Action: the Tourist
When: now!

[ last time he posted anything, he was a nervous wreck and kind of nauseous. the changes the past two months have left in him are impossible to miss; winn is smiling, upbeat, and almost comfortable. the nervous energy that is there has more to do with his addressing a bunch of strangers than the constant fear of death by space-stuff that overshadowed his first feed. ]

Hi, if we don't know each other - I'm Winn Schott. If we do know each other...I'm still Winn Schott - [ shaking his head, why hasn't he learned from the last time? prepare a script! ]

Anyway! I've been here for a couple months now, and it's been interesting - and I mean that in the original sense of the word. Think about it - not only are we in outer space [ there's only a slight wince at that, and even a lot of excitement. space is terrifying - but it's also really cool ] - but we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to reach across the multiverse and learn things that haven't even been dreamed up in our worlds yet. I've been learning - a ton from just casually talking to people, but there is a much better way to do this if we all cooperate, [ open source. it's the way of the future! ] and I know I'm not the only one out there who's interested!

So, I've got a suggestion for anyone who thinks that's really cool - and - pity for anyone who doesn't [ and by pity, he means judgment. he gestures excitedly with his hands as he introduces his brilliant concept ] - 2016: A Space-Time Odyssey - a series of free weekly lectures about anything and everything we've got here. Talks about different worlds, science, history, art lessons, concerts - I know we've got some musicians here - basically anything anyone signs up to talk about, teach, perform, or however you communicate things where you're from. Since we don't have a lecture hall we can broadcast the talks - give ourselves a fun routine....and if that doesn't work for someone, I can post the notes I'm so gonna take of all of these. Who's in? Who wants to go first?

[ France is tits.

Like, literally he has never seen women with so little clothing Winn. Scandalous. Almost as much as your gf in the oversized nightshirt. ]

...It smells like lots of baking and fish! [ And he can eat fish, so that's....something. ] The people are really fun to watch.

[ it's not scandalous when it's in her bedroom, sascha. ]

What'd you do there?

[ That is the sacred place okay it is even more scandalous there. ]

Mostly walked around and watched people, I guess...

[ he will not be having this conversation with you ever, omg. ]

Were you there long?

[ But why can't we talk about her perfect thighs??? ]

Not really... Just a few years. [ He's been doing the living thing for over a hundred 6u9 ]

[ because that will be creepy and he doesn't want anyone else talking about her perfect thighs!

a few years of people watching? no friends, no job? he's missing something here, isn't he. ]

Sorry I'm -- interrogating you, I'm just really interested in the different verses, feel free to ask me stuff too if there's something you wanna know.

Aww, it's okay! Usually people don't ask this kinda stuff, it's fun♥ [ translation: people don't usually have any interest in him/care/want to talk to him, and Winn doing that makes this fun. ]

What's your Earth like~?

In that case -- I can keep going forever. [ if only he were exaggerating. ]

Is there anyone else from your world here?

[ his earth. he's had this talk so many times and he still doesn't know where to even begin. ]

Well, there's a lot of tech - people talk on a network like this one only a hell of a lot more sophisticated all the time. I'm from the US -- I donno if it exists in your world? [ would he know? he doesn't seem to know a whole lot about the world around him... ]

I don't...thiiink so? But I wouldn't really know. [ Because vampires aren't really Out as much, and tend to keep to themselves when they aren't eating. Most humans know of them, but have never met one. ]

I've never heard of a US though. Where's that?

[ not a lot of friends back home? he can relate. ]

It stands for 'United States' of America. It's in north-America.

[ It's an unfortunate side-effect of being a vampire, alas. ]

Ohhh! The new world!

[ ok, leaning heavily towards dude's from the past, now! ]

Yeah! Yeah, it's been called that - not so new anymore, for me at least. I'm from 2016.

[ You aaaare correct sir! Even if time is a bit weird and out of order in his world. ]

...That's a really big number! Are you a time-traveller?

In a way -- yeah, I guess all of us are. We're inter-dimensional time travelers.

[ it's pretty cool when you look at it like that! ]

[ heck yeah it is. +5 for the Winn

see what i did there ]

Oh--that's cool!

[ nice schott! ]

It's pretty freaking cool - yeah - we're inter-dimensional time-travelling space explorers.

[ marry me tbh ]

And we go on planet adventures--! [ except this planet...moon...thing, kinda sucks. ]

[ ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ]

Yeah! Have you been on other planets yet, or just this moon?

Just the moon...before this it was a space station! It was huge and there were aliens everywhere.

Well I mean, there are aliens everywhere here too - anyone who wasn't born on earth is an alien to us, and we're aliens to them -

[ it's kind of really cool for him to be an alien. don't ask him why. ]

But I take it you mean more obvious looking aliens?

Extra arms and weird faces, yup. They didn't like me much. [ Probably because he was eating raw meat in public but there you go. ]

Did you stare?

......Yes.

[ That too. ]

That'd do it -

[ he nods. not that he can really judge - he would have stared too. and maybe tried to touch. ]

I couldn't help iiiiit, they looked so neat~! [ Can they make an alien fanclub, please ]
