Video / Text | UN: NEWT | MEET THE CREW (alt title: newton has had 2 energy drinks)

[groupiedrifter]

Welcome, new meat! My name's Newton, I'm your kind and welcoming local scientific genius rockstar. Pleased to meet you, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Important things to know about me: I love rock music, I love playing the guitar, I love being elbow-deep in my xenobiology work, and I love finger foods. Also, I have a winning personality.

There's approooximately 35 to 40 other experienced weirdos lurking around this ship, same team as you, not including our lovely AI Viveca — who you can so lovely call 'Viv'! So I figured I might as well give you all a heads up about each and every one of the unlikely and likely heroes roaming these halls.

[The following is an audio-to-text recording called 'Meet the Crew!'.]

( MEET THE CREW IF YOU DARE )

And there you have it! Your wonderful, super capable, super talented Ximilia crew! I'm wanting the full details of you new people in return, just for the record. A/S/L, hobbies, special skills, deep dark secret backstories, all of it. Fork 'em over now, or it'll be off to the airlocks with you. Chop-chop.

[It's that time again! ...good luck, Ximilia]

So, it seems to be just over sixty of us now. More than double the amount that was here when I first turned up. Looks like some of them left though, so I guess they changed their minds.

[Not that he knew most of them. But he has eyes. And a need to keep track of things like that.]

Far as we all know, this is the third time people have been brought here. Ninety-one days since we first started turning up.

Now, I ain't saying I'm an expert. But I'm just going to field a few questions before they come up.

[And undoubtedly leave it to the actual professional once the follow up questions come]

Yes, there's another area called the Northern Wing. No, we can't go in. Yes, we've met someone who seems to live on the other side. No, we can't talk to him.

[Except...that last part might not be true. He hasn't actually asked Viveca if they could talk to him]

We're meant to get a supply drop once every thirty days or so. Spare clothes and supplies are all stored at the end of the common room. You need something specific, speak to Viveca. Ain't promising she'll be able to get it, but can't hurt to ask, right?

If this is your first time in space, talk to Jim Kirk. He's been running sessions for anyone who hasn't been off planet before.

You need to eat more than the average person here, let Dusty Fields know. High calorie rations are marked, but he's keeping track of supplies with a couple of others.

[Oh, right-]

Guess I should also add, you want to get laid, talk to Newton Geiszler. I'm sure the Doc would love to give you a little TLC.

[:D]

If you've got any questions, you're looking for Sam Wilson.

[:D :D]


[ooc: Please feel free to threadjack to your heart's content. It's another free for all. Also, all links are there OOCly, for bothering purposes.]

[Look who's finally using the video function! It's seriously tripping him out, but he's doing it!

The video shows Dusty standing at one of the big counters in the mess hall area, and he smiles warmly at the 'camera' before talking, a little hesitantly at first and then more confidently.]

Hi guys!

I know there's been a lot of messages with information for all the new arrivals, but I thought I'd add one to the flood.

My name is Dusty, and I've been mostly in charge of the kitchen. With help, obviously! A lot of really great people have volunteered to help with cooking and rationing and cleaning and all sorts of things.

But we can always use more help, so just a couple quick food and kitchen related things...

[He takes a little breath and looks a bit awkward for a moment, a hand coming up to the back of his head so he can rub blunt nails against his scalp.]

So, first, if anyone is good at cooking or other general kitchen work, I'd love if you'd be willing to help out. We need people to help meal prep, do the actual cooking, share recipes, all of that. Viv promised me a little smokehouse on the next supply drop, and while I know the basics, it'd be great if anyone has particular skill with preserving meat or other supplies in one.

[A pause, and he's visibly trying to word what he's going to say next.]

Okay, and second, just some general questions. I'd like to know if anyone has any special dietary needs. I'm a werewolf, myself-

[For a second, he looks surprised at himself, then he carries on with obviously forced confidence. Still not used to just saying that.]

I'm a werewolf, have been since I was five, and even though I have it totally under control, I know how it is to need something like raw meat or something else to keep sane. So no judgement if it's weird, I promise. If you don't want everyone to know, you can send it locked here or drop me a private message.

Also, I'd love to know what people's favorite foods are! I can't promise anything, but I like to cook what makes people happy, so if I run across the ingredients, I'll do my best to do it justice. Just let me know what it is. And uh, if you have any questions feel free!

[OOC: I know Sims 4 icons aren't for everyone, I have an opt-out here if you'd rather my little picrew cartoon icons.]
