That was an unexpected experience.

I suppose that the appropriate thing do in a situation like this is to introduce myself; very well. I am called Kaworu Nagisa. I am fifteen years old. I enjoy piano music and spending time by the water. I will be staying in this city indefinitely. According to my teammates, I am 'unliked,' 'filthy,' and 'weird.' It seems I have some difficulty adapting to new circumstances, so I hope that you will have patience with me and correct my errors.

If you would introduce yourselves to me, I would be very interested in learning more about all of you. 'Being around people' is one of the circumstances I have yet to adjust to.

I find this city to be a friendly place, by and large - although the magic of this world is strange and unpredictable. Still, I hope you find your stay enjoyable.

I am Braska - I'm a healer, mostly.

Thank you, Braska-san. I would be very interested to hear more about this world's magic, if you have the time.

Unfortunately I do not know much of it myself. But...strange things happen here rather frequently. Just...a warning, I suppose.

From:

notdogmatic

I appreciate the warning. However, I am used to handling strange phenomena.

Well that's not very kind of them... Hopefully you'll find some friends here in Desai. Welcome to the city!

I'm Sheska - I work as a librarian for Lord DeAngelis. If you need any help, please let me know and I'll do what I can, or point you in the right direction.

A consequence of being slow to adapt in social situations. I am glad they told me, or I would not have known.

I appreciate your offer of assistance.

YEAH weird is probably right

Totally agreed - major basement-dweller vibes here.

ewwwwwwwwww

Constructive criticism would be appreciated.

Who are you?

Yelena Rossini, journalist. And asking for constructive criticism of your social skills kind of pushes you up a notch on the 'weird' scale - normal people don't do that.

Oh? I still haven't mastered even such a basic skill as 'introductions' or 'small talk' then.

Can you tell me why I seem 'weird?'

I'm Xander Harris. I... kinda recognize what you've been through there with your friends.

From:

Can you offer any advice? It's important that I be able to project a better impression.

From:

It was more a case of recognizing the name-calling thing, you know? I was called... a lot of bad names to when I was younger. I gave up after awhile, and just... was myself, you know? That way I got few but true friends instead.
