Upon arrival

Fellow watchers, I return again, the compiler is back with more prose to satisfy your interstellar needs. This time, our submission comes from the reception party on Urras.
It has been 5 days since the tall and thin man who just appeared before me left his home world to come to ours, beautiful Urras. The man who stepped off of the micro transport looked like he had his very own piece of hell strapped somewhere to him on his unrealistically tall frame. We only saw him for a minute, maybe two as he stumbled through the unfamiliar gravity down the ship’s ramp and into the limousine. He breaks every rule of sensible fashion that can be seen from a distance. His hair is longer than any woman’s I have ever seen. The suit he wore obviously belongs to a pioneer from home world Earth, and even that pioneer would have disposed of it years past. The man I see before me is an anomaly of social class; he comes from a planet so different that they cannot even clash. We have heard they will not take him back, but all I can wonder is if we can even coerce ourselves enough to take him in the first place
Can you believe this?
