[The post opens on the video setting, with a curious-looking rather pointy-nosed sandy-haired man in Victorian garb looking at the console. He adjusts his cravat slightly.]

I believe this is the 'video' setting? And you all can see me? This really is marvelous, you know—or perhaps you don't, if you're used to it-

[He then abruptly switches to the audio setting, his voice gaining a shading of amusement.]

And I can certainly see the advantages of being heard, but not seen. How thoughtful of our hosts.

[Then the audio cuts off too, his fascination with this new technology overwhelming his usual good manners.]

And this, of course, is text. Most similar to what I'm used to, though this letter arrangement does not seem to be the most efficient. Are we capable of changing this? I'm sure there's a better arrangement for these.

qwertyuiop

That makes very little sense.

[ OH. OH GOOD. ]

That makes marginally more sense. Excuse my misunderstanding.

[ woops ]

I'm sure the fault is mine.

[He hopes there won't be sheep jokes. He's heard a lot of them.]

[ she has every right to make them now. ]

Only slightly.

[ she grins as she banters back with him, and takes a slow sip of her tea. ]

It wouldn't be mannerly to allow a lady to take the blame.

[Mm, tea. That would be nice. Was there any in those cupboards the kedan showed him? He doesn't remember.]

That's very gentlemanly of you. It's such a rare thing these days.

[ Inara bought hers - but you might be in luck! One never knew around here. ]

Is it? There was a surfeit of gentlemen back in London. [He chuckles. He rather likes this woman.]

It is. Where I hail from half of them might as well still using stone tools.

[ only...slightly sarcastic here. ]

Good heavens, how dreadful. I can't imagine.

[He winces. The very idea.]

[ okay, she's laughing now. ]

Oh, I suppose I'm being a bit unfair. A few have upgraded to pointed objects and vaguely identifiable grunts.

And they are paragons of their type, I am sure. I hope that the social scene here has been more rewarding?

Mmm. Only the highest class use metal.

[ to be fair she's mostly referring to Mal. mostly. ]

Oh, that it has. Haven't heard anyone beating on their chest yet, at any rate.

[He chuckles.] Well, it may be a nice change from what I've been used to as well. The pack tends to be somewhat unruly.

[ she's smiling still though it turns a liiiiittle questioning. ]

Pack?

Yes, I am Beta of the Woolsey Pack of werewolves. Second-in-command, you might say.

[ . . .what. ]

Werewolves.

Indeed, madam. [Doesn't he look like a werewolf, with that elegant cravat, that perfectly neat hair, and that utterly urbane smile? Of course he does.]

[ yeah exactly like the old earth legends. o.o ]

Ah. I...am sorry for my reaction. This...would be my first encounter with one.

[ now the sheep comment makes more sense ]

I am finding that very few seem to know my kind here. It is quite strange- at home in London, we're far better known.

[He smiles easily.] But there are no apologies necessary.

It's mostly legend, from what I'm aware of.

[ of course...so are reavers...]

However, that doesn't mean it isn't true, especially since I'm talking to you.

True in some worlds, false in others, perhaps?

[False in practically everywhere else, he's discovering.]

Possibly. I don't suppose you've heard of Reavers, have you?

Not in a legendary sense, no.

In any sense...?

I have heard the term 'reaver' before.

They're...not something you want to tangle with, really.

[video] but of course!
