[Baptiste has spent a bit getting to know this place, but has yet to make any sort of video posting. He starts the feed up to do just that. He doesn’t feel entirely comfortable here yet, but he feels more so than is first day here.]

I arrived with the newest group of people last month and I have yet to introduce myself on this. This thing is somewhat like a social media site or app isn’t it?

[He’s never been one for such thing. Even more so nowadays.]

My name is Jean-Baptiste Augustin, but I just go by Baptiste. On my world I was..a medic. I was never short of people to treat either, but that is to be expected in such a line of work.

I wanted to introduce myself here as well as ask for any information on this place. As I said, I am still new and I believe I have a grasp on the basics. But if there is anything in particular that you think I should know that I might not already know, please feel free to tell me.

[He’s about to end the feed, but he pauses and inquiries about one last thing.]

I would also like to ask if anyone could point me in the direction of a good candy shop or bakery.

I thought that might be the case, but its always nice to have confirmation of my assumption. Do you have first hand experience or have you seen someone go through it?

[He's not going to ask for details, but its always nice to know how someone knows.]

Scouting out the best location to satisfy a sugar craving is a must.

I've seen the effects and I've offered my services to help anyone suffering from those effects, it does bring about a kind of weakness and weariness, but the most visible consequence is that you will change physically, bits of you crystallizing. Seek help immediately in that case.

[He's good for giving the warning signs anyway, everyone should know those.]

I haven't had candied dates in a while, if you find anything decent I wouldn't mind having the details.

[He opens his mouth to say something, but he pauses.]

That is...while I was thinking it could be bad, I wouldn't have expected anything like that. [It sounds like a person can take on some type of monstrous appearance when they drop that low.]

Once a person is help, do they revert immediately?

[It will obviously be important to stay fully ahead of this.]

I will. If you have any specific thing that you like, I will hand deliver it to you as thanks for the information you have given me.

[liberaltus]

I did not think it would be quite so bad either, but as long as you're not shy when it comes to sharing affections, something as simple as handholding might go over very well. [Dorian's not interested in experiencing the full force of the consequences for himself so he doesn't know the extent of the damage.]

Yes, it's a slow process, but they start getting their strength back and the crystallization begins to recede. If you ever get that far gone, however, more drastic measures might be required.

[Sex. He means sex.]

Ah, well I do enjoy candied fruits, especially dates. I haven't come across anything like that, but I haven't been looking for it either. You would have my thanks.

[extalon]

Something as simple as handholding? I don't think I will have any issue with that. [If that sort of contact is all it really takes, then he can manage pretty easily.] I'm not sure how anyone manages to get within the "danger zone" as far as chroma levels are concerned if taking care of it is that easy.

[Maybe if the person is anti-social or hates physical contact.]

Can I ask your name so I know who to contact?

[liberaltus]

I suppose if you're a cagey sort of person who finds it difficult to connect with people around you it might not be quite as easy as that.

[Not that Dorian is one of those people.]

Certainly, my dear, Dorian Pavus. Call on me as you will!

[extalon]

That is true. But I would think survival instincts would persevere over any desire to keep to yourself. [He says with a small shake of his head. That's how it would be for him, at least.]

It's a pleasure to meet you Dorian Pavus. Have you been here long?

[liberaltus]

It's shocking how anyone can be so stubborn, that's certainly true. [And some people could be incredibly stubborn, but Dorian wasn't one to push an issue.]

Likewise. Ah, I'd say I've been here a few months, give or take, though I can't be certain if the flow of time is the same here as it is where I'm from.
