I: [video]

[fearguard]

[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.

Dutch is a fine language, and I'm rather fond of the Netherlands as well.

[Canada isn't quite a thing yet for him, and neither is America.]

It's been a while since I've done much hand to hand, so I wouldn't mind doing either with you.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Should warn yah, I don't pull a lotta punches.

[Her habitual sparring partners have included any number of super-powered individuals, the boss, and a robot. Confidence comes pretty easily.]

[fearguard]

Neither do I.

[Though he's going to avoid breaking things. He's used to wrestling things like bears and various spirits that get out of hand.]

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

We have an agreement, then!

[Goody. She's been needing to hit things.]

[fearguard]

[He laughs.]

I'll try to remember not to bite then.

[Or claw your eyes out.]

I'll provide a meal for afterwards, is there anything you don't eat?

[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...

[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.

[fearguard]

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

At least with people meddling in it anyway.

[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.

[fearguard]

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

[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.

[fearguard]

Rotzi? That's not something I've heard of.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Eh, Nazi. It's just an easy dig. Drives the fifth column types crazy. Bad guys outta Germany, really into jackboots an' authoritarianism, not so much into democracy an' justice. Some of whom are real fond of mixin' science an' dark magic. Bad news.

[fearguard]

Germany has been about as peaceful as the rest of europe, though... I'm guessing that changes at some point then.

[Pity, he likes Germany for the most part. Lots of forests.]

Science is mostly magic that's been explained in ways that the culture understands better, and it's... more how it's used that is good or bad than it's inherent nature.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

I guess that's one way to look at it, but with the mess Von Schlitz has made of things, my usual reaction to magic is to figure out how I make it stop happening. I drop-kicked a demon through a half-formed portal to hell one time! That was fun.

[fearguard]

You'll have a hard time stopping me I think, I've been around the block a few times so to speak.

I'm one of the not-bad guys though, for what it's worth.

[girlinasquirrelsuit]

Oh, I'm not across the board against magic. The Stranger is one of our best allies, and we even sometimes managed to be civil to the Council of Mages. Heck, some of the Danger Federation kids do magic, I think. It's just gonna be a long time before studyin' it all nice-like really gets to be an option again.

[fearguard]

That's reassuring anyway.

These things take time, people need time to heal over societal wounds.
