Ahoy fellow citizens!
Ive just arrived on this phenomenal island and thought it would be quite discourteous of me to not introduce myself now that im all settled.
The names english. Jake english. *double pistols and a wink*
If youve heard of me please do contact me asap i would love to catch up with any friends especially since some of you might already be here what with time stopping back home and all. I hope at least someone has!
Ive never seen a swimming turtle island before.
I cant refute i wish i could have had my own personal one to carry my own island around!
It would have been a lot easier going to visit jane if i could have just swam up there and arrived in style on the back of a large sea creature! Haha the look on her face would be priceless shed be so flabbergasted!
May i inquire if anyones done much exploring outside of the city?
Im a man of adventure you see and if theres anything thats been left untouched why i would give up my right leg to be the first to explore it!

[OOC: Jake has a unique way of typing so I apologize for all the grammar and punctuation problems 8D]

[There's no mistake, somehow he'd lucked out and they'd apparently arrived around the same time. A weight's lifted from his shoulders but with that another added. It's not just himself he has to worry about here, but Jake as well now. Jake who like himself has never been in a city full of people before, but unlike him who wasn't exactly the type to instantly adjust.

He barely skims over what's written before switching over to video and making the feed private, no one else needs to see this. He's already standing from his chair in front of the console, ready to leave.]

Where are you?

[OH THANK GOD SOMEONE HE KNOWS, HE'S NOT ALONE. Jake's face lights up in response.]

Jesus christmas, Dirk, I am so damn glad to see you!!!

[There's just the barest hint of a smile at those words. If it had to be anyone, he's glad it's Jake.]

As much as I can say that I'm glad to see you too given our unusual circumstances and location there's still the problem of you not answering my question. Now we can either sit here and bullshit around on these computers on a network that may not even be secure to talk freely on or you can tell me your location so I can find you and then we can talk.

Re: private; video

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Yes, yes, of course! I'm in the wood sector.

[ironicprince]

That gives me a general idea at least but how about we go with the exact number or general area and you can just wait outside for me.

Re: private; video

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Let me see...
It's 1C. I'll await your arrival by the door.

[Santo will reject text forever]

Dude, did you really just type out you doing something? Something that also I imagine looked ridiculous?

[skullsandfisticuffs]

[Blinks at him quizzically for a moment before leaning forward like he's about to give away a secret.] Are... you alright, sir? You look a little... stoney.

[zerotoawesome]

I can assure you that I am not high.

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Are you wearing some sort of suit?

[Video]

[zerotoawesome]

... I'm wearing pants right now?

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Your, ah, complexion? is very odd...

haven't even intro'd him yet but couldn't resist. Also text.

[mopirates_moproblems]

That is not the correct usage of 'ahoy,' Mr. -- English, was it?

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Its not?

[mopirates_moproblems]

Are you hailing a ship?

[skullsandfisticuffs]

No?
Im hailing people!

[mopirates_moproblems]

Then you might try 'hello.'

[skullsandfisticuffs]

Whats wrong with ahoy?

[god he's pretty sure he knows anglais but he couldn't translate like half of that—and the ones he does he can't fully comprehend like what are all your modern phrases!]

Jane? Might she be a lover, Monsieur?

[well he got that much out of it, at least!]

[skullsandfisticuffs]

What!
Me and jane?!
No no no jane and i are simply very good friends!
Dirk is my paramour.

[saisamour]

[ skfjvjfv your what ]

Your illicit lover? asdffg

[ oops how do you backspace? but it doesn't matter now because in his state of fluster he accidentally presses the enter button instead ]

[skullsandfisticuffs]

What???
Lover?!
Devil fucking dickens no!
I mean hes my boyfriend!

[saisamour]

I see! A male friend! I too have one similar. [ sob ]

[ironicprince]

[Dirk just happens to be with Jake looking over his shoulder, and he snorts in amusement at those words. He's been wondering when someone would call Jake out on his misuse of certain words. Sorry Jake, he has to cut in with his two cents.]

That's not what he meant despite being what he said. He was under the impression it was a synonym to lover without taking into consideration the other more obvious connotations behind it. Saying boyfriend would have been easier but he's never been the type to bother using the same language as the rest of us.

[saisamour]

I can see how it might be confusing! However, I am new to the language so I might likely cause some misunderstandings of my own.

Might I assume that you are his male friend?
