Hello!

[That's a good start, he thinks.]

I'm quite new here-- this is all quite fascinating. How many others are there here? What are your worlds like? I know those are rather broad questions, but I've never encountered people from other worlds before-- or at least, not friendly ones. Do you have magic where you're from? Is the technology anything like it is here? What--

[Breathe, Merlin. He cuts himself off with an apologetic little grin.]

Sorry. But it's exciting, isn't it! I'm in-- I think it's called Sorcery? But I'm going to be heading through all the bits of the city over the next few weeks-- or, at well, as much as I can, anyway, I'm manservant to a prince, I can't just disappear for ages, even he'd notice-- but when I'm here, anyway. Have any of you ever encountered devices like these? They're terribly convenient, I wish I could take it back home.

Oh! Sorry-- my name's Merlin!

Ah, sure. It's sorcery. [There's a lot of hand gesturing as he speaks. He's always done that, but it gets worse when he's nervous and awkward. How does one even say hey are you my great-great-greatx1000-gran--? Yeah, no. It sounds super stupid even in his head.] Sorcery... mixed with science. That's pretty much how it works in my world. You have to understand how something works if you want to, like-- magic it up.
