meet-and-greet | January 2016

[governors]

The Governors do this, sometimes; they hold a meet-and-greet for the new arrivals to help them get acclimated, and also to distract them from destroying their rooms. A message goes out to all the new arrivals informing them of a party with free food. Everyone likes free food, right?

In one of the recreation areas - sadly, not one of the ones accessible by slide - there are some chips, dip, some sodas and Solo cups, several large pizzas, and a surprising amount of Oreos.

Party.

There are only a few people in the room thus far, but Aex is going to take full advantage of that to meet any other new arrivals. After all, those invited were amongst the newest to this whole mess and, presumably, at just as much of a loss as he was.

He had his waist length hair secured in a braided crown, dressed in a loose tunic shirt and flowy harem pants, bare feet padding against the floor without any seeming concern.

He pauses near Chase, nostrils flaring widely as he catches a familiar scent.

"Oh, please tell me those are Oreos..." He walks over with a smile, his movement unintentionally cat-like and smooth.

Chase eyes the newcomer for a moment, since they certainly paint an interesting picture with the hair and outfit. It makes them kind of hard to fit into any easily defined category-- but, hey, maybe that's the point. Chase wonders, at first, if they're a guy or girl, but after the initial words are exchanged, the voice makes him settle on guy.

"Oh?" He looks over his shoulder at the snack table and then nods. "Yeah, looks like it." Pause. "But, you know, they're not worth it without milk."

As he nears Chase,Alex'ss skin prickles and a shiver moves up the length of his spine. Magic radiates around the young man Alex's nostrils flare widely in response, even if he doesn't mean to react outwardly; he can't help it. He's been around any number of supernatural beings in the past, but there is no questioning that Chase is something rather extraordinary... and powerful.

He glances back at the table with a frown at the comment, brows knitting in consternation. "Huh?" He notes the very distinctive lack of milk and sighs, shoulders sagging in response. "Now that's just a crime... The idea of washing Oreos down with soda is enough to make even me cringe."

He grins sidelong at Chase, extending his fatemarked hand. "I'm Alex... Resident Wereleopard... Pleasure to meet you."

Chase picks up on the fact that there's some kind of a reaction from the other boy once he draws closer to him, but he doesn't pay it much mind yet. It's sort of filed away as an interesting thing, something to note for later. In the meantime...

"Yeah, it's like they're taunting us with this," he says, shrugging as if to say Ah well, what can you do?

Chase looks down at Alex's hand, taking in the mark on it. Then, he looks back up at him and grins, his eyes positively lighting up with excitement when he mentions wereleopard. Hell, Chase had never met a freaking wereanything before. Far as he knew, they don't exist back home. "Really?" He shakes Alex's hand. "I'm Chase. Uh... Witch." It feels weird to just outright say it, but if there was ever a time and a place, this is it.

It's rare for people to respond so happily at the declaration of being something other than human, at least back home, so Alex is caught a bit by surprise. However, his smile broadens and flashes those pointy canines, and he nods.

"Yeah, really... And a fresh of breath air that you're not trying to stab me for saying so." It's said with a laugh, but he's completely serious. There was a definitive division between people back home and supernatural a were often on the receiving end of a lot of bad shit.

A moment later, however, he understands both the warm greeting and why being near Chase had set him off so sharply. Alex is practically beaming as he clasps Chase's hand in greeting. "You don't know how good it is to, one, say what I am aloud, and two, find others that aren't human here!" Particularly in their newly recruited group. He glances around the room, gesturing at the others that have begun to mingle.

"Any others that you've met, yet?"
