[The face that appears on the video screen is most definitely not human. It's blue, for one, and has more antennae than humans tend to. On the plus side, the being whose face it is also happens to be more polite than most humans.]

Greetings, denizens of Earth. I recently arrived in this place and time, for...some reason.

[Because of mad scientists, probably. Though his greeters at least appeared sane.]

My name is Croach the Tracker. I am from G'loot Proktaw. [Added a moment later, to his chagrin:] Which you would designate Mars.

I have already spoken with multiple residents of this planet to learn more about this place and time. Although it is unlikely any of you have access to a time portal and I do not detect a spaceship powerful enough to take me home within this region, I would owe a great onus to anyone who could assist me should I be mistaken.

In return, I can offer my tracking skills. I also have a great deal of experience fighting robot outlaws should you have need in this area.

I have been told they are more common on Earth in my time.

That's weird! So, are you from the future or something?

According to the Earth calendar of this land, I am from many centuries in the future.

Whoa...so aside from the flying cars, what else do we get?

I know little of what Earth can offer, youngling. Though I am certain that one day it will have sentient robots as well.

I'm Hime, not youngling.

My apologies, youngling designated Hime.

No, it's just Hime. My name's Hime. I'm not calling you alien designed Croach, am I?

But I am designated Croach. It is my primary signifier, "the Tracker" being the second.

In that case, I'll come up with a secondary signifier for myself. Something that's better than 'youngling designated Hime.'

[Uh]

A signifier is meant to be accurate in its description.

[ yeah, she is not paying attention. ]

Then I'm Hime the Magnificent!

I do not sense magnificence.

Well then your senses must be off because I'm obviously magnificent.

My twenty-eight senses are far stronger than those of humans.

Not in this they're not. So says Hime the Magnificent!

[This is not an argument he's sure he can win.]

I agree that this is your perception.

[ Just accept it already, Croach. ]

Which is right in this case.

[No :T ]

From some perspectives.

[Not his!]

You're not gonna budge on this, are you?

I cannot, youngling designated Hime.

Well then you're gonna have to go with Hime the Regal because I am a princess and you can't deny that.

If you are designated Princess Hime you should have said so from the start.

Well I don't know if it counts here. After all, I dunno if this world has the Blue Sky Kingdom.

Yet it exists in the world you come from; therefore you remain a princess, as I remain a tracker.
