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.]

[The ship just keeps changing, doesn't it? Qing himself spots the blonde on his way to the kitchens (he has his own room for now, but it's always quieter there somehow) with a book in one hand.

His head tilts up as he looks her over - mostly, he looks up at everyone, being all of five feet tall - and his smile is soft, without any sort of critical edge.]

Ah... you're another newcomer to the ship, aren't you? Are you settling in alright?

[moonofmylife]

I hope it isn't too obvious.

[Considering she's wearing clothes from home (until she has to wear the awful ship garments) Dany shouldn't be surprised she sticks out.]

I am well, thank you.

[And trying to find her place on this flying metal vessel, as it was.]

[shoujoreject]

It isn't uncomfortably so, but I think Mal was the only lady on the ship previously.

[He laughs and lowers his book fully, and even now is still clad in his usual dress (he would rather wash the dress every other day than be stuck in said awful ship garments, all told).]

More, our ship is pretty small and it's changed a lot in the couple of months I've been here. It's pretty confusing at first, figuring everything out.

Um... I'm Qing-Yuan. Qing is fine if that's easier, though.

[moonofmylife]

I'm not unaccustomed to being surrounded by men, or living in uncomfortably cramped spaces. Though I do miss the open air and dirt under my feet at times.

[She smiles, tilting her head a bit to try and get a look at the book in his hand.]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Daenerys.

[And with introductions out of the way, she has to ask.]

I find myself curious about your book, Qing.

[shoujoreject]

The good thing about that is at least there's some dirt to be found. There's a garden on the Iskaulit.

[Oh. He glances down at it again, then turns it upward, so that the title is visible.]

It's a medical textbook. I know most of the details about the human body by now, but it doesn't ever hurt to review, especially as the ship's doctor.

[moonofmylife]

You're the ship's maester? But you're.... so young.

[Excuse her surprise Qing. She doesn't mean to offend, honest! Where she's from maesters study for years and years.]

[shoujoreject]

[Laughing a bit, he shakes his head. In fairness, he wouldn't have chosen it for himself, either.]

Well, despite how I look, I am twenty-one... but that's not really why I was chosen, I think. As I understand it, one of the ships' doctors is seven. It's something chosen when we arrive, based on these... implants, I suppose.

[He reaches back and runs his fingers along the small piece of material, a feeling that's become oddly familiar in these last months.]

[moonofmylife]

Ah, yes. That does make sense then.

[However, it's a surprise that this one is actually older than she! She's only a girl of 18 or so.]

I apologize for mistaking you.

[She won't say that she thought he was a child at first, or perhaps it was just by the fact that he had such youthful energy around him or something of that sort.]

[shoujoreject]

You don't need to apologise, by any means. I'm used to being presumed a girl, and about twelve years old at that.

[It's okay, Dany. He's very aware of his appearance.]
