[In Japanese. Badly accented, grammatically simple Japanese, but understandable even so.]

I can speak Japanese. I learned from a high school class. High School language classes are not good. So I am a super genius.

[Back to English]

Okay I'm sure that sounded like a 2nd grader, but hey for four months of classes that's pretty good, right? I'm kind of leaving my class in the dust, and I think it's because the past Marisa spoke Japanese fluently.

This means I've suddenly got a lot of work ahead of me.

That mean I need to start muttering in Egyptian so you can't tell what I'm bitching about now~?

What are you trying to learn for?

[not_good_not_wicked]

[English because that shit is tiring]

Some of my memories are in Japanese, and I can't understand them. Also I got a bunch of, uh, reading material that is also in Japanese.

[seishindairingun]

[The "memories of a different person" thing is still a little weird to her, but she'll roll with it. If nothing else, it'd be rude to contradict someone when Inga has seen the paper thing work.]

I guess there's no dismissing it as a dream when it's something like that. How do the memories work? [Asking because she isn't sure she got a pulse, whatever the FAQ says. She didn't get an item, but she doesn't seem to have a strange memory kicking around, either.]

[dragon_blossom]

You think you're turning Japanese?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Learning Japanese.

Though I guess technically I am, like, 1/4th Japanese.

[dragon_blossom]

So was past you just fluent, or actually Japanese?

[Somewhat amused by this, Reimu decides to respond entirely in Japanese. Speaking in her normal tone, in her Kyoto dialect and not at all simply. At least it's not Osakan, since that'd be worse.]

Not too bad I guess. I'm not too sure I'd say "super genius," but it's better than I'd expect from a beginner.

[not_good_not_wicked]

Whu- uh...

[She got about half of it, and figured out the other half from context. Stubbornly sticking to Japanese for this thread.]

Just you wait. I will sound native soon.

[paradiseshrinemaiden]

[If Marisa's going to play it that way, then Reimu will also stick to Japanese]

Sure you will. In maybe four or five years. I can hardly wait.

[Hey she's not actually being that mean here. Most people take even longer to sound even close to like a native.]

Holy crap.

Thanks for posting that, seriously.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You're welcome.

Why am I being thanked, again?

[two_stones]

Because I just remembered how to speak Japanese.

[prismaticdestruction]

you are learning another language? is it your second?

[not_good_not_wicked]

That's right. I'm cheating a little bit, though.

[prismaticdestruction]

how are are you cheating? i did not think you could cheat learning that.

[icy_heavens]

Guess that makes two of us trying to learn the language because of all this. [Hi, he's been studying it solo for a while.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

[Hey it's the boring kid. Hi boring kid.]

So it's not just me who can't understand half her memories because they're in the wrong language? Seems like some people got a free pass there.

[icy_heavens]

Not so much most of the memories, but I seem to be getting spell incantations or something in Japanese.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Quite a lot, yes.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I can at least start translating it all. Get the simple stuff down.

[Fluent but heavily accented Japanese.]

It's not hard. The writing is what's difficult.

[soulsborderline]

[Still Japanese.]

Wait a damn second, since when do I speak Japanese?
