*grins, and chokes back a laugh, because he seems terribly serious about it all* I'm afraid I haven't met you to begin with, which makes it rather hard to miss you.

[oldironballs]

*directs an ingratiating smile at her breasts, more awkward than lecherous*

Yes, of course. Of course. How do you do.

*sketches a bow only marginally less silly than the salute*

A.J. Rimmer, Space Adventurer, at your service.

*Narrows her eyes a bit and self-consciously crosses her arms, trying to cover said boobs*

Nice to meet you, I'm Evey Hammond.

[oldironballs]

*very very sincerely, still half-ducked in a bow* The pleasure is all mine, Miss Hammond.

[evey_intherain]

Ah, thank you, Mr Rimmer. *slightly befuddled, tis true*

[oldironballs]

*and this would be his pathetic conversational abilities grinding to a halt*

*blurts* Will you join me in a cocktail?

[evey_intherain]

Er, isn't it a little early in the day for cocktails?

ty:is about 10am for this typist XD

[oldironballs]

*with the fixed, embarrassed smile of one who doens't believe what he's saying at all* It's, er.. never too early for fun?

Ty: This is Rimmer. He's not sane around women. XD

[evey_intherain]

*bites her lip, and says slowly* Well, I suppose that's true... but wouldn't it be better to wait a bit? I mean, after all, we only both just arrived.

[oldironballs]

Ah, of course. Quite right. *is totally not dying of humiliation, not at all*

[evey_intherain]

*ack, feels guilty* Oh, but, we will do it, how about next week some time? just so everyone's all settled in properly.
