KANAYA: -Kanaya has gathered all the new service workers in a relatively peaceful part of the atrium for SERIOUS DISCUSSION. She's waiting to make sure everyone's here before starting anything, though there are a couple drones hovering nearby as well.- JAKE: *Golly! He sure is present here and eager to be so.* English present and punctual! *Salutes at Kanaya as soon as he comes in and takes the nearest seat, buzzing with ENERGETIC POTENTIAL.* KANAYA: You Certainly Are KANAYA: Thank You JAKE: *straightens up his shirt and grins* Dont mind if i do! SIGNLESS: *He was never a fan of drones. Ever. Now ancient past encounters left him with dislike for the things, but they are there, and he is here so he will just deal with it and sit for this meeting. This is the first time he gets to do things in a while and feel useful, so yeah he is decently happy about this. Kasvik takes a seat next to the excited human, and nods his hello to Kanaya. He thinks she is the bees knees.* < JAKE: *turns at signless and offers his hand out to shake* Neighbors now are we? Pleasure to meet you sir! SIGNLESS: If you are speaking of temporary seating, then yes I suppose that would indeed make us neighbors. *He smiles and extends his hand to shake the excited human's.* MEULIN: *shes here!  she gives everyone big smiles* HELLO EFURRYONE!!!!!!!!! JAKE: *gruff friendly hand shakes with troll Jesus* In general is what i mean but nevertheless my name is jake! SIGNLESS: Nice to meet you Jake, *Gosh human names, they just sound so weird to him and always will.* My name is Signless. Or Kasvik. Which ever you would like to use better. JAKE: Signless? Whats that supposed to mean some sort of code name? *he's certainly seen meulin before and waves at her* SIGNLESS: Ah. . . hmn. Well sort of! KANAYA: -AW LOOK AT THIS CUTE GATHERING- JAKE: Incredible! Were you once a special agent of sorts?? :O SIGNLESS: Hahah, kind of far from it. JAKE: Heh heh well if its all the same i think i shall stick with kasvik! JAKE: It sounds like the name of an actor! Youre not an actor now are you? *eyes him* SIGNLESS: Me? No, no, no. I can do improv but that is it. *He chuckles a bit.* I'm an ambassador, from Lauctis. JAKE: So what you are saying is there COULD be movies about you. Being all mingled topsy turvy in politicals that you are! JAKE: Fancy title like ambassador? I wouldnt harbor doubt about it! :D CRONUS: *HE'S FASHIONA8LY LATE JUST LIKE HIS MUN* SIGNLESS: Oh there are movies about me alright. But its all historical propaganda. SIGNLESS: And known for its lack of accuracy, and detail. Also a bit horribly inaccurate. JAKE: *Bro. You just said the magic words. His eyes are shining.* SIGNLESS: *Grins and just shrugs his shoulders.* But thats what made them so funny I guess. KANAYA: -HELLO CRONUS. gives him the UR LATE eyes- KANAYA: I Suppose There Are Enough Of Us Here That I Can Get Started JAKE: *He has a new bro now. He's just decided it.* SIGNLESS: *Looks like the bonding will have to continue later. Kanaya now has his attention.* KANAYA: Hello Everyone CRONUS: *he gives her a nonchalant SHRUG and a sly smirk* JAKE: Hello!!! MEULIN: HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KANAYA: Ive Gathered You Today Because I Would Like To Talk About A Few Emergency Procedures That Will Be Important For All Of You To Know In The Case Of Future Mishaps JAKE: Business ventures! *nods a her* Let her rip is what i say! KANAYA: As Service Men And Women And Sprites Etcetera We Have An Important Responsibility In The Crew To Firstly Maintain Emergency Rations And Supplies And Make Certain All Escape Pods Are Fitted With Similar Appropriate Necessities At All Times SIGNLESS: *Yes these are all important things, he agrees.* KANAYA: We Also Must Make Certain We Know The Map Of The Ship Well And Familiarize Ourselves With Where These Emergency Supplies Are Located And Understand The Best Routes Of Escape In Case Of Such An Emergency MEULIN: *oh yeah these are certainly things to know* JAKE: *feels like he should be taking notes or something. He gets lost ALL THE TIME.* JASPERS: *he is a cat and therefore does as he pleases.  