01 ☢ video
[The camera clicks on to reveal a skinny kid with a mess of brown hair. He's holding the tablet in front of him, so the view's a bit shaky; it doesn't help that he's fidgeting and gesturing with his other hand as he speaks, first and foremost being a quick and awkward wave hello.]
Hey. Hello? This is on, right? You know, they should put a light on these things to show they're transmitting. Maybe they do, I didn't really - [Barely a pause as he checks himself, gets back on track.]
Sorry. Hi, my name's Peter. Peter Parker. So I got the welcome tour, and I guess my big question is - where can we get decent food around here?
[Priorities. He got most of the relevant info the other day, anyway. He almost looks like he's done, but then he abruptly remembers something and speaks up again in a rush.] And I made a thing. I mean, I didn't really make it, I just re-made it. I probably messed some of it up, but I guess nobody here's going to know any better, right?
It's for Collette, but I figured anybody could use it. Let me know if you have questions, or just type "help" and it should cover the bases. And don't forget to use your lanterns. [And Peter out - no wait, just kidding. He's half a second from ending the transmission before he stops.]
It's a game, by the way. The thing.
[He's done for real this time, pending an attachment:]

[There's a pause, because he's not sure if it's rude to interrogate people here, but he goes for it anyway.]
Where are you from?

video;
[Nope, no clue.] I'm from Queens. [That's probably too specific.] New York? America, Earth, the Milk Way.
video;
Queens? You don't look like no lady.
video;
[And what.]
What? I'm not- no, it's just called Queens. It's not like a place where queens live. Not that kind, anyway. Why, is that like- do you have kings and queens at the Wall?

Was it really different from this? You know, the apartments and the food carts. [ He's guessing yes if there was a king and she hunted for food. ]

[ How do you not trust a building, really. ]
Where's your camp at? Can I check it out sometime? [ Because seriously, you sound like an exhibit at the Museum of Natural History, no offense. He kind of wants to see that. ]
video;
[Eying you up.]
It's not far.
video;
[ ... was she just eyeing him up. ]
Well if you're cool with it, I'll swing by sometime. Is that cool? [ swing get it ]
video;
video; cries
No! No, I just - I mean, not that I wouldn't, you're very pretty, but - no, I just wanted to see your... camp. [ That does sound kind of awful, doesn't it. This next part is a silly oversimplification, but he's trying to save some face, here. ] We don't do a lot of camping where I'm from.
video; Ygritte is the worst. i should have prefaced this by saying that
Oh, I get it. You've never lied with a woman.
video; i think you misspelled best
Never lied with a - are you talking about sex?
[ Let's just clarify your weird renfaire talk before he gets defensive, thanks. Or actually, no, let's not. ]
I mean - no, don't answer that. What does that have to do with camping?
video; im so sorry. except i'm not
O' course that's what I mean.
You're a pretty lad. Don't you know how t'do it?
video; NO ME i'm sorry for slow
Thanks?
[ That was a compliment, right? ] But yeah, I know where to- sorry, why are you asking me this? Is looking at camps a euphemism where you come from?
video; no worries. this tag was glorious enough to wait for
[She has the repress the half laugh. This is too easy.]
You ask t'see my camp. That means sharin' furs where I'm from. There's only one thing a man and a women do in furs, and sleep comes after that.
video; i love herrrrrr
What- [ No, wait, just don't engage. ] Well, sorry to break it to you, but seeing someone's camp does not mean sharing furs in Queens. Most of us don't even have furs to share.
You don't ever just give innocent tours of your house? Seriously, that sounds like it'd place severe limitations on your social interaction.
video; i am glad
Why would I do that? My social-- whatever is just fine. I'm not the one whose never lied with a woman. [Scoff. And he questions her interactions.]
video; cries
No, I don't - I wasn't asking for clarification, I know what "bone" means. [ And no, he hasn't, but he's not going to argue, thank you. Instead, he goes from flustered to slightly confused, then settles for eyeing the screen somewhat critically. ]
Remind me to never invite you over for pizza.
video; the best sort of tears
video;
[ Well........ ]
I guess it depends on your date.
