Everyone, please be careful of the dangers of mistletoe. First, as it turns out, I've heard it's inedible. Even plants are inedible sometimes. Second, it is a trap. If you didn't know, mistletoe means "I will kiss you now" in I think some European language. So whenever two people stand under it, they kiss.

It's a shame Neechan isn't here.Women,

I think the tradition has something to do with Norse mythology...

oh man, i lol'd.

We're years away from being able to go as far as Mars, especially in the span of... however long it took us to get here.

Just because Mars exists doesn't mean we're on it!

logic = airtight

[shockinglycool]

But we're in the future, remember?

[superblynatural]

That would be a fair assumption, if this were Earth. But if it's not, their technology could just be more advanced. Perhaps it's really the present.

[shockinglycool]

It's Earth. Or some version of Earth. I mean, we're not on Earth at all, but the church here is Christian religion, the signs and books are written in English and Greek - mostly - the building style and types of food and labels on cans, all that is done in stuff that might be foreign, but not foreign like aliens.

So if this isn't Earth, it's gotta be a place Earth had a part in influencing. I don't know about whatever type of science figures out this stuff, but the odds of two places just kinda developing in the exact same way - even on Earth, just one planet, y'know, there are a couple hundred different languages and cultures and religions and branches of religions.

idk how she can argue with such incontestable proof. its obv mars.

[superblynatural]

If that's so, it might not just be a different planet. I mean, if we're going to consider the really strange, then it could be a different - parallel - universe. Not that I really believe in that sort of thing.

[shockinglycool]

What year is it to you?

[superblynatural]

2008, back in Japan. You're from Earth too, then?

[shockinglycool]

Back home, I'm living in Tokyo. It's July of 1999. So just now, we've proved time-travel, haven't we?

Speaking of Tokyo, is it an intact city? Nine years ago for you, were there a series of earthquakes that [...] tore it up, kinda ruined it? Destroyed it?

1/2

[superblynatural]

Then maybe we're still on Earth, just in the future. We could probably find out if we left the city.

2/3 I LIED

[superblynatural]

Earthquakes? No, I don't -

[superblynatural]

Destroyed? Tokyo's perfectly intact! It's never been destroyed!

[shockinglycool]

...

...So we just also proved that parallel worlds exist, too, huh?

This is just not possible!

INSERT CONSIDERABLE PAUSE HERE (i think haruhi's brain just threw up.)

[superblynatural]

I guess, then... if that's really true... it's a question of if both sides were involved.

And if we're on either world.
