Gadriel | Warhammer 40K

Arrival

[He's been pulled out suspended animation before, so for a moment, the disorientation is 'normal'. Expected, at least, to suddenly come to and not know where you are, or who you are, and then get struck with the sinking feeling that everyone you knew the last time you were awake...is probably dead now.

[So he clocks the whole situation as 'oh, a LOT of time has passed and things are different' until the whole thing about saving the world. He thought Etraya was the name of the new ship he was on, like the Resilient.

[He's still processing it, and how BRIGHT everything is. So much light, and none of it candles or torches. But he knows to be quiet during a briefing, so he sits, and listens, head bowed, obedient.

[He makes an obvious and hard to miss sight, down by the snacks--he's nine feet tall, his face ripped with scars, and wearing a heavy suit of armor, with a chainsword. Definitely does not fit into the hospital waiting room vibe. He's also looking slightly scared of the food. He's tried one or two things, and other than the coffee, most of it has just too much flavor for him. He manages to eat them, because he needs the calories and glucose is one of the nutrients he knows he needs and can taste in them, but he does NOT look like he is enjoying them. ]


Do they have any with less...flavor?

Railway Adventures
[The railway map was something else, and he spends the next several hours randomly getting off and on at different points, trying to orient himself to this place. ]
(ooc: feel free to bump into him, physically, in any location. He's large will probably stop and stare at just about anything.)


Love is in the Air

[Flowers. He has to give flowers to someone? This is possibly the most absurd mission he has ever been sent on.

[Still, he has had it ingrained in him to follow orders when given, so if you cross his path, at any point, he may shove a flower at you. It may be a rose, or it may be some flower he yoinked out of someone's garden. Whatever.]


HERE. [Surely that's romantic. A large person shoving floral items at you. So much charm. Very romantic.]

Magnetic attraction
[Well, this is your lucky day, if by lucky day, you mean a day when suddenly everything you do is shadowed by someone large and heavily armed, following you around. Every time you look over at him, though, he is either staring directly at you, or assiduously staring in the opposite direction.

[At least his weapons aren't drawn so he's probably harmless, right? ]

What?

(ooc: the standard wildcard, just feel free to bump into him anywhere and do things. He WILL actually talk. He's just not great at initiating conversations that have nothing to do with things like killcounts and Imperium history. )
