WELCOME POTLUCK

Greetings, residents! Those more observant sorts among you may have noticed a large influx of very crowded ferries. In order to welcome our new residents en masse, Town Hall is holding a potluck in Town Square. Please bring a dish if you are able and make a new friend!

All of our newest arrivals need only bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all into our community, and may your lanterns always be lit.

This event is open to all! In light of our new influx of prospective players following the Great Sail Migration, we've decided to offer a small public event to tide everyone over until the TDM this weekend.

"Friend Lieutenant, I would be delighted to teach thee!" Anzu says. And his expression confirms that he means it – he's not just being polite.

(He did, without precisely intending to, slip into the modern style of address common by the Talons Commune.)

"In exchange, I would be more than happy to take thee up on thine offer, and learn thy Sector Standard. But! A condition. A condition. I shall teach thee not merely the words, but their context, too. And in exchange, thou shalt do the same—teach me not just the language, but also something about the people what speak it. That way, should either of us ever need to use the knowledge, we'll be prepared to look out for cultural nuances"

He beams, excited about the opportunity, by the novelty of learning a language from a different world — not the way he seems to have learned the language spoken here, but deliberately, through his own intellectual effort.
