Summer 10 - newcomer mingle

[kollomods]

[ It's late morning when the ferry comes around, landing on the jetty and letting off a small but valued group of new arrivals. Olivia is out there, greeting and handing out information packets.

Later in the afternoon, there's a small welcome party set up at the community center. The tables are laden with cinnamon buns, elderflower lemonade, fresh strawberries and an assortment of small cookies and other treats. There's also thirium lovingly set up to the side of the buffet, for the android population. Ingvar shows up a little later with his accordion, setting the mood with some traditional folk songs like he's wont to do. ]

( It is a little weird to Emil, but it's also somewhat relieving. Something about seeing all this food that's nice is a little too good to be true. Who cares if the verbiage is a bit bizarre? That means he can eat as many real cookies as he wants. )

Oh, yeah I did. Thank you for confirmation...? ( He picks up a strawberry and takes a bite...yup, that's indeed real. ) I'm Emil.

And that is...? ( Pointing at the blue drink in her hand. He's never seen fruit juice look so...cobalt. )

You're welcome.

[ Okay, she'll tone down the androidness there a bit. ]

It's nice to meet you, Emil. [ She glances at her cup. ] This is called thirium-310. Most people call it blue blood. It's kind of complicated, but it's basically fuel for androids. It keeps us running smoothly.

[ Surprise, Emil, this friendly and kind of weird lady is a robot! ]
