First sight [text]
No sooner do I finish one interstellar voyage than I find myself the unwitting participant of a second one.
I hope, for all our sakes, that its ending is not quite as explosive as my first.
I have my misgivings about this ship, but sudden and catastrophic destruction is not one of them.
That would be too easy.
To the part-time residents of the two universes I've intimately familiarized myself with, hello again.
To everyone else, greetings. My name is Rose Lalonde.
I look forward to the new acquaintanceships, brotherhoods, and nemeses of the coming days here. I get the feeling that we're going to need them.
I have no intention of blindly submitting to the whims of whomever is in charge here. I shall proudly wear citrus as my hue of choice when it suits me. Noir doesn't feel especially appropriate given recent events.

Oh, another one of you. Did your Earth have a mass country exodus? You're going to leave a lot of empty ocean space where there once used to be landmass.
My surname does not reflect my immediate heritage; I expect it's an old name in my family, though I'm no expert in the field of personal genealogy.
For the record, I'm all for anti-establishment. I'd be wearing this right now [ she indicates the hoodie ] if it didn't smell like I was a peasant rolling in mud all day. But if you and the other countries start waging international war through conquerings and counter-revolutions, I'll have to keep an ironic distance.

Oh. You are American. [ His tone has lost its bounce and is far more flat than it was before. ] I could not tell you, as I do not know. You know, we are the representations of the country, that does not mean we are the landmass themselves, my dear.
Well then, perhaps there is French somewhere in your blood! [ A LITTLE MORE CHEERFUL NOW... ] I am sure this is true, as I am sure you will one day grow into a beautiful woman! It will be the French in you that will cause you to do so, I am sure.
[ A tilt of the head. ] Do you need it to be cleaned? That is an easy task. [ He blinks. Then laughs. ] Please, my dear, I am a peaceful nation. It has been a long time since I wished to participate in war or conquest.

I doubt I have French blood, though. I'm little more than a clone of myself, you see. No significant genetic heritage of my own.
[ She seems doubtful at his last statement. ] There's enough of you here that I won't be surprised if you roleplay World War Three at some point, but if you say so.
