How many of you got demons back home? Or met 'em here? Tell me about 'em.

[mythmaker]

Oh, is there a Japan in your world, Melaka-san?

[makeitquick]

[Uh...] It's poss.

[mythmaker]

What do you mean when you say "poss," Melaka-san?

[makeitquick]

Poss... You know, like it could be? [A beat] Sorta sounds famil, but I can't say where from.

[mythmaker]

Oh! I understand now, I must just be a little behind on the slang. [As for Japan maybe existing, she's not going to press on that, it's a little depressing.]

[makeitquick]

I'm prop from a different cen, it's fine.

[mythmaker]

[She doesn't understand...or rather, she doesn't want to assume things.]

My, my, I see. That would certainly explain things.

[Vague answer fits in context!]

[makeitquick]

Yeah. It's made things a little confusing for people. Guess I prob sound like a needs.

[mythmaker]

I'm sorry, but...what's a needs?

[If only she could look at the slang guide.]

[makeitquick]

Needs? You know like... someone with mental diffs?

[mythmaker]

My, my...I think I get it now.

[makeitquick]

Yeah. Sorry 'bout that.

[mythmaker]

It's fine, Melaka-san! You haven't done anything wrong, I'm just behind the times, it seems.

[makeitquick]

Think it's more I'm ahead.

[mythmaker]

My, my, if you're ahead of the times, does that mean you're the one who invents slang?

[makeitquick]

No I mean... Earth. 2232 here. Further than most people I've met.

[mythmaker]

Oh, you're from my future? My, my...do the cars fly?

[She's taking this rather well.]

[makeitquick]

Actually, yeah.

[mythmaker]

That does sound like fun. I'd love to drive in one of those.

[She'd end up even -more- lost.]

[makeitquick]

They are pretty fast.

[mythmaker]

My, my, listen to me, though! I've been talking about silly things, haven't I? That's not news at all for you.

[makeitquick]

It's fine. Yeah, nothin' new, but I don't mind.

[mythmaker]

Well...if you'd like to learn a little more about demons where I come from, maybe we should meet for coffee instead. It's been a long time since I've seen you.

[makeitquick]

[...] Asking me out?

[it's a joke]

[mythmaker]

[Do you hear the sound of the joke going over her head.]

Yes! Exactly! We can go out for a beer, too, if you'd rather do that.
