[This is coming across as audio because there is no way in hell he's about to introduce himself in his underwear! So fellow users of the datapad, have a very educated sounding British accent speaking to you without any video to go along with it.]Uh, right then. I'm not entirely certain where I am, except in a very nice apartment, thank you for ( Read more... )

[And over here, we have one tall, furry humanoid. More to the point, while he does answer the question of whether or not this is where he is (it's not), it all comes out as various growls.]

[video] excessivehubris October 12 2011, 03:11:14 UTC

[The growls get a double take, even as Charles finds himself almost automatically reading and responding to the 'answer' to his question.]

Yes, thank you for tha...

[He pauses mid word to really look at the humanoid, who reminds him quite a bit of Hank.]

Hello there, my goodness just look at you!

[Like a damn kid in a candy shop.]

[video] furwasflying October 12 2011, 03:33:50 UTC

[There's a brief moment of silence, and then he rumbles what sounds like it might be a question. He's... not anything out of the ordinary, for his species.]

[video] excessivehubris October 12 2011, 03:39:14 UTC

[Its ... its not a language as such that would come from a homo sapien or homo superior throat or even a human mind and for a moment Charles isn't sure quite what to make of it. Lifting his fingers to his temple to help sharpen his own focus, he is in time to catch the ... impressions for lack of a better word and he smiles, broad and warm.]

Your species? Are you native to this 'Republic' then or have you been drawn here from some world I can only imagine? As I have never encountered your like before.

[video] furwasflying October 12 2011, 03:51:34 UTC

[He nods at the first question, before giving the name of his species. If Charles is really looking, there are images of the tall - and apparently giant - wroshyr trees and the homes they made in them, along with a scattering of other wookies (his family). As for the other question, he answers that he's native to this universe, if not necessarily this timeline. But he knows (of) Jedi and Empires and Republics.]

[video] excessivehubris October 12 2011, 04:12:28 UTC

[Oh he's really looking. It may be rude but he can't help himself, the Wookie's mind is fascinating and Charles is completely engaged.

He smiles, broadly at the impressions of home and family, sending back that the trees look so very beautiful and how charming his family looks. Curiosity about them abounds in an almost rapid fire series of questions about Wookie culture, society, physiology and it's with an effort that Charles hauls himself back before possibly risking giving poor Chewie a headache!]

I apologize for getting carried away. So this is your world, just not your point in time. Are we before or after your own timeline? Do you know why we've been brought together like this? What is this war about?

[video] furwasflying October 12 2011, 04:31:21 UTC

[That is a surprising amount of questions to get all at once, and there's a hint of uncertainty at the concept of someone picking his brain quite like that. Still, he can't keep various memories and snippets from cropping up as the various questions are asked (snippets and fragments of the concept of honor and life debts, the sound of a voice Chewie knows and trusts admonishing someone to not anger a wookie, fragmentary glimpses of living a life that's largely arboreal...)

Once the apology comes, he seems to be a little less unsettled, although he's still not sure about mindreading. The war, he doesn't know much about, save for that it's Revan that brought them here, although he does mention this is the past for him. Far in the past, actually.]

[video] excessivehubris October 12 2011, 17:20:32 UTC

[It takes a force of conscious will for Charles not to chase after each of those delightful details, though he does stash away the memory of the voice and the advice!

Focusing on the answers to his direct questions, Charles frowns but its obvious that he's not directing his displeasure at Chewie, just frustrated with this elusive Revan.]

Thank you, my friend. It would appear that this Revan is enjoying a game of keeping us all in the dark.

[video] furwasflying October 13 2011, 02:03:01 UTC

[That's one to put it, and while Chewie's not really sure he'd have put it the same way, he agrees with the concept. He misses the Falcon. :(]

[video] excessivehubris October 13 2011, 02:46:40 UTC

[A bird? Forgive him Chewie, he knows not what he says.]

Re: [video] furwasflying October 13 2011, 04:00:09 UTC

[There's a flash of indignation at that, which is paired with the rumbled equivalent of 'of course not!' The Falcon - The Millennium Falcon is a ship, as there's a note of pride in his voice when he makes that clarification.]

[video] excessivehubris October 13 2011, 04:11:38 UTC

[The indignation made him chuckle ruefully at himself before sending a sincere apology for his gaffe.]

My apologies, I'm afraid we have nothing so grand where I come from.

Re: [video] furwasflying October 13 2011, 04:42:30 UTC

[This time, he rumbles a question, almost as if he can't imagine what else the might have had. Most worlds that he knows of are at least familiar with the concept of space travel, if not the technology involved.]

[video] excessivehubris October 13 2011, 05:36:58 UTC

[This time he does laugh, sending back a rueful image of children playing with building blocks rather than an erector set.]

I'm afraid that were I come from, we are just now considering how to get a man into space from the ground. Let alone the idea of 'traveling'.

[video] furwasflying October 14 2011, 20:08:48 UTC

[Neither the building blocks nor the erector set have much of a meaning to Chewie, but he gets the general idea. Still there's a pause before he manages to find anything to say - he's been on and off ships far too much during his life to not think of them as 'normal'.

But eventually his mechanically-minded side rears it's head, and he rumbles a question about what they're considered using to make that first jump.]

[video] excessivehubris October 15 2011, 00:33:20 UTC

Oh dear, my friend, I'm afraid I'm the wrong one to ask something like that.

[He sends the ideas of a species just now theorizing how to accomplish its goals, Kennedy's speech about the need for man to reach for the moon.

Then, in a flash, he smiles and sends the idea of Hank blue and furry, along with the modified, brilliant designed Blackbird.]
