Sakuya Izasleep-talking. Time was frozen for Sakuya, because he insisted he wasn't sleeping!
[skype call, paraphrased]

Alice:
(normal conversation stuff)
Sakuya:
...There's... a fat woman who owns a video store.
Alice:
...... what video store?
Sakuya:
I broke her desk... I broke her desk.
Alice:
Why did you break her desk?
Sakuya:
I don't know. I don't know. I was chased by some people.
Alice:
People?
Sakuya:
They have radios in their right arm. They were talking.
Alice:
About what?
Sakuya:
I... don't remember.
Alice:
Are you going to fix her desk?
Sakuya:
...No. No. I'm not going to fix her desk. I don't even know who she is.
[short silence]
Sakuya:
There's go-karts.
Alice:
Go-karts?
Sakuya:
It's red... someone was on it, but I'm not sure who.
Alice:
Do you like go-karts?
Sakuya:
[thinking pause] No... I don't like go-karts.
Alice:
Why not? Too fast for you?
[Sakuya wakes up for a short moment... but falls asleep again in two sentences.]
Sakuya:
[pause] Everyone... plays on the arcade machine.
Alice:
Arcade? Do you like arcades?
Sakuya:
...the arcade machine... everyone is just like... Space Shooter...
Alice:
(...?)
Sakuya:
... I was... just thinking about eel, getting caught, being cooked served on pizza... wait, what? Eel?
[Sakuya wakes up just enough again, but soon starts sleep talking once more.]
Sakuya:
The... forest is pretty big. Pretty... Why am I talking about a forest?
[Sakuya really wakes up. For the time being. I told him of what had just happened...]
----
[I stay silent for a bit, and he falls back asleep. I try to start some conversation, but he replies with...]
Sakuya:
Agrias.
Alice:
What? Agrias? Agrias Oaks?
Sakuya:
Yes... Agrias Oaks. I met her in the supermarket...
Alice:
What was she doing at the supermarket?
Sakuya:
...she... she was in the frozen meat section. I met her there at the frozen meat section... but she's a vegetarian...!
Alice:
Agrias is a vegetarian?
Sakuya:
At least I think so. Agrias... Agrias is pretty.
Alice:
I think Agrias is pretty too. What do you like about Agrias?
Sakuya:
Her pony tail.
Alice:
Her pony tail?
Sakuya:
It's pretty. Very pretty.
Alice:
I like her armor.
Sakuya:
Yes... it's... nice armor. [pause] Why did... the guy have to open the door with his head?
Alice:
Why did he do that?
Sakuya:
He said... "move aside! I have to open the door..." and then bashes his head into the door to open it.
Alice:
Why did he open the door?
Sakuya:
[ignores question] ... Now I see... a guy... this guy with a weird tongue. He's got a piercing on his eyebrow. He's looking at a digital map. He's sitting there, looking really creepy.
Alice:
A digital map?
Sakuya:
[ignores question] The other row... is full of a bunch of girls that he kidnapped or something. He's not feeding them food or water. That's terrible.
Alice:
That's terrible!
Sakuya:
What... why did that guy in a chicken suit burst into the door? He's... wearing super short shorts. Eugh. [noise of disgust]
Alice:
A chicken suit?
Sakuya:
Oh, I get it. His name is Plasma Man. [pause] No... wait. Why are there suddenly ninjas running across the bridges? Why ninjas? [incredulous tone] What does that have to do with the plot?
Alice:
The plot?
Sakuya:
Oh... a big truck came. With three big guns at the top. They go "boom, boom, boom," and they shoot to [mumbles]
Alice:
They shoot to what?
Sakuya:
They shoot to test the connectivity of the two games. Wait... what two games? Why am I talking about two games?
[Sakuya wakes up for the time being. I update him on what happened.]
---
[As we try to have conversation, he falls back asleep without me feeling the change.]
Alice:
[Conversing about creepy things.]
Sakuya:
Yeah... that guy, he is creepy; creepy guy. Why is he looking at a map? I don't know.
Alice:
What's on the map?
Sakuya:
It's Google Maps.
Alice:
What's he looking at? Do you recognize it?
Sakuya:
No.
Alice:
Is it a touch screen?
Sakuya:
It's a... it's not a touch screen. It's like a hologram TV. [mumble] ... white ipod. He's touching it. He... has a funny hand. It's a metal hand thing.
Alice:
A metal hand thing?
Sakuya:
[ignores question] Now there's... a church. A church with a robot face.
Alice:
A robot face?
Sakuya:
A robot face.
Alice:
What kind of church is it?
Sakuya:
It's a Gothic church.
Alice:
...where did Agrias go?
Sakuya:
[pause] Where... is Agrias? Agrias... I'll go up the escalators to try to find her. I'm... I'm in a subway? I'm in a subway. Why am I in a subway? [pause] I'll go up the escalators anyway, to find Agrias.
Alice:
Did you find her?
Sakuya:
...Is that Agrias? I'm not sure. Agrias is wearing a frilly dress. A blue frilly dress. It's... very pretty.
Alice:
She's not wearing any armor?
Sakuya:
She looks like PC98 Alice. Except she doesn't have the hair of PC98 Alice. She has Agrias's hair. It's the same color as well. [pause] I went up the escalator, and she's this girl in the garden... like hedges.
Alice:
Hetches? What's that? [I couldn't hear him clearly.]
