[video] Checking In
[ It’s that time again, gang! Grif’s broadcasting from scenic his room. You can tell it’s Grif’s room because it is an absolute disaster area. There’s all kinds of empty containers strewn everywhere, a pizza box, his other uniform (it’s rumpled and in serious need of a wash), and scattered bits of an orange suit of armor. Of note to those who’ve born witness to this appalling scene before, the far wall has a shiny little plaque on it. That’s new.
All of this is visible in the frame because Grif’s slouching back in his chair with the comm propped up on his desk. He’s a scruffy, somewhat flabby guy swiveling his chair lazily to and fro with one leg while eating… something as he talks. With his mouth full. Because Grif. ]
Alright guys, it’s come to my attention, as the one who tries to keep track of this shit around here, that we have new people. And when we have new people, that means we have new superpowers to figure out how they work.
[ Because clearly, clearly Grif is the only member of the team to take an interest in others and what they can bring to the table. It’s not that he’s nosy and just wants to know if anyone has eye lasers yet. He just gives and gives for this group, he swears.
Grif deigns to swallow before he continues. ]
So: New people. Lay it on me. Who are you, and can you do anything awesome? If it’s not awesome, make it sound awesome, cause that’s what I’m here for.
I’ll start for you:
[ He thumbpoints at his chest, getting space twinkie crumbs everywhere because he’s using that hand. ]
I’m Grif, Doubletime if you want to be that nerd who uses my code name, and I’m pretty much the fastest thing on this ship. Which is awesome.
[ He pauses for a moment, then adds, ]
…And the rest of you should probably come say hi? Tell them stuff? And tell me about the mission because I was stuck back here babysitting the ship and I mean... I took a lot of good naps, but...
[ He shrugs. Then he finishes off the space twinkie, balls up the wrapper, and throws it over his shoulder where it lands on top of the orange helmet. He is not even remotely concerned by this. ]
((( This is a free for all mingle post! Grif will reply to everyone who responds, but if you want to have a character jump into a thread with anyone you are absolutely welcome and, in fact, encouraged. This is set after the end of Lantern Plot, so characters who've been away on that are able to tag in too. )))

[ Though it seems like Dipper probably realizes that much. He's just...not quite untangled. ]
Thanks. For having my back.

[He was about to ask if he wanted to hang out when they let him out of Medbay but he's awkward about these things in general and right now he's still in crazy yellow mode sometimes and he figures that's even more reason another kid wouldn't want to hang out with him.]

Hey, uh. How long are they keeping you in there?

I could eat! They fed me earlier but I'm still hungry. I didn't eat at the yellow camp because I figured it was probably failed recruits.
[The other other other white meat.]
Probably none of them were human so it wouldn't have technically been cannibalism, but it really sort of still is when you think about it.
[He says it like he's forgotten cannibalism isn't a topic for casual conversation.]
The only thing is they're willing to let me out but I think they want me to have a chaperone on the first day or two after my treatments, but they said other Legionnaires can be, so I'll ask if you count even though you're not much older!
[The video clicks off but clicks on again not long after.]
They said yes! One of the medtechs said they can bring me to you and they'll leave but I have to stay with you or another teammate when I'm out of the Medbay.

Hey, there's no way we can get into any more trouble here than my little sister.
[ He's totally used to being a ~chaperone~. Except this time he's pretty sure they won't blow any holes in any walls, so he's already doing better. ]
I'm in the common room on level fifteen. Not planning on going anywhere for a while, so that should be fine.
