Hello. My name is Albinia and I've newly arrived here. I have a few questions I hope people will answer. A general one, a functional one, and one for fun.

1. What is your opinion of being in this place? I would appreciate details, but even a few words is helpful.

2. Who would be willing to agree to a touch arrangement with someone who is unused to touch and generally brings the temperature around them by several degrees?

3. What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

My name is Knuckles, I've been here a few weeks now. 1. Almost everyone I've met is surprisingly friendly. Although it would not be wise to let your guard down when strange things start happening. There was an unexpected growth spurt of berries and mushrooms a little while ago and they were not as safe to eat as they seemed. 2.I would be willing. I am not used to getting touched often either.

1. Yes, I encountered those my first day. They were an unfortunate discovery.

2. Then I would appreciate the aid. Its been a few days, and I think I am feeling the effects of withdrawal. I'll have to be more consistent to avoid that.

Unfortunate is one way of putting it. And of course I would be willing to offer aid, is there anywhere you wanted to meet? I didn't know you were going to make the ice cream any sweet fruit will do if there is an easier one.

I have one of the starting apartments not far from the Winter Guild, but I don't need to be anywhere at this time if there's somewhere more comfortable for you.

I like making it. It doesn't take a lot of effort, but its still enjoyable enough that it can be soothing while I'm adjusting to a new situation. I can do grape.

That's okay, I can meet you at the entrance in a half hour maybe? Thank you that's very kind.

[Seriously why is everyone he meets here so nice?]

I'll be there.

Oh.

You're welcome.

[Thank yous are Still Weird.]

[Knuckles had been learning the lay out of the city since he first arrived it didn't take him that long to make his way over to the winter guild, He was about to pull his communicator back out to call Albinia to let them know he had arrived when he noticed a lady who looked like she was waiting for someone.]

Excuse me, Are you Albinia?

[She is always about being punctual, so a half hour later, she is indeed waiting at the entrance.]

[She looks over at the voice and she nods.] I am, yes. And you're Knuckles?

I am. [Knuckles offers his hand to shake.]

It's nice to meet you face to face.

[She will reaches out to shake his hand. And she wasn't kidding, her body temperature is definitely notably lower than normal.]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well.

[Knuckles could indeed feel it, the fir on his arms bristling slightly. He was glad he was wearing gloves, but he didn't shrink away from the temperature.]

I hope this isn't too out of line but I'm surprised that someone as nice seeming as you is unused to touch.

...

Its not out of line. Its not something I hear often. [Most consider her too cold, emotionally speaking.]

I'm also a god, so interacting with people is usually more...limited.

[Knuckles looks at albinia with wide eyes.]

This world's spell was strong enough to capture a god?

I hope you don't have too much trouble adapting to life here.

(So sorry to have kept you waiting so long, I somehow managed to totally miss this tag)

I have been weakened for some time and my homeworld had...weakened the barrier beween dimensions.

Their work is a great feat, but its not as great as a feat as you may be imagining just because I'm a god.

[There is a pause.]

That will have to be seen. I can usually understand the new, but I'm also not existing how I normally do.

Still... you were brought here and had er... how you exist changed, on top of already having been weakened? That is a lot to adapt to.

[And a fair bit for Knuckles to wrap his head around to be truthful, but he's trying his best.]

Did you want to talk about it?

1. I like this place. I am glad I'm here to help out this world. And I have friends here from home so that definitely helps.

2. I don't mind the cold. I could help with that. I got a friend I kinda already help with that here to be honest.

3. Cherry ice cream. Cherries are my favorite stone fruit.

1. Having loved ones does seem to help.

2. I would appreciate it. Its always best to have several people to ask for help.

3. Cherries do seem popular. Do you prefer it as just cherry, or with chocolate?

It really does.

Makes sense to me. Definitely a good plan.

They are a great stone fruit. I like cherries straight up and with chocolate. And vanilla too. I also love apples too.

Apple seems to be a less common flavor for ice cream. Even though it seems popular to combine with apple pie.

You're a fan of stone fruit?

It is but there are some like apple pie flavored ice creams.

I am. Pretty sure it comes from my mentor. He loves peaches.

Edited 2023-09-25 03:35 (UTC)

Those do sound interesting. Do they need to bake a whole pie or is it just the ingredients?

Have you been learning from him for some time then?

That's a good question. Probably with the pie crust would have to be cooked.

About a year or so now.

Raw dough would be unpleasant.

He must be very influential then, to have such an impact in such a short amount of time.

It helps that he's been my hero as long as I can remember. I grew up hearing stories about him. Yeah.

He's left a huge impact. And I'm really glad he's here too.

Oh? A hero of legend then. He must be something.

It is easier when there is someone you know present.

He really is! He's the best.

And it really is. It's nice. Helped me not feel alone when I first got here.

1. I like it here most of the time. It's head and shoulders above the last place I was staying, so that helps. The city is like so many others, there's a lot to do and plenty of options depending on your taste. The Segments are fun if you can be ready for almost anything, just watch out for some of the effects the flora and fauna might give you.

2. I won't be able to make a long term commitment, but for while I'm around I wouldn't mind helping with touch. I don't mind the cold.

3. I'll eat any ice cream really, it's all delicious, but if I had to pick a favorite I suppose... anything with chocolate as a base.

1. The last place you were staying? What is the effect of the flora and fauna?

2. Hopefully I will be able to socialize enough where I won't need people to promise long term commitments, but the aid is appreciated in the short term.

3. Chocolate is quite popular.
