Dialogue

L

"What a pleasing coincidence to see you here, Cross. Or perhaps it is destiny?"

"After enjoying some idle chitchat with 伯父, we were attempting to play a little word game that he taught to us."

"It is a game played by many Earth cultures called shiritori, word chain, and antakshari–among 其它 names."

"The rules are simple: choose a word that begins with the final sound of the previous word. Yet our attempts to play have all ended in failure."

Cross

Choice A – Play: Play with L to help him improve his skills.

L

"We are most grateful."

"Then if we may be so bold, would you choose a word with which to start the game?"

Cross

Choice B – Decline: Explain to L that you're not familiar with the game.

L

"But...we've been told anyone can play it! And yet, we cannot! And until we learn, how will we ever be accepted by the 人类 in this city?"

"The 码农 and 诺彭 struggle with this as well. It is an issue that could divide us at a time when unity is sore and needed."

"We trust you share our desire to see the various residents of New LA live together in peace?"

"Then we insist you play a game with us. You need only speak a single word."

Cross

Choice A – Say "Game": Begin with the word "game."

L

"Quite fine. 伯父 had mentioned that a straightforward word is the typical opening."

"Then we must say a word that begins with an "mmm" sound. Like...mimeosome!"

Cross

Choice B – Say "BLADE": Begin with the word "BLADE." (+ ♥)

L

"An 有趣 gambit. Then we must respond with a word that begins with a "d" sound."

"How about...district?"

Cross

Choice C – Say "Whale": Begin with the word "whale."

L

"So we need a word that begins with an "l" sound..."

"How about "Lifehold"?"

L

"It's strange how we don't seem to have any problem playing this game with you, but were so unsuccessful when playing with 其它."

Cross

Choice A – Theorize: Suggest the 其它 players didn't understand the rules. (+heart)

L

"We do not believe that was the issue. The 码农 and 诺彭 with whom we played were quite confident that they understood the rules completely."

"Oh! Of course!"

"How could we have missed it? The answer is oblivious (sic)!"

"Each of the players in the game was speaking an entirely different language!"

"We were speaking English, the 诺彭 was speaking 诺彭, and the 码农 was speaking 码农."

"Somehow we were able to communicate, but of course the sounds that formed our words would have differed from language to language."

"How could we have failed to notice that?"

"So we must attain a sufficient level of fluency in the 码农 language to play word games properly..."

"It's settling (sic) then. It you'll excuse us, we have a great deal of studying to do."

(END)

Cross

Choice B – Observe: Say that all players need to speak the same language. (+ ♥)

L

"Oh!"

"But of course, you're exactly right! How could we not have realized that?"

"Each of the players in the game was speaking an entirely different language!"

"We were speaking English, the 诺彭 was speaking 诺彭, and the 码农 was speaking 码农."

"Somehow we were able to communicate, but of course the sounds that formed our words would have differed from language to language."

"We are so glad we came to you with this problem. Your powers of perspiration (sic) are second and (sic) none!"

"So we must attain a sufficient level of fluency in the 码农 language to play word games properly..."

"It's settled then. If you'll excuse us, we have a great deal of studying to do!"

(END)
