[ Guess who's spent the last three days cooped up because of the storm! After having a total Japanese!fail in front of Scott earlier in the week, Junpei's been spending his time painstakingly trying to speak Japanese, with no results. He has been able to type out some things, but it's with a lot of concentration and effort, especially kanji. Anyone

[Someone else having trouble writing kanji? Oh, yes. Reading it is a bit of a challenge, too. Took nearly ten minutes when it should have taken ten seconds.]

It isn't just you. Writing and reading in my normal language has proven difficult.

Well, that's good news at least. Either we're all going crazy or this place is just weird.

[freezetheskies]

Could be either of the two. I'm more inclined to believe it's the nature of this place.

[dontshootthe]

i don't think i'm crazy.....

[ THOUGH IT'S A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY. POKEYMANS ARE PRETTY CRAZY. ]

[what is written is also written in Japanese, though it took Kaito much longer than necessary to do so]

It's not just you. 'S like everyone had their language settings changed when they got here.

[ Junpei replies in the common language, because fuck it, he's not putting his brain through a blender. ]

[and he receives a common language reply in return]

Think about it. Some of us come from Japan, some from America, some from worlds with different countries entirely. You don't think we all speak the same language, do you?

It's not just you, Iori. I've been unable to use French in everyday speech as I normally do.

... I've heard of Team Rocket from Amada, but this is the first I've heard that they may be the ones behind everyone's abductions. I had theorized they were partially responsible, but not wholly.

thats a relief...but is ur japanese okay?

well its just what he told me, but i believe him.

[bufudyned]

Both my Japanese and my French are find if I concentrate, but they do not come to me as fluently as they did at home.

I can understand why. Team Rocket is supposedly a criminal organization. I would not be surprised if they were the ones who brought us here.

[text] what font do you use?

[dontshootthe]

[ Replying back in the common language after her messages takes him, like, ten goddamn minutes to read. Fuck integrity, he's lazy. ]

it makes no sense

i mean why take away our languages?

[text] I just do { code }, since I'm lazy XD

[restardom]
