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. ]

I'm afraid I've only seen cameras here. Though from what I do know, things from home have been made to be brought here, mainly through our lockers.

Are cameras common, where you're from?

They're a... thing, I guess? People use them, pretty commonplace. What you're using now is a camera, for one.

[ frodo looks kind of excited about that. ]
Can I take the same pictures that a friend of mine can?

[fraud]

Probably, yeah. I mean... it's not really that complicated.

Perhaps where you come from, but we'd call this 'magic' where I'm from. There are all sorts of people on this ship, as I imagine you're finding out from this alone.

[ you know mike ross, you very well could. ]

I come from Middle-earth, if you'd care to know. We aren't used to all these strange things.

[ wow was he just awkward at frodo baggins? on one hand, no why, on the other, frodo baggins though ]

Something stupid. Ignore me. -- What's it like at home for you? That's what I meant.

[ you sure were bro. he's pretty unsure tbqh. that question tho.

frodo's face falls a little. ]

..Hardly peaceful, as it is now--I don't know. I haven't been home in quite some time.

Oh.

[ wow geez that is depressing. seeing it up close it different from reading it in a book. ]

Uhm. I hope it gets better then?

[ actually damn what is really supposed to say to that ]

[ he lowers his eyes ]
They have placed their hopes on a person who feels the same.

[fraud]

Well then! That should really be helpful. I mean, if this person wants the same thing as them, it might be great.

[ HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE IS DOOOOOING ]

[ringbearer]

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HERE. ]

I hope so. The person who offered is hardly so grand as the people who appointed the idea.
