[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.

[Well. That was strangely delivered, to say the least. But nevertheless Westley smiles and gratefully accepts the welcome.]

My thanks, madam.

I had noticed some level of polite disdain from the natives, yes. Typical distaste for the unusual, is it?

I don't even think it's because we're unusual to them, I don't think they like that we're here at all, actually.

Which makes me want to hang out with them even more.

[ EHEHEH but that's because Wichita's a brat yes ]

[A smile; he can appreciate a certain level of civil disobedience out of sheer spite. It landed him here and he has no regrets whatever.] That sounds like an adventure.

But it begs the question, why bring us here if it only serves to irritate them?

[ AHUEHUE she made westley smile. achievement unlocked. ]

Well I haven't been 100% filled in on the 'why', just that we can't leave and that we're expected to help rebuild the city in whatever way we can, but I'm pretty sure the locals don't have any say in it. [ a beat ] I don't think the turtle has any say either, but it makes more sense than saying we were all just magically warped here. I guess. [ anooother beat ] Never thought I'd be accepting a magical teleporting turtle as an explanation for something, but there's that.

Nor I. But I suppose now that we're in the same proverbial boat, no use dodging the point, is there? Disbelief will only get us so far when [he spreads his hands] nonetheless, here we are.

And to be fair, I never thought I'd be communicating on a device such as this. It would seem I'm at a disadvantage in more than one way.
