[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!

Well met, Mr. Prouvaire. I'm William Twining and it's a pleasure to speak with you after such a warmhearted introduction.

And horticulture and botany? Quite a worthy interest. Is there any plant in particular that has caught your interest?

I could have never hoped to have learned so much about you in the span of a single moment, Jehan.

[ I mean, he knew it all already, but he has to poke a little fun. ]

Hello! It is nice to meet you, Ser Prouvaire. [ A smile. ] My name is Sam Tarly and I come from a place called Westeros.

I also like to write, but not poetry. I mostly compose letters and take notes on research that I have come across from books. I'm studying to become a Maester, you see. [A pause.] You probably don't know what that is, sorry.

A Maester helps people with ailments and teaching mostly. There is a lot of learning involved in becoming one.

I love the plants and flowers here. It reminds me of my home, really, though Highgarden didn't have any flowers that could hurt you so much. We were known for our fields of golden roses. I think you'd have liked it.

[ Finally, someone that appreciates the plant life. ]

The flora is quite remarkable, isn't it? I've grown quite fond of it all.

I've an interest in gardening myself, as it happens.

[perhaps they might compare notes...]

Enchantée, my name is Cheryl.

I love poetry. Maybe I can read some of yours sometime?

Hello, Mr. Prouvaire. My name is Diana, and I'm from rather close to your home-- England, to be precise.

What sort of plants do you enjoy tending to?

_{[Hello Jean. Meet Diva. She's currently laying on her bed, feet in the air behind her, swaying. She looks pretty content, bright blue eyes focused on her screen, the tips of her fangs peeking out just enough over her lip to make them visible. Really, she would've ignored his post if it wasn't for one little detail.]}

You're from France?

Hm. I don't know you, and don't have much interest in learning about you --

But it is rare to find people interested in poetry in this age. [ At least, in the time he comes from. He acknowledges that Jehan might come from a different time. ]

Have you published any poems?

[originallutece]

It isn't the plants you have to worry about, though I think you have an altogether too cavalier attitude about them. But it's the fauna, not the flora, that you ought to be wary over.

[illuminescent]

Are you friends, sir, with Grantaire?

You've got a lot of pep for someone that's lost their world and crawled out of a freezer.

I'm a bit of a poet myself.
