001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

[It takes Aleifr a day or two to figure out the workings of the comm well enough to add a post of his own to the flood of text, but eventually:]

My name is Aleifr, son of Bjorn. I am a hersir of the Ascommani, from a place called Fenris, if that means anything to any of you. I can hunt, I can fight, and I can sail.

If you have questions, ask them.

[Whatever else he should say ... he isn't sure. He's never done this before.]

hi aleifr! i'm kevin. i am not sure what a lot of that means but it sounds pretty dope.

[ Friendliness prevails where any understanding of culture doesn't, at least. ]

i bet you not a lot of people know how to sail that sounds kind of neesh.

[ Spelling is not one of Kevin's talents. ]

[aleifr]

"dope?"

[Kevin's tone seems friendly so he's going to assume the man isn't insulting him ... but to a man with zero context for modern slang, it sounds like he's being called an idiot.]

[likeits1999]

yeah bro, sounds rad.

[ Because clearly, this will help. ]

[aleifr]

That hasn't cleared up anything.

[likeits1999]

um. it's cool?

[ Wait, shit, maybe he's old timey or something. Kevin tries to think of older words. ]

it's groovy? it's copacetic?

[aleifr]

[Aleifr is beginning to grow annoyed.]

Speak. Plainly. Good or bad.

[likeits1999]

it's good dude!

sorry bro it's just kind of like. i don't know i guess it's been a long time since i just said something was good.

[aleifr]

Understand that people where I come from don't speak the way that you do.

Thank you for the compliment.
