Okay, okay, so this thing is... broadcasting? I think? I get that right, Sorpresa?

[The Fletchling looks at Arado. The purple-haired young man is staring at the transmitter that he is cradling in his hand, with his Fletchling floating by his head. He hasn't used something like this so freely before and he's a little amazed. Part of him wants to throw it, to see if he'll get in trouble.]

[He refrains. Barely.]

Hi, wonderful and amazing people of Union! Your city's named after a word! It's pretty lucky, if you ask me. What's Union about? It's about... uh... unionery! Yeah, totally.

[NAILED IT.]

Anyways, my name is Arado. And I guess there's things I'm supposed to tell you and they're important or something but priorities, guys! 'Cause...

[His stomach rumbles. Audibly. The feed shakes a little.]

I'm pretty hungry.

[.......Tiki will let this go on for a few moments before gently interrupting.]

Are you... feeling well? You seem very energetic...

[That's one way of putting it.]

[wildflight]

[His ramble trails off, and he looks not really concerned but maybe confounded.]

I don't look sick, do I?

[thedivinevoice]

You sound... feverish.

It may be helpful to lie down for a bit... If you need food, I would be happy to bring some for you.

[wildflight]

I-I don't think I have a fever! Oh man, how do I tell if I have a fever?

[Things he hasn't had to worry about before!]

You'd bring me some food, though? That would be greaaaat!

[thedivinevoice]

[Oooor maybe this is just what he's like normally. Tiki is beginning to wonder if maybe his problem is actually minor insanity.]

You... don't know what a fever is? Your forehead would feel warm to others - but you would feel chills from the change in body temperature.

[wildflight]

Huh. Nope, nope! I'm like totally fine, normal body temperature, no chills!

[Tiki might be onto something. Also, he has endless energy. To match the endless appetite.]

[thedivinevoice]

Then... you're saying you've always behaved like this?

[Alas, humans were indecipherable creatures.]

[wildflight]

Yep! That's just me, and it's awesome.

[thedivinevoice]

Mm.

[Tiki will nod a little bit.]

Well... As you prefer, then. The way you behave is solely your choice, after all.

As a note of warning... it is a bit ...overly energetic.

[wildflight]

Eheheh... I've had people tell me that before. Hopefully it's not gonna be too annoying!

[thedivinevoice]

I am not easily annoyed, though I fear I have the opposite problem...

[wildflight]

There's an opposite of easily annoyed?

[thedivinevoice]

Ah - No. ...The opposite problem of being overly energetic. I find myself dozing off very often...

[wildflight]

Ohhhh! Nap-o-lepsy! I think that's what it's called. You just kinda fall asleep sometimes?

[thedivinevoice]

Yes, that's right...

Perhaps we can rub off on each other and arrive at a sort of 'happy medium', as they say...

[wildflight]

Yeah! That's a great idea! We can't go wrong!

We'll be Team Happy Medium! Or something!

[thedivinevoice]

...I'm afraid people will start asking us to commune with the spirits of the dead if we begin calling ourselves that.

[wildflight]

Huh? Because it sounds all balanced and cheerful and stuff?

[thedivinevoice]

Aha...

No, I spoke in jest. ...Don't dwell too much upon it.

[Note to self: don't make puns in front of this person...]

[wildflight]

Oh! Sure, I can do that! I'm good at not thinking about stuff!

[thedivinevoice]

I... I see. That is indeed a... sort of skill.

[Tiki coughs a little awkwardly at this point.]

Well, then. I shall bring some food, as promised. ...Where are you now?

[wildflight]

I'm, uh...

[New to Union and not sure how to describe where he is. After a pause, he rotates his warp band around slowly to just show the surroundings off.]

[He's in one of the residential districts, along a main avenue.]

That help? I'm still getting a feel for the lay of the land!

[thedivinevoice]

...Er.

[Tiki has only lived here a few months, but...]

I... believe I know about where that is. I'll try to be by shortly.

[wildflight]

Awright! I'll be right here, waiting!

[thedivinevoice]

[Arado might be waiting a while, given that Tiki has to find food and then puzzle out wherever it is that he is. She'll appear nearby around a half hour later with a basket, wandering around with a slight look of confusion.]
