Who: Finrod & you
Broadcast: Video, fleetwide
Action: On the Bishop, if you wish
When: This morning

[Finrod has taken a little time to make himself presentable before turning on the communicator, though he still looks a little disoriented. That's probably inevitable after being asleep for nearly a month.

He gives a smile and a little nod of greeting, as is his usual opening.]

Good morning. [There's a hint of amusement in his voice there.] I know that there have been new arrivals while I have been... indisposed and I would offer you welcome. I am Finrod Felagund, captain of Bishop, and if there is aught I might do to ease the discomfort of your arrival, you need but ask. Members of my crew, in particular, should not hesitate to approach me, even if only to talk.

For those of you who know me already- I believe we have much to catch up on! I look forward to speaking with you. [Which is his way of saying 'please let me know that you're alright and still around.']

I aim to be; none of us wish to be here, but there is no reason we cannot lighten one another's burdens while we are.

[A nod.] If this Kate of yours slept for nigh a month, then yes. I am afraid the name is not familiar to me.

[Yes, still very welcoming.] Over a week which is still not normal. At least I don't think it's normal for humans.

I'm Mon-El. I got here in what I'm told is December.

[He can't help but grin at that.] No, it decidedly is not.

A pleasure, Mon-El. I gather, then, that you have not yet spent a great deal of time around humans?

I'm only a few months into that. It seems like there's still a lot to learn. And even more that I'm here. [Different times and different cultures.]

I have found that even a few centuries is not sufficient to learn all; they will continue to surprise you for some time, I am sure.

Centuries? I don't think I'll have that long. How old are you?

It is difficult to say precisely- my people use a different calendar than most here. [And then there were the years before the sun...] I have seen fifteen hundred years or so, more or less.

That, um, that's older, yeah. What planet are you from?

It is called 'Arda' among the Eldar. No doubt the other races have terms for the land in their own tongues, but I do not know them.

I haven't heard of it, but that happens a lot here. [At least it does when someone isn't from some version of Earth.] I'm from Daxam.
