Shanzira and Welsh: C Support.
So bored... I need something to kill my boredom. No good pranks to pull, I'm out of inspiration, and–
Oh, look, it's Welsh. He's always fun! "Hey!" I approach at a quick trot and come to a sudden stop before him, panting slightly.
He turns around, brow furrowed. Huh, he's getting a bit of a beard now. Someone needs to get him a razor or something. "Nani?" And he's hunching like always. He always looks irritable like this. But it's not often that he's speaking in Japanese.
So I give him a big bright smile. "Hi, that's what."
I know bits and pieces, anyways. Enough to get by, I suppose. Hopefully he'll stop after a while–"ohahyougozaimasu–" What?
The fuck was that? I can't even tell if there were words in there I could understand, because he said it so fast. I look him in the eye, fold my arms, and say "Do NOT make me pull out google translate." I can and will; I have an iPhone here, remember?
"Fufufufufu," he giggles. Oh god, giggling. Really? He straightens his back, folding his arms as well. "Nanda wa ne desu ka?"
I want to slap him so hard. "'What something something something am I?'" That's all I can guess. "I can't translate." I don't care about this being Ylisse, if he doesn't speak English soon, I'm breaking out google translate.
"Hai," he says with a giggle.
I roll my eyes. "Hi. English, please." I was so close to just screaming "ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER, DO YOU SPEAK IT" but that's rude even for my standards. My fingers drift towards my spear.
He grins, showing teeth. "Hai, wakarimashita!"
"Okay fuck it." Fuck the rules, fuck the police, fuck Frederick. It's google time. "Hello, google translate!" I type in a smart little response, then say it snappily into his face. "Eigo o hanashite kudasai!" By now, I've already forgotten what the hell I meant to say. I just know it was a good response.
"Yada," Welsh answers with a shrug. Okay, fine. I key that in... Oh shit, it can't translate romaji. Fuck.
Okay, fine, I'll just translate my words into Japanese and hope to god it works. "Hai." I know now that it means "yes". Wish I'd known that before. Well, you learn new things every day.
He folds his arms again and says this next bit like he's going to don shades in the middle of it. "Omae wa no... Shinderu." There is a smug glint in his eyes and I would kill to be able to understand him!
I might as well tell him. "I can't translate that, google's being a bitch. I can only translate into Japanese." Although, telling him my little weakness is probably a bad idea.
The smugness in his face goes up by a pretty large exponent. "Hai, Nihon desu."
I want to punch him so hard. "I have that translated, except what the hell does Nihon mean?" Means "yes, I am (something)." Can I throw him to Sully now?
"Nippon?" He says with a raised eyebrow.
Oh. Now I get it. "Dude, what the hell. You are not." There is no way he's actually Japanese– that's what Nihon meant, I realize.
He shrugs. "Nihon, Nipon, shikata ga nai." That's it.
"I DO NOT WATCH THIS MUCH ANIME! SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU ASSHOLE!"
I'm pretty sure that rang throughout the camp, because I just became so much more aware of people around me, particularly a bewildered Frederick. I'm trying not to cringe at this. It might be slightly visible, because he chuckles.
My response is to slap him; he only laughs harder. "If I gave you a real slap," I huff, "that would hurt. Be grateful Frederick's nearby." At this point, I'm so annoyed I'm not thinking much anymore.
And he's still laughing, but distorting it, like this: "Haahaaheeheehoohoo."
"I'm talking to a brick wall.
"La li lu le lo," he sings.
"I was gonna ask you to brainstorm with me, because fuck if my brainstorm sessions aren't fun–" Good lord they really are. Nin, Eldrad, and Shio know this. "–but apparently you don't feel like speaking English, and I can't brainstorm is we can't communicate..."
"It's too fun," he snickers.
OH NOW HE'S SPEAKING ENGLISH! That's it, I'm leaving. "Bye!" I stop away to some other part of the camp. I'll just find something else to whet my boredom.
Based this one off actual conversations, was a little hard to translate into real conversation. I also started to run out of commentary to add, oh well.
Still want requests. Seeya, guys!
