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!))

She wonders what sorts of experiences Red has had, to come to such negative conclusions about human behavior. Not that she disagrees with this particular assessment. "Is that a problem? On your Earth?"

Adia's expression brightens considerably at the mention of PINpoints. "Oh! I have one of those already." Setting down her fork once more, she reaches into pocket and pulls out what looks like a stopwatch on steroids. "I got it from a vending machine for free," she says, holding it out so he can look it over. "But that was... well, either a long time ago or in another Nexus. I hope they still have them, they're very convenient."

A knowing smile pulls across his lips at that question. "It's a problem everywhere, Adia. One never has to try hard to see it." It's all a matter of opening one's eyes.

Carefully taking the PINpoint from her, Red looks over the strange device slowly. "Remarkable," he murmurs, turning it over in his hands. This kind of technology is far beyond his capability to understand, but here is trying to figure it out anyway. "How does it work, exactly?" He's fairly certain they can find one somewhere, so he focuses instead on how such a device might work rather than where to obtain one.

"I guess some things about human nature are universal." Which isn't quite the comforting thought it should be. Adia eats a little more of her breakfast to compensate; good breakfast food seems to be a universal, too.

"I don't know," Adia admits, watching Red handle the device with a small amount of nervousness. She trusts Red to be careful with it, but all the same, her PINpoint is her only lifeline to and from the Nexus. "It's far beyond any sort of technology on my world. Even our ship's FTL drives require vast amounts of calculation power to teleport us any significant distance."
