question for those of you who are coming to earth OR have already come to earth!

because i'm curious: what are you most excited to do when you get back down OR what was the very first thing you did when you came back that you couldn't do on the moon :)

I suppose settling in is relative, is it not? It isn't really a routine experience, to find oneself launched some 1400 years in the future. But I have managed, I think.

[quackery]

if there's any questions you need answered or things you need help with i'd be glad to try

[iphigeneia]

That is very kind of you to offer. [And slightly suspicious. So many kind, helpful people...] I must admit, I am not accustomed to such kindness.

[quackery]

oh don't mention it! but yeah a lot of the people here are really nice :) it's a good thing to be able to count on

[iphigeneia]

Is it wise to trust them? I've been advised that there are untrustworthy individuals around.

[quackery]

not everyone is nice but i've met a lot of good people here

i mean it's up to you though if you meet someone who seems nice but you feel like might not really be nice i'd be careful

[iphigeneia]

I shall certainly take that under advisement. And I appreciate your candor, miss.

[quackery]

candor?

[iphigeneia]

Your frankness.

[quackery]

oh! okay haha

well you're welcome :) my name is ahiru

[iphigeneia]

I am Felicity Worthington. It is a pleasure.

[quackery]

ohhh what a pretty name! it's nice to meet you too

[iphigeneia]

Thank you. I always thought it rather a long name. [So many syllables.]

[quackery]

long doesn't mean bad though! i like it

[iphigeneia]

That is very kind.

I must admit, I've never heard the name Ahiru before.

[quackery]

haha yeah me neither! i guess you could say it's unique

[iphigeneia]

Wherever did your parents come up with it?

[quackery]

[She doesn't really want to say she doesn't have any, not when she's first meeting this girl, and especially when Felicity must be overwhelmed enough by showing up here.]

it's actually a kind of bird!

[iphigeneia]

A bird? How novel.

[quackery]

what about a book?

[iphigeneia]

A book? [SO CONFUSE] You mean the expression?

[quackery]

you said it was novel

[iphigeneia]

A novel is not just a book. It also means new, or different.

[quackery]

oh! oh i'm sorry i didn't know that haha

that's cool though i'll have to remember

[iphigeneia]

You needn't apologize. All you need do is remain open to new ideas.
