"Excuse me, can you tell me what year it is? I seem to be lost."

Give the player the option of answering;

(It's 2020.)
(What year do you think it is?)

If the player says 2020, the response will be, "Is my outfit still in fashion?"

If the player asks what year I think it is, the response will be, "1630 last I checked."

Or something like this to play with the original sprite. It's my favorite of the sprites I've made. A time-traveler at Christmas, why not?
