Who: Sandalio
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Yes for anyone aboard the Blameless when he suddenly arrives
When: February 15th and 17th

[Sandalio has always been a clever one so it really hasn't taken him long to get a feel for this augment of his. Particularly since it really is helping with the one thing he happens to believe he excels at. Talking to other people. So Sandalio has set about to reach out to whoever might be listening. To help distract him from being away from his pack and Lyall. To stop the loneliness. To help ignore the confusion of not knowing where night begins and day ends...

Yes. Talking with people. That's what he'll do.]

Good evening. At least I suppose it is that. It's actually remarkably difficult to tell honestly. Usually I'd be able to but... No matter.

[He continues onward.]

I am the Lord Falmouth, Sandalio de Rabiffano. Presently I have an inquiry of sorts given the state of matters as they are. Where might one procure a decent cup of tea? While we are on the topic, if you will forgive me, is there a way to have meat?

You have my gratitude whatever your answers might be.

[He's a proper Victorian gentleman, alright. He can't help but to be polite even with the circumstances he's in. Even if he's stuck on this welcome ship. And that is why this proper British gentleman is tipping his hat politely as well before ending the transmission.]

Well, as prepared as we can be. I have to admit, Atroma is certainly coming at us from angels even I can't predict.

Oh? Are you usually able to predict these angles?

At times, you can kind of see it coming. But more often than not it feels like it all comes out of left field.

I was actually referring to in general. For example, where you come from.

Oh. Well, it depends on what we're up against. Studied phenomenon are of course easier to predict when you come upon one, and races we have extended interaction and knowledge of. The unexplored though? The new? That's when all the curve balls come.

Completely understandable of course. One might find this in even the most basic of social interactions as well.

_{[ He chuckled. ]}

I haven't been throwing you curve balls, have I?

I am afraid that I don't really understand the phrase you're using.

It's a term from baseball. Has baseball been invented yet?

I honestly have no idea what that even is.

[He frowns some, trying to place the term but nope.]

_{[ He laughs gently. ]}

I’m going to take that as a no then. Its a sport, but I suppose it doesn’t get invented until later, or it hasn’t made it over from America yet.

Oh. It's American?

[A brow lift. Somehow this explains everything. And it makes him not that interested in the sport either if he's to be perfectly honest.]

Not very fond of Americans I take it?

They are considered to be rather...uncivilized in. In my time at least.

That opinion doesn't really change all that much.

_{[ Even though he thought most of Europe at the time thought anyone not
European was uncivilized in Biffy's era anyways. ]}

Really? That is rather unfortunate. I would have hoped that would have changed over time.

Eh, well, hard to shake stereotypes, but not all Americans are alike. Or do you think me uncivilized too?

[He notes how the man is talking to him shirtless, is encouraging him to drop formalities, and is American. And now he wants to know if he's uncivilized.

Well then.]

I would certainly say you are not the formal sort.

[Which is him politely saying...yes.]

_{[ He laughed at that, giving a shrug as in 'what can you do'? ]}

You can't very well argue with the truth, I suppose.

At least you admit it.

[And he looks amused.]

If I am perfectly honest, it is not the worst thing I have been called and-or accused of in my lifetime, nor will it ever be.

_{[ He laughed again - he seemed to do that a lot, didn't he? But it
sounded genuine, cheeks red from all his smiling. ]}

It is certainly one of the nicer ways I have been called uncivilized.

I endeavor only to be polite.

Makes me curious what would finally make you be less than polite.

Nonsense! I would never let any circumstance allow for such a thing.

[He steadfastly refuses!]

Hah, I am going to remember those words, Sandalio.
