[A blond, pony-tailed man with discerning blue eyes peers into the camera, pausing momentarily as though he expected something significant to happen. And then he raises his eyebrows and quirks one side of his mouth in a facial shrug, apparently deciding to move on despite the lack of it.]

I suppose this is more efficient than quill and ink, but it lacks a certain panache, wouldn't you say? [Being that Westley's not quite certain who he's addressing, best to presume there's someone or another there.]

So, here we are. Not that I can particularly identify who "we" are other than myself, nor am I especially well-versed in where "here" is, but thus the point of my inquiry. [A small, thin smile at his humor, which somehow manages to come off as less self-congratulatory and more charming.] Perhaps someone might be so kind as to share whatever they feel is relevant to a relative newcomer.

Oh, and I nearly forgot.

[He didn't, but best to come off casual about this specific area.]

If anyone can point me toward a blacksmith, that would be quite helpful.

Don't get too close to the edge of the turtle shell. The people here are pretty cranky. Oh, and I can't find a pizza place.

[franchisepirate]

I'm proficient both at swimming and at dealing with less than friendly individuals. [To say the least. Charm and a versatile skill set of fighting techniques can go quite a long way.] I'm afraid you have me at a loss as to your last complaint, however.

[backinakidflash]

I have it on good authority that the barrier around the edge of the turtle knocks you out cold, so I wouldn't go for a swim. Unless you want to find out if you're proficient at drowning. Why would you want to be proficient at drowning? You don't know what pizza is?

[franchisepirate]

That does put a finer point on things, doesn't it? [He's not going to like this place much, that's obvious.]

And I'm afraid I'm at a loss as to your "pizza." Apologies.

[backinakidflash]

It sucks, yeah.

Pizza is the greatest foodstuff known to mankind.

[franchisepirate]

Unequivocally? [Now he's just amused. The greatness or lack thereof of food is typically the last thing on his mind; he's quite content to have anything at all to eat.] I suppose I must sample it.

[backinakidflash]

Unequivocally. Let me know if you find any.
