(ooc: ironically, if you ask him to say the words he spelled incorrectly out loud he'll say them perfectly fine... but mess up the ones he spelled right. And yes, he did just romanize his own name wrong.
Feel free to respond by doodling, although I don't know how long I can stand doing this style before I revert to my actual one LOL)

Huh? O-Oh... I've been... all right. [excuse him, he is still not used to adult women talking to him for more than 5 minutes and actually asking him how he's doing]

Haha, I guess so. But I hope it doesn't last too long. It'll get annoying real fast, I can tell.

[Pshh. In her experience, people in Paradisa are generally nice; she assumes he'll get used to it. c:]

Mm, I think the same. I can imagine it'd get lonely, too, if you can't find anyone who speaks your language.

[foolreversed]

Yeah it'd probably blow being any of these guys from different worlds with languages no one else knows. [although thinking about it, maybe he wouldn't mind it so much if he couldn't communicate with anyone...]

...Weirdly enough though, some of these aliens already know English.

[playdohsmash.livejournal.com]

Aliens! Oh, I always forget that we have aliens here.

And it's really a shame that these journals don't have cameras. We could all just gesture at each other. 'Erratic flailing' is a pretty universal language, I find.

[foolreversed]

Haha, that would be pretty useful! Then again with the kind of things people accidentally post on their journals maybe it's a good thing they don't have any. [looking at you equius 8|]

/squints... at self..

Maybe people would be a little careful if it were possible to show people. [But she's laughing.] You're right, though - I didn't think of that. I've managed to avoid embarrassing myself so far.
