 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.]

[His voice grows more insistent. If she listens closely, Lucy might hear some repeated (http://translate.google.com/#ja|en|%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%BC) sounds (http://translate.google.com/#ja|en|%E3%83%8F%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8A). But with the Japanese accents on them, whether they mean anything to her is another matter.]

[She thinks she's got the part that's her name, but the rest doesn't mean much to her. The tone of his voice makes an impression. He can't see it but she buries her face in her hands, feet sliding up a bit to bring her knees to her chest.]

Neil, I'm sorry. I'm failing Spanish in college. Japanese is more than way beyond me.

[It's possible she's apologizing for more than not understanding Japanese.]

[She still isn't getting anything out of his actual words but his tone of voice cuts right through her. There's some shifting and she moves the camera a bit. He can now see her shins, knees and the top of her head, face buried against her knees which also means her voice is muffled but clear enough.]

You shouldn't talk to me like that. Did you see the thing today? I'm not a good person, Neil and you deserve someone that is so good.

[Apparently, today, while Lucy can't understand a word Neil is saying is a good day to have a serious discussion with him. In some ways it takes all kinds of pressure off her. She doesn't have to actually hear the things she's certain he's going to say.]

And see now I don't know whether to tell you to go look or not because it'd be this huge weight off my shoulders for you to know but then I'd have to explain and you'd realize what a horrible person I am and right now you think I'm awesome. Possibly crazy but awesome and I can live with that. I don't know if I can live with you thinking I'm horrible. Hence the whole not seeing each other thing.

It's not that easy. [Clearly she's making up half of the conversation in her head.] Because that's just the tip of the ice berg and the Titantic was sunk by everything underneath and I don't want to be left floating on a headboard while you freeze to death.

[She stops because somehow that comment got out of hand.] That sounded better in my head. There's also the part where I don't want to be that crazy ex-girlfriend that you laugh about with your perfect wife one of these days. I'd rather just be the fun girl that you had a couple of amazing nights with that you never tell your perfect wife about.

[Yes, she's now got you married to a Stepford wife and she's automatically assuming that whatever happens between the two of you will end up badly.]

Okay, but what if you freeze to death and drown?

[Clearly this is metaphorical freezing and drowning. Also, she's still imagining Neil's answers for him.]

[ooc: Awwwww he is so derpy but it's adorable. We compromised. I wrote out her response and THEN used google translator.]

I'm pretty sure no one read Jack the warning label. I think you should have the warning label read to you. Then you might have to sign it and have it notarized and give up your first born. Or something like that.

[She moves a little, wrapping her arms around her legs and resting her chin on top of her knees so that now Neil can see her legs, her arms, her knees and the bottom half of her face, almost to her nose.]

[It's not hard to see that he's confused. Since she has no idea what he's confused about, she decides to go with all of the above.]

Jack, the guy who froze to death and drowned. Or sank. Which ever. [She's going to assume the notary part didn't confuse him or the first born part. He's pop culture savvy and with it enough to get it. That leaves...the warning label.]

You know how like...cigarettes come with a warning label? Well people do too except most of the time we keep them under wraps because the warning labels have all the things you don't want to think about when using like mutant babies if you smoke when you're pregnant or really gross lungs and lung cancer. People's warning labels are just...more complicated and they've got certain words in big, bold letters like:

Terrified, insecure, occasionally neurotic, possibly crazy.

And then mixed in with all those big, bold words are the smaller words, like ...subcategories of the warnings. And sometimes it's the fine print you have to be really wary of.

And part of me keeps telling me that I'm making too big a deal out of this. It was just a curse and I am just the really slutty girl that you go out with for fun and you'll never tell Miss Perfect about me. I can't decide if I like that voice or not.

[She is so ridiculous and she knows it.]

[He listens quietly, nodding slightly more as an indication that he;s listening than as any sort of agreement. It's a long time before he speaks.]

[He sounds so serious and the long pause before he answers worries her. She stretches out one foot, nudging the video device so that he's stuck looking at her feet again.]

You're still talking to me so...I guess I haven't scared you off yet. I could try harder. Not that I want to scare you off. I like you.

We should develop some sort of early warning system, like they've got for tornadoes. Things start to get scary and sirens go off. Step away, stay ten feet back and go hide in your room for a day or two. Maybe three or four depending on how scary the tornado is.

[She's still got the device focused on her feet for reasons that aren't even remotely logical]

Yes? Maybe? I think we should plan the early warning system sometime when I can understand you.

[She leans forward, half of her face visible for just a second.]

Maybe you, my feet and our devices can have a date sometime and talk about it. Let me know when's good.

[Yes, she's talking about skype dating, just showing her feet, at least at the moment. She sits back up and reaches over to flip off her device.]
