On this fair warm September afternoon, Captain Jack Sparrow can be found walking very slowly through town with a bunch of colorful floating balloons in his hand and a thick sheaf of papers under his arm.

Jack has set himself

[Nagisa's just walking around town when she notices Jack. ..Or rather, when she notices the balloons. Why does that pirate man have so many balloons? ...They're kind of hard to ignore. So bright and colorful and all.]

Been there, aye; I've sailed my stints in the Far East, though it's not my home waters.

...

Seems like there's a lot of folks from Japan, here....

[repeatsyearly]

Oh really? I hope you enjoyed your stay there! Where are your home waters--err, where are you from?

I noticed. But it seems like everyone is from different Japans. It's kind of weird.

[lists_to_port]

Why on earth would they ever need more than just the one, eh? I suppose my Japan was different than your own.

[repeatsyearly]

Hmm... I'm not sure. I think you could say the same thing about why there are different worlds in general though, couldn't you?

I've never heard of any pirates coming to Japan, so maybe it was a different one!

[lists_to_port]

Never heard of any.....

Surely you've heard of Mistress Ching? She commanded the pirate territories of the east!

[repeatsyearly]

Misstress Ching? ..Umm... I don't think I have, sorry. I haven't really heard of any pirate-related things in general, actually.

......You've led a short, sad life, haven't you.

[repeatsyearly]

...E-eh?! W-what do you mean? U-umm.. W-who is she?

[lists_to_port]

She, darling, was the Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean. A venerable woman what would cut your head off soon as look at your face. Deadly.

...A-ahhh, she sounds kind of scary...

[Maybe more so than those things!]

[lists_to_port]

Mistress Ching, scary? I suppose. She were rather kind to me when I was a little lad, but you wouldn't want to cross her. That would be the truth. A vicious marauder at bottom. Are there no hardened criminals in your Japan?

[repeatsyearly]

Ohh... I see!

Um, well, I can't think of anyone in particular, but I'm sure that there are. At least some of those kinds of people exist everywhere, don't they?

[lists_to_port]

You come from a very bland version of Japan, don't you.

[repeatsyearly]

A-ahh, I guess so... I don't seem to have the exciting things that the other Japans or worlds have. But even so, I still love where I come from very much.

Do you like your home, Jack?

[lists_to_port]

My home HERE, or my home...home?

[Because both are slightly up in the air as far as how much he likes them at any given moment.]
