[A man stands out in the open rainstorm, blond hair matted to his forehead as his head leans back to let the drops hit down on his face.

There would be normally nothing unusual about this...except for the clouds of steam rolling off from his body and a faintly audible hiss.]

Nice weather we're having.

[He looks down, puts a cigarette into his mouth and exhales. The tip burns bright, then dims and smokes. He covers his free hand over it to avoid the rain.]

So now that the ice is broken-- [He takes a drag and exhales out his nose.]

Someone wanna give me directions to the information desk? I seemed to have lost my tourist information on random-ass-padded-wall-worthy-oh-my-fucking-god-is-that-a-space-ship land.

Cool rain. Cool wind. Some mildly concerning strikes of lightning...

[Completely not addressing the fact he is steaming.]

Nah, I'm good.

[he looks sceptical, but...] Well, if you're certain.

Oh, and yes, I'm fairly sure that is indeed a space ship.

But from where?

No no no wait scratch that. Forget where it's from, I don't even know where here is let alone something from space. That's a whole 'nother can of worms I don't have the stomach to pry open.

I've the impression this a dangerous place to stay ignorant in.

[fireofunknown]

But ignorance is such a blissful natural state!

[He sighs.]

Look, one thing at a time. I barely know where here is let alone what's-- [He gestures up waving his arm.] up there.

[he offers a sympathetic smile; he knows, intellectually at least, that such things can be overwhelming] Well, I can help with that, at least. You're on a planet called Verdana. I'm not certain of the star system, I'm afraid. I was heading to Vega Opsis, but clearly that didn't quite work.
