[network] @librarian; video; Evening 379

[Flynn looks pale and a little tired when he starts the feed, just your regular image of Norfinbury fatigue really. But he also looks quite content - which might have to do with the genuine excitement over the task at hand.]

Hello and good evening. I've been meaning to get in touch with you all for a while now and I come with a request for a little collaboration. Now I'm sure you all remember when communications broke down and people couldn't understand each other. With medication suspended I'd say there's a good chance it might happen again. Maybe...

[There's a needlessly dramatic pause and his hand comes up in an equally needlessly dramatic fist.] ... for good!

[Alright, now that this is out of his system...]

So! I think we should prepare for when that happens. I've talked to several people and with all this new exploration on the way we should make sure our efforts are not lost in translation at some point.

For that, I'd like to collect the most important words and phrases and devise a database of the different languages everybody is speaking. ... Oh, and if you're willing to spend some time I'd love to learn the basics of your language, too, that is, you know, if you're stuck somewhere past lockdown and don't know what to do, just, give me a call...

[He rushes through that last bit and tries to keep his tone neutral but fails horribly, the boyish excitement all over his face. Please teach him your language, he'll be the happiest nerd in Norfinbury.]

Alright, that's it.

[...]

This isn't like last time where I tried to incite others to rip into people's selves, by the way.

Just in case anyone's wondering.

I think you're all great.

Well, most of you.

Most of the times, of course excluding murder and randomly torturing each other unless it's a city thing because it's totally a city thing and we all know how that works, one minute you're hiking, just going about your post-apocalyptic day and then suddenly you're doing horrible unspeakable things to people you care about...

[Little circle gestures with his hands. It will occur to him eventually that he could just stop talking.]

This is really just about the languages and trying to facilitate communication in case we have another network incident and have trouble understanding each other which would make the exchange of new information difficult. ... And I totally just said that and well, then I guess I just said everything I came here to say.

Right.

Uh.

Stay warm.

Don't kill each other.
clowngirl: (♥ Yeah okay)

I know some bad words in Yiddish.

[Everyone else go home, Harley Quinn is here to save the day.]
clowngirl: (♥ Yeah okay)

[She smiles broadly. If she was ever upset that he had left, it's long behind her now. They've both had decisions they had to make. She's just happy to see him.]

That's 'cause I haven't had to call you a putz yet. Unless you got some stories to tell me...
clowngirl: (♥ Warm)

[personal profile] clowngirl 2018-07-14 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess we'll find out!

So how you been, Flynny?
zunesareawesome: (Yeah! :D)

[He's so here for all the unnecessary dramatics, bro.]

That's an awesome idea!

[He's also okay if you end up taking pieces of his soul again.]

I can teach you some stuff, cause if it happens again--and this is a tiny bit embarrassing--

[A deep breath.]

I forgot a lot of actual English.
zunesareawesome: (Arm up)

[personal profile] zunesareawesome 2018-07-14 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[He will try, but he will make no promises.]

Yeah! And if we can get my translator going I can teach you all kinds of stuff?

[Sorry bro, he can sense your mind getting exploded all the way from over here.]

...yeah, I know, I mean--I know what's in the songs, but Yondu didn't get me a translator until I was older, and could speak with the Ravagers without one. Guess it was his way of making sure I could get around in case something went horribly wrong. Like I still know...stuff, just...

...I dunno. It's hard to remember everything especially once I got used to the translator. It's not all the way gone, but...it definitely ain't what it used to be.

[It's fine, he's happy to help! Just please make it not too boring or he will fall asleep on you.]

Maybe? [Whatever that means. Sounds legit to him.] But I can't switch it off. I think maybe the guy who put it in my neck can? But he had like a special tool thing that turns it on, does maintenance, that kinda thing.

The only way I know how to trick it is if nobody speaks anything at me for awhile, so it goes back to like, default language status. But the moment somebody starts speaking English, it'll kick in.

Huh, that's right. I dunno, maybe somebody can just hit me in the head a lot?
zunesareawesome: (Wat)

[personal profile] zunesareawesome 2018-07-15 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
[What.]

Not even in the name of science?
zunesareawesome: (Dude!)

[personal profile] zunesareawesome 2018-07-15 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
I thought you're all about the science.

The red line thing was the worst. [A nightmare.] But I'm doin' better now, too. Mags and Mr. J are back from the dead, and that moldy ol' bunker folks found has gotta be a step closer to gettin' us all home.

This is a great idea, Flynn!

Is there any way I can help?

You know what's sad? I don't think I'm surprised by any of the things you said--even though it sounds like things have definitely gotten worse since I was last here.

But as for the language thing. My native language is Tethe'allan, but I also speak in the Old Language--which House told me was called Japanese.
zunesareawesome: (Let me do the plan)

[personal profile] zunesareawesome 2018-07-15 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, so now you'd make an exception for me if I insist.

[...which is...what he said...]

Maybe it's not so scientific after all.
cosmicwords: (Sic faciunt omnes.)

[personal profile] cosmicwords 2018-07-15 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...I'm not very data minded but I can certainly try.

I may be able to contribute some phrases as well...
