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.]

Sleeping in a lab isn't the same as having a room, man.

[Just cause she found a place doesn't mean she isn't going to complain.]

Any idea why they didn't just stick us on a new ship?

[wolfuncaged]

It is still a bed. Most in the Fleet will have to settle with the floor.

[This is Fenris, offering not a single shit to her predicament. ]

I do not know. For their own amusement?

[helladoomed]

I've slept on worse things than a floor. [They could deal, right? Plus there was that whole space station.]

So how long you been here? Cause that's a lot of bitter you're leaking out everywhere.

[wolfuncaged]

Then you may do well here. Preparedness for anything helps.

...This is how I always am.

I have been here for a year and a half. I was in another place before this, however, so it has been around two years since I last saw my home world.

[helladoomed]

Jesus. That's a long ass time to be away from home.

[Though with any luck, she'd be away from hers longer.]

So...okay, what's with the ears?

[Important questions.]

[wolfuncaged]

Hm. From what I understand, I have missed much.

[And he's clearly been away from home long enough to let out an aggravated sigh at this instead of look at her like she's a lunatic. ]

I'm an elf.

[helladoomed]

What, like, Lord of the Rings, secrets of the forest, what do you see with your elf eyes legolas stuff?

[At least she hadn't asked if he knew who was taking the hobbits to Isengard?]

[wolfuncaged]

[He sets her a long, measured stare. ]

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

...We can see in the dark? If that's what you mean.

[helladoomed]

Sorry, it was...a bad joke. [She grins.]

It's just, elves aren't really...real...back home.

[wolfuncaged]

..Ah. It was not funny.

Well, as you can see they are where I come from.

[helladoomed]

No, it was. You just didn't get it.

[Shrug. It wasn't her fault he lacked the cultural understanding necessary to appreciate her bad joke.]

So. Elves huh.

What kind of place do you come from?

[wolfuncaged]

If you say so.

[That is not a convinced tone. ]

It is called Thedas. It is not a pleasant place.

[helladoomed]

Worse than being trapped on a spaceship?

[wolfuncaged]

Yes. The world is teetering on the brink of war, after not long surviving an army of dark- [no, she won't know what they are] monsters lead by an infected dragon decaying and razing the land. From what I understand from those who are here from the future of my world, it is about to get worse. The sky will be torn asunder and demons will fall out all across the land destroying all they see.

[helladoomed]

...Jesus. Okay, that sounds pretty shitty.

So you like it here then?

[wolfuncaged]

"Like" is a rather strong term. I would still rather be home, even if it is a shithole. Still, I have people I care for here. I suppose that is enough.

[helladoomed]

Yeah...

[Chloe's smile was a little sad.]

I get that.

[wolfuncaged]

[He offers the smallest of smiles, it's there, but barely. ]

Even in places such as this, there is something to be gained from it.

[helladoomed]

Sure. Lots of be gained, in my case.

[She thumbs over her shoulder.]

Anyway I'm goin' back to exploring.

[wolfuncaged]

[He inclines his head. ]

I hope you enjoy yourself.
