action

[Appearing on the bridge in a shower of confetti with some chocolate pudding in her hand was a bit... odd. And very startling. She hadn't had much time on the Marsiva to come to terms with her new situation before she was suddenly here. Be prepared for a small freak out, Red Fish.

Later, she could be found exploring the ship and familiarizing herself with everything she needed to know, including that new Personnel office that apparently was hers?

Welp. How was that supposed to work?]

Oh... it's on. Hi! I'm Minako Aino, and I'm apparently the new personnel officer on the Red Fish? [She paused, staring at the small device for a moment, muttering a little quietly.] I don't fully know what that means... [And then she looked surprised suddenly as she realized that she hadn't sent this to just the Red Fish crew.]

Oh! Oops. [She laughed nervously.] I meant to just send this to my own crew, but it looks like I sent it to everyone. Sorry about that!

[And she was gone again... Did she disconnect on purpose or by accident?!]

Comments

[wakemelater]

[He waits until she's had time to settle in some before approaching. He's glad the ship has gained more crew, but three at once is unexpected.]

Welcome aboard.

[child_of_luv]

Oh! Thanks. [She gave him a quick smile.] I think. I mean... really, how welcoming can being kidnapped and forced into some weird TV game show be, right? But I appreciate the thought all the same.

[wakemelater]

[His lips twitch in what might be a return smile. Look, he doesn't do it a lot, smiling.]

You kinda forget about the TV part after a while. [Like blocking out that the gods could peek in on his life at any time. Ignore it.]

What augment did you get?

[child_of_luv]

[Minako nodded about the forgetting part. She supposed that was true...]

I'm personnel? But I'm not sure what that means.

[wakemelater]

That's why the office showed up.

[He says it mostly to himself. From his snooping, he's picked up a little that may be helpful.]

I think it means you have some room to decide. Counseling? Or teaching? Something along those lines.

[child_of_luv]

[She looked a little confused for a moment, and then glanced back at the office.]

You mean, this wasn't here before?

[Oh... those options... For a moment, she considered them. She wasn't sure about teaching, but... counseling... would that be like... love advice? She immediately brightened.]

Of course! That's it! That's why I was picked for this!

Why, Atroma must have heard about my supreme matchmaking skills, and figured I would be the best person to bring some love to this Fleet! This is perfect!

Action

[stillgotmyleftarm]

[Bucky eventually finds her in the personnel office, knocking on the doorframe as he comes in.]

Beats me what the hell a personnel officer is really supposed to do around here, either, but - figure it helps if you know who the personnel are.

[He reaches out a hand.] Bucky Barnes.

Re: Action

[child_of_luv]

[She turned around and then smiled brightly.]

You're probably right.

[There was a moment of hesitation and then she shook his hand in return. Right... that was a thing in western cultures. She gave him a small polite bow.]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Barnes.

(you can never have too many introductions~)

[stillgotmyleftarm]

Same, [he says, because it is, even if they're both, y'know, kidnapped.] Looks like I'm the pilot - but I'm pretty new, too.

You just, uh - got here? The whole thing, [he clarifies, waving his hand a little to indicate not just Red Fish, but this situation in general.]

^_^;;;

[child_of_luv]

Yup. Brand new. [She giggled a bit.]

So, a pilot, huh? Do you fly back home?

<333!

[stillgotmyleftarm]

[Bucky laughs a little, despite himself.] Crash, is more like it.

I can fly a quinjet, but it's not the same. [He ends up reaching one hand to the back of his neck, rubbing at a spot and frowning a little.] So - shortest answer, not really. And not anything like a spaceship.

I guess that isn't reassuring.

[child_of_luv]

Ah... not really. [She gave him a sheepish look.]

But, I think that's what the augments are for, right?

video

[theladyofwinterfell]

The video system is quite difficult to work if you're not used to it. It took me many weeks to figure it out myself, honestly, so no apology is necessary on my part.

( Sansa gives her a sweet smile, wanting to give put her at ease. )

My name is Sansa Stark, Minako. Welcome aboard.

Re: video

[child_of_luv]

Thank you for understanding. Video phones are kind of an advanced and special thing back home. Not really something everyone has, you know? [She poked her fingers together for a second, almost like she was debating something to say next, and then nodded her head in a quick bow. After all, it wasn't like Sansa would see a full one.]

It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Stark.

[theladyofwinterfell]

It's my pleasure, I assure you. We don't have video phones at all where I come from, actually. We communicate solely by words on paper and if you need them to go quickly, you attach them to a raven or send it by courier. It took me a long time to learn this.

( She's better at it now, of course, but it's taken her quite a long time to learn the intricacies of it. )

[child_of_luv]

Oh, wow. [Minako's eyes widened at that.] Really? I'm a little further along than that. [Well... a lot.] But this is way more advanced than I'm used to.

[theladyofwinterfell]

Ah, well, you're already doing better than I am! It could be much worse, I assure you. ( Sansa smiles a bit. )

I should ask you for lessons.

[child_of_luv]

Well, I definitely don't mind sharing what I do know, even if it might not be much.

[appletart]

Oh! [ The video's gone again! ... Oh well, Escha responds anyway! ]

It's okay! These things take a little getting used to... But welcome to the fleet, Minako!

[child_of_luv]

I've always been pretty terrible at technology. [She laughed a little nervously.] Thank you so much!

[appletart]

I'm really not much better! [ she laughs too - solidarity! ] We don't have anything like the technology here back home, so when I first got here, i didn't know what to do at all.

[child_of_luv]

Really? Do you have any technology? [Minako just found out that someone here was using birds to deliver hand-written notes back home. She's having some culture shock.]

[appletart]

A little! We have things like electricity, and airships... and some other things. But I'd never heard of a computer until I got here, and I definitely didn't know it was possible to travel in space...

What about where you're from?

action;;

[postocular]

[ It's been a while since a room has been unlocked- usually it was the other way around, and it was almost always the medical bay. They couldn't seem to keep lab support for anything. The personnel office, though? That's new. Not really a thing he's seen on their ship before. So the natural thing to do is to snoop, right? All's fair on your own ship so long as it wasn't a bedroom. Oh, and there was someone there. ] Hey?

[child_of_luv]

What? Oh! Hi.

[Minako smiled.]

I'm Minako Aino. I'm the new personnel officer here.

[Surprise! The room was unlocked for a reason.]
