...Hah? Where am I? [opens up a diagnostic screen and mutters to himself] It reads as an Obsolete Space, but there's no mist anywhere. ...Whaaat? Stupid shop! I just wanted that new version of Forthwright, dammit! [grumbles under his breath while closing down the screen with an angry jab] Stupid.

[stares angrily at the shop for a moment] What IS this shop, anyway?! I've never seen it before! It...sounds funny. What is that noise, anyway? [listens for a moment]

AAAAAH THIS IS STUPID. HELLO!? HEEEELLOOOOOOOOOO!?
[pauses to listen, then snorts] Tch.

Not at all. I live quite frugally.

Then...you're foreign?

I suppose you could say that.

Then where're you from?

I spent my childhood in Greece and my adolescence in Tibet. Only recently have I moved back to Greece.

............But you speak Japanese?

...You're the one speaking Greek to my ears. It's a peculiarity of this plane. I can speak some Japanese, however.

I don't speak Greek! I don't even speak a word of English! Or keigo!

As I said, it is a peculiarity of this place. You are, for all intents and purposes, speaking Japanese, but I am hearing a language that I am far more fluent in.

That's impossible.

So are many things that occur here.

Like being full of crazy people?

That's hardly an impossibility.

Yeah, obviously. You're telling me we speak different languages and Fumie's talking about Godzilla.

And neither of us are lying.

Yeah, right. Fumie's probably got some trap planned for you.

I dunno about you though.

I find that quite unlikely. Fumie is a good girl.

It is against my nature to lie.

When she feels like it.

[looks uncomfortable and shifts posture a bit] ...That's why I said I dunno.

If you're unsure of me, then I'd like you to realize that many people here don't know what Japan is.

What, didn't they go to school? How can somebody not know Japan?

[tiny smile] Several of them are not from the earth you know.

What, aliens? With bug eyes and blue skin? Pffft. Get real! That kinda stuff only happens in anime.

And how would you react if I said that I was not human either?

But that's not possible! You look like one!

So do the people who are not of Earth.
