 あの。。何これ？？　失礼だが、誰か日本語を分かることできる？　今、おれは英語ができんだそうです。

ルーシー。。謝ることができたならいいのにと思うけど。。分からねぇだろう。くそ。もうしわけねぇ。

そして、スティーヴンは今もへんらしいね。なぜだろう。。

簡単だった人生が急に難しくなった。

もう、頭がいてぇー。誰か助けてくれなー！

(ooc: yes, all this nonsense means Neil's been hit with the Lost in Translation curse. He can speak conversational Japanese on a normal day, but right now that's all he can do. If any one

...

huh?

[illgrowoutofit]

[This face. And then Neil is half-choking, half-nevous-laughing.]

へー！これは私に起こったことより悪いだ！スチーヴンが女だぞう！

[ladyinaband]

Neil, is this a curse or are you trying to impress people with Japanese again?

[illgrowoutofit]

[He holds up one finger to indicate the first choice.]

カースだ。おまえも、ね。

[sempreadagio]

I have no idea what you're saying. But it sounds cool.

[illgrowoutofit]

そうと思うか？　あの。。ありがとう。でも、とても面倒だ。

[sempreadagio]

Yeah... uhm... okay. These device things should have a translator on them.

[illgrowoutofit]

そうですね。どのようにかと思うぞ。

Oh my god, I can actually READ some of this. : D

[manofgnee]

...Neil, you're speaking Japanese. You know that, right?

=D You can? YAY~

[illgrowoutofit]

はーい。やめてことできないだそうだ。

The kanji is lost on me, sadly, since we haven't done much of that yet, but the kana...:D

[manofgnee]

...Right, lemme just get myself a dictionary or something so I can understand you...

I THINK IT WOULD BE TOTALLY WITHIN THE RULES FOR ME TO SWITCH TO SPACED KANA FOR YOU. =] =]

[illgrowoutofit]

にほんご　の　じしょ　が　もってる？　シーチーに？

[agoodchild]

うーうー？

[ooc: For the record, I know precious little Japanese. But I wanted to throw my Japanese character at poor Neil today ;3;v]

[illgrowoutofit]

あ！日本語がわかる？

[ooc: Eep, thank you! <3 I'll stick to simple phrases, then. I can also use spaced kana only and get rid of the kanji if it's easier for you?]

[agoodchild]

[Mm, mm, Maria does, uuu. Maria is Japanese, uuu. It's very nice to meet you, uuu.]

[ooc: Well, by "precious little" I should say "none, except for the phrases my roommate taught me." So losing the kanji isn't going to help me at all |D I'm all over Google Translate right now. Is it okay to handwave and say the things in brackets from Maria are in Japanese? I can also just drop the thread, if you'd prefer since...I have realized that I may be in over my head.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[ooc: No, it's cool, Google Translate works surprisingly well most of the time. =] And yeah, we can totally do the brackets thing!]

ほっとした！ 、あまりにも、よろしくね、マーリア。。ちゃん？

Is this video or voice? I can only recognize the character for 'ku', which isn't helpful at all.

[sitaronthewater]

Neil?

Video. Now I'm tempted to just go KUKUKUKUKUKU at you but I won't. XD

[illgrowoutofit]

うん。デミックスって、おまえが日本語を分かってチャンスはないかな？

THAT'S ACTUALLY HOW I LEARNED IT. It was the sound effect of an evil laugh.

[sitaronthewater]

[Long pause.] What?

BAHAHAHA. Love it.

[illgrowoutofit]

[Sigh.] 何でもない。
