Welcome Committee

[sumarusfinest]

There's been so many fresh faces to the Nexus recently, and more than a few of them have been children. Questions about finding a way home, about trying to decide if they want to go home. People wondering what to do now...

There are a few tables set out this morning in the Plaza in front of a small cafe loaded with several caraffes of coffee, breakfast pastries from more than a few different worlds and cultures, and a large pan of eggs and sausage kept warm over a chafing dish. On either end of the table are disposable plates, cups, and cutlery as well as a few welcome pamphlets in a small container. Along the front of the tables is a hand made banner.

"Meet and Greet"

Manning the tables is Katsuya Suou, red apron on and a cup of coffee in hand. He looks far too cheerful for how early in the morning it is.

"Right then, is anyone hungry? Have any questions about the nexus?"


((OOC: Feel free to mingle and threadjump in this thread. I'm trying to get people who have yet to meet to interact, so do not feel obligated to only reply to me!))

He's glad she doesn't protest (he was running out of new ways to say the same thing), but her answer still makes him a little sad. There's something he doesn't understand, he thinks, but he isn't quite able to figure out what that might be.

"So train a little harder and longer?" A beat as he tries to come up with something else. "The way you say it makes it sound like you want to go away and never come back because of this change."

"That's not what I meant." She shifts her weight, particularly uncomfortable at his last words. "I have duties here. I couldn't run from them. But my duty to the Light comes first, and that's about more than training. It's about honor, and strength, and sacrifice."

It may indeed mean 'never coming back' sooner rather than later, but that's not the point in her mind.

"...It's all right, Hughes. I'm talking about dedicating myself to a philosophy, not abandoning this place."

Honor, strength, and sacrifice. Core tenants of any military. Something he understands, even if he's rather at odds with his own right now. He feels like he's almost there in understanding, but he can't quite make the leap to the ledge Blaze is on.

"All right, but if you need help with anything - and you know I mean anything - you let me know all right? You can call me anytime and I'll be there as fast as I can."
