Broadcast

[After waking up in what is apparently his new room, he spends only enough time to figure out if he's some sort of prisoner before he decides he can just sort of ask people what is up here. Because yeah he's gotten some explanations but it's one thing to show up right when there's dream rooms and then suddenly arriving here. Like nothing happened.

And so there's a red head on the screen.]

Hey, so should I be expecting the waking up in different places every few days thing to happen all the time? Because that's one I can do without. Weird though it might be I like having a consistent place to sleep in.

[He shrugs and smiles.]

Anyway, the name's Lea. Looks like I'm stuck here now and I got assigned to be on the Tourist.

[He fishes some extra confetti out of his hair.]

Nice greeting though. Buuuuut I'm not volunteering for clean up.


Tourist

[And then it's time for him to make himself familiar with his new ship. He's been on ships in the past when visiting other worlds but this one has a different layout. Almost like he's in some kind of maze based on how cramped it feels. Though he appreciates the high ceilings. That's a bonus when you're tall.

But expect him to poke his head in basically every room at least once. You can't get to know a place if you don't at least see what's in a room, you know. And maybe he's a bit nosy too. It's a bad habit of his, one he's never really bothered to break.

Just don't mind that he looks almost suspicious being a guy in a long black trench coat though. He's fine. Really.]


Iskaulit

[Honestly the same happens with Iskaulit. If he sees a door then he pokes his nose in. Though in this case it's more because he's finding that there's so much going on that it's easier to become lost. Sure he could focus the whole attack stuff he remembers going on but honestly? He's going to keep himself out of trouble until he knows what is going on. That world order stuff that he's been learning about. He doesn't know what goes on with this one yet and he's been disarmed.

It's crazy.

But yeah. He's a little lost on such a big ship and so the best way to get unlost is to start memorizing landmarks. Shipmarks in this case. So please don't mind him as he goes poking his nose around here too. He's just curious.]

[Kitty pauses when she sees the video, recognizing or thinking she recognized the person speaking from meeting him a long time ago in Marina. In fact, he was the first person she met when she was a brand new abductee to the abductee by mysterious overlord lifestyle. She might have tried to kill him. Misunderstanding. She was a little more severe and caustic back then. Bygones.]

You know, for a guy named Lea you look a lot like a guy named Axel I met once. [But honestly, she doens't entirely expect him to have an explanation for that because, well, sometimes people just look like other people and they're not. It's one of the charmingly bizarre things about this life.]

[gotitmmrizd]

That's my old name. Now I'm human again so the name's Lea.

[He taps his head and smiles.]

Got it memorized?

[He shrugs after that.]

It's a long story. Seriously, I can barely keep it straight and I'm the guy having to live it.

[passingthrough]

So it was you? Wait, do you remember me? Were you in Marina too?

[gotitmmrizd]

Never met you. Can't say I've been there either. Which sucks because I don't ever want to forget anyone that I've met. Kinda kills the whole memorizing bit if I just forget things.

[He sighs.]

Guess we're starting over. So, I'm Lea. And you are...?

[keythatconnects]

[Sora is in such a rush to reply to this that he ends up tripping over his feet and so for a moment Lea just hears him yelp and sees the ceiling and the wall and then there's Sora's face, clearly angled so he can just point the camera at himself while still on the ground.]

Axel! Er, sorry, Lea! I can't believe you're here!

[gotitmmrizd]

Uhhhhhhh...

[Did Sora just...trip? Is that him...on the floor?]

Yoooou okay there, Sora? And yeah. I'm definitely here.

[keythatconnects]

[It is indeed him, and he pushes himself up from the ground to sit and look at Lea with a big grin on his face.]

I can't believe it. You're the first person I've seen from home for a long time.

Where are you? Which ship?

[gotitmmrizd]

[Okay he has to laugh a bit. That's definitely Sora.]

The Tourist. Guess I'm a Communications Officer now or something like that.

[theirondragon]

[He digs the hair, big guy, and the attitude, but he knows a coping mechanism when he sees it. That's not a bad thing, by the way. Careful nonchalance is actually one of the healthier ways of dealing.]

Hey, Lea. Name's The Iron Bull. Try the pudding, though. The chocolate's not half bad.

[gotitmmrizd]

[Green eyes widen for a moment before he relaxes back into a smile.]

