[Video, Language Glitching!]

[dragongrass]

[So this week's little incidents haven't really been managing to get to Lenna, but getting accustomed to a lot of new things while everything is going wrong has had its problematic moments. Just now, for example, her attempts at teaching herself to cook have ended in an exploding ketchup bottle. Normally she'd clean herself up a little before making a video, but for some unfortunate reason it's completely slipped her mind.

In short, hello Vatheon. There is a girl here whose hands are stained bright red by and whose dress and face are splattered with a mysterious red liquid. She waves at the SFC, smiling.]

I have destroyed! I will do this again. [...the language glitch mangles 'I wish I could stop ruining outfits, this is the second time this week'. She continues, cheerful as ever, to ask for help with these confusing washing machines and about where to find more ketchup to replace the broken bottle.] My demands are washing powder and condiments.

Gojira?

*Rita MEANT to say "Wait, what?", but...*

[dragongrass]

[Lenna's a little confused by that. She tilts her head to one side before expressing how she 'didn't quite catch that'-]

We're sorry, but the ordinary places like very vogue traps?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

*"I don't understand you."

Panda at Kalanur's.

[dragongrass]

['...Pandas? I'm not quite sure how that would help.']

... It is Panda? I am sure that are not deep, it will help you.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

*Wait, Pandas? What?*

A bush in the hand beats two in the rabbit?

[dragongrass]

['...Are you unwell? You are saying very strange things...']

... Are you evil? Very strange things that you say...

[bufudine]

[He doesn't mistake the red sauce for blood; it's not the right consistency for it to be blood. But Serph has a very important question.]

Soap powder and spices?

[Too bad whatever he says gets run through a bad translator. He meant to say, "What are washing powder and condiments?"]

voice

[dragongrass]

['I don't know how to use the machines they use here to wash clothes. And I need to replace the ketchup.']

I do not know how to do calculation in his underwear. You must modify your source files.

voice

[bufudine]

[...This seems nonsensical. Perhaps she's been hit by the same language difficulty he has? Serph's sure this will be much easier if they played charades they could get their messages across with gestures.]

Where are you?

[Thankfully, it seems whatever is garbling his words has difficulty messing up short, simple sentences.]

voice

[dragongrass]

[Sadly she's not realized the glitch is affecting her quite so badly yet. And so her attempt at 'I live with Faris in the Lower District' becomes-]

It stays at pirate house in low country.

video

[bufudine]

[...That isn't very helpful. He knows there's a pirate ship but that's not exactly a house and... country? Low... the Lower District? ...He doesn't really know how to identify a pirate house, though.

He switches to video and holds up a map (included in all of Vatheon's welcome brochures) to the camera. Surely she's got one to point out her location on?]

Where?

video

[dragongrass]

[That works, at least. She looks around, eventually producing a map of her own and pointing to the house where she's staying.]

This. Pirate house.

video -> action!

[bufudine]

[Serph's got a pretty good grasp on Vatheon's layout so he nods.]

See existants. Please wait outside.

[...He was meant to say "I'll be there. Wait outside," but whatever!! Either way, it doesn't take long for Serph to arrive at the house. Hopefully she does go outside to meet him while covered in blooooooood!]

[harpheart]

Wow fall?!

[ Looks like her SFC's messing up, too. She meant, worriedly, 'Whoa, are you bleeding?! ]

[dragongrass]

['I don't know what happened, the bottle broke-']

I don't know what scraps, bottles-

[She sighs, then shakes her head and smiles. 'Do you know how to wash clothes with the machines?']

You can do this? I can not laundry robots

[harpheart]

In line for the shoe doctor, or what?

[ Meant to be 'Laundry robots? Shouldn't you find a doctor or something?!' She offers and incredulous look, and wonders how this girl can be so calm and bloody at the same time. Those things don't mix. ]

Hi, can you tell me that a business consultancy, for example?

[ 'Hey, tell me where you are and I'll come help, okay?' ]

[dragongrass]

['...You are saying strange things. Do you need me to find you? I can try to help.' She's a little confused. This is an odd place but everyone had seemed sensible enough until now.]

... Talk a little. An updated description of the Millennium.

[harpheart]

[ Lyra shakes her head and puts her hands on her hips, giving a disparaging look. 'I don't get it. I'm coming to find you. Just stay there!' ]

I don't understand. People, stop seeing him happy!

[ and the communicator turns off. ]

[Gale is from the same world as Serph- he's not about to mistake something for blood so easily. The rest of it, though. It's a very weird way of talking, especially since she made sense when he spoke to her before.]

I do not comprehend. What do you mean?

[Video]

[dragongrass]

['The ketchup bottle broke. I need to replace it.']

The tomatoes have divided too much. Can you remember?

[Video]

[donotcomprehend]

You are not making sense.

Re: [Video]

[dragongrass]

[Gosh Gale that is kind of rude this ketchup thing is new and difficult you could at least try to be understanding.

On the bright side it does prompt her to use smaller sentences which are difficult for the translator to mess up so much.]

The red condiment. Need to replace.
