Video | June 12th

[extalon]

[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.

Hm... I reckon a 7. 'Bout between "passable" and "great."

But I work near there, so it's got a spot in my heart now.

[extalon]

You weren't kidding when you said decent. [ A 7 is about the score he'd give a place that he considered decent. Though it's more so a 'High Decent' with a 'Low Decent' being a 6.]

Since you mentioned the Academy, I take it you work there?

[spah]

I don't take scales of one-to-ten lightly.

[He's kidding.]

For Lunatia Scientia, yeah. Almost since me and the first batch of people have been here. Don't know if I'll be with them much longer, though. I kinda miss having my own workshop space.

[extalon]

[Baptiste gives a grin.]

You really shouldn't. At least when food is concerned. A day can be made or broken by a good meal.

[He's only partly serious about that.]

[spah]

You ain't lying. Normally, I'm a home-cookin' kinda man, especially when it comes to barbecue... but you can't beat a good diner with a cook that knows what they're doin'.

I'm from Texas, and there's a little spot on the edge of Bee Cave, just before the road out to Austin, with the best damn steak in the U.S. I'd put that to a bet.

[extalon]

I'm from Haiti myself. I've never had the chance to taste any American styled steak or barbecue. But those that I know that have tried it seem to swear by it.

[Those people are American for the most part, but he's met people from other countries that have sampled it too.]

From how you talk about it, it's not just a meal, it's an experience.

[spah]

You're damn right it's an experience. I know this is about... what, our second conversation? But if it ain't too forward, I oughta treat you to some real American steak sometime.

About as American as steak from another planet's gonna get, anyhow.

[extalon]

I'm not the type of man to turn down a meal. Especially a free one. [And what better way to become better acquainted with people?] You just name the time and place and I'll be sure to bring the drinks.

[spah]

Lemme work some things out, and we definitely oughta.
