[Koz can't do much with the storm going on so he's going to make some conversation with the people at large here.]

While I'm aware that english, or at least a variation on it, is the language most used here I'm curious what other ones people know or are more comfortable with at the very least. I'm familiar with quite a few so if there's one you'd prefer speaking in I'm more than willing to oblige.

A language barrier shouldn't be a reason for us to be unable to work together and if anyone wishes to learn a language I'm more than willing to teach.

[There's a pause.]

I'm also wondering if anyone skilled with a sword could use a sparring partner, I seem to be short one.

I w!ill tryy to spek to himn. Perhaps tis m3rely you are from a w0rldk close to his omn that iss not the sam3e.

Be well, my freennd.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Nnnnope. Not picky.

[Of course, she means that by the standards of cheap sandwich counters in 1940's Toronto, mostly. But she's pretty flexible.]

That's some hospitality you got goin' there. I might like you.

[fearguard]

[Toronto doesn't exist for him, and neither have the 1940's yet. He does, however, know how to use a camp fire to great effect.]

It's only proper to offer food to guests, I'd offer more but I haven't a house yet.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Well, good. I can't make tinned soup come out without scorching. Do a pretty good peanut butter and jelly, though.

[fearguard]

...peanut butter and jelly?

[Hi, last he was told it was the 18th Century or so.]

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

...Y'know, I just cannot get a bead on this place.

[fearguard]

It's not your fault, time doesn't seem to be working properly here and it's a different planet.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Oh, that's just peachy. If there's anything I love like creepy extra universes, it's time travel...

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Well, I speak Mandarin. Just about everyone speaks both where I'm from.

[fearguard]

[That gets a laugh.]

The universe is a lot bigger than most people care to think, you don't need an extra one to be very far from home.

Time travel however, is apparently a thing here.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Yeah, I've done it at home a couple'a times. It's confusing as all get out an' never goes well.

[Video]

[fearguard]

Interesting, I would've thought there'd be a few more similarities between the two languages than english and mandarin.

[fearguard]

Mn, I'm beginning to think that as well.

At least with people meddling in it anyway.

[audio]

[galacticheroine]

I'm guessing you're one of those people a lot older than you look?

[audio]

[fearguard]

There's a very good chance I'm the oldest living thing other than the planet itself here.

[audio]

[galacticheroine]

Huh, no kidding. How old, if you don't mind me asking?

[audio]

[fearguard]

Not counting the time I didn't measure time in earth years?

At least forty thousand. I stopped keeping count a while ago.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

People from the future make you do dumb things, 'cus you think that them existing means it'll all be okay, and people in the past, you gotta let be, or you break everything. Yeesh.

[Kaylee still doesn't find it terribly strange]

THey were the two big languages when we went to space. Stuck around after.

[fearguard]

Technically people from the future aren't supposed to interfere with the past anyway, pure observation.

[Video]

[fearguard]

Oh, I'm glad people go back to space eventually. So much more room to develop.

Re: [Video]

[wrench_and_ruffles]

Back?

[That... was a new one]

[Video]

[fearguard]

Yes, back.

There was a great deal of life out there before humanity evolved. It was simply wiped out in a war that was lost.

[audio]

[galacticheroine]

That's... impressive. I actually had an alien on my squad who was older, but he spent most of that time in cryogenic stasis. Probably doesn't count.

Are you from earth or... what are you? [Not human had been something she'd gleaned from their first meeting, but aliens where she's from generally can't change shape at will.]

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Wouldn't opt in, trust me. But when the baddies are digging around, stopping them is worth the trouble. We had a thing this one time, went back to the Wild West, ended up breaking all the stuff that a certain Rotzi scumbag built there. So I guess we equaled out.
