I'm suffering from some pretty major culture shock right now. Even the computers are different -- but thankfully, I can still talk to those. It's pretty kriffing strange doing so without the Force, though. That would be where this whole culture shock thing comes in again.

Anyway, I've got some questions and I assumed some of you could help me out. Yeah, I know what assuming does, don't worry. Still:

1. Caffeinated beverages. Preferably warm ones. No one seems to know what "caf" is, though they can serve me tea with no problems. Please, please tell me this universe has some version of caf I just don't know the name of.

2. Ships. I'm a pilot. I like to fly. You know, in the same way that people generally like being attached to their heads. Am I seriously limited to one planet? No space travel? That's a bad joke, right?

3. -- I don't actually have a third thing. Oh! I'm Anakin, nice to meet you, so on, so forth.

These are in order of importance.

I think the drink you're looking for is called coffee.

anakin would appreciate that

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Coffee ... huh, that doesn't sound too weird. That's the hot, slightly-bitter stuff that'll keep me up 'til all hours, yeah?

BRAIN STILL BREAKING

In case aliens invade the City, we'll call you.

[creampuffedly.livejournal.com]

Um... I think you're talking about coffee. And you are limited to this planet-- I think-- but... we do have flying here?

And hello Anakin! I'm Mamori!

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Coffee, yeah. I'm going to buy up a store's supply as soon as I find some cash.

--like, atmospheric flying? Is that it?

Nice to meet you, Mamori, even if you do bear some bad news.

'Anakin'?



Like. "Luke I am your father"-Anakin?

...

You knew my Grandfather?

First comic book character. Then a cartoon character. What next? Video games?

Welcome to the City. I think the caf you're looking for would be coffee. There's usually a place on every street that serves it.

anakin politely ignores it but makes this face: :|

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Caf on every street? I'm starting to like this City already.

[verycheerful.livejournal.com]

Welcome, Anakin; I'm Kristoph. I'm sorry to hear that your transfer here has cut down on your travel somewhat. Where I'm from, we've examined our moon and a neighboring planet, but nothing beyond that.

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

I think I'll get over the lack of travel. It's ... still more than I thought I had to look forward to, anyway.

Ah -- so you're in the very early stages of space exploration? Interesting. I've never actually read an accurate account of a planet just starting out like that.

[greenarrowtoo.livejournal.com]

Mice to meet you, Anakin. I wouldn't worry too much about being stuck on one planet. There are already aliens here, and anyway, GL's here. If you get bored, ask him to take you offworld.

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Huh, it must be almost as strange for non-humans stuck here as me. I'll have to keep an eye out for them.

--he can do that? Who is he?

[static-hawk.livejournal.com]

Um.

What?

Perfect icon reaction is perfect

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Caf, ships, intro, in that order.

Or did you want something other than a quick summary?

[manlygirlskrull.livejournal.com]

Yes, it seems we are limited to this version of Earth.

Are you not human?

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

No, I'm human. I'm just not from around here. Never heard of a planet called Earth before, and I've heard of a lot of planets.

[fuckrobertfrost.livejournal.com]

This is a test. It is only a test. In the event of an actual nerd emergency, we would already be laughing.

Do the following words or phrases mean anything to you: convention, travesty, "that fat kid on youtube", Indiana Jones, ticket sales?

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Do you always make this much sense, or are you making a special effort for the new kid?

[hellraiser02.livejournal.com]

You're a pilot?




Space travel...? Can't be
Just what sorts of.. ships do you fly?

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Not as a real job, that'd be my sister, but I've flown in a few battles.

X-wings, mostly, though I'm competent in other starfighters. Not such a fan of bigger ships, but I can fly them okay.

You?

[ravagingchaos.livejournal.com]

I guess you could try to become an astronaut, but I bet that would take a wickedly serious long time and that Iron Perv would have a problem with it. I'd suggest becoming a big fan of sci fi movies.

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Doesn't look like I'm going anywhere else any time soon. What's an astronaut, anyway? Something to do with space, I assume.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

The Force? Seriously?

Oh, man. Terry's gonna flip.

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You heard of it? Energy field that binds all living things together, and so on, except here, apparently. Gonna take a while to get used to that.

[phaseback.livejournal.com]

Huh. Hey, I'm Kitty! I'm pretty sure there are no space ships around here unless you go to a carnival or something.

[hansolojr.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Kitty.

... uh, not sure even I could adapt a carnival space ship to actually fly in space, but y'know what? I kinda want to try, now.
