Video - Open

[Video opens to a dark screen as Kramm's face is right up in it as he tries to secure the device. After a moment he backs up enough for the screen to focus on his scaly face, a little touch of red as his forked tongue sticks out in concentration, his blue eyes screwed up as well. Once he seems happy enough with the arrangement, however, he beams with excitement and settles back to smile and wave congenially at the camera.]

Uh, hi! Hello! Kramm here, I'm new. Not, uh, used to this sort of ... thing. I think I'm reaching everyone but let's be honest, I have no idea. [He shrugs his broad shoulders. He's dressed in simple leathers, his green scalemail armor draped over the chair behind him.]

Anyway, just thought I'd give a little formal greeting. Who's been down to the planet yet? What's your favorite place? I really liked the rides until I got stuck on one for a few hours, but ... I'll probably go back tomorrow.

[There's a long awkward pause as he waits for responses, wondering if it's even gone out to anyone. He hums a little tune and taps his clawed fingers on his knees for the moment.]

[His face brightens, because being shipmates means she's basically a party member, far as he's concerned.]

Oh no, you haven't missed much. I've only been here, uh ... I haven't been here long and, admittedly, I have spent a lot of time on the planet. It's just so amazing to me; you just hop into one of these little steel birds and down you go to an entire world. I'm used to walking for days to get to the next village. Gunna get fat and lazy in now time.

So. You've got my name, might I have yours?

Romanoff. Natasha Romanoff. [Not exactly the expression she expected. On the other hand, she's not sure what expression she would expect. Still at this point she's not going to be put off too much by it.] Nice to meet you.

Enjoy the planet while you can. As long as nothing's trying to blow it up, might as well get what you can out of it. You'll miss it when we're drifting again.

[He had a few questions, and a pleasant greeting, but they all die in the swatch of confusion that follows as he listens to her.]

... blow up a planet. Blow up a -- [He motions behind him, maybe not in the true direction of but indicating in movement rather than voice the planet they are currently in orbit around.] -- but it's huge!

[outstandingbalance]

You're right. It is. [Natasha hadn't quite expected to be the first person to bring this up.] And saying blow it up might be somewhat hyperbolic. But a fair number of the worlds we've stopped on have ended up in some kind of existential crisis.

[He blinks for a moment as it sinks in. He's just had to get used to the idea of planets, lots of them, all over the place, and now he's trying to wrap his head around the idea of something with enough juice to smash such a big thing in.]

... so you've seen it happen?
