Who: the new guy
Where: avante
When: 196, early morning

[anyway if you are avante maybe you noticed the telltale sign of a new person in the area, such as a new (reoccurring?) door to a bedroom, and from it the sound of a yelp, something heavy hitting the floor, and then a muffled string of probably vivid cursing]

Comments

[Cardigan opens the door without preamble. They are petite and exceedingly lovely to look at, wearing nothing but an overly large t-shirt.

They look down at Kaz, presumably on the floor.]

I didn't think our team average for organic limbs could get any lower.

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[he was in fact sitting very ungainly on the floor, but as people start to enter he grabs the post of his bed and stubbornly, somewhat awkwardly, gets himself up until he can lean/sit on the corner

he's wearing uh

he looks grumpy]

Well sorry to hurt your numbers. Who the hell are you?

[deicider]

Cardigan. I'm an amnesiac, too, so you'll have to get your explanations from her. [points at Shrike, the tall, buff lady.]

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[the hot woman in the room has defused him slightly, squints at Cardigan a bit]

You too? But you got your name?

[softlyfalling]

[ The very petite person is followed by a very tall woman in exercise clothes, who looks distinctly more concerned. ]

Are you—are you all right?

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[he's VERY CRABBY and giving Cardigan sass as he gets to his... foot.]

Depends, are we talking about my tailbone or the missing--

[But he definitively does a double take once he gets a look at her]

...missing, uh... everything.

[softlyfalling]

Ah... I guess it's that time again.

[ she's... got her hands sort of clasped together in front of her weirdly tightly? ]

We've got a sitting room out here, or I can explain more in here, but the full explanation's a bit long—er, my name is Shrike, and... suffice to say that you've been brought here by demons to perform for others' entertainment as part of this unit, avante en garde.

It's not a great situation, but we'll help you with everything we can.

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[goes agape slightly, realizes that looks stupid, realizes all of this looks and actually is stupid. his eyes look like he should be blind but he seems to be focusing on her just fine]

...you're pulling my leg.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Look let's just assume he's out of his room by now. A young man with a prosthetic arm is feeding a veritable herd of kittens.]

...Well, fuck. We got a grandad.

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[after what is actually a civil conversation with no further swearing, then eventually shooing cardigan and shrike out so he can dress himself (the bottom layers of this, which is to say, pants and simple t-shirt, he does manage to make it to the door frame, which he holds onto pretty hard to help him maintain his balance because uh, he still only has one leg.

anyway he had been in a better mood until he had to deal with only having two limbs and now he's crabby again]

Oh, I got myself a smartass. Don't start with me, brat, I'm having a morning.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Normally Griffin would be a lot more understanding about the crankiness. And how much it sucks to not have limbs! But he's kindaaa wound up right now, and this old man just called him a BRAT--]

So you haven't gotten your fill of getting your shit wrecked, is that what you're saying?!

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[Oh, he was honestly being fairly dismissive but now he gives this kid a sharper look with his weird-gray eyes.]

Can't say I remember getting my shit wrecked to begin with. But you seem pretty eager to throw down with someone you just met, or are we not strangers?

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Oh boy, time to peek in. ]

... Hello?

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[let's say he's gotten the early rundown from Shrike and Cardigan and now he cursing again as he struggles his way thru dressing himself when he has two fewer limbs than would be useful for that.

startles as he pops his head into the t-shirt and finds gold there]

--Shit! You guys forget about knocking too?

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Blandly, it is way too early for Gold right now. ]

Sorry but also it sounded like multiple struggles happening so maybe I needed the element of surprise.

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[dryly]

At ease, soldier.

[pulling his shirt the rest of the way down over his battle scarred chest]

Actually, I could use your help. You kids got a -- [stops himself midway through what he was about to say, grimaces a bit and correct] -- a crutch or anything like that around here?

[unbr8kable]

[also rubbernecking 'cause of the commotion]

...More old guys...

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[he's managed to get as far as having an olive green tank top on, but his hawaiin boxers are still visible, along with the fact that he only two limbs and creepy white eyes]

More little girls. You kids really don't know how to knock.

[unbr8kable]

[looks him over with dubious interest--has the prosthetic crew got quorum yet?--but just smiles otherwise]

Oh, we know how.

Assuming you're the new guy. Rest of those invisible or you just hopping for now?

[claestrophe]

[ omg

ommmmgggggg!!! ]

WE GOT A GRANDPA! WE GOT A GRANDPA, EVERYBODY!

[ after taking a very short peek at--well honestly probably griffin wrestling with gramps (how cute, they're getting along so well already) kestrel is running around, excitedly shouting. well, in between when she has to stop and catch her breath, or sit down. she's definitely not over being sick but apparently doesn't really know how to take it easy.... ]

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[it sounds like we can meet after i am done having my ass kicked than put back together, tba]

[claestrophe]

[ she will be eagerly waiting in the wings!! ]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Griffin's climbing back in via the balcony later. Once everything's settled down a bit.

Hhhhhe's got a broken table to clean. But he looks much calmer!]

[jokesaboutrighthands]

[someone is sitting on the couch, patched up?? I assume so by now, reading through the newbie pamphlet, there is a crutch near by.

He doesn't pretend to not notice Griffin though, instead lifting his head and arching an eyebrow]

Back for round two? Or did you get it out of your system?

[gigadevilbreaker]

All right, that wasn't the best introduction.

[He is unnaturally placid now, compared to before.]

We lost a Game yesterday that hit me with anger issues. I mean, more than normal. Did someone explain that stuff t'you yet?
