Uh, it's just Isaac.

[ He doesn't exactly understand the formalities, and thinks maybe she misheard his name somehow. Isaac shrugs it off either way. ]

It's easy to get lost. I still do sometimes. [ It's easy to get turned around when so many of the corridors look exactly the same. ] Let me put this stuff away. [ He moves to the door for his room -- they're hatches and lead down into the rooms and he kicks his own open. ] Don't fall in when you get to your room -- it's gonna happen, but you'll get used to it. [ Once he deposits his food and drink in his room, he climbs back out. ] So, yeah. Our rooms are weird, but yours is probably around here somewhere. Just gotta find which one they gave you. It's quiet around here, mostly, so.

[She frowns at that, looking a tad uncomfortable.] Isn't that what I...? [oh. the '-san.'] It's an honorific. You add it to everyone's names. I don't know how old you are, and you've been on this ship longer than me, so I guess technically you're still my superior...

[She could call him 'senpai' but. Nah.

Get used to falling into her room?? Great. She keeps her expression neutral, peering curiously into the hole as he descends] Quiet's good, right? [Though maybe a little boring, but after the weird twists and turns of her life lately--not even counting the whole alien kidnapping thing-- she'd be pretty okay with boring for a while.]

I'm eighteen, but I'm pretty sure there's no superior here except the captain, but even he's a bird dude who doesn't want to be it. It's not like anything really important happens here anyway.

[ He shrugs. ] But you can just call me Isaac. Not that... other stuff. [ A shrug, and he might even smile a tiny bit, because she looks lost. He'd felt like that, too. ] Yeah pretty good -- it can get really boring, though. We have some games and stuff we can play but you can only do that for so long. [ He guides her to the kitchen. ]

And ask around before you make any food -- there are some combinations that work, and some that seriously don't.

Ah, I'm nineteen. [This is just making her wonder how young most of the crews run. The other people she met all seemed to be older-- was Wonderduck just different, or...?]

Bird dude... [There's a lot of information here that she's once again not sure where to start] I don't know. I think boring can be nice; especially right now. With everything else going on, I'd welcome a long breather.

[Okay that's sort of a lie. She'd rather be home knee-deep in the ghost shit she was in before and getting that done with than here but. You know. Whatever.]

I really only know how to make coffee anyhow. But.. What do you mean? [She glances around the kitchen, suddenly skeptical and a little wary. Were the appliances going to malfunction for no reason other than whacky kitchen hijinks for the viewers at home??]

Yeah it's okay at first, and the planets aren't that bad but we've been on this moon forever.

[ It feels like forever to a werewolf, anyway! Isaac gestures to the two machines in the room. ] One's good for drinks, that's pretty easy. The other one has the gel and powdered food. They're not all that great on their own, I guess. So you just have to mix stuff until it tastes like food from home. It can go really, really wrong sometimes.

[ He winces, remembering his own mishaps in the kitchen. God, the gel food is gross. ] You can usually buy food or hunt and stuff on the planets though.
