[The young man is looking... understandably nervous as he faces the camera. He makes an effort to smooth his hair down and then flashes a winning (?!) smile. Is that a piece of broccoli in his teeth? Crap! He scrubs the cuff of his shirt against it and then coughs to cover the embarrassment, before diving into his totally-not-rehearsed-like-sixty-times speech.]

So.

Uh.

Hello. Hi. I-is this thing on? Joking, I'm kidding, I know it's on. Annnnd that's the punchline ruined, great, I'm amazing at this.

D-disastrous introductions aside, I'm Ashley. You may remember me from such greatest hits as 'that guy who tripped into the Chrysalis and brought us all here somehow' and, uh, 'that nervous dude who handed me a towel in the shower once' and you would be right, uh, that is, correct on both counts. I'm really sorry, by the way. For the... you know, the... thing. The first thing. Not the towels. Towels are great. I love towels.

Captain Childe asked me like a month ago to do some work with, uh, getting everyone in and settled and doing what we can to make you guys comfortable as much as we can actually help with. We know that you guys don't want to be here any more than we do. Ethyraia! Not exactly a fun time at Grandma's, right? Right.

Anyway, if you have any questions, or... you know, anything, or you just want to chat, come say hi. Introduce yourself? I know I'm kind of setting myself up to be the basecamp whipping boy over here but please don't yell at me I don't do well with that kind of attention.

Or you could just... I don't know, tell me something about yourself? We're still figuring each other out, right? Iiiiiiiiiii am a Scorpio, and I'm afraid of cats. N-not big cats. Lions are fine? I mean... like, normal housecats. So there you go, that's the fun fact of the week.

You tripped?

Tripped.

What is a Scorpio?

[A desert bug? A siege weapon? Ashley can’t be either of those things.]

Hello, Ashley - I'm Nina Zenik. [ She recognizes him, but a sheepish wave during interrogation doesn't really constitute an introduction. And even if it did, it doesn't hurt to introduce herself again. ]

I'm still not entirely sure I understand how someone [ see how she graciously leaves out 'YOU TRIPPING' ] bumping into the Chrysalis could cause such a strange... [ vague circular gestures with one hand ] this.

[Hello, Porter! The robot looking back does not look nervous, as he completely lacks facial expressions. His voice, however, is very excited and friendly!]

Hello! I'm a CL4P-TP Hyperion-brand steward robot, but you can call me Claptrap! I'm surprised you haven't been completely shunned by the community yet!
northerndragon: You made something impossible happen. (ohhhh i would never presume)

Is there a sign for wolves? Leo sounds like lion. I would not like to be a lion.

I was born in the eighth month. Early in it. I do not know if it was summer yet that year, or still only spring. There was a war, then.

[ Her brow furrows for a brief moment, because what she means is that correlation does not equal causation, but there's no point in pressing that if no one has any saints-damned clue as to what really happened and no one is going to go tripping into the Chrysalis to find out again anyway.

But then she smiles brightly. ]


I have been told I'm somewhat memorable. I choose to take it as a compliment. And I can't help but think you might be taking on too much of the blame here - after all, unless someone bumps into it again and more people show up, it's hard to know what actually happened.

CRYING 😂

You don’t have to start over. It’s not your fault that my birth makes me a lion.

Only, it’s the sigil of enemies of my family. Their words are HEAR ME ROAR.

But a man’s deeds show what he is, not his birth. Being a lion isn’t any worse than being a bastard.

[Little buddy... or more?? God, he's so lonely.]

I guess so! Some extremely cruel people might think you're just a liability, though. Not that I have experienced such hurtful, unnecessary language because I've ever made a mistake in my entire life!

Where I come from, people don’t even call all the stars the same thing. Some see crowns in a constellation, some see cradles.

Now we all only have these stars. Has anyone put names to them yet?

[ Tina is so close to the camera you can only clearly see one eye and her nose. She's added some kind of janky VHS flicker filter and has used a voice modulator that makes her sound vaguely like Christian Bale Batman. ]

You got some splainin' to do, son.

[He looks familiar, although Lance isn't totally sure if they've actually met; either way, Lance offers a small smile in an attempt to reassure him a little bit. ]

Hi Ashley. Aside from the whole Chrysalis thing and then dealing with us, what do you usually do here?
northerndragon: this is jon. he fights real good and we're proud of him. (right proper lad.)

[He had tried to learn about the stars, back in New Amsterdam, but you could barely see them in the city, and you were barely allowed outside of it.]

Which one is that — the boat?

[There were never any Romans in his world, and Latin and High Valyrian are not the same.]
