For a moment Wang-mu thought that the voice must be Jane; then she realized that it was simply the rote menu of a machine. "Do you have news?" she asked.
"Local, regional, planetary or interplanetary?" asked the machine.
"Begin with local," said Wang-mu. She was a stranger here. She might as well get acquainted.
When Peter emerged, clean and dressed in one of the stylish local costumes that Jane had had delivered for him, Wang-mu was engrossed in an account of a trial of some people accused of overfishing a lush coldwater region a few hundred kilometers from the city they were in. What was the name of this town? Oh, yes. Nagoya. Since Jane had declared this to be their hometown on all their false records, of course this was where the floater had brought them. "All worlds are the same," said Wang-mu. "People want to eat fish from the sea, and some people want to take more of the fish than the ocean can replenish."
"What harm does it do if I fish one extra day or take one extra ton?" Peter asked.
"Because if everyone does, then--" She stopped herself. "I see. You were ironically speaking the rationalization of the wrongdoers."
"Am I clean and pretty now?" asked Peter, turning around to show off his loose-fitting yet somehow form-revealing clothing.
"The colors are garish," said Wang-mu. "It looks as if you're screaming." "No, no," said Peter. "The idea is for the people who see me to scream." "Aaaah," Wang-mu screamed softly.
"Jane says that this is actually a conservative costume-- for a man
of my age and supposed profession. Men in Nagoya are known for being peacocks."
"And the women?"
"Bare-breasted all the time," said Peter. "Quite a stunning sight."
"That is a lie. I didn't see one bare-breasted woman on our way in and--" Again she stopped and frowned at him. "Do you really want me to assume that everything you say is a lie?"
"I thought it was worth a try."
"Don't be silly. I have no breasts."
"You have small ones," said Peter. "Surely you're aware of the distinction."
