[There's a brief tightness in his jaw at pick your poison before it's smoothed away with a smile.]

I have no idea what pop is, let's go with that!

[It'll be an adventure.]

[pundemic]

Some people call it 'soda'.

[And the last time she tried it (first time since her and some friends opened an old can on a dare) she got bubbles up her nose, so that was awesome. But she likes the taste just fine, and so she gets two cans out of the fridge and plops one down in front of him.

The little twitch when she mentioned poison goes completely over her head. Sorry, pal.]

It's fizzy and made of sugar. Don't drink it too fast, either. Learned that one the hard way.

[spellslots]

[That's probably for the best.]

Don't know that one either, but I appreciate the warning.

[His tone is light, but the words are genuine, he doesn't need bubbles up his nose, it'd ruin his image of being awesome.

So he pops open the tab on the can, lifting it up to inspect the tiny bubbles escaping, before he takes a small sip.]

Huh. You weren't wrong about the sugar, were you, this stuff tastes like syrup.

[pundemic]

[What's syrup? No idea. She shrugs and sits back down with her can of ginger-ale, the only thing she's found that has struck a nice balance between flavour sensations.]

Turns out people used to drink this stuff all the time on Earth.

[spellslots]

What is with this place and Earth? You'd think it's the only plane they'd ever heard of.

[He's not particularly bothered by it, really, he just thinks it's a bit weird.]

[pundemic]

Oh.

[Uh. Awkward sip of her drink.]

Well-- I'm from Earth. But it does seem to be pretty common, yeah.

[spellslots]

[He'd figured that, but it's still weird.]

You guys are real popular. [Really, it's good that there's no one he knows here, but he can't help wishing there was at least someone slightly familiar with how shit works.] Makes you wonder, if I wasn't too damn lazy to figure this shit out.

[@ magnus and merle just come rescue him so he doesn't have to spend however long ~contributing~ so he can go home.]

[pundemic]

So what's your planet called?

[He might be too lazy, but she isn't. And she's curious.

Also: hungry. At least judging by the way she takes another cookie.]

[spellslots]

Oh, that'd be Toril. I've never been beyond Faerûn, unless you wanna count the ethereal and astral plane.

[Most people don't.]

[pundemic]

[What are all these bullshit names tho. She's hooked, tell her more. Hearing about a place that's not Earth, in a time that's not hers, is completely intoxicating.]

And... they've got elves and wizards there. Obviously you recognize humans. Anything else? Giants? I dunno... those half horse guys?

[spellslots]

We got giants and centaurs, though you don't really wanna meet either of those guys, gotta say.

[Centaurs and elves can get along, but they're not fans of humans. And giants are just always jerks.]

If humans are the only ones you know, there's also dwarves, halflings, orcs, dragonborn, gnomes, tieflings, uh, some other shit. A lotta races will mix with each other too, so you end up with half-whatevers.

[pundemic]

[Hilarious factoid: Ellie is a big fan of gnomes, and is creeped out by fairies. That's just how she rolls, so her face actually lights up at their mention.]

Gnomes, seriously? What're they like?

[She pushes the plate of cookies towards him as if the bribe will keep him talking.]

[spellslots]

[This is the kinda bribery he can get behind.]

I mean, they're gnomes? [He's not sure if she means like - what are the physical difference or what are they like as people.] Most of 'em are alright, some of 'em are assholes, same as humans or elves or dwarves or what-have-you.

[pundemic]

[She groans aloud and thunks her head down against her countertop.]

How are you not fucking kidding me right now.

[She sounds completely incredulous, but also: she saw this dude turn into an elephant so obviously she does believe him. It's just so fucking weird.]

This is the coolest shit. Do you guys have like... royalty? That whole thing?

[spellslots]

I mean, yeah? In some places.

[Taako doesn't have a whole lot of respect for authority, so he doesn't pay much attention to who exactly is in charge of whatever country or city he rolls into.]

There's not like a King of Fearun or anything, but uh, Neverwinter's got Lords and shit. And a King? Maybe?
