A Guide to Eorzean
[ Syhr'd been fortunate enough to Echo the information correctly enough to infer, she believes. So she's going to do this for others there. ]
Eorzea is my world. So I figured I'd give a quick guide so you lot can understand what's being said.
Ilm seems to translate to inch.
Fulm would be foot.
Yalm is yard.
Malm is mile.
We use bells, not hours.
Our year is about three hundred eight-four suns.
Suns are days.
Moons are months.
An epoch is a measurement of twelve years, as opposed to a decade.
We say nameday instead of birthday.
Onze instead of ounce.
Ponze instead of pound.
Tonze instead of ton.
I can answer any questions you have, if you have them.

Really? What year are you from again?
no subject
[Because, yes, that year puts him firmly in World War Two, where, yes, his country is at war with Japan. He's had that conversation before.]

[ Basically: to hell with time periods; Walter has not presented as anything other than a genuinely nice guy. In his own way. ]
no subject
[He does, really. Not having a close coworker suddenly worked up over that information is really good.
Granted, if Kaito ever called him a "nice guy", Walter would probably immediately check him for signs of fever or overexposure to the sun.
And then possibly for signs of possession. Just in case.Primarily for the sake of teasing, naturally.]

[ He is possibly too trusting for his own good but... Trust before suspicion. That's his belief. ]

I can only imagine the look on the faces of my co-workers back home when they find out. They'll probably think I've finally gone completely mad.

[On the upside, he's made actual friends here in this world. So the world that a lot of people seem vexed by... isn't so bad to him. It's a fixer-upper with a couple of assholes that need to be removed from the equation if at all possible, but it's not totally unsalvageable.]
no subject
Do you consider anyone here a friend? Doesn't have to be me.
no subject
[Hence why he made the quip about his co-workers thinking he'd gone insane if they found out. Not one, but multiple friends? The very idea would have seemed ludicrous to even him a year ago.]
It's [There's another pause.] different.
no subject
no subject
Maybe it was one of those normal people things.]
Just different. I don't know a way of explaining it that doesn't involve me going into the details of my background.
no subject
As long as it's not a bad different, that's the main thing.

Now that we've settled that, we should all have a house party sometime. ^^ As your friends.

I suppose doing something lively will help improve morale.
