Oh! Hullo, everyone!

[Pippin is grinning, proud of himself for figuring out how to make a mass message, instead of just responding to one.]

I hope I'm not bothering anyone, but I was curious if anyone could tell me about the taverns here, such as which are the best, which are the worst, and so forth. You see, we Hobbits enjoy a fine ale just as much as the Big Folk, and it's been a frightfully long time since I've had one.

[He's exaggerating. It hasn't even been a month yet.]

So you see, I'd be most grateful if I could have this information, and perhaps we could even go together? Ehm, thank you for listening!

[He waves at the camera and then puts on his concentrating face as he tries to figure out how to end the message. But then suddenly he thinks of something and looks startled.]

I'm not offering to buy anybody a drink, mind you. I'm sure you're all lovely people, but I don't want to spend all my pocket money in one go. You understand, I'm sure.

[Well Pippin will find that to be good news!]

Hullo, Kang! If I may, what sort of, ehm, I mean-- what race are you from? I am a Hobbit, myself.

[governorkang]

I am a draconian.

[He's gotten used to it by now, so he's slightly amused.

Wait, didn't that one human mention hobbits before?]

[foolofatook]

Indeed? I have not heard of such a race before. Not in my land.

[governorkang]

I'm beginning to think we don't exist in any fashion on any other world.

[foolofatook]

It is perhaps the same for Hobbits. At least, from what I've gathered so far.

SUPER LATE

[governorkang]

Does your world have races such as elves and dwarves, or goblins?

[Or worse, kender?]

[foolofatook]

Why yes, we have them all!

[governorkang]

It doesn't seem as if there are many of us from such worlds here. Most humans I've talked to think it's strange to have more than one race.

[foolofatook]

Oh? That seems odd. Well, I'm sure they at least have birds and beasts, if they do not have other races who can speak.
