Rock 6 - Hello? Hello? [Text/Audio]

Looks like this place is doing something really annoying. I'm testing it out at large. Who here can read this? If we can't all communicate this is going to be a real pain.

[It's written in English, and following that, a feed comes up...and it's not Terra talking. Instead, it's Gotsumon. Strangely, everyone should find they can understand the little guy.]

Testing, um. Testing! Can you hear me? Terra can understand other Digimon, but not some of the other people. Can everyone understand me? Is that right?

Yeah, that's fine.

< I sort of understand the English, but I'm not very good at it. >

What was that. Was that Japanese?

What language are you speaking?

< She's got it right - it's Japanese. Tokyo-ben, if it matters. >

Tokyo-ben. ...I think she named the language!

[Sounds like Terra bopped Gotsumon on the head.] I don't think so... What'd she say exactly?

You're right...it's Japanese, Tokyo-ben, if it matters.

...How'd you know I asked if it was Japanese?

She said she can understand a little English!

Translate first, Gots, and for her too.

Wh-whoops, sorry! Uhh, Terra was asking how you knew what she was asking specifically but I told her you know some English and then she told be to translate for you. Uh-huh.

Ah! OK. [That was some heavily accented English right there.] < I read English better than I speak it. Does Terra want to know anything specific? >

I dunno... Terra, do you wanna know anything specific? ...She reads English better than she speaks it.

Maybe we should switch to text then...

[She does just that.]

You can read this alright? I just want to find out who can understand who.

Yes! ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

what kind of weird smiley is that.

( ・◇・)？ It it me, raising my arm! Do you not know emoji?

is this a japan thing.

Maybe? I do not know.

i only know smileys that look like this :) :( :/ :? :o :'(

Ah. We have more! (✿◠‿◠) ＼(>o<)ノ ╮(╯▽╰)╭

those look so cool shit our smileys suck.

Some use kana, so maybe you cannot make in English. Others maybe I teach you once there is less language mix-up?

that'd be good thanks.

d(^_^)

Hi~? I can understand you. Or... read you, I guess. [benefits of his education/upbringing, his English is pretty decent, though it does carry the slight traces of an accent]

[She catches the accent, so she speaks carefully.] You can only read it?

No, not just read it. It's fine, you don't have to slow down for me.

[She sighs.] Thank goodness... don't wanna have to repeat myself. Er, sorry, this is just kinda frustratin'.

Frustration is fine. I can handle frustration. But my flatmate sounds like an old-fashioned modem.

...One of the robots, huh?

I can understand you Gotsumon!

But I don't know what Terra is saying!

Well, I can understand everything too. Which is... really weird.

Chika says she can't understand you!

And I can hear Biyomon just fine... [Sighs] Looks like I was right, it's just us Chosen who're mixed up.

I don't like this!

Well... umm... it probably won't last long? I mean, we can still understand everyone, and Terra thinks it's just the chosen.

But that doesn't help Biyomon! This makes everything hard!

[She groans.] This halfa conversation thing is awful. Working together, that's what we're all supposed to do, but this?

Terra... [He half addresses Biyomon.] I think they're both real angry...

Well, we can't really blame them. This is making things a lot harder for all of us.

[ Chika pouts. ]

Biyomon! I don't know what Terra just said!

[ Biyomon sighs. ]

I really hope this doesn't last for much longer.

[ For the meantime, he's just going to translate what Terra says no matter what it is. It'd make things easier. ]

[Gotsumon will do the same.]

This is getting us nowhere... We don't know how to fix it either, it's worse than the freaking weather, at least we could stay inside and avoid that.

I know... it's... why does the Digital World go so crazy all the time anyway. We can't go a month without something going weird!

[ Not to mention, you know, the Dark Fields and the attacks and stuff. She knew that the Digital Field couldn't help that, but couldn't it be nicer about things that it HAD control over? ]

This is getting ridiculous... I'm not sure I can even talk anymore, I gotta unwind.

Yeah. This is too annoying.

We should talk when we can... umm, talk right again.

Whenever that is.

I'll talk to ya when I can.

[Only just waiting for Gotsumon to translate it, the feed cuts.]

[Unfortunately, Fluttershy is not among those who can understand Terra right now.]

I-I can understand Gotsumon...b-but not Terra...

[And those who can't understand her just hear a bunch of horsey noises.]

...Holy crap, you literally sound like a horse.

Ummmm, she's surprised at your voice.

R-Right...I'd forgotten that it might sound strange to...s-some people...

She forgot it might sound strange.

Strange is an understatement... I can barely talk to her like this.

...It's really surprising.

I-Is everyone having this problem?

She wants to know if everyone's having this problem.

Tell her yeah. The universal translator's broken.

[And he translates.]

Oh...but it only affects the Chosen? Not the Digimon?

[Gotsumon conveys the message.]

Why else could I have rock-head as my translator?

Um, yeah, looks like it. I can understand everyone.

Hmm...that's so strange...

[If only Choco wasn't a baby at the moment...that might help things...]

Strange is an understatement, it's just-- it's-- ugh. Gots, tell 'er we'll have to talk later, I don't think I can think right now.

Oh... Fluttershy, Terra's having a hard time talking right now, I'm sorry.

O-Oh...r-right, okay...S-Sorry...

[She can tell that Fluttershy's upset, so for a moment, though she can't understand her, Terra softens...but then she just shakes her head, gives a wave, and cuts the feed.]

I got ya both.

Thank god. [She sounds incredibly relieved and at the same time, weary.] D'you know how hard it is not being able to talk to anyone you want to? Jeez it's stuff like this that makes me miss crashin' in caves.

I'm startin' to get that, yeah. Startin' to regret always counting on my powers to get around language problems when I was outta the country.

Even earning other languages wouldn't help when some of the ones here are binary and horse.
