007 -- video.

[ jax is wearing his sweatshirt, hood tucked up around his neck and ears, wet hair tied up in a bun. he's missing his customary cigarette, though he looks like he could probably do with one as he settles back in the chair at the main gunnery console. his expression is tense, but he flashes a smile for the camera as he begins speaking. ]

So that was an interesting wake up call. Not the way I'd wanna do it, but I figure the longer I stay up here the less picky I get about dropping out of a fucking stasis tube.

[ no, that doesn't get any less weird to say, but jax is working on it. ]

Anyway, anyone who doesn't know, I'm Jax Teller. If you're Gunnery, check in after you towel off. If you wanna be Gunnery, come down and see me. You got another department in mind, speak up, and they'll snatch you up. If you're new and you just got questions, fire away. I don't promise I got all the answers, but I can probably point you in the direction of someone who does.

[ there's a pause, jax balancing the comm on his knee while he punches a few buttons, then settles back. ]

Anyway, anyone who wants to bend an ear about current events, come on by. I got nothing but time.

[ and a healthy distrust of talking about anything important on the network, but a little paranoia is excusable, right? ]

And Ilde, lemme know when you got a minute.

[ and casual disconnect is go. ]

where do people go when they leave the ship

i know this isn't related but

[ yeah she's not got a reason why she just doesn't want to ask a stranger ok :c ]

[kutte]

[ there's a few minutes of dead air, jax thinking about tara, missing tara, about the jump that she'd gone, and -- ]

Home. I figure they all go home.

[tectus]

it's probably wishful thinking to ask if there's any way of knowing that for sure, right?

[ honestly, she's not sure which is preferable right now. sure, being stuck on a spaceship in unfamiliar territory isn't ideal, but it's not like home is any better, or any safer ]

romanoff, checking in

[ belatedly: ]

sir ;)

[kutte]

Do I look like a "sir" to you? Jesus, lay off that.

[vdova]

would you prefer ma'am?

video.

[hedoniste]

At least thirty seconds. ( with a little wave. )

omg the puffy shirt.

[kutte]

When'd you start getting stingy?

[ hi ilde :> ]

it is for u baby

[hedoniste]

Woman's prerogative, you love it. What's up?

[mindtricks]

Are you planning to make roll calls a regular post-jump feature?

[ she doesn't think it's a bad idea, actually. this also counts as her checking in. ]

[kutte]

I figure it's better than realizing someone's missing a couple days later when they don't show up to their shift.

You get through it okay, Pollyanna?

[ meaning the jump. ]

[foundafamily]

Yes, sir. Still here, still in one piece.

[He's still a little green from the jump, so the joking tone is forced. Pretty obviously forced, but hey, he's trying.]

[kutte]

I gotta say, you've looked better. You good?

[oldmanhusker]

[Look at him actually using his communicator for this]

I'm still here.

[kutte]

Your old lady too?

[ this is such a special moment ]

[nokidstuff]

Check in for what?

[says the one kid who's used to "checking in" when it's more about life or death and zombie control.]

[kutte]

Check in to see if you're still here or you got a free pass outta here.

[ or are stuck in a stasis tube, but that's a less happy option, so. ]

[ Spending the last month in a coma didn't do Erwin any services - he was disoriented for days, had to be reoriented with nearly everything. Fortunately, he's a quick learner and had documents he prepared shortly after his initial arrival to help reeducate himself on the ship, the jobs, the technology, etc. He spent a few days shortly after settling in transcribing most of the pertinent info found on the device into a notebook he found because he's still not too up on this technology. Levi suggested they both look for a job, that it would do them both some good to busy themselves instead of dwell on things beyond their control - the dire situation at their home being one of those things. He's not keen on getting another mark tattooed on his skin, but he feels like he'd be a good fit for the Gunnery (from what Levi has told him about it)... So his attention is pulled away from trying to turn the little motorized vacuum off at the man's mention of it. ]

Do you have a specific time you'd like those interested in the Gunnery to come speak with you?

[ Military man, fairly regimented schedule, etc. ]

I've heard about it in passing, Levi has mentioned your name, too, I believe. I'd like to learn more about what you do and see if I'd be a good fit.

[kutte]

At your leisure, man. Just need a ten minute heads up so I can get back to the main station to meet you.

[ friend of a friend, always welcome, etc ]

Levi still kicking around here too?

[voice]

[yardbird]

Current events? Really?

[No, actually. Murphy might have something current worth talking about, so he's considering.]

[kutte]

You got a better name for it?

[ he's trying to be subtle there's only so much finesse he can manage post-jump ]

Best I could do short of suggesting some kind of meeting.

[Video]

[protohistory]

Will you be making these announcements monthly, then?

[Liara offers him a careful smile. It's not such a bad idea, in fact.]

I'm sure our new arrivals greatly appreciate it. I hope the jump treated you as well as can be expected?

[kutte]

Maybe. More efficient than doing a head count at the jump.

[ what's up girl ]

I got through it. That's all you can do, right? How're you settlin' in?

video.

[iceboxed]

[because hi, he's mock saluting here.]

Sooo how long till I get to drop the "trainee" thing?

[kutte]

You think you're ready to step up?
