As the Tempu led the group into the common area, Coin felt more and more uncomfortable. It felt like the first day of school: everybody had branched off into their own little groups, conversing, and there were a few left straggling around. [i]Well, you aren't going to get anything done just standing around, woman. Get it together and pick someone to talk to,[/i] Coin reasoned in her head, beginning to scan the room. 

The first person she laid her eyes on was the Dirophyd that had been in the first group she had met upon entering the building. Coin recalled that Dirophyds were known for their engineering talent; hopefully that stereotype remained true here. Engineering was something Coin knew well. She brushed a hand through her hair before walking up to the Dirophyd confidently. "Hi," Coin waved awkwardly as she moved into his line of sight. "My name's Coin, but you probably know that because I introduced myself earlier, huh... So yeah. I'm a, uh... I'm an engineer of sorts. I like guns," Coin offered weakly. [i]You are so fucking bad at this, Coin. You're just as bad as when you started high school twenty years ago,[/i] Coin told herself, shaking her head internally. She glanced from side to side, trying to take the conversation somewhere else. "I'm actually a doctor. For guns. I'm pretty good with guns." Coin made a mental note to slap herself when she was alone. This was embarrassing.
