[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. )))

[ Look he needs someone to gush at. ]
no subject
If everything else didn't sound horrible, I might even be jealous.

[ He's gonna try very hard to not seem like these kinds of stakes are normal to him. ]
no subject
[ A pause. ]
Unless nobody told me.
...You guys would tell me if somebody died, right?
no subject

Like maybe somebody died, but it's top secret. Or they came back as a ghost. Shit like that happens.
no subject
... Huh. Alright, fair enough.
no subject
Wait, you're agreeing with me?
no subject
I'm uh... pretty used to things not being simple.
no subject
It was fucking weird.
[ ...Yeah he still doesn't know they weren't ghosts. ]
no subject
... Then again, I've never been dead long enough to see the other world, so I can't say anything.
