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.]

This is actually only the second time Kaworu's been back to the Vanquish since departing for his friend's ship and deciding to just hang around there instead. His engineering augment hasn't made him particularly loyal to his ship, and he doesn't mind being an interloper to the Heron if it means keeping Shinji from total despair. His best friend's shattered state is largely Kaworu's own fault, so he feels guilty enough to do anything.

Still, he's found it prudent to pop back in here and there in order to get things like clothes and hygiene products... which is exactly what he's doing now. With his arms full of nondescript space stuff — jumpsuits, toothpaste, the like — Kaworu happens upon Micah as he approaches the medical bay with the purpose of pilfering the store of sleep aids. Though he honestly could not care less about his alleged responsibilities to the Vanquish, Kaworu likes people, and this is one he hasn't met before... so he's wholly friendly, even familiar, despite the fact he hasn't been around at all since Micah's arrival here.

"Hello," he says pleasantly. He's a slight boy with a chalky complexion, though he manages to seem healthy rather than sickly. His face looks like it was created specifically with kindness in mind. "We haven't met yet. Oh, would you mind me moving past?"

It's been a few days, and Micah's had some time to settle in to this weird new life he's found himself thrown into. He's adaptive by nature, and while large in scope, this is still just another bend in the road before him. It's fine; he can handle this.

He does here what he always does when circumstances shift the ground under his feet - he creates structure, a familiar pattern to follow in the progression of the day. Part of that pattern now involves time spent in the medical bay, taking inventory of supplies, learning what his implant has to show him.

He thought he met all his crewmates already by now, though. But that's fine; the more the merrier, right? He gives Kaworu an acknowledging nod and steps out of his way. "Yeah, I'm new here. Micah. You need a hand with anything?"
