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.]

It's a variety show! It's... not quite a reality show, but it's still meant for entertaining people.

[Space ship tv shows in space, though. Honestly, the idea probably exists somewhere in her universe, though she doesn't pay much mind to it.]

A fox doesn't sound too bad, at least. It sounds kind of cute, actually! Even with the sock stealing!

[frigidaire]

Huh. Okay.

[ at least she's not panicking like some of the other newbies had. being kidnapped to a spaceship reality show was shocking to most, but he's amused to see that it's not unusual to some. what is this place. ]

Yeah, I mean it's cute, but it really likes me, and it's not even mine. It keeps finding ways into my room. His name is Newton, he belongs to Jade. Dog-eared girl, you can't miss her.

[seasidelove]

I've met her already! She's really cute.

If the fox likes you so much, though, there has to be a reason... even if it keeps trying to steal your socks. I bet it's a good reason, too!

[frigidaire]

Yeah, she's nice.

[ he's not sure he'd say cute, especially when he was basically introduced to her by way of calling her a furry, but. not all things can go so smoothly. Jade is still pretty important to him either way. ]

I don't know, foxes are just tricksters, so. It's probably just to see my suffer. Probably payback for calling Jade a furry.

[seasidelove]

... What's a furry? Is it just because she has dog ears?

[frigidaire]

[ well this got awkward. story of his life. ]

Yeah, people who like to dress up like animals and make weird porn videos. Don't ask me.

[ he raises his hands, like sure, he'd say this to anyone, no big deal. Isaac Awkward as Hell Lahey. Welcome to the Wonderduck, Nagisa. ]

[seasidelove]

[Okay. Her team in Aather prepared her for a lot. Romance was basically their thing. But they also censored themselves and this kind of thing never came up.

So.

The only thing she can do is stare at him for a minute, kind of horrified.]

Excuse me, what? How can you just say something like that so... so... so normally!

[frigidaire]

[ ... it only comes to Isaac after the fact that maybe he should have minded his language a little bit, but. here they are. ]

I mean, that's what they are, and it's some weird, freaky lifestyle. Should I have sang it or something? I didn't go into detail.

[ he shrugs, rubbing at the back of his head. ] I was being informational. [ or awkward and thoughtless, who knows! ]

[seasidelove]

I'm not sure if singing it would make it better&mash;! I-I suppose if people are happy with what they're doing, though, then that's what matters in the end...

[this is so awkward, it's time to change the subject away from furries]

Anyway!! Um. I'm... I'll be helping with the cooking, to try to see what I can do even if my augment is just communications.

[frigidaire]

Yeah, right, happiness...

[ it's still weird, but he appreciates the subject change, especially when it gets to the topic of food. ] You cook? Thank god, no one here knows what they're doing. And the food here is terrible.

[ god he's so sick of gels and powders okay. ]

[seasidelove]

I'm not the best, but I'll have to see what I can do...

It may be impossible, though, if it's all gel and powdered things.

[frigidaire]

I mean, there are other things but it's not like any of us on this ship are any good at making things taste good. Jade can grow vegetables, and Octavia did some hunting on the last planet. There are things to work with, anyway.

[ sorry, he's just excited about real food, okay. ]
