[Oh, look who it is, it's everybody's favorite Renaissance Italian! Ezio is resting on a rooftop in Florence, from what can be seen, but he looks amused nonetheless.]

Merda. I am glad that the time on this community does not reflect my time back home. I spent nearly a week thinking I was... something else, only to find I had been gone perhaps an hour here.

Though I do not fully understand-- what is a Pokèmon?

Oh, and messere Kamina? [He grins.] You have a terrific right hook.

(a hearty laugh:) You have met K.A.M.I.N.A's fist, have you?

[novicius]

[And he returns it! Said with a bit of pride:] Sì, I have. And he has met mine as well. We sparred a little while under... I believe they call it a "virus" here, signore.

[godofabs]

No, my name is Thor.

[aburningspirit]

Your left haymaker ain't that bad either.

[novicius]

I try every now and then. Vieri has a habit of wanting my fist to meet his face quite often.

[aburningspirit]

He a friend or a jackass you know?

[ghostshippingly]

[ do her ears detect Italian she thinks they do ]

A Pokemon is a sort of animal from a popular video game, sir! I guess they mustn't have it in your world, huh?

I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but - are you Italian?

[novicius]

...A "video game?" I have never heard of it.

[But oh, that last part makes him smile quite a bit.]

Sì, piccina. Davvero. I am.

[ghostshippingly]

Oh! I guess that they mustn't have been invented yet for you, then... um, a video game is a kind of technology, where moving pictures show up on a sort of screen, and you can control the characters in the pictures using the buttons on whatever machine you're playing the game on. They're really popular in the time I come from.

Oh, I thought so! Then - da dove vieni, signore?

[mightletyouknowme]

A Pokemon is a fake animal in an anime.

[novicius]

What is "anime?"

[mightletyouknowme]

[She thinks. He's not from her time, right?]

A lot of drawings that work together to make a show. It's entertainment.

[pettedasnake]

Pokemon are video game pets you raise and train and fight.

[novicius]

Someone mentioned a "video game." I do not understand what that is.

[quicktoreward]

I'm not surprised that you two got in a fight.

[novicius]

Certo. He was asking for it.

[aburningspirit]

You started it!

[callmeimouto]

Seriously? Pokémon are like... animals. They're video games and TV shows.

[novicius]

That is what everyone tells me. But how are they animals in this... TV?

[callmeimouto]

Didn't I try and explain TVs to you before...? In any case just... [she blinks.]

I suppose I could show you.... [she's on her laptop after all.]

[soulfist]

At home? Mmm... Where are you from, dear~?

[ video ]

[novicius]

[Oh.


Oh.


Hello there, Ezio is enjoying this view.]

From Italia. Italy. I come from Florence.

[soulfist]

Such a romantic place~ It's so beautiful there. I'm sure a lot of people you've spoken with have never visited.

[grey_grief]

So that was you Papa was calling out during the virus, I suppose.

[novicius]

...Papa? Kamina has a nickname?
