[open] in which Rein discovers the goo

[pocketloli]

Rein was very hungry when the Meet and Greet had separated, and found her way to the cafeteria. Taking up a tray twice her size with considerable effort, she floated over, hoping to get something like a cherry tomato or maybe some pasta

"Actually, the ship does have regular food. It is, however, limited, and until we are able to get more supplies it's limited to being accessed only every couple of days." Said the Middleman, carrying his own tray of grayish goop.

"Sorry about that. On the upside it's formulated to the exact nutritional needs of each crewmember."

"Really? Well I guess that's okay," pouted Rein as she spooned up a giant spoon of goop and slurped the end of the spoon. "It's... not really good but it's filling."

Waggling the giant spoon and fork around, the little girl looked up at the Middleman and said, "I'm Rein. Nice to meet you Mr...?"

[cowsquirtdrinkr]

"The Middleman. Just the Middleman." He said with smile.

"Nice to meet you Rein."

[pocketloli]

Rein nodded. "Nice to meet you too Middleman," smiled Rein. It was either a title or a codename. Either or, it was pretty cool.

Slurping up a little of the goop, Rein sighed. "Well I suppose it's not too bad. Are you one of the veterans on the ship?"

Thaddos stalked in to the cafeteria, in his usual why-is-everyone-either-a-xeno-or-an-abomination? sulkiness, and general why-do-I-still-need-food grumpiness. He slopped up some food on a plate, which he didn't think was that bad. He had lived on dry, dusty rations when he still served in the Legio Victorium.

His continued sulking was interrupted by a small girl. She was small. And floating. Therefor, a cherub servitor. He stared at the servitor, and wondered just what it was doing here.

Rein slurped up a spoonful, making her way through her first tray. It was still filling, but the girl was still hungry. Looking up a Thaddos, she blinked and waved at him. "Hi, come to eat too desu?"

Fffff, posting in wrong place.

[machinespirits]

Thaddos stared some more. He was very good at it.

"And how would I be able to eat in the same messy manner as yourself, little chegirl." He caught himself in time, since this clearly was not a servitor. Or it was an incredibly advanced one.

"I have no lower jaw, if you hadn't noticed."

Hehehe ^_^ /patpat

[pocketloli]

"Hmm, I hadn't thought about that," said Rein, tapping her chin in thought. "Sorry, I just wanted to know if you were coming to eat like I was desu!"
