 あの。。何これ？？　失礼だが、誰か日本語を分かることできる？　今、おれは英語ができんだそうです。

ルーシー。。謝ることができたならいいのにと思うけど。。分からねぇだろう。くそ。もうしわけねぇ。

そして、スティーヴンは今もへんらしいね。なぜだろう。。

簡単だった人生が急に難しくなった。

もう、頭がいてぇー。誰か助けてくれなー！

(ooc: yes, all this nonsense means Neil's been hit with the Lost in Translation curse. He can speak conversational Japanese on a normal day, but right now that's all he can do. If any one else speaks, yeah, he thinks he's some sort of cool tough guy which is why he talks like this. Also if his grammar is a little messy, it's because it's his (and my) second language. He (we) is (are) doing his (our) best.]

[This face. And then Neil is half-choking, half-nevous-laughing.]

へー！これは私に起こったことより悪いだ！スチーヴンが女だぞう！

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Neil, is this a curse or are you trying to impress people with Japanese again?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He holds up one finger to indicate the first choice.]

カースだ。おまえも、ね。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Have you tried writing?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[His eyes light up. He grabs a notebook and scribbles something down in it. But then his face falls, and he holds it up for Stephen to see. It reads: "英語で書くことができる？"]

だめ。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Shit.

So, uh. It's Stephen. In case you didn't know. I'm a girl this weekend.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

はい。見た。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Okay. Glad that's clear?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

。。おまえはおっぱいを持っています。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Hold on. I'm going to find out if there's Babel Fish anywhere on the network.

[A few minutes of clicking, and...]

...something about tits?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

あぁ。おまえは持っている。へんだろうね？

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that one so did not translate well. Sorry, dude.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

くそ。 これは無用だ。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

...good?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

だまれ！　いいじゃないよ！

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Something about not being nice? Dude, I'm a girl all weekend. I don't have to be nice.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

それってどういう意味？女たちは優しいだ。

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

The only word that translated in that was 'woman'

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Heavy sigh.] おれ、あきらめる。
