[ The video starts with Zevran tapping on the camera with a fingertip, as though uncertain it's really doing what it's supposed to be doing. Or perhaps there's a pattern there with some hidden meaning, who can say?

And then there's his face in focus, complete with tattoo down one side and those signature pointy ears of his. His accent is thick and warm. ]

What a marvelous device this is; I can only imagine what sort of naughty things you all must get up to with it, behind closed doors.

[ Leave it to Zevran to encounter smartphone technology and immediately and independently think of dick pics. Or worse. Considering the video function. ]

My name is Zevran Arainai. I am pleased to make all of your acquaintances, one way... or another.

[ Complete with a suggestive waggling of the eyebrows, that last bit. ]

Perhaps I did... the things on the roads here are much faster than horses.

[ Which is alarming, but not for the obvious reasons.

...He's going to have to get extra creative to pull off any in-carriage assassinations here. ]

[deadlybang]

[She couldn't contain that giggle, sorry!]

The bad news are that like they can go even faster. But like there are actual speed limits inside the cities so they like restrain themselves. No one wants to like get a ticket for ignoring a traffic light either.

Ah, traffic lights are like lights used to indicate those "things" when to move and when to stop, like, red means they have to stop and wait and green means they can like go on, and like yellow is that they have to like decrease speed!

[See, Zevran, there are still chances for an in-carriage assassination. Not that Angelique knows that he's interested in that, if she knew maybe she wouldn't have said a word about all this.]

[zevranarainai]

Hmm... I see, I see.

[ It's not as awesome as riding up alongside a carriage and then jumping onto it from horseback, but it's something. ]

Well, at least I was not hit. That would make for an inauspicious beginning.

[deadlybang]

It wouldn't have been that bad. If you had like survived, it you wouldn't have had to worry about like housing since you would have been like stuck in the hospital.

[And it would be even worse if he died, though it would have been a quick way to learn the basics of the place.]

But, of course, like who wants to be stuck in a hospital upon arriving to a new place? That would be like super extra boring when you could instead like go exploring.

[zevranarainai]

How fortunate for me, then. And everyone else at this hospital of yours.

[ A bored Zevran will create his own entertainment, as the entire network is liable to discover at some point. ]

[deadlybang]

Don't hospitals admit injured people for several days at your world? Or do hospitals not exist?

[zevranarainai]

We have things of a similar concept, from what I am gleaning from the context.

[ Some places. For some people. ]

[deadlybang]

So like healing houses or something like that. I see!

Oh, right, did you like see the hologram? Ehm, like the welcome message at the bay? It would have like looked like a vision of a girl, with like lights coming from an artifact.

[How to explain what a hologram is to someone who didn't even know what was a phone?]
