1: Annoyed Audio

[There's the sound of hands running over the communicator as Sokka turns it over and over, trying to figure it out-- his hand has hit one of the buttons to turn it on as he's fiddling with it.]

...heard people talking through this before, now how...

[And then, he realizes he's transmitting.]

Aha! Okay, all right. At least one thing makes sense.

Comments

[missmimmi]

I have seen monsters.

[withanokka]

...other than the ones at the banquet when we first got here?

[DO TELL.]

[missmimmi]

Oh.

...Nein.

[That was a poor excuse for a banquet anyway 8|;]

[withanokka]

.....YOU SAW NINE OF THEM?! Where?!

[....wut is german herp derp.]

fsydeyt lol

[missmimmi]

What?

[ffff]

Nein, nein!

I mean, no. No. I said nein, not nine.

[God only knows hwo big a difference the sound makes]

8D ILU

[withanokka]

....what's the difference?

[No, seriously, they sound identical, Mimmi, what are you on.]

♥

[missmimmi]

[Hrrrgh]

There is a difference! Nein is not English, nine is.

[withanokka]

Ooookay....

[....He's just going to assume English is the common name of the language here or something.]

And, so, what does that make "nein"?

[missmimmi]

It means no in German. English is not my first language, forgive me.

[And she can see he doesn't know the language at all.

She's both relieved and bemused]

[withanokka]

...OH. Oh, okay, that-- wow, that would make a lot more sense, wouldn't it.

Huh.

So, there are a lot of different languages where you're from?

[Sure, there are dialects back home, but most everyone speaks the common tongue...]

[missmimmi]

Ja, very many.

I apologize for, ah, confusing you.

[withanokka]

Pffft. Nah, it's fine. Don't worry about it. At least there aren't actually nine monsters, am I right?
