Greetings. I hope this finds you all well.

My name is Nicholas. I am from Italy, on Earth.

I arrived here recently and I think so did many others. It seems we are all from different places. I admit to being curious and would be glad to hear more about all of you.

We may speak in person or over these devices.

If you prefer in person, I will be making rosemary focaccia and aubergine parmigiana for dinner this evening. There will also be amaretti and coffee, if you prefer to come only for a short time.

All are welcome. You need not bring gifts.

Thank you.

[broadswords]

By "vegetarian", do you include dairy and eggs?

[captainplanet]

[broadswords]

Yes, the whole menu today is vegetarian.

You do not have any food allergies?

you're just inviting a bunch of random people you've never met into your home? where you sleep?

[broadswords]

Who said I sleep?

;)

[killer]

i can't tell if you mean that as a joke or not because nothing is impossible anymore. winky face has me leaning joke.

[broadswords]

Yes! A very helpful little picture. I am not yet used to all of them.

[killer]

[plangona]

really? you're just inviting everyone over just like that? [ there is tentative interest but also it's just weird he's offering without expecting something in return outside of conversation ]

[broadswords]

Yes, I am indeed.

You may bring a gift if you desire but I will not insist.

[plangona]

it's not that, it was just surprising to see the offer.

aren't you worried about running out of food? [ ironically despite how this place is fully stocked with food and other supplies, that was always an underlying concern given the conditions they had survive through back home ]

[broadswords]

It is possible, but in that case, I am happy to make more.

Hi Nicholas, I'm Vash!

I think us all meeting up is a great idea. Are you sure you don't want us to bring anything?

[broadswords]

Pleased to meet you, Vash.

You may bring something if you like. I will not say no.

[rootlessly]

i will then :)

what kind of things do you like? aside from

[hm]

rosemary focacia and aubergine parmigiana haha

[he has no idea what either of those things are]

[broadswords]

I enjoy reading. I am sure there will be a bookstore somewhere around.

you sure you'll have enough food with an open invitation like that?
cause I'm pretty sure most of the kids around here aren't exactly great at cooking and would probably love a free home cooked meal

and with that being the case, feels a little weird not bringing food
or like wine or something

[broadswords]

If there is not enough, I am more than prepared to make more.

You are most welcome to bring wine. Or anything else that you may wish to.

[counterstep]

I mean

you're like
properly Italian so I don't wanna show my dumb uncultured ass off by picking something awful

American for the record
so like half of the food I thought I could maybe make and bring will probably just piss you off too ha

( spaghetti being broken in half sounds in the distance. )

[broadswords]

[ perhaps the first time anyone has called him “properly Italian”. Nicky allows himself a moment of private amusement. He is very conveniently Italian, yes. For certain things, useful. ]

And what about the other half?

[ whoa. ] Hey Nicholas, I'm Dinah. From California, USA, also Earth. That all sounds absolutely to die for delicious, so please please count me in for all of the above.

You cook on the regular??

[broadswords]

A pleasure to meet you, Dinah of California.

Yes, I do cook regularly.

[skrees]

Very good to know and keep well in mind.
I'll look forward to meeting you in person soon.
