Nutty times around here, huh? It's nice to see things happening, even if it's stuff like "spaceship crashing into building you call home, inevitable relocation into a room with three other people." There are worse things.

[Grump grump. She just sounds dry. It's a little overcrowded here for a girl who likes her privacy, but whatcha gonna do...]

And now a trip home. Or a try for it. What good news for everyone who doesn't want to be here, maybe - if it works they could as well just install a revolving door and kick the people who won't have with fighting in a surprise war right back home. It could make life pretty difficult for the Initiative if it works out, if nobody'll stick around from the goodness of their hearts, or whatever.

It's the first time I've seen a place manage that though. So that's something.

Anyhow, welcome in to all you new people, I hope the Hold has been kind so far. If you're homesick cheer up, it could be so much more terrible around these parts. The group missions aren't so bad. You got armed and you got money and maybe you won't even be here a long time. The future looks bright, right?

Do gods even get born?

[payback]

Do you speak Japanese?

[payback]

Ah... no, I don't, sorry. You really don't know anything about it? Don't you remember it?

[incardescent]

I've lost my memories. Before I came here, I was trying to get them back.

[payback]

I'm very sorry but I don't think I can help. Is anyone else from your world here?

[quisling]

I do, but it's been awhile since I've really spoken it.

[ What with Britannia basically destroying the Japanese culture and all that... ]

[incardescent]

Yes, one of my memories. [Seriously.]

Japanese;

[payback]

Do you understand me?

[She's speaking very politely, in a girly way. But her accent is really, really old...]

[payback]

Er. I thought you didn't remember anything?

[incardescent]

I don't. My memories are locked inside the 99 Numbers. One of those Numbers is different from the rest and he's came along with me.

[payback]

That must be helpful, then. Did he tell you a lot?

Japanese;

[quisling]

[ It really is... Could make for some difficulty in more complicated conversations.

Suzaku's Japanese also errs on the overly polite side, but it's pretty modern. ]

Yes, I do. So you're Japanese as well?

[incardescent]

No. He's actually not very helpful at all. He just laughs at me a lot.

[payback]

Oh... that's really unfortunate.

Do you know why?

[sacrificar]

I refuse.

[payback]

How come?

Japanese;

[payback]

Yeah. It sounds like you're from after me, though. [She can identify a modern accent, she's heard it enough.] What part are you from?

[talenteddog]

Occasionally, yes, although it's a rare enough event to be greeted with some measure of surprise each time it happens, at least in recent times.

Heaven tends to frown upon all things that may be considered overly... fun, if you know what I mean.

Japanese;

[quisling]

After you...?

[ As opposed to just differences between their world's Japans? ]

And right now I'm living in Tokyo, or at least... I was before I was brought here.

[sacrificar]

I will not wield my sword for those who cannot fight their own battles.

[reassures]

Maybe you're right.

[Except Nill doesn't believe that at all.]

[taijiya]

[She remembers what Sollux's world is like and sighs in agreement.]

I suppose it's just hard for us 'spoiled' ones to get used to.

[Not that her world is currently a peachy place to be in thanks to the ~Big Bad~, but it could be worse.

That thought alone is never one she had at home, though. Talk about a changing perspective.]

[fintastic]

I understand it a little. It can be jarring if you are not prepared for it, and even sometimes when you are. I think they just get off on the wrong foot is all.

[incardescent]

There are a lot of reasons. One reason is because we disagree on what I should do and he has always laughed at me. He laughs at everything. Even things I don't think are very funny.

[payback]

Ah... I think you mentioned this before, maybe.

I dunno. It would be better if they could, but if they could, we probably wouldn't be here.
