[ Sometimes you see fireworks and get really excited bc you're a sentimental old man so good idea Saphir. There's also a delay before he answers because he has to text those stickers over to Subete and ruin his morning jog by possibly causing him to run into something. Maybe profit? ]

There are, now I can match.

The first one says: "I'm a cat."
The second one says: "As you see fit." because the cat is a king. That's a good one too.

[reanimania]

I see! I thought that first one would have said something about the butterfly...

Well, I'll try not to accidentally send you one that says something embarrassing.

[kaliedoscopes]

No [ It's a disappointment to him too. ]

You can usually tell what they say based on the picture. With a few exceptions:

[reanimania]

...So not "I'm tired"?

[kaliedoscopes]

"Good Morning" actually.

[reanimania]

Ah! I suppose that makes sense too.

I really should try to learn it one of these days. Maybe I'll see what the professor here would recommend.

[kaliedoscopes]

A Japanese professor?

We could practice if you do. You don't know Latin or German do you? Or French?

[reanimania]

Yes, we're supposed to have a good program here. There's a whole department for Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.

No, I never really had any reason to look into any of those...

[ God, this is kind of making him feel like a stereotypical dumb American, and he's not even from Earth. ]

IN MY DEFENSE I do know two other languages, they just don't exist here.

[kaliedoscopes]

I know Japanese and English obviously, and enough French to get by. And a few words in Latin and German, but I need to learn more.

But not many people speak Latin anymore, apparently. [ So he's got a toe into that non-existent boat maybe. ]

[reanimania]

I mean, my second one from home is Ancient Ispanian. Everyone had to learn it, though, even if it wasn't still actively spoken anywhere.

That was the only other language there was, actually. I don't know why you ended up with so many here, or so many countries.

[kaliedoscopes]

That sounds similar to Latin. Why did you need to learn it?

[reanimania]

It was Yulia's language, and it's still used in the Order of Lorelei and in some formal documents. So it's similar to Latin in that way, yes.

[kaliedoscopes]

Do you use it in your research at all? [ What's an order of Lorelei though he assumes its religious. ]

[reanimania]

[ he would be correct ]

Not at all. Even the incantations for fonic artes are typically spoken in our modern language, with few exceptions.

I suppose if I ever somehow happened upon some texts from the Dawn Age that I'd be able to read them, at least, but that seems fairly unlikely.

[kaliedoscopes]

I have to speak more Latin for the robots.

[reanimania]

[ takes a moment to try to wrap his head around that sentence... ]

What?

[kaliedoscopes]

Yeah, that's why I asked if you use it for research/your work.

Subete set half the robots to only obey commands in Latin.

[reanimania]

What robots??? There's no Latin language setting on any of my designs.

[kaliedoscopes]

Subete made them. They're like butlers, I guess???

[ idk this is his life now but that doesn't mean it doesn't confuse him still! ]

[reanimania]

Oh

[kaliedoscopes]

[ He waits a few minutes expecting to get the rest of that text but when nothing else comes through: ]



Are you driving and texting or something?

[reanimania]

No.

I just kind of thought making robots was my own thing.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ ...oops. Okay he can clear this up, probably even with his stumbling over words because tech is still hard. ]

He's a robot pilot which isn't the same thing, I think.

[reanimania]

It doesn't matter what he calls himself if he's building them!

[kaliedoscopes]

We needed something more elaborate than the roombas. Having servants living with us would be inconvenient, I don't think he normally builds them.

Some of them use verbalism, too. [ Yeah he doesn't understand why Saphir is upset but what else is new in his struggle in actual relationships. ]
