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 takes more than a moment for Emil to come out of his panicked state. His mind was truly going a mile a minute, thinking about eight hundred things he suddenly regretted.

When it finally registers that someone is speaking to him, it's all it takes for him to not suddenly panic more that someone is seeing him in this state. Oh no, oh no; what do you say to make it seem like you have everything together? )

I don't think I should be here...? ( That's...definitely not it!! It's also said like a question and there's no eye contact made. On paper there aren't any repercussions for being here, but in his mind it feels like it's the most weighty choice he's ever made, and now he's acting like a lunatic because of it.

Wonderful!! )
