Can I ask what 物好 means? I have two conflicting translations regarding that. 物 having to do with objects suggests the Voile translation is correct, yet she uses "iru" rather than "aru" and her tone doesn't sound like she's talking about what's inside.

物好き(P); 物数奇 【ものずき】 (adj-na,n) (idle) curiosity; (P)

So yeah, the Voile translation is a cock-up.

I think I kinda see it now. So, it's more or less like...
"Guess curious ones(people?) do exist, huh?"

Is that about right?

But then again, "people with idle curiosity" doesn't fit the context so well. Perhaps liberal translation is needed here.

Hmm, if it's liberal translation, I have another candidate which is "Yup, guess strange things do happen, huh?". Based on the fanon context that Alice has no friends and is a loner, it is strange for her to receive a gift from somebody else....Too much liberty?

The fanon is different for artists and Mori no Hon's Alice doesn't seem to be the friendless type. He prefers warm stories after all.

The other translation (in another language) I used as a reference gave "I guess there are jobless people out there" or similar. Since she used the word idle curiosity, she seems to be talking about the fabricated sender of the gift, and that seems to fit the context a bit. Still, too much liberty, I wonder?

Should have done this from the very beginning.
I'm almost 100% sure with this one,
"Yup, guess there ARE other people with strange hobby (like you), huh?"

OR

"Yup, guess you're not the only one with a strange hobby, huh?"

Taken from "Goo Jisho", the first definition seems to fit the context,

1)変わったことを好むこと。好奇心が強く、普通と違ったことを好むこと。また、その人や、そのさま。「寒中水泳とは―な人だ」

Trans: To like unusual things. Strong curiosity, to like thing that is not usual/normal/ordinary. Like that person, just like that. [A person who would swim in the middle of winter]

What do u think?

That's the ticket. Good call double-checking a JP->JP dictionary for the real meaning; I always neglect those when there's a WWWJDIC hit.

Thanks for confirming! Now... I wonder if I can request Voile to update its version, since I did quite a few thread-cromancy there.

Ah, good. Nice of you to go to such lengths to eliminate errors.

I spotted at least two more errors on the Voile translation as well, one of them apparently a careless mistake.
