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.]

Fair warning, it's mostly gel. We got a few better options aboard the Wonderslop, but powdered eggs and milk are still pretty dubious in my opinion. That like. A step below milk in bags.

[Sorry, Canada.]

[seasidelove]

... Gel?

We have to eat powdered eggs and milk and gel?

[jesus christ the cooking situation was worse than she thought]

[feathery]

Yup, flavored gel. I bet the drinks are even liquefied gel; some of it smells suspicious enough. Just gonna warn you against the chicken gel, specifically, unless you're into the slimy texture.

[The face she's making right now is the worst face as she imagines this stuff.]

I... this is terrible.

[feathery]

Yeah, it's a tragedy of fucking prodigious proportions. Please save us.

[seasidelove]

I'm not sure if I can...

But I will try. For the sake of something edible!

[feathery]

Hell yeah. I'll contribute the corn chips. You do have Doritos where you're from, right.

[seasidelove]

Of course we do! I don't eat them very often, but they're popular on my planet.

[feathery]

What's your planet.

[seasidelove]

Uhm. It's Akibastar?

[feathery]

...Ok, that's a new one.

[Genuinely surprised it isn't a variation of Earth, tbh.]

Does everyone look like they stepped out of the animes there.

[seasidelove]

I... I don't know? I don't think so. No one's ever asked that sort of thing before.

[look she's just a main character and that's why she gets to look all anime davesprite]

[feathery]

But you've got anime.

[Is that a question? Where does he keep putting all of these question marks???]

[seasidelove]

Y...es...?

[He wins the "most confusing person of the day" award.]

[feathery]

[Much better than the "furry porn" award, tbh.]

Oh. Weird. I guess anime is one of those universal constants that shows up more often than not. The matching hair and eyes are hella protag material, though, so. Uh. Congrats on that.

[seasidelove]

[That's really not a high bar, though. But it's still way better.]

Thank... you? I think. I'm not really the protagonist type at all, though!

[feathery]

I guess you do look pretty young for a protagonist. Usually everyone in animeland looks like they're in their early twenties, according to artistic representation. Even when they're like. Fourteen.

[seasidelove]

I'm only thirteen. ... Or maybe I'm fourteen now? I'm not entirely sure...

[But either way, she's shrugging even if Davesprite can't necessarily see her.]

But still, even if I were the right age to be a protagonist I still wouldn't be!

[feathery]

Why not. I mean not that I can blame you, I would flip protagonism the fuckin' bird if I had the credentials necessary for that kind of role in the first place, but that's still pretty adamant refusal. Usually takes a little longer to get that jaded.

[seasidelove]

It's not that I'm jaded, I just don't think my personality suits it at all.

[feathery]

That's an awfully protagonist thing to say.
