nobody's in the mood for recording 6.9: the post-trial garden tea "party"

[tsunderine]

The flowers that bloomed at the end of the trial are ones that only seem to prove, continuously, that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Of course, it's only natural that many of the people are full of mixed emotions - grief? sadness? anger? frustration? maybe something else completely different?

But it's there, along with the end of the week.

Miasma still continues to be around, of course - but make use of the fact that this might be the last time it'll be at a low level one before it shoots up again.


Well.

Life continues as usual, disregarding any feelings that any of the house's occupants might be feeling.

So what are you doing these next two days?

[What the fuck did he just listen to.]

...So, what's that supposed to mean?

[i can't believe we're actually asking for someone to explain their joke, this is truly hell]

[impyroverished]

What? You know, the foot treatment made him...and the last word is like toe. It's...a pun.

[...]

You'd get it if you knew Swedish.

[Explaining jokes always kills them, anyway!]

[eyeforai]

[...okay, he asked for that one.]

I'll take your word for it.

[What were they even talking about again? Oh right.]

Anyway, I don't think Japanese is any more complicated than English. We're more consistent, for one thing.

[impyroverished]

English almost feels like a fake language. It's gibberish.

[Says Emil, having thought for like three weeks the Foundation had forced him to speak some weird nonsense language before he came to terms with the fact that yes, people spoke this 'English'.]

How so?

[eyeforai]

Uhhh...

[...Shit he didn't expect to be asked to justify his biased assumption. Curses!!]

You know, there aren't as many exceptions. Godan verbs always follow their rules and ichidan verbs follow their own. You don't mix them up.

[this is probably the most useless explanation but he's not a language teacher okay!!]

[impyroverished]

That explanation said absolutely nothing.

[Apparently Emil doesn't mince words]

[eyeforai]

Yeah, well...

[...]

Look, you'd get it if you knew Japanese, okay?

[when in doubt, just repeat what the other person said 30 seconds ago but flip it to your situation]

[impyroverished]

You can't turn that against me like that, that's cheating!

[But hey, it's a fair point. Touche]

It could be worse. At least we have a common language instead of having to wear a collar like Sissel. We should be thankful about that -- that thing looks uncomfortable.

[eyeforai]

It's not cheating, it's... using language to my advantage.

[This logic makes sense somehow!! Maybe. But him being petty aside, the collar thing is a good point.]

Yeah, but now that you mention it, how does that actually work? You can't just download a whole language into someone's brain like that.

[impyroverished]

They got us from different worlds altogether, maybe they also can just teach you a language without you realizing it. The Foundation is weird.

[...he wants to think that, at least. It'd be the simplest explanation]

[eyeforai]

So something like that sleep learning stuff?

[...Actually that's kind of creepier, now that he thinks about it.]

[impyroverished]

You can learn while sleeping?

[What's this witchcraft]

[eyeforai]

Apparently, but it's not like I've used it myself. But you're supposed to remember things better if you listen to them while you're sleeping.

[Or something? Where's Aiba when you need her.]

[impyroverished]

That makes absolutely no sense at all.

[This technology makes no sense, but...at the same time, he can't deny maybe it exists]

[eyeforai]

It's not like I invented it. Go take it up with the guy who did.

[Because honestly, that's just about all he knows about it too??]
