[ninthserenade]

Hey Vatheon, I, uh... I got a weird question. I'm still trying to figure out the whole 'feelings' thing even after being here for over a year and a half so I'm sort of at a crossroads here. There's someone I care about but I don't really know how to show 'em how much I appreciate their friendship. _{Actually, after last week it feels like it's startin' to become more than that... It's probably a bad idea.} Got any pointers for a guy?

Nanotech, huh? _{[He twirls around in a circle every few steps to observe the room, his hands stuffed into his pockets until he nearly trips over his own shoelaces.]} Whoa--...What about music instruments? Can you guys make those?

[action]

[double_edged]

You don't seem to be able to grasp the concept of anything, do you? Whatever you can suggest, I can provide. It's as simple as that.

[And here, he'll gesture for the Nobody to sit on the makeshift couch, brushing a few smaller projects out of the way. Alister why would you ever need a crotchitizer. It's not all that comfortable, being made from old blankets and steel, but it's something.]

Though I'm afraid when it comes to the language, I can only offer some notes from my sessions with Ratchet. I hope that'll be enough.

[ninthserenade]

Dude, anything is really, really vague. For all I know you could mean 'oh, we build crazy sexy robots' or... I dunno. Giant three-headed robot dinosaurs that sing Broadway.

_{[......Alister what is that couch that does not look very comfortable just look at his face when he sits down this is so uncomfortable his ass hurts already.]}

They say immersion is one of the best ways to learn, right? I figure if I can pick up some of the basics and go from there I might be okay.

Our means of interdimensional travel was a hat, Demyx. I mean what I say.

[The General will just sit in the chair across from him, not at all bothered by the steel bindings and shoddy craftsmanship.]

Alright, then. See if you can answer this: Wie ist Ihr Name?

[action]

[ninthserenade]

_{[A hat. Yeah. He's just going to give Alister this Look. And here he thought people traveling in something called a Gummi Ship was weird...]}

Ooookay. That's weird. but, uh... I only got one word outta that, so... Demyx?

[action]

[double_edged]

So you would say: Mein Name ist Demyx.

Was tun Sie für Ihren Lebensunterhalt?

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Mein... Name ist Demyx? Like that?

Uhh... Leben... Leben... That sounds like Leaving. Are you asking me to leave something?

[action]

[double_edged]

'Living'. What do you do for a living?

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Oh. Uhm...

_{[Come on, think, think! What were the words he picked up from sailors that sounded sort of like that? Okay, he couldn't remember off hand so he goes with the first thing he can pull out;]}

Jeg er... _{[It doesn't sound anything like what Alister was speaking.]} Jeg er musician?

[action]

[double_edged]

Musician? Hm.

Try this: Ich bin ein Musiker.

[action]

[ninthserenade]

Ich bin ein Musi-- Wait, wait, ich? That's a fish disease!

[drunkmanjuu]

Pirate? That's easy!

[ Thankfully, Mokona's suggestion is the best thing ever. ]

Get em beer!

Voice;

[rebull]

Just curious about your new friend~

[VOICE]

[applepies]

Btw, by the way... And it seems that another version of myself was here a while ago, that must be why my name sounds familiar to you.

[VOICE]

[ninthserenade]

Wouldn't it just be easier to say 'by the way'? I mean, shortening things sounds like text messages or something.

Voice;

[ninthserenade]

It's my moirail. He's been really... He's been awesome to me, so... I dunno. I just wanna find a way to thank him for everything and all that.

[ninthserenade]

Beer? Really? Uh, does it matter what kind?

Voice;

[rebull]

Hmm, think about his interests then.

[VOICE]

[applepies]

Ah ! Ok, sorry about that.

[action]

[double_edged]

...do you want to learn, or not?

[Look at him, just bleeding compassion.]

[drunkmanjuu]

It has to be the best! Kirin! Get Kirin! Or maybe rum! Something hard!

Pirates love booze!

[ Or so he heard from stories and manga and things. ]
