[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.

That makes very little sense.

A pleasure, then, Miss Stephanie. I am Professor Randolph Lyall.

[He notes the name Tony Stark down.]

It's nice to meet you. Can I ask what you're a professor of?

[cravats]

Sheep, mostly.

[controlledvariable]

Ah, agriculture?

[She's just going to assume that's what he means? Sheep???]

[cravats]

Specifically their breeding, if you will excuse me being so bold. [It's shocking to talk about breeding to a lady.]

[She's not even remotely bothered]

Sheep husbandry, then? How do you end up with a career like that?

It's really more of a hobby. Immortality leaves you with a great deal of time to study.

[controlledvariable]

And yet you're a professor of it. [That's some hobby, sir.]

An immortal professor, apparently.

I do have quite a bit of time. [Well, at least he calls himself a professor.]

I am a werewolf. Immortality is part of the requirements.

At least you're using it productively. [She's teasing, just a little.

But the werewolf comments get a raised eyebrow.] Isn't that usually the sort of thing you want to keep to yourself?

[Not that she's judging, bro, but uh

what.]
