No Tea? [sad]

[so_many_moods]

Hexadecimal had been the first to arrive on the deck. She'd actually been waiting since shortly after first reading the inviting post. She hadn't really met anyone on the ship yet, and figured that a Question and Answer session was as good a place as any to begin, and she was so looking forward to meeting new people.

No one else is here yet, the AI thought to herself for the thirteenth time that minute. How very sad With a swish of her hand, the ever-present mask on her face switched from [Intrigued] to [Bored]. I do hope someone arrives soon... it would be very tragic if some unnecessary chaos had to be committed to alleviate my boredom The mask changed again, to an expression of [Crazed Delight].

BUT WE CAN SMOKE, WHICH IS GOOD <s>for me!</s>

Hibari slipped into the room around five minutes later - he took a glance around, checking the area before moving further inside.

The Convoy appeared to be significantly different from the Silvana in most counts except one, so far: their captains were elusive figures, or so he had thought. The post on the network had intrigued him. What was so peculiar about this captain that a ship-wide meeting was required?

...Well, he was going to find out soon enough.

...I think Hex is glad she doesn't breathe

Hex switched her mask to a slightly unnerving [Grin] as others finally entered the room.

"Finally," she said to no one in particular as she dispersed the small, glowing red ball of destruction she had been contemplating using. "I was beginning to get very, very bored."

[icaruschmicarus]

"Cactuars get stronger with fire."

Hibari leaned against the wall, rummaging through his pockets for his cigarettes. Gintoki looked... well, the same as ever, really. Who this other one was, he did not know.

[so_many_moods]

Hex's mask was a picture of innocence. "It wasn't fire, and it's gone now anyway."

She turned towards the second speaker and switched her mask to [Curious.] "What are cactuars?"

[icaruschmicarus]

Likely not, if she had no idea what Cactuars were. Hibari, however kept his thoughts to himself - he was content with lighting up, taking that first drag, and watching the pair.

[so_many_moods]

"No, I haven't." Hex said, turning back towards the Quartmaster, not that she knew that's what he was. "I've only been free for a little over a year."

She switched her mask to [Puzzled.] "Is there something wrong with my face?" [Mild annoyance] "You seem to be staring at it."

Hex suddenly whirled and turned towards the smoking man, her mask switching back to [Puzzled]. "I don't wish to alarm you, but I believe that stick you're chewing on is on fire."

[icaruschmicarus]

"I am not chewing on it, and it is supposed to be on fire."

To Gintoki's response, though, Hibari only took another drag and blew it in the Quartermaster's direction. One eyebrow arched, and only the slightest twitch of his lips to indicate his amusement.

[so_many_moods]

{Anger] "Well of course I'm not human!" Hex paused, and the mask slid to [Intrigued] "I should think that would be obvious. As for my mask..." She slipped a spare out of... wherever she kept them, and handed one to him, looking [Pleased.] "Do you like it?"

Hex looked [Incredulous] at Hibari. "...Why would you intentionally put fire to your lips? [Curious] .. That can hurt you, can't it? You could be ...burned?" She paused, as if unsure if that was the right word.

[icaruschmicarus]

Dodging Gintoki's snot was pretty much second nature to him now. It came with being stuck with the man for months.

"You can only be burned by a cigarette if you are stupid." Hibari turned, at last, to face the third person in their company. "Your name?"

He asked because she really did seem interesting. The mask-shifting intrigued him, along with her questions.

[so_many_moods]

The AI passed her hand in front her face, and the mask altered again. [Crazed Delight] "I am Hexadecimal." She said simply. "And I very much doubt that _anyone_ could mistake me for a human, costumed or otherwise." A [Sly Grin] came upon her face.
