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.]

Need something? [ He's fiddling with some mechanical part in the ship again, tweaking it to stop it rattling around, but he notes that this isn't a face he's seen before. She must be new. ]

[moonofmylife]

[She didn't know how to avoid being suspicious of everyone and she was still not used to the complicated technologies but this was a start. She had a communication augment but it neglected to give her understanding of the mechanical parts in the ship. Watching him tinker with it was fascinating.]

Is this how you make it fly? With all those little parts and pieces?

[Curious, she reaches forward to touch one of them, regardless of if it's wise to do so or not.]

[electrostatics]

This? Nah.

[ He's not working on live wires, so he gives that a pass. He doesn't like people invading his personal space bubble, though, so he moves so he can work without interference. ] For flying, you want the engine room. This stuff is just quality of life. Makes things more comfortable for humans like you.

[ Not that he's unduly concerned with quality of life, but he feels bound to address any problems as soon as he notices them. With how small this ship is and how sensitive he is to sounds that are out of the ordinary, he's able to tinker contentedly quite easily to keep everything running smoothly.

He carefully replaces a worn-looking piece of machinery with a new one. The sound had been bothering him for weeks, so he's glad they docked so he can finally replace it. ]

[moonofmylife]

I see. You are not human?

[Well, this was interesting. She felt like she was learning so much today! Though how much of it was useful information remained to be seen. She watches him work, replacing worn pieces for newer ones. It was strange but she wanted to know more if she could about the technology of this place. She'd never seen anything like it.]

[electrostatics]

Nope. [ I mean, he looks like this, after all. Most people tend to go "holy shit what are you" at his appearance.

He checks around to see that there's nothing more to do, and then starts closing up the panel. ] Are you?

[ It's worth asking, anyway. ]

[moonofmylife]

[True!! But for all she knows it was just a funny outfit and it's definitely not her place to ask questions about that sort of thing. In Essos people dye their hair bright colors and paint their skin.]

I am, last I was aware. I hope I didn't give offense.

[She isn't sure how to address him. He's not a knight nor is he a lord. What do.]

[electrostatics]

You'd have to try pretty hard to offend me. You don't need to be formal. [ He just waves a hand. He's not really going to make any effort to be formal either, now that he's more comfortable. ]

Hope you like gel, by the way. That'll be most of your diet.

[moonofmylife]

Formal is how I was brought up, I'm afraid. I was raised to be a Queen.

[And take back her home from those who had stolen it from her. Originally that had been for Viserys' sake but now it was for her own.]
