Starting with a Bang

Who: HSS & Anyone Incoming
Where: HSS Dorms
When: Day 138 Morning

[ Good morning HSS! I hope you like being woken up by loud crashing noises because that's what's happening this morning. Inspection of the room where said crashing occurred will yield you one heavily tattooed adult (??) with his foot tangled in a blanket, looking sheepishly at his tipped over and mildly destroyed bed. To vouch for his adultness and newbieness, he's wearing a t-shirt and pajama pants. There's a flaming pony on his t-shirt. That's an important detail. ]

Ah jeez... I hope that wasn't expensive.

[ Sounds like a really personal thing and he doesn't fault him for not wanting to talk about it with everyone gathered round tbh. ]

Ah- sure, that's fine. Just let me know when you do wanna talk about it.

[inspiteful]

Some place a little more quiet.

Well, since you've picked out a colour already, I'll show you around once you get changed?

[onetrippony]

[ With an obvious tease in his tone. ]

What, you don't think people will appreciate my shirt?

[inspiteful]

I mean, it's not going to discourage people from the Stallion bit.

[onetrippony]

... Wait can other people see that name?

[inspiteful]

If they look up your profile, yes.

[onetrippony]

Does picking a nickname change it?

[inspiteful]

Nope. I got stuck with 'Spring Born Wind' so I chose a different name for myself. It still says Spring Born Wind.

But at least having a name to give to other people will pre-empt some of that. And if they aren't the kind to check profiles then they'll be none the wiser.

[onetrippony]

That is a very appreciated tip thank you.

I guess I'll have to make it a point to aggressively introduce myself.

[inspiteful]

Good luck with that.

[onetrippony]

I'm definitely getting called that name by someone, aren't I?

[inspiteful]

Someone's gonna be a smartass about it.

[ Looks at D.va,,, ]

[onetrippony]

I think I can handle a little friendly teasing at least... That seemed like friendly teasing, anyway.

[inspiteful]

Oh, it was. Most of what you're gonna get is ribbing, probably.

[onetrippony]

Hmm... I think I'll live then. Still, I guess I've gotta make a name choice before I go about meeting other people.

I like Mercury, Chollima, and Pegasus... I kind of assume I like horses since I've got a tattoo of one, but I wonder if all the horse theming might get weird.

[inspiteful]

It's up to you? ...Though I guess it might. We...uh, a long while back there was this big thing about getting stables over some other kind of building and it got really silly with one guy making a speech about why horses are great to try and get people behind the idea, so. Plenty of people still remember that.

[onetrippony]

So I could end up 'that horse enthusiast' guy...

[inspiteful]

Possibly, yeah.

[onetrippony]

Hmmm, I'll be especially thoughtful then.

Ah, anyway, what else do you think would be important to know?

[inspiteful]

Uhm... [ Man everyone has covered a lot of other things, urm... ]

Don't lose your 'phone'. Lots of stuff can only be bought using it, and you need it to unlock the room to the dorm.

[onetrippony]

Keep it in my pocket at all times, got it.

[inspiteful]

So uhm...welcome to Heart Soldier Senshi.

[onetrippony]

Thanks. For the welcome, and for everything. You guys have been really honest and patient with me and I appreciate that.

[inspiteful]

Well...being dishonest about some of the stuff that happens here would just end up biting all of us at the worst moment, especially for you.

[ Not gonna address the rest of that because this is embarrassing, ]

[onetrippony]

Still, I appreciate it. I'm feeling at least more ready to face whatever's outside those doors now.
