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.]

Wouldn't expect any less.

[ Instinctively, he wonders how he'd even kill her if he wanted to. Bullets must pass right through her. But then she's not falling through the floor now, which means she probably controls it. Get in close and surprise her with it, then.

Dean has no intentions of killing her, but it's comforting to plan it out, anyway, whatever that says about him. Beats cigarettes, though it falls short of a hard shot of something strong. After a beat, he adds. ]

Thanks. For telling me, being honest about it. You didn't have to, and you knew how I'd react. That takes guts.

Life's hard enough. No reason to make it harder by pretending to be someone you're not.

[Though as she relaxes some, she does appreciate the compliment part of that.] And we're crewmates now. Maybe not by choice, but we're in whatever this is together.

[ To the fist thing, Dean shrugs. He's practically made a living out of pretending to be different people. With strangers? It's a hell of a lot easier than telling the truth, most of the time. Even the fact that she knows he's a hunter makes his skin feel itchy. But she's right in another way. With people you really know... Yeah, keeping things is a problem. Dean does it anyway, but it doesn't exactly end good most of the time. So he can't really blame her.

Anyway, what she says after that, he can agree with, no stopping. ]

Yeah, I hear you.

[ And so does everyone else on the ship who's paying any attention, since this is a public video feed. Dean forgot all about that little fact. Probably should've figured out how to private these things, like Sam did. Damn it. So much for hiding. He clears his throat. ]

Alright, I'm gonna go see what this, uh, space station thing is all about. You need anything, you know how to reach me. You get into any trouble, you call.

[ They're crewmates, like she said. And he likes her. Maybe she's got someone better to go to, but the offer's still on the table if she wants it. ]

[This is going to be an interesting relationship, isn't it? Kitty's good with that. The anger and irritation from the for has faded into nothing for the moment.] I'll probably be out there soon too. Same goes for you, Dean.

[It is more likely she'd go to Rogue or one of the other X-Men who aren't her X-Men if there was trouble, but the offer means something. Which is good since they might be spending a lot of time together between stops at least.]

[ Yeah, he'd go to his family before he'd go to her too, but it can't hurt to have somebody on your side who's close as on the same ship. Dean doesn't know if he can really trust her or not, but it seems like a good bet. If she's reliable, she's the kind of person he'd like having on his side.

Also the passing through walls thing is freaking awesome. ]

Right. See you around, Kitty.

[ With a curt nod, he disconnects the feed. ]
