Chocolate-flavored Dessert Cream on the House

[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.]

[There's a long moment of silence in which she simply stares at the feed. Did he really just say that? He's being serious, right? It's not like him to crack that type of joke. Or a joke at all. Most of the time.

Oh yeah, she's still staring.]

I-I'm sorry. I don't think I heard that right.

[He stares back. At least she doesn't seem to be trolling him for entertainment purposes (this time). But he doesn't feel like saying a stupid name twice.]

You heard me just fine.

[moonbay]

Wow. [And another, super long pause.]

I'm so sorry, Irvine. [It sounds as if he just lost a good friend. May God have mercy on him.]

[wolvenmemory]

I'll live.

[If reluctantly.]

But are you sure this isn't some damn castle thing?

[Well okay back to business. She nods, expression sobering.]

Yeah. Plenty of faces here I don't recognize-- too many to be brought in at once. I've heard mention of other places, too, not just the castle.

[Despite the topic, her tone is still laced with some relief. Having someone who remembers the place is good, but having that person be a close friend from home as well is the most she could honestly ask for. Not that he'll ever hear any of this.]

[wolvenmemory]

[Not that he'd ever expect to hear any of it. Even as her last will and testament.

He finds it almost hard to believe they're not inside that damn castle anymore. But he trusts Moonbay's judgement over his own. She had been at the place longer than he had. He's not sure what he'd prefer, but at least this place believes in proper communication channels instead of making them Dear Diary their lives.]

And? Do you remember going home?

[moonbay]

[She shakes her head.]

Not at all. It's like I went right from there to here, but some time has past and I don't remember?

[There's a note of exasperation at the end of it.] It's kinda pissing me off.
