001; the most optimistic newb you will ever meet. (video; open)
[ There's a boy on your video feed. Or more accurately: an intense close-up of his face, like he's inspecting it without realising it's turned on. But then before you know it, he leans back with an excited victory whoop. ]
Whoa! I got it working!
[ Now you can see more of him: he doesn't look to be any older than sixteen, but he's dressed in what are unmistakably fine clothes-- a collared shirt, a cravat, a jacket, etc. Even the patterned material is obviously opulent. ]
Man, these things are really ancient... --oh. Sorry. Talking to myself. Where are my manners? I'm Albert...
[ He trails off quite suddenly, as if he were about to say something else after his first name, but then thought the better of it. It's also noticeable that he pronounces it in the French way, "Al-bear", without the t. ]
Anyway! I'm making this video because I was hoping one of the kind citizens of this place could direct me in the way of food! French cuisine is preferred, but I'm not particularly picky. Hunger is the greatest sauce, or something like that.
Although-- now that I think about it, I don't... actually have any money? Oh, goodness. That was silly of me. I'm sorry, maybe just forget the whole thing.
[ He has the decency to look slightly sheepish. ]
In any case, since I'm under the impression that we're all sort of in this place together until we can manufacture an escape plan, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to meet everyone soon. I hope we'll be good friends!

[ He looks kind of awkward about that, all of a sudden. ]

Isn't that why we have diplomats and diplomacy in the first place?

If you're in a place with a real government that establishes that sorta thing, then maybe. I guess sometimes that breaks down too, though. I dunno, never cared much for politics.
