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.]

A year...and Max has been here for six months.

Have people been here longer than that?

The earliest I know of? Only two or three months before me. You're probably in for the long haul.

[She's young, she probably thinks she has a big long life ahead of her.]

If it's any consolation, I don't think people actually age. I haven't found a single gray hair since I got here.
helladoomed: (You can't be serious.)

[personal profile] helladoomed 2016-02-10 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'd heard the not aging thing, but she didn't know what to think of it.]

Long haul sounds good. I think I'll aim for that.
merchantprince: (♪ like the nagging flesh of insight)

[personal profile] merchantprince 2016-02-15 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Shit, really? You don't want to go home or anything?

[That's unusual, and now he's fixing her with a curious look.]
helladoomed: (Just chillin')

[personal profile] helladoomed 2016-02-15 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Slow shrug.]

Doesn't really matter what I want.
merchantprince: (♪ it may be quite simple)

[personal profile] merchantprince 2016-02-17 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a weird answer.]

Oh, but it does! You're an adult, aren't you? You never know the kind of weird shit that happens here. You might actually have a choice at some point, or you might not. The freedom is in the choosing.
helladoomed: (Better step back bitch)

[personal profile] helladoomed 2016-02-18 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She huffed out a breath and shook her head.]

None of that shit actually matters because I can't go back.

[He should be able to figure this out.]
merchantprince: (♪ and this one's for you)

[personal profile] merchantprince 2016-02-23 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He picks up on that, finally. Can't, as opposed to won't. His eyebrows shoot up, and then he is quiet for a moment.]

Shit... I'm sorry.

[He rubs at his nose. This is awkward.]

In that case, live it up. You'll hear nothing from me.
helladoomed: (Chit chattering)

[personal profile] helladoomed 2016-02-23 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's the plan.

[She grinned, but this time it didn't reach her eyes. She was dealing with way more than she was really prepared to, which meant a lot of things were being repressed.]

I mean, I can think of worse places to be than space. And my best friend is here, so...

[She was pretty sure that she deserved a lot worse than this.]