Horny kind of guy, huh?

[Yeah. He couldn't stop himself. Anyway...]

I'm all for some chocolate pudding. It's not sea salt ice cream but I'm not gonna complain.

[theirondragon]

Jealous? I know. It's a hell of a rack.

[Do you really want to get this guy started, Lea?]

Ice cream's supposed to be sweet. There's something messed up about sea salt.

[gotitmmrizd]

Can't say I'm jealous. I don't want to imagine having to go through doors with those.

[Yes. Apparently he does want to start this. He's in this now.]

Now, see...that's where you're missing things, Iron Bull. It's salty AND sweet. In all the right ways.

[Things may really, really suck lately, but it won't stop Lance from throwing himself into ways to keep busy. Greeting new arrivals is definitely on the list.]

Nah, you just showed up at a weird time. You should be waking up in the same bed every day now. I mean, you know, as long as you don't fall asleep anywhere else.

[gotitmmrizd]

Well that's a relief. I'd rather make myself comfortable in a single bed instead of having to make a new one comfortable over and over again.

[He can live with what's going on right now. At least until he can figure out how to get back.]

I can deal with weird at least. That's pretty normal for me.

[the_tailor]

You too, huh? I mean, I guess that applies to a lot of people here. There aren't many people aboard this fleet who came from boring, average, everyday lives. Everyone's got a crazy story. It makes things a lot more interesting, at least.

[gotitmmrizd]

I used to have a boring, average, everyday life. But it's been a long time since then. These days it's gotten to the point where telling my story is more headache than anything else.

[postocular]

I'm with you in needing a constant place to sleep. Moving around blows. Welcome to the fleet, Lea.

[gotitmmrizd]

That's a good way of putting it. And thanks. Not my usual way of doing things but I guess I live here for now. Might as well start making friends, right?

[postocular]

It's actually not that bad? Compared to a lot of places, this place isn't the worst shithole to be.

Le Tourist

<sub>[ When one pokes head into rooms, sometimes said rooms are occupied - as Kirk's was, when Lea poked his head in. Thankfully, he was dressed, unlike the time Kitty had done the same thing. He had a slug on one shoulder, idly waving his fingers against the feathery feelers as he sat on his bed, flipping through a journal.

He looked up when Lea's head appeared in all its spiked, fiery glory, and smiled. ]</sub>

Are you my new crew member then?

[gotitmmrizd]

[This one is bigger than the other rooms so he's guessing captain's room. And that must definitely be the captain. With...a...fuzzy worm thing on his shoulder.

Well, he can say he's actually see weirder so he'll roll with it and smile with a wave.]

So that's what's behind this door. You should put labels around until I get this memorized.

[He'll lean further in and over a waver.]

The name's Lea. I'm your new Communications Officer or something like that. Can't say that's ever really been my style but I figure I can make it work.

[universal_charm]

Or one can try knocking.

_{[ He raised a brow, but otherwise didn't seem bothered by the situation. ]}

Don't know that Atroma is ever to concerned with our personal styles, but glad to have you aboard.

_{[ He closed the book and stood up, motioning for Lea to come further in even as he held out his hand, the slug riding the motions easily on his shoulder. ]}

James Tiberius Kirk, but feel free to call me Jim. I'm the Captain and an Engineer. And this is Azul.

_{[ He nodded his cheek toward his slug with a little smile, the feelers twitching in Lea's directly, lazily curious. ]}

[worn_wings]

[ It's not the trenchcoat or the hair that makes Daryl squint at him suspiciously when Lea happens to open the door to his room. It's a little bit more that he's new, but it's mostly that Daryl is inherently suspicious of everyone.

He just sits where he is and stares, waiting for an explanation for the interruption. Hi Lea, meet your friendly shipmate.]

[gotitmmrizd]

I guess yoooou're in this one.

[He's rather used to dealing with not so friendly types. Which means he just gives a big a smile and a wave at the guy in the room.]

Well, I'll go look to see who lives in the other rooms and leave you to your brooding. Bye?

[Yeah... He's going to just peace out now. This is just a little bit awkward for his tastes.]

[worn_wings]

[ awkward is daryl's middle name, probably. ]

You new on the ship?

[ Could just be visiting. If he's an actual newcomer, that's definitely worth knowing. ]
