[The white-haired man peering out of the screen at you has a faintly dubious expression on what you can see of his face, like he wasn't actually sure this would work.]

Uh... hey. [A slight pause, like he's not sure what to say.] I'm not used to talking for this kind of thing... I guess... I'm new here? The name's Ginko. Looks like I'm stuck here with the rest of you for a while, so I'd really like to get to know as many people as possible.

I've been assigned to be one of your medics. Hopefully I won't meet too many people because of that, though.

[But if this is the kind of place he thinks it is, he doesn't have his hopes up about that.

Another, smaller hesitation.]

Ah... if anyone here recognizes the name Edensphere... I'd definitely like to meet you. You might know me as Cloud, in that case.

[He kind of nods to the screen, and cuts the feed.]

Oh, that would be nice! In fact, there's a number of other new arrivals I would like to get to know better as well...

Perhaps we could all meet up for a warm cup of qruomet?

That sounds pretty nice.

...but what's qruomet?

[He tried to pronounce it like she did, but he probably totally butchered it.]

It's a drink made by soaking cured leaves from an evergreen shrub in hot water. It might sound odd, but it's very good.

[It's tea. It's a keysmash name for a kind of space tea.]

Oh! Yeah, I know what that is. I call it something else, but... I'm sure we can find a variety you like.

[He can't imagine the ship doesn't have tea, ok. It's here somewhere, they will find it.]

[patchricide]

Oh? What is it called here? And what kind of varieties are there?

Tea, and well... there are a lot. I don't know exactly how many kinds they have on the ship, but there are some that are flavored with dried fruit, and they can have a different taste depending on how the leaves are prepared, and what leaves are used.
