All right. [She's speaking Japanese and doesn't look very happy about it.] Whose joke is this? I would say Kora's but I'll be bound if she has this sort of power.

Well? The joke's old enough already. Whoever's done it, undo it now. And set Rosto and the rest to rights as well. This isn't even proper Yamani!

[fjkalfjd JAPANESE! But she doesn't know it anymore D: So she just speaks Cat.] Aniki? You as well! It is affecting quite a few of us, it seems.

Japanese

[Staring a bit.] Why're you meowing at me, goddess? Has the whole universe gone cracknobbed?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I have no idea what you're saying! Ah, um--[Switches to German.] What about this? Can you understand me now?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She looks shocked for a moment, then goes on in Japanese.] I can at that. What-- [She realizes she still speaking Japanese, frowns, and manages to switch to German.] What in the name of Mithros and his court is going on?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[In German.] Ah, excellent!

I do not know what is going on, but many people here are affected. It seems that everyone is speaking in one or two languages that they normally would not know. And it seems a rarity that two people understand each other.

[In Japanese.] So it's a joke on us all, then. [She frowns. Oops. Back in German.] This is going to be a trick to get used to. Hopefully it won't last.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

These little tricks they play often don't last very long, but they quickly become quite frustrating. I have also heard that they can turn dangerous, but this seems more like an annoyance than anything.

[There's a little bit of a smile playing on her lips, though she looks like she's trying hard to smother it.] Well, provided it's just an annoyance, I have to say I'm a bit tickled. It's creative, even if they got Scanran and Yamani both a bit scrambled.

Re: German

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Sighs.] I suppose...it is a bit amusing, that a wolf is meowing, after all.

Ah, but, Yamani and Scanran sound similar to languages you are hearing here?

Re: German

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

The ones I'm speaking. Well, I dunno about Yamani, but I know it's supposed to be Scanran--only they've gotten it a bit wrong. Can't put my finger on how, just know that they have. Grew up speaking Scanran, after all.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Well that's interesting, isn't it? That your world has languages so similar to the ones in other places. So Scanran is similar to...whatever we're speaking now?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Should try and find out what it's called.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Indeed! I should like to know, after all.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

So, you can speak like a cat and something like a Scanran. I wonder if everyone has two?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is starting to look that way. Most of the people I have encountered have two languages.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Well! That's a bit of encouragement at least.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

It is! It means we have a better chance of being able to communicate with each other, even if it means we shall need translators.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

The problem is finding the right folks to do it.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hm, this is true. Someone who wouldn't intentionally mess up the translation.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

I could think of several who would be tickled to do just that.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Indeed. And more confusion is the last thing we need right now.

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

How many folks have you met who speak cat?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[Chuckles.] Here? A few of them. Normally? Not very many at all.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Guess who's speaking Tibetan?] I used to know a bit of Japanese, back before the Great War.

German

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[...] What in the name of Mithros are you gibbering?

Gallifreyan

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

So you speak Japanese and German. And I speak Tibetan and...something. This is going to be fun. [rolls his eyes, then points to his mouth, shrugs, and shakes his head]

German

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Gathered that bit for myself, actually.

Gallifreyan

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

We need a translator for this. [motions between them, making talking motions with his hand]

German until I specify otherwise 'cause I'm lazy :|

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Gets it at least] And where are we to find one, do you suppose?

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[blank look goes here]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[Eyeroll. She points to him, points to herself, makes the same hand-talky motion and then throws up her arms and raises her eyebrows in a sort of 'where the hell' motion.]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

Where are we going to find one? [He points to his eye, then gestures around the Plane]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

Speak to every gods-curst person here until we find one with the proper combination? [Facepalm] Joy.

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[he shrugs, getting the general gist of it] What else are we supposed to do?

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs as well and offers him her arm like a gentleman~]

[itsthecoat.livejournal.com]

[Jack laughs and loops his arms through hers, making an 'after you' motion with his hands]

[anjelsword.livejournal.com]

[And off they go~]
