14.) [ビデオ]

 あの。。何これ？？　失礼だが、誰か日本語を分かることできる？　今、おれは英語ができんだそうです。

ルーシー。。謝ることができたならいいのにと思うけど。。分からねぇだろう。くそ。もうしわけねぇ。

そして、スティーヴンは今もへんらしいね。なぜだろう。。

簡単だった人生が急に難しくなった。

もう、頭がいてぇー。誰か助けてくれなー！

(ooc: yes, all this nonsense means Neil's been hit with the Lost in Translation curse. He can speak conversational Japanese on a normal day, but right now that's all he can do. If any one

Comments

Is this video or voice? I can only recognize the character for 'ku', which isn't helpful at all.

[sitaronthewater]

Neil?

Video. Now I'm tempted to just go KUKUKUKUKUKU at you but I won't. XD

[illgrowoutofit]

うん。デミックスって、おまえが日本語を分かってチャンスはないかな？

THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW I LEARNED IT. It was the sound effect of an evil laugh.

[sitaronthewater]

[Long pause.] What?

BAHAHAHA. Love it.

[illgrowoutofit]

[Sigh.] 何でもない。

btw, the end of Scott Pilgrim was on last night, watched it JUST TO SEE Johnny eat the coin.

[sitaronthewater]

I have no idea what you're saying. Are you speaking another language, or something?

YES, SO WORTH IT. I APPROVE.

[illgrowoutofit]

。。はい。どうやってように気付いたかな。

I re-watched that one bit FIVE TIMES, it is the best thing. THE BEST.

[sitaronthewater]

Uh, is there- I mean, can you, like, type or something?

IT REALLY IS. As is everything Johnny does on screen ever. He's a perfect human.

[illgrowoutofit]

[He presses his lips together and shakes his head. He even holds up a piece of paper where he tried to write by hand earlier, and that came out Japanese, too.]

I've heard that I need one watch-through just to keep an eye on him. I intend to do this.

[sitaronthewater]

. . . That's pretty unhelpful.

Oh! Hey, wait, can you still play?

YES, everyone will tell you that you need to do this, and they are all very right.

[illgrowoutofit]

[He forrows his eyebrows, and holds up his DS questioningly.]

DON'T WORRY, I plan to. Also, Demyx has a kiss-curse post up, shenanigans Y/N?

[sitaronthewater]

[Demyx pauses, he's waiting for some form of answer for a while before he realizes that that is the answer.]

What? Uh, no, I mean your bass.

=D I'll go check it out~

[illgrowoutofit]

[Ohhhhh, now he understands. He holds up one finger and goes off screen for a moment, coming back with it. He walks his fingers over the strings a few times, and flashes a thumbs-up.]

Alrighty then~

[sitaronthewater]

[He brightens as he comes back on screen.]

Alright, cool! Maybe you could communicate through music?

[illgrowoutofit]

[He tilts his head to the side and raises his eyebrows, looking down at the instrument and then back up again. No, he's not getting it.]

[sitaronthewater]

Like-

[He grabs his sitar from off-screen, and he plays. His right hand plays an upbeat ascending melody, while his left is plucking something minor, and descending. The right hand only just barely drowns out the near-dissonant key of the left.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[He nods slowly, and looks down at the instrument in his hands. Experimentally he delivers a steady stream of low Gs, and then follows into a level cascade of descending notes.
