A curse eh?
Or tell me, do some of you normally all spend the day ranting nonsense like utter cretins?

Of course this boy is an alien: Not only is he from a foreign country, he's from a foreign country in another world.

Thank heaven for sane, reasonable company.

By that logic, we're all aliens. Conspiracy theorists will be delighted.

We are indeed all aliens. To each other. As to the rest, I understand all the separate words in your second sentence, young man, but alas the meaning of them all together escapes me.

There are individuals in some worlds who are determined to believe that unexplained events are the result of conspiracies hidden from public view. It's a popular theme amongst such theorists to claim that aliens from other planets are somehow involved. In fact, they mistook my partner for one not so long ago back home.

From other planets.

Were it for the fact I am currently where I am, doing what I am currently doing, I should call that a patently proposterous idea. Thank you for the information, young man.

You wouldn't be the first. I'd have been tempted to join you in the presumption if aliens weren't included in the City experience.

You're welcome, Mister ... ?

Please don't provide common sense, Commander.

It might prove lethal to particular factions.

When you consider, we are all aliens here. This is a place peopled entirely of people from other worlds, after all. So... I suppose, none of us are aliens.

By the way, that isn't quite the usage of 'alien' that most of these people meant.

Yes, I've had it explained to me by a young man further up this entry. Aliens that sail across the luminiferous ether between the stars. How curious.

Originally, madam? England. And when I left the year was approximately 1752. I think.

Quite a long time ago, then. By the standards of when I left. And, I suppose I would be quite alien to you.

You seem reasonable enough. In fairness, I've found many a foreigner rather more sensible than some of my own countrymen.

Hn. I can't say I've done the same very often.

I've been rather remiss in my manners. I apologize. Please call me BT.

Alas, madam, no. One could hardly expect sense from this place.

Yes, it is quite true. There are times when I long for the sense of my home world.
