 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.]

Clearly, people like us weren't meant to learn romance languages.

...uh...you said it? I think?

Clearly.

これ　が　もう　すぐ　に　おわっている　こと　ほしい。おまえ　ここ　に　きて　こと　できる？

You'd think that Japanese would be harder to learn due to the characters...

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...uh...hold on....

Yeah, I can come over. Just...don't act too weird that I'm Dulcie for a day, okay? Don't mock me for wearing a dress, it was her idea.

Yeah... at least the pronunciation is forgiving.

そう　だ。　。。おまえ　は　ドレス　を　きている　と　いいた？

Thank god for that.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

She won't let me change.

She's got my body all dressed up like some sort of wannabe punk...

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

ざんねん　だ　ね。
じゃ、おれ　なに　も　いう　こと　しない。　やくそく　だ。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Uhh...yes? I think?

Sorry, still not getting everything.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

ひどい　だ　ぞ。だいきらい　だ、これ。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault, man.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

そう　だ　ね。かみたち　の　ばか。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

さかさ　で、　カンペキ　に　よみとる　こと　できる　から、にほんご　の　 ライトノベル 　と　マンガ 　を　よんでいる。とても　おもしろいんだ。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

...you learned Japanese from reading manga?

Huh. That's sort of impressive.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

そう　で　は　まったく　ない。でも、ありがとう。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

It's more than I can do!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

しんぱい　しない　で。だいじょうぶ　だ。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I'm not worried, do I seem worried?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

エクスプレッション 　だけ。にほんご　に　は、そんな　こと　が　たくさん　ある。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Oh. Right.

I knew that.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

まぎらわしい ね。

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Yeaah, to say the least.
