Hey dude. It's Dirk. I know I told you about the mirror thing and I hope it's helping.
I did come up with a design for a robot that might help more though. If you're interested, I could make you a small companion that can help guide you through a conversation with actual responses and facial cues.
It removes the embarrassment of practicing with a real person while giving programmed responses. I'm bored as fuck so you'd be helping a bro out here. Let me know if you're interested.

[ All of this sounds really good since lbr he probably has not talked into that mirror once since he got it and he's not going to admit to that right now. Because he feels bad. Since Dirk has been trying to help him so much and he's just a stubborn asshole.
BUT RATHER THAN SAY ALL THAT... ]
Robot?

[ Being constantly surrounded by palebloods is making it very difficult for him to just go with his kneejerk "I'm fine" and he's NOT DIGGING IT. ]
It would be easier if I felt like I was my usual self, but there are these small inconsistencies that are quickly getting under my skin. Someone mentioned it could have something to do with the impacts this place has on our blood types, but that hasn't made it less frustrating to deal with.

[The... camera is focused on the ground. Icy ground. And clawed feet. While bat-like wings flap around, slapping at the device. Someone is speaking - but, tragically, they're speaking Dovahzuul.]
Ahraan! Faaz! Hi kos fahdon! Fahdon siiv Dovahkiin. Wahl haas oki!
[Oh, okay, it's Melius' omen. Chattering like a dragon's version of a parrot. She even pokes her muzzle on screen, repeating herself. How she's doing that without lips, we just don't know.]

[ Right. This is the fallout of being more sociable because of blood magic throughout a month. People actually want to talk with him and meet with him again.
At least training is something he likes. Much more than the whole talk about his feelings thing. ]
I'm fine. [ Ish. ] My schedule isn't particularly packed. When are you available?

[ What... the fuck is this... Sasuke's trying to figure out if that's anywhere near a language he recognizes, and not even his Rinnegan seems to be helping to decipher any of this.
His hawk is nipping at the screen for a second, though, and the username helps him put a few things together. ]
... Melius? [ Shit, what was his omen's name again? He's got nothing. Whatever. ] I don't understand what you're saying, Omen.

[not only that, she considers them friends! the horror! the terror! of having befriended probably the kindest but most determined being from her own galaxy!]
I'm glad to hear that. I know a lot of people were having trouble, shedding their skin like snakes! And I'm available in the morning after 7:00 am. I'm already up at 5:00, but that's for ballet. That's enough to get the blood going and ready.

[ This is his worst nightmare. This is what he gets for asking about communication, it brings all the friendly people to the yard. ]
Mm. I... heard. [ Aka he absolutely turned into a completely different person for a hot second and he would never like to think about it again. ] I'm usually down at the farther shores by then. I find the warmth of the sand to be helpful in this weather. You can join me when you're free, if you wish.

[whoo~~, sucks to be him! she's not letting him get away so easily! :D]
Indeed. And I do wish. I have backgrounds in jujitsu, krav maga, and lerdit, if it helps? The first is mostly about disabling an opponent, the latter two about killing them as quickly as possible.
So, how are you liking life here so far?

Given that they likely have different names in my world, we'll start off with a basic sparring session to get an idea of both of our fighting styles. We can expand from there after.
[ uuuuUUUUUGH. He's quiet for a good long moment, debating just saying everything was exactly as he expected and ending the conversation here. But he had asked for communication help for a reason.
You need this to not go crazy as fuck, Sasuke. Remember that. He sighs. ]
... I don't. This place altered who I was last month and now everyone thinks I care about their thoughts.

All right, that works just fine for me.
[the differences in worlds change a lot. so do differences in time. she misses the 31st century all over again, her husband and son all over again.
though she hasn't been sent home, not yet, she plans to make her mark on this one as much as possible.
also, crazy as fuck? bad idea. two enthusiastic thumbs down]
I see. Well, it's probably not going to be the last time this place messes with you. But trust me, it could be a Void of a lot worse than being extra-friendly. For starters, nobody got hurt.

[ Supposedly staying close to people will keep him from doing just that, but he's still skeptical. Mostly because he just doesn't want it to be true.
He snorts, though it sounds a little more bitter than amused. ]
I'm aware. But it gave them a false impression that I had no interest in giving. I've little interest in making friends.

[she saw the behavior of the Lost Legionnaires, including her own husband. she knows for a fact that having an extensive support network helps.
bitter. she can work with that]
Mmm. So you're going to be having a lot of these conversations in the future. Not easy. You're probably going to have to come up with a form answer for people who aren't me.

[The omen clacks her jaws in irritation.]
Mey mun...
[And then, louder, because you know, talking louder always helps.]
Dovahkiin! Dovahkiin! Ahraan! Aak!
[Then she snarls, and scuttles off-screen. Only returning with a leaf in her jaws. A bloody leaf.]
Ahraan!

[she makes a show of considering it, tapping her finger against her lips while one of her kittens makes a go for it]
Shush, not now, Polly. [she gives the kitten a kiss and places her back at her feet who promptly rolls over on her back, kicking at her foot] And while I'm sure it could, it's in the nature of these places to be as as annoying and contrary as possible. You say you don't want your omni and toss it into the sea, you'll get fifteen in its place. It's like they're tailor-made to annoy us however possible.
