PAPERWORK COMPLETION SERVICE
If you find that the SS Thor's reliance on paperwork leaves you bewildered, even overwhelmed, then you need worry no longer. I, Kyoya Ohtori,

[And it looks like the first person you get to meet is Brittany. Don't you just feel so lucky, Kyouya-sama?]

You're friend with Kaoru and Renge? Like, from their world and stuff?

[reallyincharge]

[Oh absolutely. >.>]

That is correct, yes. I trust you are familiar with them.

[lovesagoodmisog]

Well, not that familiar.

I mean, Renge an' I've been friends for a while now, I guess...but I didn't really meet Kaoru until after they started dating.

[reallyincharge]

[...]

[Give him a minute here. That's something he's not heard of before now. But when he finally responds, it's with the same matter of fact tone]

And how long ago was that?

[lovesagoodmisog]

Umm...I'm not too sure. Time seems to sorta get away from me in this place.

A couple months, I think?

[reallyincharge]

Hmm. Well that does certainly explain something I've been puzzling over.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name, Miss...?

[lovesagoodmisog]

What's that?

Oh! I'm Brittany.

[reallyincharge]

Oh, just something Kaoru said to me when I first arrived. I didn't press him at the time but now I understand.

[And he offers a smile, the slightest thaw in his otherwise cool persona]

A pleasure, Miss Brittany. I trust from your previous comments that you've been here for some time?

[lovesagoodmisog]

Oh, I see.

Yeah. More than a year, according to my Guide.

[reallyincharge]

I see. Perhaps then, you were acquainted with one of my previous incarnations? I've been told there have been other versions of myself here in the past so naturally I'm curious to learn more about that.

[lovesagoodmisog]

Mmm...sorry.

I might've, like, seen you around the ship at some point...but there's just so many people here, y'know? And especially since they keep disappearing and reappearing more often than one of those witch performances.

[reallyincharge]

[He simply shrugs and smiles]

Well, it was worth asking just in case. But I can understand how it would be difficult to keep track of those here that you are not really acquainted with.

[lovesagoodmisog]

Totally. I never quite understood how all those paperwork aliens were able to manage.

I mean, I used to have a hard enough time managing a Math quiz.

[reallyincharge]

[Oh he's not touching that last comment. It's been noted, he's just not going there]

Well, I would suggest that familiarity with the various logging processes used aboard this ship would certainly help. After all, that is what they're employed to do.

[lovesagoodmisog]

I guess that's true. It is always easier to do stuff that you actually know how to.

[reallyincharge]

Generally speaking, yes. I mean, I dare say they have appropriate training in place but that can only get someone so far.
