Have you ever given yourself a new name?
Or maybe a nickname?
How did you choose it?
Does it have any meaning for you?

[Oh no he sounds like a sweet summer child. Fish will have to dial back on the innuendo from now on. Better keep all that tucked away for someone else keen to know about those kinds of adventures.]

Actually, they were the first pair of tiefling brothers I've ever met. The one from the settlement close to my home was a bit of an outcast, but kind of made a name for himself. I never got to know anything about his family. If three is a lot, then it is.

I'm twenty-one. We're a bit close in age, then.

[ He's... very much a sweet summer child. Hopefully he'll get to autumn eventually - but for now he can probably do without the saucy things unless you want his face to explode, Fish.

Connie is vibrating with interest to know more about the tieflings Fish knew, but he's not about to dig too much in people's pasts. Instead he focuses on the world they're in, now. ]

It's pretty close! Have you been here long? Did you figure out how to use these things quickly?

[freshtilapia]

[Well, Fish does have a history of making people's faces explode too. Oops. Unfortunately, if Connie asked for more about the tieflings Fish knew, Fish only had intimate information to share, not a lot about how they lived and how society treated them, and so on. But that's what Fish's specialty is as a skank.]

I've just been here for about a month, I think. I figured out how to use these things pretty quickly. But I had some help, too! I found someone who's very good with all this and he taught me a lot.

[Fish does have to admit that their skankiness did get them places.]

[wildsorcery]

Hey now, that's valid too! Just... maybe not the information he needs at the moment. (Maybe later.)

That's what Mollymauk said as well. So you're also one of the first people that arrived.

[ If it gets you what you need, not even Captain Virgin over here is gonna judge how Fish gets their technology degree. ]

Do you think they would mind helping me too? Or maybe you can, if it's not too much trouble?

[freshtilapia]

Oh! So you've met Mollymauk already, have you? You're very lucky. He's very lovely, isn't he?
I haven't heard from Matt in a while, but the next time I get a hold of him, maybe I'll send him in your direction. But I wouldn't mind helping you out, too. Fair warning that I might not be the best teacher, though.

html why

[wildsorcery]

I did! He's very colorful, and kind.

[ He might have been a little blinded by it, honestly. Still, it was amazing to meet another tiefling, and extra so for it to be one with an 'unusual' color. ]

It's okay, I think I mostly need to figure out how to make a picture. Take a picture? I have the typing down pretty well.

[ One day he's gonna accidentally magic surge this poor network technology thing off the planet, I swear. ]

[freshtilapia]

[Fish feels a smile creep on to their lips as they think of Mollymauk, but of course, but Connie doesn't see this.]

That will be easy! Do you see a symbol that's like a box with a circle in the middle? Try touching it.

[wildsorcery]

Okay, give me a moment

[ He fiddles a little bit with it. ]

Oh! I can see myself! It's like a mirror!

[freshtilapia]

That's right! Now touch the big circle on one end of the screen. It should take your picture of you do.

[wildsorcery]

I think I did it! Now how do I send it?

[freshtilapia]

You can touch the strange square icon that kind of looks like a picture.

[wildsorcery]

Okay, let's see

< image.png >

[ It's a very blurry picture of his hair and half an ear. He tried! ]

[freshtilapia]

You did it! It isn't the best picture, but it's a start, darling!

[wildsorcery]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

[freshtilapia]

No problem, sweetheart. I hope to see you in person soon. ;)

[wildsorcery]

That would be very nice, Fish. Thank you.
