A pirate's tactic

This is more directed to those, who like me have been dragged to this world, though I won't fault a native for listening in.

I am curious as to what we might have in common: world names, languages, culture, technology - and what is different.

This isn't just idle curiosity or a means of trying to find some comfort of familiarity in such a strange land, but I suspect if there is enough of a commonality in one area or another, we could in someway use it to our advantage against the Empire.

This is the second world I've been to. My homeworld is a lot more technologically advanced than this one but with no magic to speak of; the other world I've been to is about the same as here, maybe a little less advanced than the Empire in tech but with strong magic.

I know... two languages from my world well enough for conversation, picked up bits of three others - one for ritual, one from my hobbies, one from living next to a lot of speakers.

{My first language we call English.} {I also speak decent Korean, thanks Dad.}

And I believe mine is much more advanced than yours in technological terms. I speak Japanese and German primarily.

[Korean - he recognizes that one, but he doesn't speak it at all, and he reads more than speak when it comes to English - it's mostly a science language in his time frame.]

Japanese is one I know in passing, from a friend who grew up with it and his, uh, tastes in pop fiction. But our worlds having English, Korean, Japanese and German in common is interesting.

{More interesting: the fact that none of the Imps speak English but we do. Use it right and it's be like - trying to decode Navajo as a German soldier.}

Ah. Otaku. I do suspect there are more than one type.

[He switches to English, his being extremely, and very heavily accented - mixed accents from the sound of it, a few words sounding off, as if he only read them]

That's exactly what I was thinking of - it's an old legend.
