[There's quite a lot of space filled with random words and letters. It doesn't make much sense when you read it aloud, but Sorata was using his communicator's translating function to help read English; typing in the letters and words and having them switch to Japanese

If the book's in English, why do you need a Japanese - English dictionary?

[shockinglycool]

To read it more easily!

[cheatingbelief]

Wouldn't an English - Japanese dictionary work better, then?

[shockinglycool]

...

...There's a difference?

[cheatingbelief]

...Yes.

Japanese - English; Japanese to English.
English - Japanese; English to Japanese.

[shockinglycool]

Oh. I thought it was just a matter of "list it in whichever way you'd like best."

In that case, I'd like a Japanese - English dictionary.

[cheatingbelief]

No.

My phone... is kind of useless here as a phone, but it has a built in Japanese - English/English - Japanese dictionary.

((ooc: aka Shin's pathetic way of asking him if he would like to use it.))

[shockinglycool]

It does? That's really useful, isn't it? You're lucky in that regard!

[cheatingbelief]

...

...Do you want to use it? You wanted a dictionary, didn't you?

[shockinglycool]

Oh, were you trying to suggest that, just now?

In which case, I'd be happy to accept your generous offer.

[cheatingbelief]

I use my phone as a phone. As it is, it's useless me having it. I can speak English.

Where are you?

[shockinglycool]

I've taken English in school, of course, but it's not really my best subject.

I've never heard of a phone that can translate English, either... pretty fancy.

I'm at the high school.

[cheatingbelief]

My teacher was- Nevermind.

Seriously? J-E/E-J dictionaries come as standard on most mobile phones. What year are you from? Of course, they're not as good as electronic dictionaries, but it doesn't matter.

...So am I. What room are you in?

[shockinglycool]

1999? But I don't really know a lot about phones. Grew up kinda in the middle of nowhere, so I've never had a cell phone, even.

I was just in the inventory.

[cheatingbelief]

That explains that, then.

You were just in the inventory? Where are you now so that I can find you? I don't want to walk around the entire school.

[shockinglycool]

It does? Oh, because you're from far into the future, with robots?

I'll meet you right outside the inventory, how's that?