So he's the latest and immediately just roams up to kanaya and starts rubbing her legs* KANAYA: -pulls a stack of papers out of her sylladex- Ive Drawn Up Plans And Maps Marked With Said Routes And Locations Of Emergency Supplies That I Would Like You All To Take Some Time To Visit And Memor... Ize... -stares at Jaspers- JAKE: Dawww... KANAYA: Would You Like To Hand Them Out Jaspers JASPERS: puurrr puurrr :3 KANAYA: -pets his cute sprite head- KANAYA: -offers the papers- JASPERS: *accepts yon papers and starts handing them out like a good cat* KANAYA: -THE BEST CAT- SIGNLESS: *Blinks at the sprite. He is still never used to seeing those things around. All bright, and different like.* JAKE: *Can he pet his head too? What a good cat!!!* 8O MEULIN: *omg kitty!!!! contains a squeak* SIGNLESS: *He is fine viewing it from affar.* KANAYA: First Aid Kits Fire Extinguishers Emergency Blankets And Dried Food Rations Are All Important Supplies That Must Be Checked For Appropriate Stock And Familiarized With And I Have Added Some Instructions As You May Be Able To See On Your Papers KANAYA: And Lastly KANAYA: As You Are Probably All Aware We Are In Charge Of Commanding And Working Alongside The Drones On Board Whose Assistance Can Be Incredibly Helpful Both For Typical Tasks And In Case Of Attacks Should They Be Utilized Properly KANAYA: I Have Brought A Couple Of Them With Me Here Today To Help You All Familiarize Yourselves With Them And Means Of Communicating With Them JAKE: *Are we gonna learn how to fight with drones? Are we gonna make them TRANSFORMERS? JAKE IS HERE FOR THIS.* SIGNLESS: *He isn't EXACTLY looking forward to this, but okay. Jake sure seems excited about it.* MEULIN: OOOOOO....... CRONUS: *heh, awesome.  He could use someone he can boss around himself* KANAYA: First I Should Note That Drones Are Not To Be Used For Personal Whims KANAYA: -LOOKIN AT YOU CRONUS- CRONUS: vwowv, cheap. JAKE: *suddenly bursts with questions* And how DO they communciate? Are they sentient? Robotic? Cyboric? And their personalities? Whats their gicker??? KANAYA: -oh hello jake- KANAYA: Well KANAYA: Um KANAYA: Ok JAKE: :O!!! KANAYA: The Drones We Have Here On Board Are In Fact As Organic As The Rest Of Us KANAYA: And They Are Sentient KANAYA: However They Operate A Little Differently Than We Do KANAYA: Their Desires Extend Primarily To The Desires Of Those Commanding Them JAKE: Boy howdy if that isnt the tighest shit ive ever heard of. KANAYA: They Can Understand Our Methods Of Communication However KANAYA: They Tend Not To Listen Unless Specifically Addressed KANAYA: -with that, Kanaya chirps twice, and both drones look right at her- MEULIN: *eyeing the drones* WOAH......THATS FLEALLY NEAT!!!!!!!!! KANAYA: Glowbeam And Pipsqueak These Are The Members Of The Service Team Who Will Be Issuing Commands To You As Well KANAYA: Do Your Best To Listen To Them KANAYA: Everyone This Is Glowbeam And Pipsqueak KANAYA: -gestures at both of them. pipsqueak is NOT SMALL AT ALL.- CRONUS: *SNORTS at those names* JAKE: *He can whistle but can he chirp? He's gonna try later.* Nice to meet you glowbeam! Pipsqueak! :D *waves at them* JAKE: Im jake! KANAYA: -They both just chirp once at that.- SIGNLESS: *Okay yes, that is pretty cool. Signless sits up a bit straighter and does his best to memorize the chirp noise.* JAKE: *FUCKING CUTE!!! He loves them.* KANAYA: -Kanaya then nods at them and chirps once, and they seem at ease again.- KANAYA: As You Can See You Can Click Or Chirp Twice To Get Their Attention Issue Commands And Then Once To End Your Statement KANAYA: They May Have A Little More Difficulty Recognizing Orders From Humans Due To Certain ... Anatomical Differences KANAYA: But With Time They Can Adjust KANAYA: Drones Are Not Usually Aggressive Unless Specifically Ordered To Be But In Extreme Cases Of Confusion They Can Be A Little Reckless JAKE: *Hehe. Anatomical differences. Laughs a little late.* KANAYA: If A Drone Is Hissing Softly They Are Probably Only Confused And If You Let Them Be For A Few Minutes They Should Be Ok Just Give Them Space To Reset So To Speak JAKE: *Oh wait, yes. He's paying attention.* KANAYA: If They Are Hissing Loudly It Is Best To Give Them KANAYA: A Lot Of Space KANAYA: But The Same Goes KANAYA: Id Like You All To Try Getting Their Attention And Introducing Yourselves Like Jake Did To Try To Get Used To The Process KANAYA: Who Wants To Go First SIGNLESS: *He raises his hand a bit.