[This man has an accent too, German, but it's nowhere nearly as thick as Niko's Serbian one is. He could speak German and let the translator take care of it, but so far he's met enough "standard" speakers that he can handle himself.]
Hallo, I'm Dr. Visscher [pronounced "Fisher"] and I'm new. I am the sort of new where I have no idea where anything is yet and I keep getting turned around. So if anyone could help me to the clinic when they have a chance I would greatly appreciate it.
Speaking of which, I'm a general practitioner. I'll be working for the resort and town. I am a human, but I've never been to Earth. Any Earth, of any sort. I know there are a few of them out there.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Wander. There is one in my universe, yes, but for some reason or another I never got around to it.
I take it that's not where you come from? [Visscher's sounding interested already.]
no subject
Y'see, I'm a traveler, an' goin' from planet to planet is our thing. I've been hearin' about Earth a lot from the other folks, but Bertie told me about planets called...Antarctica and Sweden, and I never even heard of them before!
no subject
But still, that's interesting. I usually stay for a little while, but I get around quite a bit myself. You'll have to tell me about some of the places you've been. [He gets really nervous after he's been somewhere for too long.]
no subject
Wait...Sweden and Antarctica are on the same planet? But Bertie said that these aliens called Swedes lived in Sweden and they have their own king, so why are they so separate from everyone else? And ain't Antarctica a real dangerous place that takes a while to travel to?
How big is Earth, anyway?
[He gasps with excitement at Utrecht's request.]
Wow, I could tell ya so much about where we been! Like, a lotta times we're on planets that are jus' filled with nature, like this one where it could start snowin' soon after a warm spell, or this one that has all these glass formations growin' on it. And once we even found a planet that could talk back! She...um, got a little scary, but everythin' turned out okay in the end.
But mostly we're visiting towns and enjoyin' the sights, spendin' time with the people, and helpin' them out.
no subject
It's a big planet.
The whole planet talked back? [That's the one holding him first. He'll probably have questions about the other. He thinks that's a pretty good way to live, though, just travelling and helping people out. It's the way he prefers to deal with problems.]
no subject
[What is this, an abnormally large planet with planets inside it? Earth sounded like an interesting place to visit.]
So how big are we talkin'?
Yeah, it actually talked back to me! Janet, that's what she named herself, was a lonely little planet all empty and by herself when we found her, but she's real nice and can make trees and mountains and flowers wherever she wants! But now she has a moon, so she ain't lonely anymore.[Janet was one of his favorite places: to him, the beautiful scenery and a new friend to talk to more than made up for the terrifying moments.]
no subject
Very large. With oceans, and mountain ranges.
Countries are also a large area of land where people that... I suppose they are supposed to work together... live. Many towns, many people. All the land around it. And they have people in charge to help make decisions that everyone is supposed to respect. Some people are in charge because they were the strongest or smartest and made people listen to them. Some people are in charge because more people than not agreed they should be.
That sounds very good for Janet. [Though he's a little astounded at a sentient planet that just decided to make trees and mountains and flowers for herself. That's something he'd like to see. And at this point he's seen enough strangeness himself he actually doesn't doubt the possibility that this actually happened.]
no subject
That's one awfully big planet. Guess Earth humans don't have to go out to space to do their travelin'.
Where I'm from, a planet is basically what your "country" is. There's towns on some of 'em, and people live there and sometimes the ruler does, or they can live on another planet not too far from there. Some of the bigger ones we visited had everythin' on one planet and some used one particular planet for one important building.
Yup! I'm glad that Janet's happy now. She was feelin' down that no one ever visited her because she was just a barren place, but with a little bit of cheerin' up, she felt better and started creatin' things.
It sure surprised me when she started talkin'. No other planet can listen to you and change what they look like so fast. Maybe Janet was just born and needed to figure out what she looked like. Who knows? At least she's growing trees and flowers and nothin' dangerous anymore.
no subject
[He would ask about gravity, but the talking planet is strange enough and he's not sure that Wander would actually know how everything worked there, technically. Though he's vaguely aware that different universes come from different sorts of laws and this one... adjusts... a little bit.]
Sometimes lonely people take a while to learn how to act around others. Planets included.
no subject
Ain't that the truth! It's hard actin' nice when you don't have many friends, and everyone makes mistakes. Janet apologized for tryin' to hurt us when she realized what she was doin' was wrong, so that doesn't mean she's a bad person! Or planet, in this case. And really, everyone isn't a bad person, even if they're good at hidin' their good side or it's just buried real deep down.
[A philosophy he lives by, even if it does put his life in danger from time to time.]
Wait, didja say there were a lotta humans? So they moved to other planets?
no subject
That's generally what I think of people. On the whole I've met more good than bad, ranging from some that are lucky to some that have fallen on difficult times.
[It may put Visscher's life in danger occasionally as well, but he's gotten very good at shying away from fights.]
There still are but yes, many moved to different planets to form colonies.
no subject
So once we find a way to travel to your universe, we'll surely find some planet with humans on it. It'll be fun seein' what one of your places look like!
no subject
[Which he is not.]
