( Hello, Mayfield. Today, if you’re lucky-or unlucky, depending upon your point of view-you may see this fellow on one or more occasions. Blissfully ignorant of the fact that he’s been droned for several months, he is in the stage of Mayfield awareness he will soon refer to as the “where the heck am I?” level.

American pizza is awful, why are you even attempting to order such a thing?

[taegeuk]

I always have it when I come to America!

[tomatatas]

...Then again all American food is horrible. [Rambleramble not paying attention to you Korea...]

[taegeuk]

Well, it's definitely not as good as my food, but it's pretty fun!

[tomatatas]

He takes other people's foods and destroys them.

[taegeuk]

His milk tea is pretty good, sometimes!

...so where're you from, then?

[tomatatas]

I wouldn't know about that...

Italy. Rome usually. You?

[taegeuk]

I'm the Republic of Korea, da ze!

[tomatatas]

Korea? I... You're a boy aren't you?

[At this point she'd even welcome the Korea from her universe...]

[taegeuk]

Of course! I've always been a boy!

( y'know, except in those preliminary sketches... )

[tomatatas]

I knew it.

You're female in my world. That means you belong to theirs.

(Ahh, so cute...)

[taegeuk]

...I'm a girl?

( what what what )

Wait, so you're from some other world or something?

[tomatatas]

Si, you're a girl. And si, I'm from another world to yours, like...

[Pauses, thinking how to phrase it]

Like a mirrored one? People who are boys to you are girls to me...

[taegeuk]

Woah, woah! So in that world, everyone's a girl, except like Noona and Wan and Hungary and stuff? So Aniki and Hyung-nim are really girls, too?

[tomatatas]

If you mean Vietnam and Taiwan, then si. I guess everyone that's a girl in yours would be a boy to me.

[taegeuk]

Oh, oh, I get it.

Well, that's pretty weird!
