Meet and Greet Part Deux: The Socialing

[cityship]

The new people will find themselves ushered out of Obs Deck, so it can be shot down to the planet again, to pick the crew up. Eventually, the crew members on the mission are brought back up, and the doors open to let the two groups meet

She walked on the deck, watching most of the other crewmen interact quietly. There was one thought ringing in her mind. What if? What if I meet someone I know?

It was pointless thoughts, really. Who was she expecting to show up. Hachi? Nell? Or Sturm forbid, Olaf? It would still be a small touch of familiarity she could use, even if it meant she'd have to avoid him for the rest of...however long they were here. Someone to plot against would be nice.

Lash had a feeling he wasn't there, however. None of them were, unless the records they were given access to about the active ship members were wrong. Considering the technology, that seemed nearly impossible. What if?
It was odd, this feeling of being alone and the pointless clinging to hope. She had run away from Orange Star to escape possible confinement for her actions, but now the reality of the situation hit her, and the fact they were gone made her sigh quietly. Commanding Officers had no place for tears. So used to having crowds people to interact with, to yell at her, to tell

Mai had shown up, naturally. She wanted to see who'd gotten 'popped this time around. No one she recognized, unfortunately (or fortunately, if you considered what Azula might be able to do). She still had hope that her family would come out of it alright (as much as she hated what her mother and father had made her do, she still didn't want them dead - and her little brother hadn't done anything wrong either). Still, most of their immediate family should be OK, at least according to Stacy.

Unless she was 'immediate family' in relation to Zuko. She sighed softly, watching the crew bustle back and forth, people meeting, the buzzed of conversation. She paused, spotting a short, spiky-haired girl. Well, she seemed almost a bit a lost. Normally, Mai wouldn't consider that her problem, but if she was going to be stuck here for the rest of her life... she might as well try to branch out a bit.

"You look lost," Mai commented dryly, "Then again, that's normal for fresh meat."

Lash turned around and shrugged back. The other girl's dry tone reminded her of Hawke, and she found odd comfort in that.

"Not really lost...more wondering why me and not the others, you know? I can understand considering my genius with machines and building, but you'd think they'd have gotten the older, more experienced Commanding Officers than me first." She smiled a little. "Not complaining either, mind you. This place sounds interesting." She finally gave her a small wave in greeting.

"Name's Lash. Ex-Commanding Officer and Genius Inventor for Black Hole, but I guess titles really don't mean anything on the ship."

Mai shrugged, "I don't know why I was chosen."

She wasn't that important in the grand scheme of things, as far as she was aware. Sure, she'd done a few things that helped affect the outcome of a giant war on her world, but still. Not one you'd expect to be picked to help save the multiverse. She arched a brow at Lash, "I'm Mai. I'm guessing you were in the army."

She sounded decent enough. She didn't seem crazy.
