Video; Important questions okay
[While most everyone seems to be suffering from the heatwave, Dorian seems less than annoyed by it all when the feed initializes. Now, he's not wearing his robes, and his dark shoulders prove he's wearing an outfit without sleeves, but he seems perfectly comfortable, more so than usual, one could say.
He looks rather pleased with himself, also, and while most of his surroundings aren't in view, it's plain the device is nestled on a desk surrounded by very untidy notes in a flowing hand and that said desk is surrounded by bookshelves that are equally in a state of disarray. No one every accused Dorian of being an orderly worker.]
Hello, Genessia! You know, all this talk of a heatwave, and all the lamentation thereof, have gotten me thinking about weather. I know, I know. It's the topic of bores and the unenlightened, something to fill the void at an awkward social gathering, what have you. But, the reason I bring it up is simple: this weather is much more similar to my homeland, which, coincidentally, is in the north of the land from which I hail.
[He folds his hands in front of him on the desk, leaning forward slightly in interest.]
What I would like to know is this: is warmer weather where you come from associated with the north...or the south? Call it a research project.

[And this is what he's working on, okay. How many people are from the north rather than the south of the center of their planets.]
Were you from the southern hemisphere, you would have said north. True enough, go far enough south and south is north again, but even the word "north" means cold to you, as you've used it to describe the south as well.
Re: video
Oh wow, s'gotta be like two hunnered years 'r so now.
I go down south fer the winter like all them birds do, ain't no fun bein' all northy in winter, water's too cold.
So you're all southy?

[He chuckles.]
I'm..."northy" actually, of a..."southy" continent.
[A pause.]
I'm sorry, did you say you've been hanging about this "New York" for two hundred years?
Re: video
So it's like North America. Got a north an' south an' the weather's all over the place. Cool!
Sure sure! I mean I ain't been there as long as the Brownies in Queens but those lil fucks came over on the Mayflower. I was still in Greece.

That's all very well, but I'll need you to assume for a moment I know nothing of the Earth. Could you explain a bit about New York, New Amsterdam, the Dutch, the Americas as I've found them to be called, Brownies, Queens, the Mayflower, and Greece?
Not all at once, mind you, and being pointed toward appropriate literature would suffice.
Re: video
None?
[KANI NOT EVERYONE HERE IS FROM YOUR EARTH]
Where are ya, I ain't showin' no books yet, best lessons are talkin' ones!

[Srsly, man.]
...I beg to differ, and I'm in my own study, private study, mind you.
