[ooc: No spoilers for Frozen, jsyk.]

[Despite having been taught how to use the computers and the seeming necessity of doing so, Hans hadn't been quick to make his entrance. He's been observing, trying to get an idea of the sort of people he'll come across here, it's a while before he's entirely ready to begin playing along.

A bright, smiling face will appear on the feed, he's pretty delighted that he's learned how to work the contraption with such ease. He seems a little unsure of how to start, whether he should introduce himself or head straight into the issues here. Instead, he opts for small talk.]

It was very nice of the people here to teach us how to use these, we don't have anything like it where I'm from. [He gives a soft laugh.] I thought I should take the time to introduce myself. I am Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, but since they aren't here... [He trails off, looking just a bit concerned by that.] Hans, will do.

I haven't been here long, so any information you can provide would be most appreciated..And in turn, if there is any way in which I can assist you, please do not hesitate to let me know. [He can't help bowing his head a little at the computer. He's not really sure if you're meant to bow at them. Royalty could be watching, it seems a safe bet.]

[Bryn is by no means part of an official welcome wagon, and as the second child of a Nocri, as far from royalty as one can get in Askoupur while still considered part of the noble class.

However the fact that he's a Prince and has introduced himself as such, and shown a willingness to adapt and put that title aside...well, Bryn's more than happy to reach out. She starts a video feed and greets him with a smile and a wave.]

It's nice to meet you Hans, I'm Bryn Zethir from Askoupur. [You probably haven't heard of it before.] Was there any information in particular you were hoping to get?

[hanssome]

The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure. [He smiles right back, hesitating a little before he waves his hand back. Fascinating.] It's kind of you to ask- I have a lot of questions but I'm sure that's no surprise given where we are... I wondered if anyone from Arendelle had arrived before me? Maybe someone from the Southern Isles, even?

[Sabriel's unnaturally face pops up on the screen, looking a bit distracted, though not completely unhappy, since she just got back from turtle-sitting duty.]

Your highness. [Formality might be unnecessary, but sometimes etiquette training takes over.] Have you been informed about the reason why we've been brought here?

My name is Sabriel- welcome to Keeliai, although I'm afraid you've caught us at a bit of a busy time.

Video

[hanssome]

I have, yes. It all seems a bit grim, doesn't it? But I will do what I can, if I am at all capable of helping.

Thank you, it's nice to meet you. [Yep, etiquette is definitely important here.] Do you mind if I ask why that is?

video - beware. thar be spoilers.

[Elsa has been watching too. The video feeds zipped by all day, the over stimulation was enough to drive her a bit crazy. That and the entire disconcerting way in which she arrived left her feeling a bit unsocial.

Then he shows up.



Oh. This will just make her day.

Anna isn't here but Hans is.

She can't ignore him. Running into him in this foreign place would be worse than attempting a conversation now.

She takes a breath to steady herself and then flips her feed on. ]

I hadn't been expecting to see a familiar face so quickly, Prince Hans. [she keeps up the even tone. He's familiar with it, and she's not about to let her emotions show through-- for the moment. ] Though it's my understanding that these conversations are all on public record. Perhaps it would be better if we spoke in person?

[she doesn't know what he knows. And right now she's not looking to make any strife]

video follow for more soft spoilers

[hanssome]

[Hans is surprised when Elsa contacts him first. The idea that people could arrive from different points hadn't been one he'd considered just yet, so for her to approach him at all.. Well?

He's just going to play it cool.]

Queen Elsa! Thank goodness you've arrived safely. [He smiles just as politely as she talks.] Indeed it would. [Now he's wary.] Do you have any idea where we could meet?

[beunbroken]

[A petite brunette appears on the screen, her blue eyes wide as she does her best to curtsey on the screen.] You're a prince? A real one?

[She has never met a prince. Okay, so Elizabeth has not met a lot of people in her young life, at least until she got here, so that should be no surprise.] I've never heard of the Southern Isles before... [He is clearly from a different universe.]

But welcome! You'll get a hang of the technology pretty quickly- it's not too hard. We didn't have much like it where I came from, either. At least... Not this advanced. Oh- hello. I'm Elizabeth.

[hanssome]

[He can't help cracking a smile at the curtsey, though he looks pretty confused at that question.] I suppose it's a good thing I didn't bring all thirteen of my brothers. We're all princes.

You aren't the first one, it seems. It's terribly disconcerting. [But he can't look worried for long when she's being so accommodating.] I'm sure it just takes practice. Thank you, Elizabeth.

[Video]

[unconchonable]

Prince?

[That certainly stuck out to Eridan. Maybe as much as his not so humans features may stick out to Hans.]

Fellow royalty is always welcomed company as far as I'm concerned. Eridan Ampora, Prince of Hope. [He says all too proudly, even gesturing to himself as he says it with a bejeweled hand.]

