In Times Square

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 5964

Ignoring the hooker, Fred and Astra look around them, gawping at all the odd and enormous buildings (by their standards), and at the strange machines that carry people along the streets at a frightening pace (the traffic is for once flowing comparatively freely).

Whilst Fred and Astra gaze in wonder at their surroundings, by contrast the locals mostly ignore them. In New York one frequently saw far stranger sights than a man and a woman, one dressed as a medieval warrior and the other in a tattered gown, and both dripping wet. (Only minutes ago, they had been swimming across a lake. [4419])

"Where do you think we are?" Fred asks Astra. "Either this is a spell- induced illusion or it is somewhere exceedingly strange - but I have no idea where."

Stopping a passer-by, they ask him where they are.

  1. In the interest of realism, the language has changed too much over 500 years or more for the two sides to understand one another.
  2. In the interest of the plot, passing through the portal has somehow enabled Fred and Astra to speak and understand modern English (even as spoken by New Yorkers!).
