It seems this world is similar to my own.

I will take your questions, before one of you ends up causing an incident.

If you plan to actually attempt to blend in here... find me. You will need far more than just words to guide you.

[No offense, but she's seen how some of you act... and some of your dressing attempts.

Though her attempt at offering to help maybe isn't that much better.]

Wait — isn't that what the dossier's for?

[kisha]

That dossier tells much.

But I speak more of how people conduct themselves in daily life, not the political situation we are supposed to diffuse.

[ofobedience]

Well, where are you? I could use some assistance.

[kisha]

There is little reason to attract such attention in the city- you will find me on the outskirts of those Flower Lands.

Unless you need assistance dressing.

[in which case, she'll meet you in town.]

[notthatjason]

I was afraid of that...since we don't have much more than words to go on at this point.

I would like some advice if you're offering it. We're really out of my realm of familiarity here.

[kisha]

What is it you consider yourself familiar with?

[ The haughty tone of the post is ignored. She has dealt with worse. ]

I am a Negotiator, and a queen. We shall have little time to learn the ways of an entire land, but if you would lend me your counsel on the courtesies that would avail me here, I should be grateful.

[kisha]

Are there any among you Negotiators who hail from the land of the rising sun? Or even the setting sun?

I am willing to consult with you, either way... but I may not be able to accompany you should you manage to secure an audience with anyone of import in this place.

What's safe to eat?

[ oh are those not the kind of questions that hayame meant ... ]

[kisha]

[welp, she'll take... it...]

Anything the other humans are. Unless you mean to forage, in which case... not as much as you may think.

audio; un: alucard

[reposing]

I would welcome your teachings. Though I intend to research as much as I can, I would rather take the wisdom of someone who knows what to do.

[kisha]

Then you will have them.

[she thinks that's the gracious thing to say]

What is it you intend to do here?

voice; un: laphicet

[rhinostagros]

[ Hanabira reminds him of Rokurou and his clan, but it's really not enough information for him to go off on. ]

Well... most humans can't see me, but there have been exceptions. I'd better be safe than sorry. That said, I'd appreciate any advice that you have, ma'am.

[kisha]

What do you mean, they cannot see you?

voice; un: tama

[tormado]

It seems...kinda similar to my world, like. A couple hundred years ago.

And some things are very different.

...

So I guess it's not that similar.

Uh. What should I do if someone spots me and there's no women agents around or anything?

[kisha]

And where is it you hail from?

It seems best to avoid that happening in the first place- have you no woman to escort you?

[likemyfatherbeforeme]

I’d like to take you up on that offer if you’re serious about helping. [ This is Tatooine teenager speak for I’m really sort of crap at blending in almost anywhere. ]

Where can I find you?

[kisha]

I would not have made the offer without the intent to take responsibility for it.

[so!!]

If you need assistance dressing, in town. Otherwise, the flower lands.

[secondnature]

Want to pick up the archery lessons?

[Keith isn't going to try hard enough getting to know the natives to fit in. In his mind, that's enough.

Stubbornly so.]

[kisha]

[not a message she expected- but not unwelcome.]

Of course.

It will be easier to get a proper bow for you here.

voice / un: 2b

[undeserved]

I'd appreciate that.

[ 2B recognize the moose-woman's voice, even if she didn't get her name... and if Hayame recognizes hers, she might note she sounds slightly off. Strained or distracted or simply distant, in one way or another; this is a lot for her to get used to. ]

[kisha]

[She... thinks she recognizes that voice.]

What is it you have encountered trouble with?

voice | @bell

[dominance]

How similar?

[ rough, gruff, full of doubt. yep, that's bellamy blake. ]

[kisha]

In most everything but the fact that in this world, it seems women are the ones with the power. The clothing, the weaponry, the mannerisms... they are as I was educated.

[rough, gruff, and full of huff]

voice; @9S

[bestaround]

—It is? How much do you find familiar around here?

[kisha]

The food, the clothing, the weaponry, the surroundings... Most everything, with the exception of the fact that in my world it is the men who hold the power.

@kansas [ audio ]

[signifies]

Yeah, you're right.

[ He could blend in on Earth or on the Zymandis mothership. This. . . not so much. ]

Did you have any suggestions for clothes?

[kisha]

[Oh it's... she thinks she recognizes that voice.]

It depends heavily on what it is you wish to present as here. Where is it you are trying to go?

voice | un: urahara

[predomination]

It's so kind of you to offer your assistance, Hayame-san~

[kisha]

It is nothing like kindness.

Hathaway's failures are now my failures.

[... as opposed to ALASTAIR's.]

[unholey]

Is minimal eye contact a cultural practice, or have I just had shit luck when it comes to trying to barter with the locals?

[Everyone's collective Evasive Eyeball Maneuvers are driving him nuts. Please, merchants. He just wants to buy... some lunch. Don't make this weird.]

[kisha]

To avert one’s eyes shows deference. To a shopkeeper, the customer is worth such respect.

audio; un: aloy

[datapoint]

I'm not that concerned about seamlessly blending in here. [She's used to standing out because of her hair, but this... is kind of ridiculous. To the point where there's really not point in trying to hide it, in her opinion.]

What advice would you give an outlander? Just to avoid embarrassing myself.

[kisha]

They have not run from me me, yet, so.

[Because while Hayame has the skills and cultural knowledge to blend almost seamlessly... there's the little matter of that horse rear.]

Primarily, you would want to focus on shows of respect. The way to bow, to enter and exit, to accept food and services properly.

so this mandatory escort thing... how mandatory an escort thing is it, really...

[kisha]

Do you not know a woman?

["At all" sounds dramatic]
