James grinned around his cigarette and gave Gwen one of his lax salutes.
"Hey there, brainiac. Haven't seen you two around for a while, what's been keeping you so busy?"
@Gearhead mk2: Go ahead.

Few things to note. His eyes are metallic, not a normal shade. No hair grows on his head. And all along his face, and anywhere else you might get a glimpse except on his arms, thin white scar tissue has been etched on, and closer examining would note they definitely weren't accidental. the areas etched include most of his face. Still has normal facial features though, nose and ears. Some of the scars would probably be going into the socket of his eye before being covered by the new metal eyes.
Gold chuckled, and rubbed under one of his eyes. "Yeah, just trying out whats in vogue, you know? Name's Gold. Nice to meet you." gold extended a hand in greeting.

<color=purple>"Not much really. We've been trying to keep ourselves fit, so we don't go vegetating all day. We've been watching various matches all the while having our computers quantify the information about the portal we figured would be important."
<color=blue>"Hello Gold. Nice to meet you." She shook his hand. <color=blue>"By the way, is Gold a nickname? Although that would be quite an neat choice for a real name for a baby."

OoC: Seeing as Steak's bailed and I kind of want to hold off on Carmen...
A woman with a white fedora found herself in the dark room. As she walked through, her room was a simple and comfortable one, even having a small set of large teddy bears lined up against the way. She chuckled a bit at the display before walking out and eventually fumbling her way into the lounge, saying nothing for the moment.

"Ah, good to have work like that to keep yourselves busy. I've got to say, I'm starting to go a little stir-crazy here. It's great not having to pick your way through a post-apocalyptic hell every day, but doing nothing but exercising and drinking all day isn't the most interesting thing. Not to mention, I'd like to know how they're getting on with the war effort back home."
"It's the name my momma gave me alright. Said the day I was born, the sky had been golden. She felt it fit. I don't mind it either." Gold glanced at James, before turning back to EMily. He was about to say something more when he spied the woman in the white fedora, and watched her for a moment, curious about her.
<color=purple>"Well, do you have a game you like to play? I don't know how often you get to play board, card, or electronic games where you're from. But I sure would like to know if you have a favorite game. Maybe that would help ease some tension?"
<color=blue>"Hehe... that's neat. My own name is a half nickname, if one could call it that. The real name is just Emily. The EM in the other name just means 'electromagnetism.'" She turned to where Gold spotted someone in white. <color=blue>"Hmmmm? Do you know her?"

@Gear: You already know we're cool with it, just jump in.
Not really taking notice of Gold staring at her, she simply walked over to the bar and seemed to be looking for something non-alcoholic. After a good amount of rummaging, she managed to find a can of soda, which she popped open and sipped lightly. Seeming a little less tense, she calmly sat herself down on a couch and sighed happily. Noting Emily talk about her, she turned away, becoming a bit more tense again.
...It'd be embarrassing for people to see how bad I am at drinking... ...And I don't want to fight here if I can help it... Hopefully, this is a safe zone...

James shrugged.
"I used to be a gamer, but there hasn't been a games console running on my world for a decade. Not enough power to waste on them, you know? I was never good at card games. Well, except for Kings." He chuckled. "At least we have the alcohol for it."
Drayven turned away from the screen, growing tired of the fight. Glancing benignly at the newcomer in the white hat, he went to the seats and sat down, drawing a quill and leather-bound book from the folds of his robe.
@Gear Answered already.

OoC: @Gearhead and I'm fine with it. No need to ask if you want to join in. I can't speak for the others, but I'd always be fine with you joining us.
Gold shrugged, and turned back to EMily. "Not really, just checking out the people I haven't met yet. Want to be ready for a fight if one comes up." he smiled, and said "Oh really? Electromagnetism? any story behind that?"

<color=purple>"Kings huh? Is that like a trick taking game like Pitch?"
She took a deep breath, not exactly wanting to give a huge extensive version of her origins.
<color=blue>"Well, the condensed version of the story is that my sisters and I were once born as one. It's been told to us by our parents that soon after the birth, that child split into all four of us in a burst of bright white light. Each one of us representing one of four fundamental forces that govern the universe. And electromagnetism is the force that I inherited. Gwen over there inherited the force of gravity. There are far more details than that, so I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted any clarification." She shrugged.
OOC: Yup, changed their origin story a bit. Although it does still involve aliens.

OoC: K then. Skipping the whole "darkness, voiceover, personalised room" bit cause we already know how that turns out.
In the passageway holding the combatant's rooms, a girl glided out of one of the doorways, hovering a few centimeters off the ground. She looked up and down the passage, then slowly glided to the lounge, standing just outside the doorway and looking into the room.

"It's a drinking game. You lay a circle of cards around a pitcher. Each number on the card has a different rule attached to it, which everyone has to follow if it's drawn. Some cards require every player to pour a bit of drink in the pitcher. Whoever draws a King has to drink the resulting concoction. It's always fun with a good crowd, though it can get a bit messy."
Gold scooted imperceptibly away from EMily. "Ah. How much control do you have of this EM field exactly?"
In his seat, Drayven set his quill to paper, then frowned. Glancing around at everyone in the room, including the new blone girl at the door and the girl in the fedora sitting nearby in turn, he shook his head slightly then flipped a few pages back, beginning to scan through what was written.
Ness blinked a bit as she listened to EMily. She turned slightly in interest and also looked toward the blonde girl floating near the doorway, tilting her head a small bit. ....This is a lot like the lab... Maybe I'm not that far from home...
