*Hmm...I took BlackWings' suggestion and went scrounging around for some
other fics on my poor belaguered First Emperor (I found alot of FouXMami fics
and got sick in my stomach....not to mention played through all his
scenarios which I saved on one memory card...and came up with something I
hope will dispel of any dissatisfactions...great, now he's got me doing it...*
Onto part 3!!
Speech Therapy
Part 3: Ershin and Mami
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lost cause...this was a lost cause...
I stalked around my studio, looking out for other members of the BOF
cast who I could ask help from. I was desperate. Anyone would do.
"Funny seein' ye both here, this afternoon."
But I wasn't THAT desperate....
"Hi Mami..." I said glumly. "Ye be lookin' a bit under the weather there,
Cicero...what's goin on?" the peasant girl asked. "Just...trying out
a little something..." I said. "They dost have designs to correct mine verbal
manner." Fou-Lu finished for me. "Well, ye are quite a handful to listen
to sometimes..." Mami replied.
"I dost be that...cumbersome?" Fou asked.
I high-fived my forehead in response.
"I'll be a-willin' to help ye out there, Cicero..." Mami offered.
I shook my head no. This wasn't gonna work out.
"'Hi there! I couldn't help but overhear the problem' Deis says." came a
familiar voice. "Oh, hiya Ershin, Deis." I greeted. "'So you want to try
and correct the First Emperor's diction?' Deis asks. I think Ershin and
Deis can help." the little robot said. In frustration, I threw up my hands
and sighed loudly.
"Alright! The three of you can help!" I finally cried out and stalked off
to get more tea - for myself, it seemed like.
This really wasn't what I had in mind.
"A farmer and a robot who refers to itself in the first person..."
I looked up to see Rikage leaning back on the tree I sat under. "You
must really be getting desperate..." he chuckled. "Oh, shut up..." I said
angrily, pouring more tea for myself as I went back to watch the ensuing
English lesson.
"'It's been centuries, your highness. Don't you think you should move
with the times?' Ershin asks." the robot dictated for the goddess that lived
in it. "I dost not see the intention behind Cicero's designs as to the full
correction of mine diction..." Fou-Lu said. "Ye be quite confusing at times,
I admit, Fou-Lu." Mami said, trying to supress a chuckle.
I heaved a sigh. This may take a while.
"'You really want to do this?' Ershin asks Cicero." the little robot called.
"Good luck." I said.
*Ok, I'm gonna change format. I'm gonna enclose Deis' words in [and] while
Ershin stays with the usual speech format. Back to the story. Someone's
getting laaaazyyyy~!*
[Okay.] Deis began. I could hear a sigh in her voice.
[Let's see...]
"Why don't you start with the -st's?" I suggested.
"Ye be quite impatient with this..." Mami noticed.
"Only because I've been annoyed by it ever since I met him." I replied.
Ershin plopped down in front of Fou. [Okay! Well, your highness, may
we begin..?"] Deis asked. I was ready with tea and seaweed crackers.
"If thou dost have patience to do so..." Fou sighed.
I could tell, he was getting tired of this...
[And we will. First off...} Deis started.
Ershin stood up and cleared her throat. [Highness, you should think about
this. We who have been newly summoned have learned how to adapt with the
more recent way of talking.] she said, pacing the floor. It was quite
funny to see a squat little robot pacing but as I imagined Deis' sleek
form doing the lecture, things didn't seem as funny.
Fou looked at Ershin questionably. "Yet if we dost be the Endless that
these mortals hath summoned to his world, canst it not be said that
they doth be the ones who wilst undego such an adaptation?" he asked. I
shuddered.
A world like that would be torture to me...
[Uh, well, not necessarily.] Deis began. [From these mortals, to make
contact with them, you had better be easier to speak with.] Fou cocked
his head. "I didst make a complete connection with Cicero and Mami upon our
first meeting, did I not?" he asked us.
"Ye did but..." Mami began.
"It was kinda cute at first but..." I agreed.
"It got hard to understand!!" we both said.
The first time I ever openly agreed on anything Mami said.
[And that's what I've been talking about.] Deis said triumphantly.
Ershin turned to face Fou directly. [We could do with Cicero's little
suggestion...starting with that could, would and should.] she said. Try to
get rid of the -st at the end. It's not couldst but could.] she dictated.
I blinked. This had become quite the scene.
Mami and Fou were looking on at Ershin who paced back and forth in front
of them as Fou seemed to be taking notes on a mini-steno notebook.
They nodded occasionally as Ershin/Deis continued with the lecture and
by golly, two actually seemed to be learning something. I leaned in to hear
just what Deis was lecturing about.
[And for the second thing, please bear in mind that pumps are not worn with
a backpack. It just does't do justice!] I heard Deis say. "DEIS!!!" I yelled
angrily.
"C..Cicero? What's wrong?" Ershin asked.
"This was supposed to be an english lesson! Not a fashion lecture!"
[Well, I couldn't help it. It just seemed to be fitting.] Deis said cooly.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed Fou.
"So what happened?" Rikage asked. "Deis ended up giving a fashion
lecture to Mami and Fou." I sighed and noticed the funny way Fou was looking
at me. "Wha-at?!" I demanded.
He just watched me again. "I dost wish to stated that thou wouldst
perhaps do with a better hairstyle..." Fou commented.
"We need a real teacher." I groaned.
"And I know just the one." Rikage said.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well? How am I doing? Good enough to be an english teacher yet? No? Oh well.
*Blinks* I dunno if I got Mami's accent right... (most likely not...) but
anyway, lessee who else I can drive insane....aside from me.
Cicero: *shudders and glowers at Mami* I don't know why I even let you in!
mami: Ye were the one who needed me...
Cicero: I did not... ohhhh~!!
((MamiXFou fanfics...tastes like plastic in my mouth...))
Part four:
Momo and...duct tape?!!
