0008: NEW ARRIVAL BRIEFING

Who: New Arrivals, Graham Baker
Where: Briefing Room
When: Late afternoon, Aprilo 29th
Warnings: None

When awakening, the immediate surroundings are swarming with activity and very chaotic. The people in the medical ward are polite and understanding, but firmly refuse to answer questions until the briefing. Especially not after some group of kooks earlier decided that they'd throw a tantrum and bug out of the hospital before anything can get said. Either given hospital outfits resembling very comfortable pajamas, drone bodies, or their own bodies, they are escorted by polite, unyielding people in red and black uniforms to the briefing room. Fortunately for the robots, things are much more organized.

The Briefing room is large. Not enough to accommodate a giant, but spacious enough for several dozen people. The tiles are black and featureless while the walls are nice, soothing colors. The chairs are high-backed and well-cushioned, more like comforting eggs floating a foot or so off the ground than anything else. Set into the ceiling and floor near the front is a large holographic projector. The floor in front of each seat also has a smaller projector, allowing people to see what the bigger device is showing without having to angle for a view. As of now, it merely displays a rotating pyramid.

Ten members of Security line the walls and various exits, looking rather displeased to be here. Graham Baker, a balding man in an ill-fitting suit, stands at the head of the room with an easy smile, seemingly unbothered by any previous ruckus.

[Questions to the NPCs will go in the briefing thread. The rest of the post is there for people to mill about and do whatever with. The mods will not be doing hangar/medical awakenings unless it's specifically asked for.]
espio: (and...?)

"For some people, maybe," Espio acknowledged, with a small frown. "Personally, I find it's easier and way more rewarding to be the good guy."
gunholic: (smirkypose)

"So.. does that mean you're a pirate?" Axl said, perking right up. All right, Espio was going on the cool people list.
espio: (o...kay?)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-06 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I, uh - I didn't say that." He wasn't denying it, though.
gunholic: (smile smile)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-06 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"You didn't have to say it. Don't worry. I won't tell."

Aw yeah. This place was looking up.
espio: (i am not a magic ninja)

Espio was really far more concerned at just how quickly Axl had worked that out. He was pretty sure he didn't look or act like your typical pirate (not that he'd really consider anyone in his crew a 'typical' pirate), and all he'd really said was that it was easier to be a good guy than a dick.

"Didn't I?"
gunholic: (smirkypose)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-06 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Axl shrugged. Being able to put things together about someone fast was a bit of an important job skill when your primary job for years was impersonating people.

"Maybe to somebody else. I'm just that good."

Modesty, however... modesty was for other people.
espio: (facepalm)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-08 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"Uh-huh."

Espio decided that he wasn't going to confirm or deny Axl's deduction, because it irritated him. The complete lack of modesty prompted an eyeroll, too.
gunholic: (neutral)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-08 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Axl stuck his tongue out at the eyeroll. Unimpressed he was used to, but what was it with everyone rolling their eyes at him all the time?
espio: (and...?)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Espio was assigning this guy the nickname of 'cocky brat', that was for sure.

"As it happens," he said, "I'm actually a mercenary. But, nice try." This was, of course, in addition to being a pirate, but Espio was still irritated at being figured out so quickly.
gunholic: (smile smile)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-10 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it wouldn't be the first time, or all that inaccurate...

"Privateers are mercenaries with boats~!" Axl said, grinning.
espio: (kind of suspicious...)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-10 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
wait, when did privateers come into it?

"Never really been good with the sea," Espio admitted, "though I do have training for some high speed vessels. The sky, on the other hand... well, I'm a pretty good pilot."
gunholic: (smirkypose)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-10 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Somebody totally went through a pirate phase and forgot that not everybody does. It was probably a good thing that his collection of historically accurate jolly rogers was at home.

"That's pretty boss... I'm not good for anything much bigger than a ride chaser, and those are single passenger at best."
espio: (talking to turnips)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-11 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Doesn't matter to me," Espio said, with a small smirk starting to cross his face. Despite all the problems he'd been having lately, he was still rather proud of his piloting ability. "I've flown a fair few vehicles, the best probably being the Ragnarok - huge, high-speed vintage ship modelled after a dragon, with a pretty impressive history. It was an incredible thing, even considering its age."

He always did have a slight tendency to go on a bit when it came to the Ragnarok.
gunholic: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-11 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
"Dude," Axl said almost reverently. High speed dragon ship? Man Espio's home had some nice toys.

"I wish we had anything near that cool."
espio: (ohh?)

[personal profile] espio 2014-05-11 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
"We also had a flying fortress that doubled as a school," Espio added, with a shrug, though he was pleased at Axl's response - generally, when he gushed about the Ragnarok, it was at people who didn't want to know. "Which was a bit less awesome."
gunholic: (neutral)

[personal profile] gunholic 2014-05-11 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
"I bet it flew like a brick."

Nope still sounded cool to Axl.
