Eight - Video

Feb 21, 2010 20:51

[The camera clicks on to show Pakistan in one of the tea rooms. She has set out some food she's made--just some curry and naan, really--and there is a small flag standing with the food. The camera pans over the spread, then Pakistan sets it down on the table and crouches down so to be at "eye level" with it.]Today is International Mother Language ( Read more... )

Are you another country, girl?

pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 04:00:45 UTC

[She looks up from the book.] Yes. I'm the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

I see, you're quite young.

pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 04:08:03 UTC

I'm older than I look!

But I guess for a nation, I'm still young. I've only been independent for about sixty years...although I lived for a long time before that with my papa and Britain.

Be careful of the Major. He can't really be trusted.

Private || Hackable pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 05:15:35 UTC

Really? He didn't seem so bad...

Private || Hackable demiurgos_girl February 22 2010, 05:16:40 UTC

Mm. I want to be able to think he's learned his lesson, but... I don't know. Just be careful.

Private || Hackable pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 05:19:18 UTC

Well...okay. I will be.

What are you reading?

[Voice] pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 06:10:25 UTC

It's poems by some of my sister's people. It's a little hard for me to read though.

[Voice] helena_campbell February 22 2010, 06:17:05 UTC

Your sister? Another country, right?

[Voice] pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 06:21:59 UTC

Yes. Humans call her Bangladesh. I call her Bengal, but she used to be East Pakistan, and she lived in my house.

[Free food? You know Hibari's there. He walks over and peeks at it. Curry? Looks different... still looks good, though.]

[Pakistan looks up from her book and smiles at him.]

Have as much as you'd like.

[There are also some plates and utensils set out.]

[Action] hi_blog February 22 2010, 07:20:15 UTC

Nn. Thank you.

[He starts to serve himself]

Language must be a very large part of your culture for there to be deaths over it.

[Action] pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 07:24:42 UTC

Well...it's a little complicated. Because Bengal's house and my house aren't that close together. And my culture and hers are different, too. So when we lived together in one house it was...

Well, I had to choose some things to take precedence over others.

That isn't your language, is it?

[After some thinking. I just assume that he has learned a little of her language from her by now.]

pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 10:42:14 UTC

No, this is in Bengali. My language is Urdu.

[No doubt. Bengali and Urdu use different writing systems, though.]

watchful_knight February 22 2010, 11:00:45 UTC

I remember that... this conflict really was hard on you, wasn't it?

[He remembers her last post. And yeah, then he'd defs see it.]

pakisunotpaku February 22 2010, 11:05:36 UTC

Well...it was just part of the problem. And in the end Bengal left my house, so....

[...]

But she's happy in her own house, so that's good!
