[you can hear the ambient noise of a restaurant in the background.]

Well! Now that I've figured out how this device works, I should probably introduce myself. My name is Hans, Prince of the Southern Isles and fellow imPort. I've met some of you at the party-oh, let me just swap this to the video for a moment.

[And then, he fiddles for a moment and manages to turn the video on: Hans is sitting in what looks like a restaurant-decidedly not the Hard Rock Cafe (though the eagle-eyed viewer can catch the edges of the Hard Rock Cafe logo on his black work polo. He's broadcasting this from his lunch break.]

Is it working? It should be working. [He shrugs, waves at the camera, then clicks it back off, swapping to audio.]

Anyway, it's become more and more obvious to me that I know next to nothing about this land. So, I'd appreciate any knowledge about customs and traditions of America. I already know about your president, thanks to Nelson, but what about your courts, your military strength, what it takes to get married, things like that?

[why yes he deliberately picked that last topic, sorry not sorry Anna.]

Any information would be appreciated!

[thankfully, someone has taught Hans how to use the private function, so he can swap it here so prying eyes (Chilton) and people who he just doesn't want to talk about this with (Elsa) can't see it.]

She is! We ran into each other at the ball that was held.

Ah, the one we all so recently participated in. Were you as terribly surprised by the unexpected company as several of us were?

( Birds, man, and noting this privacy. )

permaprivate as well

I was! Truth be told, I wasn't expecting any of that to happen. [yep, he's talking about the bird.]

[auntyquated]

Fair or not, it's those kinds of unexpected occurrences that often plague us in these new places... ah, but the company you'll have will surely warm your heart through all that will come.

[iampretty]

Oh, it will! Now that Anna's here...well, I feel a lot more at ease.
