[Slow Log is Slow] Thursday, December 18, 1952

[ch0bi_chii]

[It started under the bed]

Здравствуйте. Как поживаешь?

[In the drawers]

Konnichiwa, ogenki desu ka.

[Outside the window]

Hallo, wie geht's dir heute?

[Venturing out to the bathroom.]

Ahoj jak se máš.

[The living area.]

Witam, jak się masz.

[And even inside the oven...]

[Ever since those messages that morning, Chii had been looking around in every single

Comments

[larva_ismybitch]

*have a slightly bemused Japanese vampire in your hallway*

ええ、おかげで。。。会ったことないと思いますけど。来たばかりですか。

(("Yes, thank you... I don't believe we've met. Have you just arrived?"))

[ch0bi_chii]

[Well, that was one way to astonish the girl. They are words like the ones in that message, and the ones Tomoe speaks, but different!]

[This is reason enough for Chii to listen, and stare at your mouth.]

Chii...

[Nope. No idea what was said. Someone installed the wrong language pack, one could say.]

Chii?

[larva_ismybitch]

...

Do you speak English then?

*She's thinking the answer might be no, but it's worth a try.*

[ch0bi_chii]

Chii?

[Well, she's learned enough to know to repeat/ask the word that she doesn't understand the most.]

English...?

/ happens to be at the other apartment building and hasn't notice a flying toy xD

[pink_aerith]

[She was outside at the roof because she wanted to see if the snow level had gone down or not. It's been a slow month and not much has happened. She's glad that it has been slow, but a part of her is bored.

Will anything exciting or new happen?]

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... A girl that needs pants?

[ch0bi_chii]

[Tilts her head before walking up. Who knows, maybe this is the source of the message? Just as viable a thought than the oven and toilet!]

[So, she'll just go and walk up to ask. Nothing can go wrong from this!]

'Ahoj jak se máš.' ... Chii?

Oh my! *gives her a pair of pants?* At least she's wearing underwear~! xD

[pink_aerith]

[When she heard footsteps going towards her, she turned to find a girl with no pants, but she had a pair of cute ears. A smile was on her lips until she heard the weird language that the other girl spoke which made her wonder if the other girl was hurt or she was speaking her language. Tilting her head with a confused look.]

Hm? I'm sorry, but I don't understand you.

Do you speak english?

Er... xD Not those kind of pants, either. Ahah...

[ch0bi_chii]

[Noticeably, her expression changed from the reaction, as it meant that the message didn't come from her either.]

Chii...

[But back to smiling again! She can guess what the question is, somewhat. More so from 'do you speak' than anything else.]

Yes?

[willing_sheath]

[Oh... she's doing it again...]

Chii-chan...?

[Wanders back into the apartment from the clinic--she is periodically keeping an eye on you, yes.]

What are you doing...?

[Realizes that she isn't going to get an answer, but asks anyway.]

[ch0bi_chii]

[Maybe she's getting her head out of the oven, or even, perhaps, one of the larger pieces of junk that were on the counters from the Doctor.]

[Will give such an innocent look to Tomoe, too.]

Chii?

[willing_sheath]

[comes in closer... and decides to try again]

[In Japanese:] Can you understand me, Chii-chan...?

[Doesn't... really know why this would work because... if Chii spoke Japanese... she would probably speaking more, right? But...]

[algdkjal;dgkj this is so confusing...]

[ch0bi_chii]

Chii-chan?

[Repeated it because... Well, she understands her own name, and that 'sounded close to it.' This is probably the same amount of confusing for both sides.]

[icanseethings]

[someone spots hears Chii!]

[ch0bi_chii]

[After a few minutes, she'll go down a little further before reading the next part of the message. Which would depend on the line Galatea heard first.]

[icanseethings]

[and she finally decides to speak]

Lost?

[ch0bi_chii]

Chii?

[Stops and goes over to stand in front of Miss Tall Lady. Though she doesn't know, exactly, what's being asked.]

Lost?

[valinorslost]

[The roof is a quiet place, somewhat peaceful compared to the heady bustle of the apartments below. Even if there are others who would most likely find it none too busy a place, for Artanis it is surprisingly full and busy with what she must assume are the Atani, for there are none others of whom she can yet conceive.

She is seated on the edge of the roof, looking out at the snow in pristine stretches with sharp-cut paths between them, when movement behind her catches her attention. Artanis looks over her shoulder, catches sight of the small figure, and her brows furrow just slightly in uncertainty at the sight that is... Chii.]

My apologies, little one, I do not speak your tongue. Is there someone else whom you seek?

[ch0bi_chii]

Seek?

[Approaches slowly before reaching the edge of the roof. Where she'll crouch on, facing Miss Very, Very Tall Lady.]

[valinorslost]

[Artanis regards the newcomer still, even as they come nearly eye to eye, and tilts her head marginally to the side. Such a strange being to come before her; Artanis cannot say for certain whether she must think it some other form of Atani, or some beast despite the words that issue from its lips.]

Your words, I think, are not meant for me. For whom do you search?

[ch0bi_chii]

Chii...

[So many new words. Though 'whom' does sound like 'who,' it doesn't seem like the question asking for a name. Too many parts she couldn't understand.]

Words... meant... Search? Chii?