* KANAYA: Ok KANAYA: Kasvik JAKE: *RAISES HIS HAND but more like dances in his chair* And me next! :D!!! KANAYA: Kasvik And Then Jake KANAYA: You May Step Up One At A Time SIGNLESS: *He stands, clears his throat a bit and turns towards the Drones. He chirps twice and waits for their responce.*   JAKE: *is doing something very involved with his phone over here.* KANAYA: -jake pls- KANAYA: -and the drones look right at Signless. RIGHT AT HIM- SIGNLESS: *HHHHHhh. Okay its chill. He's got this. These aren't like the few drones he had encountered growing up on alternia. They weren't here to cull people.* Hello, Pipsqueak and Glowbeam. *What adorable names.* I'm Kasvik. KANAYA: -They both chirp right back at him in acknowledgement. One of them flexes a little.- KANAYA: -HIM BIG0 CRONUS: *raises a brow as he watches all this go down* SIGNLESS: *Do not flex at him please.* Right. . .So should I just chirp once again? *Looks at Kanaya for this. Because technically he didn't give a command.* KANAYA: Yes SIGNLESS: *Looks back at the drones and chirps once.* KANAYA: -and now they are done staring at Kasvik. HE IS SAFE FOR NOW- SIGNLESS: *DONT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT. He goes and sits down again. Slightly less tense.* KANAYA: Ok That Was Good KANAYA: -jake stop texting- JAKE: *He scurries up to plate, phone still in his hand* Like so?? *plays the first set of Signless's chirps. Apparently he recorded them.* SIGNLESS: *Oh. Well that is certainly his chirps.* CRONUS: *omfg who even is this guy* JAKE: *A HERO.* KANAYA: ..... KANAYA: -The drones look at Jake's phone a little confused.- JAKE: Blast! Piece of shit! *disgusted at his phone* JASPERS: heh vwowv, get a load of this guy. JASPERS: (oos CRONUS: heh vwowv, get a load of this guy. JAKE: *wrings his phone around like that's gonna get it to work better* >:( KANAYA: ...

Actually, it just sounds like a lot of tsking.* SIGNLESS: *Just watches Jake, giving him the look of "Bruh what are you doing."* JAKE: *He's making his grandmammy proud.* KANAYA: -the drones are like wtf- KANAYA: Well KANAYA: That Was A Good Try JAKE: Oh botch. *he looks so disappointed.* KANAYA: Maybe Next Time CRONUS: heh, get a load of this guy. CRONUS: vwait. CRONUS: *already said that* CRONUS: *HE'S SO REPETATIVE* JAKE: What? *Who said that? He didn't even notice Cronus there and looks confused that he's there at all.* JAKE: *but just goes back to sit down anyway* KANAYA: Cronus Why Dont You Go Next CRONUS: pft, as if i need to, but sure.  ill showv you cats and kittens vwhat a skilled guy i am.  *STANDS and walks on over* JAKE: *That ALSO sounds like the name of an actor! But he's gonna watch enviously cuz trolls can make clickys and he can't.* You can do it chum! KANAYA: -looks at him expectantly like YES SHOW US- JAKE: ... JAKE: *takes out a tiny bag of fritos* JAKE: *tries eating them as discreetly as possible* CRONUS: *ends up glubbing twice instead of chirping or clicking.  IT'S WHAT HE KNOWS 8EST AFTER ALL* JAKE: Heh heh! *crunch crunch munch* KANAYA: -the drones just FLEX again- KANAYA: ... You Might Try Chirping CRONUS: vwhy?  shouldnt they knowv glubbing too? KANAYA: They Are Not Typically Predisposed To Respond To Glubbing No JAKE: Whats a glub?

CRONUS: *ROLLS HIS EYES HARD and chirps* CRONUS: *is a fishy chirp* KANAYA: -DAT CUTE- KANAYA: -but the drones actually respond that time, four for you cronus- JAKE: *Grins and eats more chips.

KANAYA: Feel Free To Introduce Yourself CRONUS: hey cats and kittens, im cronus, and you should totally listen to evwerything i havwe to say.  i also play a mean keytar. KANAYA: -PLS- KANAYA: -but the drones chirp dutifully- JAKE: *clapping and tries not to spray chips everywhere* :D SIGNLESS: *Yes please do not. Signless is right next to you Jake and does not want to be chipped.* KANAYA: -i dont see why not- JAKE: *a few chips fall on Signless's lap anyway.* SIGNLESS: *):B He is going to brush them away like no big deal. Its not the worst thing to be dropped into his lap.* JAKE: Oops! Sorry charlie. *whaps the fallen chips off before signless can get to them. Yep that sure happened.* CRONUS: *heh, he's the best.  He goes back to take his seat now that he's done* SIGNLESS: *Blinks at that, his hand still raised to do the original brushing.* KANAYA: -okay then that just leaves Meulin and ...
