[All this language nonsense is severely lacking in Korean. Let's fix that.]

So, I have heard several languages being spoken here recently, but I can't understand anything so far... Not even what I recognize as Japanese or English! I don't know how such a thing is possible, but it seems obvious now that I'm not the only one experiencing this!

[Yeah, there was something about translators, but that shouldn't mess around with being able to understand your native tongue... right?]

Is there anybody at all out there who can understand me right now? Many people here speak an impressive number of languages! Yes, it's truly impressive...! Actually, I am truly ashamed of my own lack of foresight right now. If I had studied more than only English, I would have been prepared for just this kind of situation!! From now on, I'll make sure to devote time to learning any language I can in this Tower!

I will start by asking that anybody who can understand me teach me anything else they know!

[Yeah, he seems pretty pleased with that idea. He repeats the message again in Vietnamese, albeit a little paraphrased. And for those who don't understand him... He holds up a paper and a pencil so they're clearly visible on camera. He taps the pencil against the paper to signify that he is totally ready for pictionary if he needs to be. This can only end in awful misinterpretations all around.]

[ It was worth a shot. Oh well. Madoka gives a small wave of her hand in dismissal. That's okay.

She does, however, hold up her notebook, and give a bit of a grin. Pictionary she can do. ]

[He brightens up a bit and holds up his pencil again, then points at the screen. Your move first, Kaname.]

[heartfeltfancy]

[ She appears to be hard at work...!

And then aout five minutes later, she holds up a drawing of...Ishimaru himself. It's a little chibi-like, such is her style, but hey--she managed to get all the details right. ]

[Hey, it's him! Now, he's not really big on the arts or anything, but he's pretty sure that Madoka is waaay more talented at it than he is.

...Which means he'll just have to work harder at it. YEAH.]



[Wait, the point of this was drawing each other, right? What if she was trying to tell him something. Oops. Too late...]

the sad thing is she'd probably do this even if there wasn't a running joke about pie charts

[heartfeltfancy]

[ OH THAT'S ADORABLE, she thinks. She smiles widely and claps. Okay, uh. What to do next. To be honest she didn't think this thing out, but seeing a frand on the network looking confused is an immediate ping for her...!

She ends up producing another sketch of Ishimaru...standing proudly next to a pie-chart. Ishimaru-san likes order, right? So he's organized, maybe he likes pie charts, too...!

Madoka pls. ]

Your tag makes me laugh every time I read it okay

[forgetbeam]

[Whoa.

WHOA.

How does she know.

He is pretty darned impressed. He draws a matching chart next to his drawing of Madoka from before, and... actually takes a few minutes to consider what each section should represent and just how big they should be. Oh, Ishimaru.

Is there a ~kinship~ about to be formed, here...]

mission accomplished

[heartfeltfancy]

[ O-Okay she's a little confused. Why did he draw a pie chart? Did she imply she liked pie charts? Um.

Wait, okay, she has another idea.

She erases some stuff, edits and the pie chart drawing becomes...Ishimaru in some fancy uniform? Is he a puelli magi? or maybe prime minister. ]
