[There's a bit of adjusting at first; a very close look of a young, blond man's face, then his palm covering the lens before he finally sits back, happy with himself.

He waves, beaming brightly and clearly very excited to be recording this.]


Hello everyone! My name is Jean Prouvaire. I recently arrived here, and I wanted to introduce myself. I heard this is the best way to talk to the most people, so I thought I'd try it!

Let's see, I'm from Earth. From France, specifically. It's quite different here, but I think it's lovely! I have friends here, and I hope to meet some new people as well.

What else? I'm a poet! Not professionally, I was in school for languages and linguistics, but I love to write! Oh, I also very much enjoy horticulture and botany! The plants here are so interesting and I know I ought to be careful with most of them, but some are too lovely to resist.

I think that's about all for now! I look forward to speaking with you all!

[That is aN OBVIOUS FALSEHOOD!!!!]

The Greeks had manners, and the Romans too. The date of your life has no bearing on your manners.

Unfortunately, the gig is up. Crowley can't pretend to be lacking any education so whatever!! ]


Okay well I'm Spanish.

I was just asking the guy to show off his skills~ What are you, his lover?

I am more than that. I am his friend.

[He's... being 100% serious I'm so sorry]

So like... friends with benefits?

[ i'm so sorry ]

Don't announce that in a public place you weirdo.

[luckily he has no idea what that means]

I benefit from his knowledge and his passion for the cause.

That's...

fantastic.

I am so happy for you both.
Just let me know when's the wedding so I can send my blessings.

You have misunderstood.

There is not to be a wedding. Jehan Prouvaire and I are not amorously connected.

But the joke is that you are.

It’s okay, if my friend had lived another year I probably would have married him too.

He is as close to me as any of my friends. I have no desire to wed any of them.

Do you get this defensive with all your friends?

That's so tiring.

[personal profile] idealisme 2018-04-29 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[The answer to that is no.]

Tiring? There is no fatigue in ensuring one's friends are treated with respect, even equanimity.

Maybe I'm just getting old.

Because all this defense is making me feeling so tired... like I just ran a lap.
