Who: Euphemia li Britannia and everyone else ever!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Bloodsport
When: Nowish or maybe laterish

[Action]
[Euphie is still picking confetti out of her long, pink hair as she curiously explores the new ship. She stops in front of one of the fish bowls complete with glowing fish inside and her eyes widen in delight and she clasps her hands together.] Hello! Is anyone else here with us, Mr. Fish? [And then, to be polite, she puffs out her cheeks as is the way of the fish.]

[Video]
Hello, everyone! Please excuse me for being rude by not addressing you all sooner. I was very surprised by, well, everything. [She smiles warmly even if she can't see the people she's addressing just yet.] My name is Euphemia li Britannia, but you're welcome to call me Euphie. I've already learned some of the basics about this place and I understand I'm here as a cook? I've never done that before, but I hope to do my best!

[It's not all smiles and bouncy pink hair. Dealing with the reality of suddenly being taken away just as she felt so close to giving the people of Area 11 something important and finding a space where her family could finally be together along with her knight was hard and not over, but she wants to be brave and hopeful. Other people must feel the same way she does, and maybe in this way she can help them too.]

Since I don't need to ask you those questions, maybe we can just get to know each other. What's your name and what's your favorite part about being here? So far, for me, it's getting to see the stars like this. I remember lying out on the grass when I was young staring up at them and it always felt like a sparkling blanket.

Comments

[namisan]

[Nami finds Euphemia by the simple act of ...uh. Following a sparse trail of confetti until she finds a complete stranger talking to one of the fish.]

Huh. We haven't had any newcomers for a while. Welcome aboard?

[Well, Rey did vanish. Guess it was just a matter of time.]

[prettyimpulsive]

[She turns at the sound of the voice and smiles, not looking at all embarrassed for conversing with a fish.] Hello. Thank you. I knew we'd be assigned new ships. I didn't realize it would be so sudden or festive.

[namisan]

[It's fine it's fine she's lived with weirder.] Yeah, they tend to like surprising you.

I'm Nami. Captain of the Bloodsport. There's a few empty bedrooms you can choose from, just take your pick. Any questions I can answer?

[prettyimpulsive]

They've done their job well then. I don't think I've stopped being surprised since I arrived. I'm pleased to meet you Captain Nami of... Ah, did you say Bloodsport? [She doesn't like that name at all. Is there any chance she misheard it?]

[namisan]

[It might be reassuring, then, when Nami makes a face as she repeats it back.] Yeah. Not my choice of a name. All the ships are named by the Atroma.

If you think about it, you'll find you have some cooking knowledge in your head know. As it is we don't have much to work with most of the time, so you should be fine.

_{[ He gave her an encouraging smile. ]}

I'm James Tiberius Kirk, but you can call me Jim, and I suppose the people is my favorite part. I would never have met half of them if I hadn't come here, so if there's a silver lining, it has to be that.

How does it feel to go from a blanket to being dropped in an ocean?

[prettyimpulsive]

I look forward to the people becoming my favorite part too. It's off to a good start with you, Jim. [She smiles back at him as she considers his question.]

It's a little overwhelming if I'm honest. [If she's honest it's a LOT overwhelming. She's done difficult things outside her comfort zone before certainly, but it was at least within the wheelhouse of what she understood reality to be.]

[universal_charm]

_{[ He made a quiet sound of sympathy. ]}

It can be, I know. Just think of it as a new adventure in every direction - something just waiting to be discovered.

video;

[prettyimpulsive]

Yes, I'd like to focus on something like that.

Although... Is there any way to know how people are back home? I was about to do something very important.

[tempredmental]

[Her rather cheerful outlook and almost semi-formal way of speaking caught Keith's attention. It was like listening to Allura, in a way. He flipped on the video.]

You seem to have a pretty good attitude about this.

Euphie, right? I'm Keith.

video

[prettyimpulsive]

Hello, Keith. I'm pleased to meet you. I must admit, I did spend some time adjusting before contacting everyone like this. I'm not sure my attitude was as good my first couple of days. [It wasn't that bad either, but she was very confused and concerned. She still is, but she's choosing to do the best she can with that.]

