Nobuanga closes his eyes and... avoids nodding. Still too hung-over. "Remnants. I see."
As for the Captain's tastes. It's definitely Western. "This ship is Western. I've designed warships. I've taken in blueprints from Korean dragon turtle ships, Chinese Ming junks--" That gets a long pause the second he says the word. What the fuck is a junk? It sounds like trash. How the hell did it get there from, "Jonq." Oh English. What a language you are. "They are not refuse." Eyes narrow. "They may carry --" red eyes flicker, "Junk, yes, but they're juggernauts. Huge." A beat. "Okay, not as big as the Eterna." So fair play England. "Point is, this more closely resembles Spanish treasure galleons than even the Portuguese caravels, and Eastern is... far down on its influence list." Nobunaga pinched the bridge between his eyes. "But perhaps that has to do with how history shapes the future." That's a really tough pill for him to swallow. Japan survived though, but America seemed so over-represented on the ship, even in space travel -- well they were first after all, that it's hard for him to truly get the puzzles placed correctly when he has to guess at what each puzzle outline is, and through continual trial and error.
"I should really see about borrowing those history books from Cesar Salazar." He can't remember which name was supposed to come first or last anymore, so fuck it, both.
"Sushi and karaoke are Japanese," from the ship, "Tommy Bahamas is Western, Billy Joel is American." Random thought; "I wonder if Japan starts using chairs in the future." Fucking chairs man, you have no idea. Why are chairs? Literally why. How did they become so normalized? Why are they on a ship? Well, okay, it's not like they had to worry about waves or rocking about too much or sliding. But still! "Even the futons are absent. It would conserve on space, maximum efficiency, which the captain seems to prefer, but raised furniture is Western tradition so there's beds and--" Shit, what was that other piece of furniture called? Nobunaga rolls his hand slowly in a circle. "That... other one. The cushioned elongated chair." Another eye pinch. "Like logs to sit on." He means the couch or sofa. "It folds out." If he could figure out how to make the folding out device even springier, like a trap... He's distracting himself again.
"Though it's possibly he didn't design the ship at all, it just got salvaged." In which case there was another question of did more Americans survive and Western things in general, because presumably: more wormholes affected Americans in this direction to be taken from? And why?