Sakuya:
You know, mazes and garden. Hedges. [pause] I just... looked up for a second and the moon is there. It's a crescent moon. It's very pretty. [pause] ...the moon is red. It's also a crescent. It's very thin. I better put on my sunglasses. ...Why ... Why am I putting on my sunglasses? Hmm...?
[I wanted to ask about whether or not it was the Lunarians replacing the moon again, but unfortunately... he wakes up again for the time being.]
---
[I update him on the situation, and try talking about something else, but can't find anything to talk about.]
Alice:
Puppies dressed as kittens.
Sakuya:
Puppies dressed as cats.
Alice:
Puppies dressed as cats.
Sakuya:
Puppies dressed as cats.
[In which... the late hour and repetitive nature of our conversation allows him to fall back to sleep...]
Alice:
Puppies.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Puppies.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Puppies.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Hovercrafts.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Puppies.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Cats.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... hovercrafts.
Alice:
Dogs.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Puppies.
Sakuya:
...dressed... as... cats.
Alice:
Hovercrafts.
Sakuya:
...dressed... what... what color hovercrafts?
Alice:
(He's asking ME a question?) Umm... yes, red. Why?
Sakuya:
Because you told me they were red, they are red right?
Alice:
Red. They're red.
Sakuya:
Does that make them go faster?
Alice:
[thinking about ricerockets] No, the little stickers on the side do.
Sakuya:
Huh... so they lied to me.
Alice:
Who did?
Sakuya:
[ignores question] ...Did you ever watch Wall-E?
Alice:
Yes.
Sakuya:
You know Eve [He pronounced it Eva] right?
Alice:
Yes.
Sakuya:
What do you think Eve were to be like if she had drills for hands?
Alice:
She'd... be good at digging. [I tried not to laugh at how silly that was.]
Sakuya:
She'd be RPG.
Alice:
An RPG? (A game?)
Sakuya:
Yeah, a rocket-propelled grenade.
Alice:
A... rocket... what? [I was fumbling to reply on Twitter and writing these notes down.]
Sakuya:
No, you silly, an RPG, a rocket-propelled grenade, don't you know? [incredulous tone]
Alice:
Why an RPG?
Sakuya:
I... don't know, I actually don't know. [pause] You know how there are zombies?
Alice:
Zombies?
Sakuya:
Yeah. And... we have like books, so do you think they could be zombie books?
Alice:
I guess so.
Sakuya:
I wonder if zombie books bite.
Alice:
Who would they bite?
Sakuya:
People? [pause] That's weird, I just went into an underground cave and came to a clearing... and I found Agrias again.
Alice:
That's good!
Sakuya:
...and she's wearing that pretty blue dress; it looks really pretty. She's... tied up; there's a wooden post, just one. Tied her with down ropes.
Alice:
Why is she tied up?
Sakuya:
[ignores] There's... an umbrella.
Alice:
An umbrella?
Sakuya:
What's that called. Kogasa. Kogasa is there. [pause] I like Kogasa.
[I later found out he was trying to say "karakasa."]
Alice:
Me too.
Sakuya:
I want to give Kogasa a hug. Can I give Kogasa a hug?
Alice:
Yes.
Sakuya:
I won't, she scared me.
Alice:
Why?
Sakuya:
[I didn't really understand him.] Won't you scare me? I want to hug her though. Hmm... Humm... Kogasa has some very nice legs, I like her legs.
Alice:
(...this better not go in some strange direction.) Yes, very nice legs.
Sakuya:
[pause] Alice is there too. She looks really sad.
Alice:
Sad?
Sakuya:
Yeah. Alice... why are you so sad?
Alice:
Why is Alice sad?
Sakuya:
I don't know, she won't answer me.
Alice:
Is Alice crying?
Sakuya:
She's not crying. But her face looks really downcast. Alice is sad. I don't like it when Alice is sad. [sounds very sincere. A pause.] Why is the water going, why is the water going into the drain, I don't know why...
Alice:
Where is the water going?
Sakuya:
Not sure. [pause] I don't know if I want to find out.
Alice:
What happened to Alice?
Sakuya:
...Alice...! Where is Alice...!? Oh... she's sitting down. She looks really sad. That makes me feel really sad. [sniffing noise] She looks really sad. [sad voice] I don't know why. That doesn't make me happy at all. [almost sounds like crying]
Alice:
It's okay. Alice isn't sad.
Sakuya:
She looks so sad.
Alice:
She's happy now that you're there. That's why she's not sad.
Sakuya:
[thinking about it] Yeah. I guess. [pause] My leg hurts.
Alice:
Are you okay?
Sakuya:
Yeah, it's just my leg hurts. Oh, I see. I see. There's a train. I was wondering why four people were sitting at the window! There was a train. Oh...
Alice:
A train?
Sakuya:
Yeah, it's like, modern train.
Alice:
Is it a Shinkansen?
Sakuya:
[deep thought] I don't know what that is.
Alice:
Where is Alice?
Sakuya:
I don't know, I lost Alice. I'm going to go find Alice. I found... not Alice. I found Sanae.
Alice:
What is she doing?
Sakuya:
Lying on the floor really still. I don't know why, that's not pretty, I don't want to go near her. I gotta go home.
Alice:
Home?
Sakuya:
I gotta go check on my mail. [large sigh] It's cold. Ahh. Ahh!! It's cold!!
[It was so cold that Sakuya woke up.]
---
Alice:
So... that's what happened.
Sakuya:
Oh... man. I must have been thinking about the "sedating, lawn" thing for Sanae. What's a Shinkansen?
Alice:
Bullet train.

Essentially the best and worst day for Sakuya? iPad came out.
