[quote=Penny]“Oh my god, Caelea? I’d say what are the odds, but I’m starting to feel like they’re being stacked. Welcome to Paradise, glad to have you. That’s Odessa. She’s a fern or something like—shit!” [/quote]
“Heh, yeah maybe some bullshit fate just wants us all to be together again... can’t say I’m glad to be here, but-” Caelea started, before flinching back and raising her hands in a defensive pose as someone stuck a gun through the hole in the door before eventually following through. She slowly forced herself to relax as Penny seemed to recognise him. She tugged at the long sleeves of the hoodie she was wearing and turned from her friend to look at the other rather strange looking girl (and completely ignoring the dancing guy).

“Caelea,” the albino tilted her head as Odessa seemed to hold back on saying something else. Then she just shrugged. “Nice to meet you too… I gotta ask, what does Penny mean by you being like a fern or something?”

Sounded like something right out of the Triffid movie her brother had made her watch. She’d seen weird back in Farmer Hill but this was a new kind of strange. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes when Zoey overdramatically destroyed the stereo even as a smile tugged at her lips.

[i]When will these introductions end?[/i] Caelea turned to face the dancing douchebag who’d introduced himself in a way that just made her want to punch him in his smug face. The wink especially had her blood boiling but she pushed that down. She wasn’t fucking it up right now. So instead she put on an overly friendly smile and responded, “I’m Caelea. Do you have a normal, first name that you go by?”

She then turned to flash a hopefully more genuine, warm smile at Stacey - who looked like he was gonna throw up any minute. Of the three strangers to her he was top of the list to be nice to, only because he looked so terrified. “Nice to meet you too, Stacey, right?”

She glanced back at Agent Douchebag as he went on to dramatically proclaim they weren’t alone. Only for a familiar, deep voice to dramatically respond. 

“Hagan?! Fuck, this just keeps getting stranger…” Caelea put her hands on her hips as she craned her head to look up at him. “I swear you’ve gotten even taller. How is that possible?” 

But Odessa was right - there were more important things right now than this unexpected reunion. Like getting off the ship as soon as possible. Caelea didn’t know what the fuck was meant by them not being alone but she was pretty sure there was a chance of it being some kind of monster like Zoey had mentioned fighting. Better to get away from that and to solid land.

“I agree with Odessa, I don’t know what’s on shore,” she shrugged, assuming the others did, “but it’s better than a ship, right? I don’t like the idea of staying here…”

“Though doesn’t anyone know how to actually launch one of those things?”
