♐ fifty-seventh shot

[ Dictated in (American) English ]

It's not surprising how multiversal and multi-linguistic this place is. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that the castle just... fixes this for us or not. I sort of wonder just how much we all would've learned about each other if we had to learn to communicate with each other first.

It also makes me wonder just how accurate the standard language was... I mean, phrases can't be as universal as we imagine them to be. There had to have been some serious misunderstandings that we were never even aware of.

If anyone is still looking for translation services, I'd be glad to help. My name is Oliver Queen.

Impressive. [Elektra may not be fluent in those but, she knows enough to recognize them.]

You know I almost hope it doesn't come back. I want time to learn some of the languages I've heard over the journals.

I think we all did if this is any indication. And I'm fine. Most of the people I speak with use English or Japanese so I understand them more or less.

What about you?

I guess the castle is fond of pulling in English speaking people.

Could be. Funny, isn't it? The translator goes out for a few days and it just adds to the questions floating this place.

I should start making a list.

I don't doubt it will come up with a new, exciting loss for me if I actually do it.

It's likely to do that anyways so I might as well earn it for once.

I might take you up on that. Great mysteries aren't exactly my thing.

Of course you didn't. [Can Oliver hear the sarcasm in her voice? She's not trying to hide it.]

[Hell yeah random place.]

Perfect.

[Oh yeah so much meeting going on. But, yes she is sitting somewhere having a glass of water. When Oliver arrives he's getting a casual wave.]

Not to jinx us but, you don't think this place is going to randomly change on us, do you?

[She grins.] Don't worry I have my good luck charm. We'll be fine.
