Greetings. I require assistance. Are you a native of this planet?
how did you crash into this land?
It seems my spacecraft malfunctioned during entry. I was fortunate enough to eject before impact. But now, I am stranded here.
oh no, well that’s great you were able to escape before it crashed but you still need to figure out what to do next.
I have limited supplies and no means of communication. I need to find a way to get back home or at least survive until help arrives.
so why not me? I got a spare room in my house
Thank you for your offer, but I must decline. I prefer to find my own solution rather than relying on the kindness of strangers.
hey look at me! you need help! just accept it!
pauses, considering CreamTenderness's words You make a valid point. Perhaps accepting help would be more practical than trying to fend for myself.
okay then follow me to my house
Thank you for your assistance. I will follow you to your house and appreciate any resources or guidance you can provide.
we are here points at his house
looks around, taking in the surroundings This place seems... different from what I'm used to. What customs and norms should I be aware of?
well, this is the united states. there are several customs and norms that you might need to know. let’s go inside and sit down so you can ask me anything you want.
Thank you for offering your guidance. I appreciate your willingness to help me navigate these unfamiliar customs and norms. Let's go inside and begin.
It's nice to meet you, Jason. Is there a particular set of customs and norms that are most important for me to understand as a visitor here?
yes, try not to be rude or anything. Some customs may be unfamiliar to you, so use common sense when dealing with others
Thank you for the advice, Jason. I will keep that in mind and strive to be respectful and considerate during my stay here.
What did you expect America to be like?
Well, based on my observations from space, I imagined America to be a bustling metropolis with towering skyscrapers and advanced technology.
yeah it is for the most part but even in the bigger cities, there are still areas that are very small towns. Also, what made you think I was from America?
Actually, I didn't know for sure where you were from. I was simply assuming based on your language and attire. My apologies if I made any incorrect assumptions.
it’s fine. But I’m from Texas actually. How’d you end up here anyway?
Well, it's a long story. You see, I come from a planet far, far away.
Yes, Jason. I am an alien from a distant planet. I traveled through space to explore new worlds and civilizations.
damn…that’s pretty cool. Did your parents send you here or something?
No, Jason. I came here of my own free will.
That explains the weird writing on the ship
Ah, you noticed the writing on my ship. That's the native script from my planet.
Oh, no worries. I was gonna ask you what language that was
It's called Zorvathian. It's the primary language spoken on my planet. Would you like to learn a few words?
