welcome, new visitors

[modconcierge]

There isn't much fanfare for the new crop of visitors who have come in this month, but what they encounter is quite wondrous. Is it a cruise ship? Is it a hotel? Is it a tiny planet? No one can give them a straight answer, but all are encouraged to take part in the buffet, where visitors may find an assortment of foods both familiar and unfamiliar to them. There is an open mic night happening in one of the lounges on site, featuring staff and visitor performances. Or there are a handful of shops to browse if you're amenable to trading.

Visitors will find that the Hotel Multiverse at the Edge of the Cosmos between Canons (its official name) is very much alive beyond the bustling crowd. In fact, it might just be listening to you and anticipating your needs.

As for the rest? Well, that's up to you. You may as well socialize, right?

They're not bad. [A gesture to the food!] Just avoid the blue chips. ["Fries" to Americans.] They're too peppery and slimy and the texture is all off.

[Rose Tyler is a million kinds of trying weird space foods always. It's one of her favorite parts of time-space travel okay!]

I'm Rose Tyler, by the way. [She hasn't gotten a beat on how comfortable or not (Jim) is with space travel and to be fair, food was the FURTHEST thing from her mind on her first trip, too overwhelmed by the new people and sights and how alien it all was. Though maybe he just knows something she doesn't.]

Eugh, slimy. Thanks, but they've got some stuff I'm allergic to in them. [ he tugs a small scanning device out of his pocket and lifts it so she can see, then tucks it back away. ] My First Officer and my Chief Medical Officer throw fits if I eat things without testing first. Last time I landed somewhere and put something in my mouth without letting them scan it, you'd have thought I stepped onto a grenade.

[ he's smiling though, shifting aside and nodding so she can sit by him if she'd like. ]

At least the alcohol passed the test. Name's Jim Kirk. It's a pleasure to meet you. First time here? Seems to me most people's, but you never know.

Convenient. [The device. The allergies are obviously anything but. And her eyebrows raise immensely!] I cannot blame them there! [Takes that seat cheerfully!] Blimey, I'd be scared to eat anything too if that was the risk. [Face scrunch.] Luckily the Doctor says my ancestors were basically badgers, and they could eat anything and everything. And yes, that's even more rude than it sounds.

Here-here, yes, first time. Here as in space, and dimension traveling? Not at all. You get used to it after the first dozen. Though my first trip was really jumping into the deep end. There was only one other human than me, and she was flat. I don't mean like chest, [VAGUE GESTURE to her chest region.] I mean literally, she was 2D skin stretched out on a frame. The "last pure human," because everyone else danced with other species and the like.

[James Kirk :O She's a big fan!!! But she only knows the William Shatner version, and for all she knows it's similiar to the (many) Doctor Who/Which/What/How/Where tv shows and not really like the real thing whatsoever. Ah yes, one of the many many problems with her traveling the way she does. Maybe military style had something to do it, though Rose probably couldn't do it. Too much inclination to tell her officers to stfu. You know... pretty much her favorite thing about Kirk.] If you see him around, say 'hello' to a friend of mine: Captain Jack Harkness. You might get along famously. [And/or it's a long running inside joke because Jack didn't know Star Trek before. And/or she's nudging people at Jack to be flirted with? Rose is not thinking too deeply on it.]