But I think you might be trying to get out of my question. [She smiles pleasantly.]

Re: video

[tempredmental]

Yeah, it was kind of a shock to wake up here.

[He sighed a little.]

Honestly? I haven't really found anything that I could consider my favorite thing, yet. There are some good things, I guess, but I'd still rather be back home.

[Keith had never really felt homesick before, but he was beginning to wonder if what he was feeling these past few days was it. He'd started to look at the Castle as his home, really, and their little patched together team as almost a family. It was something he hadn't had... not for a long time. And now it had been taken from him.

It was hard to think about what his favorite thing here might be when all the things he really wanted were back there.]

video

[prettyimpulsive]

Are you a newer arrival too? [That would make that comment less sad at least. Not that it isn't understandable. It's hard to be away from family like this.]

[stoccado]

[Oh wow she's pretty. ... is Asuna's first thought.

She smiles and waves at the camera in a return greeting.]

Hi, Euphie. I'm Asuna, and I'm a cook, too. I can show you some things if you'd like.

[prettyimpulsive]

[While blue hair is nothing to be surprised about for Euphie she does look curious seeing the other girl's ears. Some sort of false ones for a costume maybe?]

Oh! That would be wonderful. I would very much appreciate it and I'm sure my crew would too. I can feel that I know things about it now, but I've never cooked anything at all before.

[stoccado]

[It's complicated, okay.]

Really? It's a hobby of mine, and I think it's very fun! You get to create so many different things, the possibilities seem almost endless.

[prettyimpulsive]

[Ears always are.]

I have always liked eating. I suppose I'm half way there. [Except not really.] It's very nice of you to offer. Which ship are you on?

video.

[throwsdown]

Phew, I'm glad you got a nickname. That's a mouthful!

[omg takeshi-]

I'm Captain Takeshi! This...

[He grunts, and suddenly a fuzzy little panda is pulled up into his arms.]

...is Hoi Hoi! Welcome to the Fleet!!

video.

[prettyimpulsive]

A captain? [But you're so young! Even her father tends to keep his children out of military service until they're at least a teenager. But there is no time to worry about that now. DO YOU SEE WHAT HE HAS? She gasps lightly.]

Oh, hello to both of you! He's so cute! [They both are.]

video.

[throwsdown]

[He nods, affirming. A captain!!]

Thanks! He used t'be a lot bigger, but when he got brought here he was small again.

[He's the Groot of the Fleet, obviously.]

He can be a real handful, but I'm glad I got 'em here.

video.

[prettyimpulsive]

They can do that? [It's such a bizarre thing to hear, but yes, of course, she heard people can come from different times. This shouldn't be a surprise!]

Well, yes, I can see why. I wouldn't want to be parted from him either. And it's so nice to meet you, Captain Takeshi. Which ship are you the captain of? [She already met hers.]

1/2

[collegedropout]

[Sam is walking by rubbing one eye, hair slightly disheveled, as she comes to the Bloodsport. He is kinda actually heading to the bathroom first after a bit of an overkill night where he had been compiling a ton of information about the latest pit stop the fleet's taken at these asteroids —

He stops, blinking at her.

Yeah, some tall dude in his pajamas is your welcoming party after Nami.]

....... We have a new crew member?

[collegedropout]

[OH IT'S A NEW CREW MEMBER FUCK

He fixes his hair a bit by swishing a hand through it and straightens himself up.]

I mean — hi! Hey, welcome to the ship. Um. Aah, sorry, I must've slept past the shuffle.

I'm Sam, communications officer.

[prettyimpulsive]

[She laughs softly, a hand up in front of her mouth to be polite at his surprise. It's nice to know she's not the only one caught off guard in this place.] Yes, I'm Euphemia li Britannia, chef. That sounds very strange to say. Oh, and Euphie is plenty.

[collegedropout]

[He grins.]

A chef, huh? Are you usually a chef, or are the Atroma doing their usual thing of sending people to random stations?
