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.]

[ he does not check the network until he's at school that day and karkat is, understandably, startled?? it's one thing to see this kind of thing happen to people he does not care about (which is most people). anya is not one of those people though, so her being obviously stressed is not a thing that is good??

he texts her, which she. might have ignored if she's avoiding friends?? but fine okay. he knows her schedule, so he just waits til school is out and heads straight to where her last class is in order to catch her. and-- yup. runs right into her. he immediately places a hand on her shoulder and then awkwardly drops it. ]

[She's seen enough of these signs to know what's going on; she'd even had one removed by someone else not too long ago, which she's holding in her hand all folded up.

So when she catches sight of the one on Anya's back, her first thought is of all the people to target with this bs, this is the most unforgivable one. Her second thought is she oughta do something about it, so...she just pats Anya on the back all of a sudden, but as she pulls her hand away tries to subtly remove the sign along with it.

[ Being in Recolle a few weeks, Noah's already gotten used to several parts of his lie here: the subway was always down, his cousin couldn't cook at all, and his classmate Anya would always go out of the way to talk him up, no matter how surly he was. That was just how things worked.

So when that last one suddenly stopped? Even though he barely checks the retrospec, he took notice. At first it was confusing, maybe even a bit of a relief. But as the day wore on and she kept getting more into her shell? It got worrying.

Finally during break before last hour when she runs into her, he decides to express his concern the best way he could ]


Oy! What the hell's gotten into you?

[Okay, no one said he was good at expressing the concern, but the concern was still there!]

Which means he's definitely looking surprised by Anya's sudden accent when they collide, keeping his stare fixed curiously even as he reaches down to pick up the papers he'd dropped in the bump.]

Have you tried texting Viktor? If not, I'll call him right now, he might be able to help

[ to be fair to anya - ainsley really shouldn't be multitasking while in the busy streets of tisse. reading on her phone and walking kara at the same time - it's, honestly, a bit of luck that neither of them ended up tumbling in the process.

startled, from both the bump and kara giving a 'woof!' to warn them both a second too late, ainsley looks up to see who she had bumped into.

immediately, she begins to apologise herself when seeing who it is. ]
Anya! Oh no, please don't say sorry. I'm fine, I'm fine! That's what I get for not paying attention to my surroundings and I'm just glad you weren't...

[ two things occur to her there and then:

1) the russian. huh.

2) the expression on her former student's face.

immediately, she becomes concerned with how her cheerful smile fades into worry and her brow becomes furrowed and heavy with concern. ]
Is something wrong, dear?

[Alicia's reaction comes in stages. The Russian - Google Translate suggests it's that much, at least, not that she'd know - is curious. The Japanese, which she does speak a little bit of, makes her hands ball into fists. And the English sends one such fist into the mercifully thick wood of her desk that morning as she prepares to leave for school. She'd known it wasn't over. This was too easy. And now things are getting... strange. And she can't say she likes it. It's hitting too close to home.

She leaves a little early for school; her father notices her hand, which is just starting to bruise a bit, but she waves him off. By the time she arrives, there's a storm brewing in her eyes and a certain... something that is making people keep their distance. She was in it for answers before, and a mild personal curiosity, but this - and, to a less-urgent but still present extent, the girls that seem to have known "her" before now - are giving her more than a few reasons to seek those answers a little more actively. Maybe she'll have to join in the next time-

Alicia doesn't know Anya's schedule, but had been hoping to run into her if she showed up early enough and just roamed. She hadn't meant it as literally as it ended up happening, as someone seems to bounce off her and she automatically opens her mouth to apologize-

-and then she sees who it is. The silver hair throws her off, but everything else is still in line. Except the attitude; this doesn't. Feel right? Still, as soon as she hears the word in an unfamiliar language, her rising temper cools almost instantly.]


Anya...? Oh, no, it's fine - I was just thinking about something. Are you... [She can't finish the sentence - Anya is visibly and audibly not okay. Alicia doesn't need to speak Russian or really anything at all to understand that.]

[ Ranko only knows Anya in passing, but she's always been kind to her - and in a big city where one can easily slide into a short supply of friends, that has to count for something.

Still - there's an eerieness about this message. Not only the palpable distress evident in its tone, but...something else. Maybe it's the Japanese, which Ranko also understands - Anya now knowing it, albeit only half-fluently, and speaking in such a suddenly (uncharacteristically) feeble manner...

Ranko cannot suppress a slight shiver as she types out her response, trying (somewhat) to temper her wordly excesses. ]


You do not have any other symptoms?

A headache? Perhaps you have ingested some sort of potent potion? The city's clerics cannot help you, then?

Oh! Perhaps amnesia!

She then blinks, tilting her head to one side as she notices who it is. And ... who it is, is not the bundle of energy she normally is. Her mind rewinds back to the network from that morning, and she claps her hands together.]

[Yukiko had seen the Retrospec message, and she'd been really confused by it. Confused and worried, to be completely honest. But she hadn't really known how to respond to it, because it just seemed so sad. Spotting Anya in the hallway at school wasn't any better, especially when her kouhai practically runs into her because she's looking down at the ground.

Eyes softening from surprise to earnest worry, Yukiko puts a hand on Anya's upper arm and nods towards an empty classroom. It's that time of day and judging by the firmness of her grip, she really doesn't want to take no for an answer, even if she isn't asking a question.

Once they're out of the hallway, she turns to Anya and answers in Japanese]

[When Mikoto saw the network message, he was instantly worried. Seeing Anya so stressed and confused made his heart ache. He wanted to send her a message, but he ended up getting caught up with a customer at shop, and it pained him that he couldn't talk to her.

It's later in the afternoon when Mikoto finally is able to end his shift and let one of his employees watch the store for the rest of the day. With a bag of baozi he had just bought from a vendor, he has his phone in his other free hand and is trying to send her a message. He doesn't pay attention and finds himself colliding into someone.]


It's fine, I'm sorry. I was the one not paying attention.

[He instantly pauses when he hears the Russian accent and finally gets a good look at the person that he accidentally ran into.]
