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.]

We kill darkspawn, evil things that come out of the ground.

[ He rattles that off like he's done it about a hundred times by now. ]

[lord_wizard]

[He gives Alistair a purposefully blank stare for a few beats]

...clearly you've never had to teach anything to anyone. I assume darkspawn are some kind of monster?

[theirinurpants]

I did explain. They're evil things that come out of the ground. There's really not much more to tell. They're ugly, and evil, and destory everything they touch.

[lord_wizard]

Good enough reason to fight, I suppose. [Which doesn't really explain much, still, but it's a point he's decided to accede to Alistair]

What I am trying to ask, is have you tried learning anything other than hitting things with sharp sticks?

[theirinurpants]

I do have an education, you know. I can read and write, I know maths and history and geography and theology. Why?

[lord_wizard]

Because you seem rather fixated on the fighting part of your skillset and I was attempting to suggest another one your might pursue while we're here. Something to take your mind off all the metal?

[He could be helpful without being aggravating, but Alistair makes it too easy]

But there...which of those do you enjoy the most? What interests you?

[theirinurpants]

I don't know? I haven't given it much thought.

[lord_wizard]

[Powers]

Well...consider the fact that you now have the time to do so.

[theirinurpants]

[ Dryly: ] Yay.

[lord_wizard]

When you go stir crazy once we leave port, don't blame me.

[theirinurpants]

You mean, I haven't already? Because I have.

[lord_wizard]

Well, I don't precisely have any basis for comparison.
