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.]

Anya... are you all right?

You haven't hit your head, have you?

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-08 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yet you've completely changed your native tongue. That doesn't happen without

[No. Don't make her worry.]

Did you used to be able to speak these languages?

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-10 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
And yet you're fluent now.

I speak some Japanese. My grandparents taught me. Would it be easier for you to talk in that?

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-11 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Anya... would you say it's as if you suddenly learned these languages, or you suddenly remembered them?

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-13 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. But you did dream about knowing these languages before?

Memories have been changing here, haven't they? Like with horses.

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-15 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I can't say. I'm sorry, I don't want to make you worried.

But there's so much going on with people's memories. I can't simply dismiss all of it. It may not be what you're currently experiencing, however.

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-17 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She sighs, on her end.]

Yes, I am trying to help.

I don't blame you for being worried. It is odd. Do you otherwise feel all right?

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-18 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I am sorry I can't be more comforting at this time.

I'm sure you'll be all right.

[personal profile] truedetective 2017-03-19 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
All right.

If there's anything else I can do let me know.


[Anya stop being adorable.]
