[Netbook] Baby's (grown man) first Netbook

[ninelines]

Hi there! I'm Lodi – I'm a relatively new face around here and I've only met a handful of you, but I know tensions are... high, at the moment, for obvious reasons. So I thought even a smidgen of a distraction might be good for some folks! I'd like to get to know everyone regardless, so if you'd humor me:

• What's one phrase that's common where you're from, but might confuse someone who isn't? Bonus points if you explain the meaning.
  
• I'd like to know about your star systems! Do you have a favorite star or constellation? Does it mean something special to you?
  
• Can you dance? Would you like to learn? Would you be open to someone in the Grove (not naming names!) teaching you?
  
• What language or languages do you speak?

Or, frankly, you can just talk at me about whatever. I'm open to conversation. Thanks!

[The handwriting is, like, exceptionally, painstakingly neat. Whomever was writing this wanted to make it easy for anyone to read.]

3. Gramps! Yeesh. You’re kind of breaking my heart over here. I’m at least 90% sure this is the third time in this particular venue alone that someone has called me old. To be completely and utterly honest with you, my exact age is kind of up in the air given the, well, time travel. I’m at least 35. Which, yeah, okay, probably sounds pretty old!

4. Teaching yourself something like that is pretty darn impressive in my book. Have you felt particularly inspired by anything that you’ve seen here? Or has it mostly been too, uh, stressful to even really think about something like that? I… can’t imagine really wanting to go out and film right now, for example.

3. As far as I know! It would've put a real damper on things if I'd had to duck and weave when I first arrived and my hips were broken. I really do appreciate the concern, though. It's real kind of you.

[Is he using his genial tone for ill to make Urbain feel a little bad about calling him old? Maybe. Are you really gonna tell this nice man to his face that you're making fun of him, not showing concern for his well-being?]

4. Do you have any ideas already brewing?
