[You've probably seen this kid running around for the last two weeks, shrieking excitedly when he notices you're a human being (or fish person, or troll, or whatever; he's pretty excitable). But it's only now he attacks the network, all smiles and cheer.]

Holy SCHMAO, you guys, I've never seen so many humans! This is amazing! Where I'm from-- well, my name is Finn, first off! Finn the Human, from the land of Ooo! I'm basically a knight there, it's pretty great. I fight evil and stuff with my brother! But I'm the last human being ever, and I've never seen any others before-- but here you all are! Which is awesome! We should all get together and talk about human stuff. What do you eat? Do you like bacon pancakes? What about--

[Oh wait no he had a message here. Finn takes a breath and adds:]

Anyway, uh-- I know things are kind of bumslops right now, but, uh, you gotta just keep your chin up! Sometimes being a hero means nobody likes you very much, or they think you're wrong, or even making mistakes. But as long as you're trying to do the right thing, you're all right!

Oh, and-- if anybody needs lessons in being a hero, I'm totally free. I've got, like, a billion years experience in it.

Hi!

[He throws open the door happily. He's already covered in flour, and he's got pans and eggs and milk on the counter.]

Let's make pancakes!

Hey. [He lifts the bag he brought over, and says,] I guess I brought some extra.

[He steps into the apartment, looking at the sight of Finn covered with flour with visible amusement.]

Full disclaimer: I don't actually remember how to make pancakes. [Not without looking up a recipe on the 'net, anyway.] You're gonna have to show me the ropes.

Aww, that's okay! We can totally wing it. I put eggs and flour and oil in it . . . it tastes pretty good so far. Here, have some!

Raw? That's how you get salmonella.

[That is, admittedly, an automatic reaction after being lectured on it time and time again. It doesn't mean that Jaime doesn't swipe his pinky finger across the mixing spoon to stick it in his face anyway, because listening to ever health hazard in the book would get old, and fast.]

Huh. Needs sugar, I think.

Good idea!

[He races around, searching for the sugar.]

Where are you from?

I'm from a version of Earth, just like this place - except I live across the sea from here, in America. [It's weird, how specifying what planet he's from has become standard.]

It's way different from the place you're from, from the sounds of it. We've... mostly got humans, and our dogs don't talk.

Ohhhh. What else besides mostly humans?

We've got a few people from different planets that have been living on Earth. Martians and Kryptonians are the big ones.
