Week 2

[The Champions have now been here for one week, and while the dud of a first incentive didn't tempt anybody, the fact remains obvious: a lack of murder isn't going to be the thing that gets you out of here.

Blaze Dudely and Rox have not made a reappearance since Tuesday, leaving you to your own devices for the moment. That door they entered and exited through remains locked, and there is no new area to access this week. Are you sure they're even still back there? Despite their absence, you all wake up on Sunday morning from strange dreams. What to make of it?

You can only hope it's not a bad omen for the rest of the week.]

Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday

(( Don't forget to turn in your AC for Week 1, submit your memory regain, and turn in your Benefactor threads! ))

...That is odd.

[Yeah, this whole time Karamatsu has definitely been speaking Japanese and throwing in random english...but if it sounds like all english to Max...that's pretty crazy.]

I wonder what I sound like, speaking in English. I have always wanted to learn the language properly, but...it is quite difficult.

[theundertaken]

Oh, god, dude, don't feel bad. English is an awful nightmare language. Just throw it bits of like, every language you've ever encountered and then make up a bunch of stupid rules that don't make sense, there you go.

[He is not unfamiliar with trying to help people with their English.]

I don't....yeah, I'd like to hear you speak Japanese, actually, that's weird to think about.

[karappo]

Ah, really? Well...I wish there was some sort of way I could speak it for you. Though I understand why they would make us being able to understand each other a wholly permanent thing, at least. I did not even know you spoke Spanish.

[theundertaken]

Yeah. I've been using English this whole time, 'cause I'm kinda used to that, but I guess it wouldn't matter if I did or not...

[Hm.]

I wonder if it works on writing, too.

[karappo]

Hm...we could try? That is the only way to find out for sure.

[theundertaken]

I'm down for that. [Paper, paper...] Uh, art room?

[karappo]

Yes! To the art room!

[TIME FOR AN EXPERIMENT]

[theundertaken]

[WOOOOO HERE WE GO]

Okay, so. [Max goes straight for the sketchbooks and pencils and scribbles down THIS IS ENGLISH.] How's this look?

[karappo]

[Karamatsu peers at the words, raising his brows a bit.]

...ah. It is...in Japanese?

[He might not be able to read most English, but he knows katakana when he sees it.]

It says "This is English".

[theundertaken]

[Max turns it around to look at it again.]

It does say that, but it definitely doesn't look like Japanese to me. I can't write in Japanese. [weird]

[karappo]

...Hang on, let me see.

[Karamatsu grabs up a pencil for himself, writing his name down. "ラ松", Karamatsu.]

[theundertaken]

...yeah, it just says Karamatsu. Looks like English letters to me. Even though I watched you do it, and uh, that didn't look like writing English looks.

[karappo]

[That's.....so weird...]

There must be some way that this translator affects written word as well as speech, then. I cannot fathom how it would work...

[theundertaken]

Could be all in our heads. Like some kind of Babelfish thing.

[karappo]

Ooooh, you could be right, Max-san...I suppose that sort of technology is not beyond these people if they were able to pull us from different worlds in the first place.
