ]

But seriously, be careful. I don't know what the law is like around here.

[helladoomed]

When I don't dye it, I have strawberry blonde hair.

[She gestures at herself.]

Do I seem like the type?

[takingkarabusiness]

I don't really know you, so I can't say.

[ the mock offense continues ]

[helladoomed]

[Chloe peered down at herself, then back at the woman, as if to say 'use your eyes, girl.' then she shrugged.]

Hey, whatever. Blonde clearly works for you. Not so much for me.

As for the local cops...cops are usually pretty easy.

[takingkarabusiness]

I haven't seen any cops. Which means there's probably something else in place.

[helladoomed]

Fancy space security systems? [She looks kind of excited, until she realizes what else that means.]

Or just more cameras fuckin' everywhere. Never gonna get away from that, are we.
