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.

[ hmmmMMM. those sure are words. ]

Is it vegetarian??

[broadswords]

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

[captainplanet]

those are okay.

so. are they?

[broadswords]

Yes, the whole menu today is vegetarian.

You do not have any food allergies?

[captainplanet]

nothing like that, i just don't eat meat.

[broadswords]

I see!

Well, you need not worry for today.

Do you drink coffee?

[captainplanet]

iiiiii don't know what that is!

[broadswords]

It is a type of drink.

You can make it with a machine, but I prefer to do so by hand.

[captainplanet]

i don't know any machines that make drinks.

except the ones here.

what makes it special?

[broadswords]

It is more the company that makes it special, not the drink itself.

It keeps you awake, so that you may have a lengthy conversation. If that is what you seek.

[captainplanet]

we usually do that over tea.

so i guess it's just a different drink in some places for the same reasons.

[broadswords]

Indeed it may be.

What kinds of tea do you like?

[captainplanet]

uh

tea tea? just with loose leaf.

how many kinds are there?

[broadswords]

There are six different categories.

If we were to list all under them, I am sure the number would reach the thousands.

Perhaps it would be quicker for us to go to the supermarket, and find what you are familiar with.

[captainplanet]

that's a lot of effort.

are you sure?

[broadswords]

If you don't mind, I would be happy to accompany you.

Who is to say we may not need tea one day for our own long conversation?

[captainplanet]

i guess it's cool.

it could be an adventure. i'm still figuring out all the new stuff.

[broadswords]

As am I.

Whom do I have the pleasure of speaking to?

[captainplanet]

oh i'm aang.

[broadswords]

[ It's rare that Nicky hears a name he can't place to some country or another. But no matter. Perhaps that's the new normal around here. ]

A pleasure. I am Nicholas.

[captainplanet]

nice to meet you!

er sort of.

i'll say it proper when we do meet.
