Has anyone gotten one of those weird memories that wasn't in a language they knew?

Also, does anyone speak Japanese? I'm trying to write down a conversation from memory, but it's hard when it's not a language you know.

Fluent in it. この記憶は何？

And kinda. They must have been speaking another language but I understood it so didn't really think of it at the time.

I have the feeling that some of mine haven't been in English, but I understood stuff at the time and think of it in English now. Weird, huh?

Sorry! I took some classes on it, but you're likely to find someone a little more fluent to be a bigger help.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I guess you're just unreasonable and lucky. Maybe I'll take Japanese next year if more of these memories are in incomprehensible gobbledegook.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I don't think I'm gonna be able to write the whole thing down phonetically in any kind of comprehensible fashion, anyways.

[espigeonage]

Certainly not to me, lol. But you remember what was said clearly, even though it's not in a language you know?

[not_good_not_wicked]

Pretty clearly. I think I was robbing a library.

[espigeonage]

A library? lol! Tired of reference books being in-building only?

I was born in Japan, so I guess you can say I'm fluent in it.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I would have given them back. Eventually. Probably.

[espigeonage]

If you say so! Might be more fun to just sneak them back in.

[All right. This has him curious.]

I can speak a bit.

[Neglecting to share that it's his first language and that's pretty much all he exclusively speaks, but she doesn't need to know that.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

That only makes sense if you sneaked them out in the first place.

I'd hope you would be. I only know a tiny bit.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You'd want more than a bit if you were going to translate incoherent dream ramblings.

[controlsdesire]

Try me.

[not_good_not_wicked]

You asked for it.

[Text file sent! It contains a Japanese conversation as interpreted phonetically by someone who knows barely enough of the language to haltingly ask where the bathroom is, and thus is nigh incomprehensible. It MIGHT be about someone stealing something, or about books, but it's a crapshoot.]

[controlsdesire]

[Well, that wasn't nearly as revealing as he'd hoped to encounter with wanting to dig up information on the network.]

Do you have any context?

[not_good_not_wicked]

I was borrowing some books from a library, but I guess they thought I was stealing them. Or they just didn't like me.

[controlsdesire]

From what I can gather, it's exactly what it sounds like. It seems more like 'steal' than 'borrow'.

[He'll be nice enough with how much trouble she's having trying to scrape up that Japanese. After all, he still has plenty of issues with English and he's been learning it his whole life.]

[not_good_not_wicked]

I am almost certain I would have eventually returned them.

[That's a lot of conditionals.]

I haven't gotten memories like that, but I keep getting songs in a language I don't know.

...actually, I'm not really sure if the language exists. It doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard.

Re: voice

[not_good_not_wicked]

Maybe it's some weird language from some valley in the Himalayas that isn't spoken anywhere else or something.

[solfage]

Maybe! I keep hoping that next time I remember something, it'll be how to understand it.

[not_good_not_wicked]

I've never found that you need to understand a song to enjoy it.

[solfage]

That's true. I just...feel like there's something important about it, but I don't have a clue what, you know?
