[ As it happens, the boy's voice could be a little quieter, a little more distant - possibly, if he'd ridden in with a horde of the undead. ]

How do you... resign?

[ Slight pause. ]

When I tried to, they weren't the right words. Right sounding. Right on paper. Right to think abou - ...right. Sorry. That's impolite to ask all of a sudden, without a proper greeting. My bad.

[ A hint louder, more rehearsed - ]

Good day. Pleased to meet you. How do you do.

[ And now back to the pathetic old track. ]

If it's all the same to you: how do you resign from something like this?

Imagine having to type it! That is a challenge. My fingers get all skittish just from a few minutes of texting so you really have to admire the people who come from worlds where that sort of thing is just - normal. All the time.

[extradite]

Computer typing? You've never... before...at length? Really?

[glistens]

And you're... from a texting world.

Well - I have a few months worth of practice now! [ icon keywords ] I even know emoticons! Like the Xcellent Dinosaur face?

[ SHINJI NO!!!!

WHAT CAN OF WORMS HAS SHE OPENED be true to yourself she said ]

This one. [ quick switch like a pro ]

XD XD ha haha CD XD

See? X and D. Xcellent Dinosaur. To help you remember. [ Only now she's a bit embarrassed because she was hoping it would make sense universally. ]

...But the flower one you made was pretty. Are those faces you usually use?

> all audio once more : (

[extradite]

Ahhhh... no. I don't really use my cell phone.

It's something girls are likelier to use.

[glistens]

That's interesting. This is the first I've heard of it being more popular with girls... [ In her opinion, her boyfriends gossip more than the women she knows. ] What time do you come from? Can— Is it okay to ask that?

[extradite]

How would I know which time you come from, to compare?

[glistens]

Asking back? I know I'm from an Earth, but I don't know which one so - that's as specific as I can get with the where unless you've heard of a country called Corona.

But basically everything I've gathered puts me at somewhere around 1785 AD give or take a few years. I hope you're from Earth too or that won't make any sense.

[extradite]

Corona...

[ his brain will go BOOM from all this thinking, but - ]

If it was around, I don't think it survived Second Impact. Sorry.

[corona]

[ He's from one of those worlds then. Suddenly it all - ...most of it makes sense. ]

Mm. You don't need to apologize remember? Asgard feels more like my country than Corona was anyway.

[extradite]

It's not a country. It's a city. A city isn't a country. A country isn't a city.

[glistens]

Exactly. Which should tell you something.

Besides, there is such thing as a soverign city-state.

[extradite]

Wouldn't a sovereign state have a train line?

[corona]

Not... necessarily. What makes you say that?

[extradite]

Most big cities do. A train line. Cars. Working phones.

[corona]

Maybe in your world, Shinji. Those rules don't really apply here anymore. I know to start that there are Earth atlases at the library with pictures of cities in the continent called "Europe" without trains or cars.

[ all the silence. all of it. quantified and neatly store and ikari shinji's precioussssssssssss. ]

I'd never seen so many horses together before.

[glistens]

You got hit. Didn't you.

[extradite]

No... no, no, no. They pulled me away before any of that.

[glistens]

They?

[extradite]

A few ladies. It doesn't matter. The horses are fine.
