So.

[ well hey, you guys, have a new face on the feed today. he's one of the new arrivals, trying to get used to this new space lifestyle!! which means friends are... probably a good thing. maybe. he's not sure yet, but he knows he needs to meet people. the ~general populace~, so to speak. ]

Space, huh?

[ wait no. he kind of frowns at that. worst opener. but then he considers all the posts that he's seen (memorized) since he's arrived and well, this ain't so bad. ]

I was... woooonnndering, uh. How many of you are from... New York City? Circa... 2011 or 2012. Ish.

[ man this is chalking up to be one of the most awkward experiences of his life. it's just-- this is like skype alright, except when you use skype you usually know who you're talking to-- here? way different. haha posting to a network, that's weird.

he is usually not this bad but you are also all strangers so. yeah. wait, here's a good idea. i mean, he has a lot of free time now so-- ]

Oh yeah and uh, does anyone know where I could get a camera? Thanks.

[ does he end the post now DOES HE END THE POST NOW he totally ends the post now! yes! good job, mike ross. you successfully completed the goal of posting a video post to the network. next time, maybe have an idea of what you want to talk about beforehand. ]

[He....makes a face.]

"Kiddo"?

Thought you might like that one.

It's terrible. And inaccurate. I'm an adult.

You are-- only six and half years younger than me, even.

Precisely. That's a very small difference. A surpassingly small difference.

Seems like it should be, huh?

...There's no should be. It is.

Age-wise, you're absolutely right.

So you're calling me immature.

...actually the opposite.

Er...Wait, what?

My frame of reference is sixteen and owns more hoodies than I could keep washed. The kiddo thing is more about me than you.

...Oh. [He furrows his brow slightly.] Your niece, you mean.

Nephew-- although god do you remind me of her sometimes, too.

Well. I...spoke to her only on occasion, but I did speak to her enough to know to be honored by that comparison.

Just my luck to end up surrounded by kids who are all smarter than me.

That's hardly true. I think you highly intelligent.

Oh, I'm okay. But I'm normal people smart, not some super genius.

You're just as intelligent as I am, if not more so. I cannot of course speak to your niece's intelligence, but that at least is something.

[ ...ffffffffffffffffff. giant anime heart eyes, edgeworth. ]

If not more so, huh?

[His nod is firm and earnest.]

Absolutely.

Okay, I'm going to take my win and go, then.

...you might want to try talking to him again-- and explaining why you pushed, so he knows you meant to help him.

I...suppose so.

[He clears his throat.]

In private.

Good plan-- some space first never hurts.

...Right. Er - and sorry.
