[backdated to the 21st] text (in japanese)(in english)(in french)

[nemophila]

My name is Jun Kurosu. Some of you may remember me from the body swap fiasco.

Others have offered their translation services and I thought perhaps I could help as well. I'm fluent in English, Japanese, and French, and I know some German and Spanish as well. If you need help communicating with anyone who knows those languages, please let me know.

If you speak a language that is in the same family as those, I can try my best to help with that too. It shouldn't be too difficult. At least as long as this keeps up.

[The next part seems to be added after the fact;]

I suppose if anyone wants to learn any of those languages after this mess too, I can assist. In addition, has anyone been able to figure out how the language of this world works?

[The message is repeated and rewritten in every language that he lists, though the German and Spanish versions are a bit broken grammar-wise.]

I only wish this were a more opportune time, so I might learn these languages...but even I can't seem to absorb them.

[Eh he aint gonna dwell on that.]

Is it? [ALCOR DID YOU NOT LOOK AT THE DAMN KEYBOARD-] It may take me some months, but if we can find at least one word, I should be able to manage working it out gradually. Can you imagine? Speaking to the Admins in their own language...

[swoon ~joyful sigh~]

[nemophila]

That's odd... is it another trick of the translation break down?

[Yeah well, he was!!]

Yes, it would be quite an event, wouldn't it? Perhaps even enough to earn their respect and attention. [He was smiling but...uh, while Alcor was sighing joyfully, Jun seemed to have a much more nasty intention in mind.]

I'll make sure to record everything that's shown up so far, but it might be a while until we can find some sort of reference point to start translating.

[viditlibertas]

I suspect as such, though it has not stopped me from recording that which I can find.

[Someday, these two'll make a horrible cypher language and put the anon-kun trio out of commission-]

There may be hidden meanings in their words that do not translate cleanly, as well. I do not suspect it's an emotive language like my own, but it may have hidden intricacies that our own languages cannot comprehend or clearly equate. It will be the fastest method of determining their own culture and determining how far it extends to and from this place.

[nemophila]

I'm sure you could at least record it and figure out what they mean later.

[Things just got really embarrassing when you bring up horrible cypher languages.]

Listening to it just sounds like nonsense, so it could be that their language capabilities evolved far beyond what the people that are normally brought here can achieve. The way they speak could even be completely different...!

[viditlibertas]

It sounds likewise to me.

[Look at his face.

Look at that icon.

Realize that this is the first time a language has not only outright stumped him, but seemed much larger than anything he's seen humanity create.

Larger than his own language.]

I'm going to enjoy this quite a bit...

[nemophila]

[Welcome to the life of a nerd, Alcor. They can't resist an intellectual challenge like this.

He chuckled.] If there's anyone that'll be able to understand it eventually, it's you. I'll be glad once this is over so we can actually get started!
