"Don't eat other citizens," - someone really thinks it's necessary to give that direction? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's definitely good to not eat other people, I would just think that it wouldn't be the best idea to bring people that might eat the other citizens. It wouldn't really be cannibalism though, right? Because if you brought someone from another planet that wasn't a human, but ate humans, then....

[Billy kind of trails off as he contemplates this - and then the fact that wow the first thing he's posting to the notwork is discussing the technical terminology of cannibalism when it comes to alien races. Awkward.]

Anyway, hi. I'm Billy. I was kind of in the middle of something back home but I'm guessing that's not really going to do anything for me in terms of getting back there, so it's probably better just to get into this whole network....thing.

Oh, yeah, one last question - so "Stark Technologies" communicator, right? That wouldn't happen to be Stark as in Tony Stark, would it?

[I mean, hey, there are other Starks in other worlds. GRRM is particularly fond of killing them.]

[soulbonder]

And they are, who, exactly?

[tesselate]

Oh! Teddy, he's my boyfriend. He's part kree and part skrull.

[soulbonder]

[Wow, he's a little weary about this conversation now. He never thought Skrulls were bad-- misguided, maybe, a little foolish, perhaps. The other humans here, though... So, part Skrull, huh?]

That's rather fascinating, but I admit I'm only passingly familiar with Skrulls. I assume Kree is another alien race? Or am I mistaken?

[tesselate]

Yeah, they're actually races that have been warring for forever. Skrulls have...a really bad reputation, and I can't imagine it's much better here with the whole Statue of Liberty thing but Teddy grew up on Earth he's not really the take-over-the-earth-type.

[soulbonder]

It's not, I'm afraid. But I don't believe the ones here are take-over-the-Earth-- [he's trying to mimic Billy, but it sounds really weird] types, either.

Anyway, from the way you speak of him, he sounds like a very good person. He doesn't eat humans, and he isn't interested in hostile takeover. If I know anything about humans, they believe those are very positive traits. [This is a terrible attempt at a joke.]

[tesselate]

[Billy laughs!! Joke accomplished]

Those are pretty easy qualifications to be a good person. But, seriously, Teddy is really good. Great, even. The best a person could ask for.

[soulbonder]

It's nice to have that sort of companionship.

[tesselate]

It really is. I'm really lucky.
