[ irene's not sitting in her room, she's sitting in someone else's. namely, the room that once belonged to her version of sherlock holmes. on her index finger are three gold rings that she fidgets idly with while she speaks. ]
I see our very own cautionary tale has graced us with an echo. For those newly arrived, I'd say pay attention to that, and note what happens if you don't get yourself into a pod before the jump time. It leaves in quite a mess, or so I'm told.
[ there's a clink of rings as she shakes them off, letting them fall onto the side table, edging them lightly into place with her fingertips. ]
Now, having that settled, I suppose I'd ask an introduction on the part of those newly arrived. All those newly arrived. In all the chaos of your arrival, it's only polite that we all introduce ourselves. We are to be living in rather close quarters for the foreseeable future, are we not?

Have I made you uncomfortable?
no subject
[Yes! Or, rather, he made himself and the whole situation uncomfortable. Good God why can't he get it together.]
I'm just not, uh. Used to friendliness. Like that. But I can handle visitors. [He... thinks.]
no subject
Are people not friendly where you've come from? I'll have to find a way to make up for it here then.
no subject
They're not as friendly as you, I'm thinkin'. Or persistent. There's really no stopping you?
[He's sort of teasing now though, and he actually manages a small laugh--a bit brittle but w/e he's trying.]
no subject
Not a prayer of it.
[ a for effort ]
no subject
Let's not do away with the prayers. [it's... something like a joke, and it's with resigned amusement that he adds:] Guess that's it, then.

no subject
