[What greets the feed is a pair of frowning blue eyes and the sounds of buttons being hit on the console, along with the mutterings of a Welsh-accented voice.]

Is this blasted device going to function...? Might be a kick or two will sort it out--

[Thankfully, before he resorts to that, the man realises he's done something correctly and the feed is displaying. He draws back, revealing a tanned, weather-beaten and scarred face, and a nose that looks like it's been mashed in at least once, all framed by a mess of blond hair. The man seems cheery enough, at least, despite his potentially fierce appearance.] Ah-- Ahoy, lads and ladies. Seems I'm a new addition to this little turtle-backed voyage. Name's Edward.

[He almost considered giving a false name, but really, who would recognise him in this place? And even if they did, they'd pose no threat to him, alone and without allies here. In any case...]

This wouldn't be the first time I've been whisked away by some Emperor or another, but I've little reason to bend the knee to this one. [He smiles, mirthlessly.] To business, then. I'd be much obliged if one of you charming bunch could introduce yourselves, and tell me where the best place is to knock back a drink.

[Priorities. So in order.]

To put it simply: Yes. Some might find it preferably from whatever hellhole they left behind, but some of us are a touch hot under the collar for being pulled away from all we've ever known.

[ Miranda lip pulled back in a sneer before she recomposed herself to her natural state of little to no obvious emotion. ]

If you don't mind my asking - Are you technologically illiterate?

I can read and write decent enough, if that's what you're asking.

[He shrugs. That would be a "no", sorry.]

No. [ She said flatly before making a sort of waving gesture around her own console. ] I meant you're not accustomed to this as a means of communication.

What gave you that idea? [He feigns a look of surprise, amused. At least he didn't actually go through with kicking the console.] I'm guessing this is all familiar to you.

I make my fair share of...educated guess. [ He was taking this better than she had expected; it was almost prepossessing. ] Intimately. If you were looking to better acquaint yourself.

[Partly he's in the denial stages still, at this point. It makes matters decidedly easier to deal with.]

That I am. If you fancy it, you're welcome to join me for a drink and a chat, perhaps tell me more about this place.

[ Miranda nods; she thinks nothing of helping a fellow foreigner behind on the times beyond a simple side jobs. ]

Sure. I could do with something that isn't the basic piss the locals have on tap; Bresilyk or here?

This Bressy-place, that's the mainland, isn't it? I wouldn't mind seeing it.

[Excellent pronunciation there, Edward.]
