Chocolate-flavored Dessert Cream on the House

[thespaceopera]

[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.]

[ Sam's a tricky case. And Dean knows all about it, lived with the guy pretty much his whole life. Problem is, Sam apologizes for things he shouldn't because they aren't his fault, and nobody could've helped them... but he apologizes for what he should too, and for doing things he should've never done to start with. "The road to Hell," like they say. And Sam doesn't just walk that road; he drives thirty over the whole way. It's not like Dean walks the straight and narrow himself, but compared to Sam? Sam's done things sober that even Dean would never dream of doing, not without black eyes or the Mark of Cain on his arm. Sometimes, Sam scares him. He's done the kind of things you can't apologize away.

But that's family business, anyway. From what Makie's saying, if Sam did anything he shouldn't've in that Adstrigium place, at least she didn't know about it. And Dean's just going to assume that "cares so much about" part was because they're brothers and Sam was looking for him, not because of anything he said. ]

Yeah, he's a good kid.

[ Dean says. Because despite it all, he still believes it, always will, and loves the hell out of him. Sam doesn't have the best taste in friends either most of the time, but so far Makie seems alright. ]

If you've got any embarrassing stories from that place, you know I'm all ears for them.

[ He grins. Because what good is it meeting all of your little brother's friends if you can't get some ammunition out of them? ]

[True enough. Unlike certain redheads, Makie only knows that Sam is gentle and kind and would probably be more than a little disconcerted if she knew any more about him than that. Also, that he makes a cute kid. She makes a small, amused sound at the thought, given the embarrassing stories line from Dean.

But sadly for him, Makie's just too polite to go around embarrassing people she respects.]

I'm afraid I don't know any. I imagine that in the time we've known each other, I have been far more embarrassing than your brother.

[She kind of shares that whole self-deprecation thing in common with him, though. But that's at least a product of her upbringing. Outcast women should be seen and not heard, all that jazz.]

[ You're too nice for your own good, Makie. And Dean doesn't really want to embarrass somebody he just met, so he doesn't ask. ]

Eh, it's just a matter of time. Hang around him enough, you'll get some good ones.

[ He glances over his shoulder briefly, thinking about the space station, before he turns back to ask. ]

You eat meat, right? You're not one of those vegetarians, are you? Food restrictions? Allergies to shellfish?

[ Like it or not, he's bringing you back dinner. He was planning to before, but for a friend of Sam's? Now it's just a given. ]