A pleasure, I'm sure. Word of adwice for a fellow monarch: awoid the wood and water sectors, they're less than presentable for royalty a any sort. Definitely for those more accustomed to bein' part a the proletariat. Or more accustomed to liwin' in filth, perhaps ewen both.

[Video]

[hanssome]

[Sticking out is right. Hans has had some dealings with the not-so-normal, but he certainly can't boast experience with someone who looks like Eridan. However, since he doesn't seem to be posing a threat, he'll approach the situation like he would with any normal person.]

Really? Well, that's certainly good to hear! I'm not opposed to familiarising myself with non-royals, but the advice is helpful nonetheless.

[But back to the important things.] Hope? Is that your kingdom? [He's heard stranger things.]

yo what up princey pants.
what you good at.

[hanssome]

[And somehow this is weirder to him than the grey person, he's not terribly good at typing yet but he needs all the practice he can get.]

Hello.
I'm not sure what you mean, exactly? I'm good at a lot of things! Princes have to be.
Were you hoping for something specific?

[Calypso knows this feeling, she wasn't the most comfortable with these contraptions at first, even if they were a little more common in the mortal realm from her time.]

I haven't been here long myself, Prince Hans, but I am willing to answer any questions you may have. I am Calypso... ah... I don't know if I should say welcome? As many find their arrival here very unwelcome to what they're used to...

video;

[hanssome]

You wouldn't be the first to welcome me, that's for sure. [He can't help laughing a little, it's really the oddest thing.] Don't feel too concerned, it's kind of endearing. All of these strangers in a similar situation coming forward to offer assistance.

It's nice to meet you, Calypso.

[Rapunzel waves and bows her head respectively. She's never met a prince before, but she's part of the welcoming crew and she's not about to be stopped in that.]

Hello Prince Hans. Welcome to Keeliai. My name is Rapunzel.

[hanssome]

[Hans waves his hand in return, though he's a little more awkward in the action. The combination of meeting all these people and meeting them through a little. box. thing. It's a little overwhelming, even for him.]

Thank you! I must say I never expected such a warm reception here. [There's a pause as he reflects on what he's said.] N-not to sound rude, of course. It's very much appreciated.

[werethatgood]

[ Hey, Hans, see a cheerful fifteen-year-old blonde with a bright smile and amused eyes. ]

A prince, huh? I think that makes you... the second, or third, one that I know. Depending on whether the heir of Latveria's throne counts as a prince, but that's complicated.

[ Because Kristoff. ... no, not that Kristoff! ]

[hanssome]

[Hans is going to match cheer with more cheer and smile right back.]

I'm glad to be one of them! It's certainly jarring to be one of such a small number compared to what I'm used to.

[manofiron]

[ There are numerous things he could address here, but he focuses on the most important. ]

I hope you mean you have technology that's better than these hunks of junk. Not worse.

[ He's met people here who don't have technology of any sort and that's just horrifying on a visceral level. ]

[hanssome]

Ah, no! Quite the opposite, actually. We don't really have all that much in the way of.. [What's the word, what's the word.] Computers. Is that a problem?

[video]

[littlecousin]

Hi, Hans. I'm Princess Namorita of Atlantis.

[She's wearing a bathing suit despite the weather and has her chin propped on one hand while she talks and is just generally not acting even slightly royal.

Also, she has pointed ears.]

It's not usually this cold, for one thing.

[Though she's quite obviously not bothered.]

[video]

[hanssome]

A Princess? Oh-- [Hans straightens quite visibly, what is computer etiquette. He kind of half bows at the screen and it's probably one of the most awkward things he's ever had to do.]

It's not too different from what I left, actually. I almost wish I'd had my coat on me when I got here, though.

[grigio]

[There's a blue eyed girl on the screen. Her smile is friendly and open and there may be a smudge of gold paint under her left eye. She doesn't know it's there. There's a thin paintbrush held between her fingers as she speaks, gesturing with it as she talks.]

Hi! I'm Julie. Welcome. It's a pleasure to meet you. I've only been here a few months, but I might be able to help with some of the questions you may have. Especially if they're about restaurants.

[Listen. She's an apocalypse survivor. Food is a Big Deal. She can help with other stuff, certainly. But she remembers being very hungry when she got here.]

Video:

[hanssome]

[Hans zeros in on that paint smudge, but he's wondering if it's rude to bring it up when she's being so friendly. It also reminds him just a little of Anna, so it gets a smile out of him.]

Hello Julie! You.. certainly know what's important, don't you? [He laughs.] If you know where I can get a good sandwich, I'd love to hear it.

[He pauses, smiling for a moment before piping up.] Are you painting?

[candystriped]

Hmm... a prince? What kind of proof do you have?

video;

[hanssome]

Proof? [He raises a brow.] I'm sorry, but I don't really have anything on me that could prove it. I've never had to before!

[nerdylilspidey]

If you ever need any more questions about "these things"- [He indicates the console.] -feel free to ask anyone.

[hanssome]

[He can't help letting out a laugh at that.] I feel a little cheated being one of the only ones so new to the concept.
