My point about global stories was that the characters come from different places - and while we agree that characters should
speak (and "think" where character thoughts are described) according to where they came from - the story-teller's voice (where there is, as DWIG points out, an anonymous 3rd person story-teller, the one that writes any descriptions etc not actually said or thought by the characters) should - I think - remain consistent regardless of where we are or what mix of character-origins are currently interacting.
