russian intensifies
[When you wake up on this fine morning and check your Retrospec feed, you'll find... Russian spam? It begins - ]
Доброе утро. Меня зовут Аня. [ - and it continues on from there, resulting in a full paragraph.
For anyone who can read Cyrillic, they'll find the following message: Good morning. My name is Anya. Is anyone able to understand this? I recognize it as Cyrillic, as Russian, however I don't recall ever being able to speak this language. I woke up and suddenly it's all I knew. If the people on here remember horses, maybe they remember me speaking differently? Properly? Maybe? Please let me know.
In an entirely separate text, she tries again. In two more languages.]
おはようございます。私の名前はAnyaです。わかりますか？これは日本語です。でも昨日でAnyaは日本語を話しません。
[ - and that also goes on. An English message, with the same approximate fluency level as the Japanese, to explain the whole situation is finally provided at the end. Third try's the charm?]
good morning. my name is anya. i am sorry to try again but i am confused. today i know how to speak russian and japanese. the russian is easy but the japanese is harder. english is also harder now. even though yesterday i only spoke english?
??? why?
if the people here remember horses do they remember the anya that did not know russian? please help. please. thank you.
[ ACTION ]
[ a: авария
Normally Anya is full of life. There's a skip in her step, there's a smile on her face, there's a whole-hearted willingness to tackle the day and everything that it brings her. It was easy to call Anya cheerful and friendly.
That doesn't appear to be the case anymore.
She avoids her friends. She ducks her head and doesn't make eye contact at school. She doesn't open her mouth to speak once, brows furrowed and lips pressed into a thin line.
Yet with her head bowed as it is, it's hard to steer clear of others, isn't it? Which is why she bumps into you - somewhere. She still wanders, even if she isn't at her best. Whether it's at school, at the dance studio, wandering around the city, she seems to have accidentally run right into you.
Startled, she exclaims in smooth Russian:]
Извините! [Then her eyes widen and she seems to pause, having to take a sincere moment to recall the words she's looking for. Even now, a distinct Russian accent colors her words.] Ah, um... I'm sorry...
[There's no helping the sad, defeated look on her face - but Anya is still a very gentle girl. Even though she wants to be by herself, she finds herself looking up to whoever she ran into uncertainly.]
Are you okay...?
[ b: секрет
Distracted as she is, Anya isn't really noticing any of the secrets that are posted around today - or her own. So there's a neat little sign posted on her back, whether it's detailing something small like:]
i ) Anastasia sometimes sneaks out to climb the rooftop of her house even though her mother has told her not to.
ii ) Anastasia used to be a cheerleader.
[Or something a little bit more telling like:]
iii ) Anastasia doesn't like to be left alone.
iv ) Anastasia is too scared to be an idol anymore.
[ ooc: anya's regain was her canon language tick! an example can be found here! complete with sprinkles of Russian and accent. an additional note is that if you hover over the different alphabets, the exact translation should come up! AND FINALLY, Anya's hair used to be the lightest shade of the blonde in the world - and now it's gone full silver, but that's the least of her problems.]

a!
I'm fine. No harm done — see?
[Lifting his arms up a little to show how super duper okay he is.]
What about you? Not that you have to answer, but you look kind of [VAGUE HAND GESTURE??] down.
no subject
Anya blinks, face to face with a stranger. There is a little nod at his gesture - she's relieved that he's ok! her shoulders slump in relief - before his assessment manages to reach and register in her ears.]
"Down"....
Беспокойство? Are you worried?
[she's a little surprised??]
no subject
Call it curiosity.
[That's a "yes" because he's a bleeding heart, even if he'll never admit it. He's not going to press for an answer, though, but he will add:]
Piece of advice: Watch where you're going. Some people get their panties in a twist over crap like this.
no subject
Да. Yes. Good advice.
[And she nods. Even if he mean to press, she'll answer - if a little belatedly.]
Today is very.... Странный? Mm but - it will be okay. [Since there are still nice people apparently?] Is that... an okay answer? Is my English okay?
[The words are a little clumsy on her lips, a little slow and definitely accented, but at least she's trying.]
no subject
Sure. You're doing better than half the people who only speak English. [Blah blah something about kids and chat speak.] Sorry your day is — that [HE'S NOT TRYING TO PRONOUNCE IT], but don't sweat it too much.
[She is definitely trying. You go be a kickass bilingual, buddy?]
no subject
That actually makes her smile a lot. The praise coupled with the attempt that she hears under his breath and she feels reassured? Wow? People are?? So nice? Her heart is warmed.]
It is already getting better. Thank you.
[she's a simple girl but kindness from strangers and being told that her language thing isn't a big deal helps a lot. hence why she feels comfortable enough to extend a hand!]
I am Anya. It is nice to meet you.
no subject
Haven't really done anything worth thanking me for, but you're welcome.
[He's still in the middle of a conversation, so. You know. He'll be polite enough to shake that hand instead of internally whispering "what the actual fuck?" into the abyss.]
Jason. It's nice to meet you, too, Anya.
no subject
[Just a little parrot, to commit his name to memory, coupled with a nod and a tilt of her head.]
Did I stop you? You were... going somewhere?
[Presumably, before they bumped into each other.]
no subject
[Shrugging!!]
But I'll leave you to go on your merry way. Try to keep looking forward, alright?
[Instead of, you know... the ground... so she can avoid bumping into more people.]
