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.]

[WITH HER MIMICRY she'll probably end up picking up at least some of it regardless of his intentions...

But he'll nod encouragingly when he figures out she's copying the word, and in response to its inclusion in her super stellar study plan.]


If it's you, I'm sure you can make it happen. That's the kinda person you are, yeah? Just keep trying and we'll be there to help you if you goof here and there.

[Smiles are definitely much better than frowns or looks of vague unhappiness. He smiles a little in turn.]

Just don't be too hard on yourself while you pick things up again, okay?

[If only because he doesn't think anyone else in the world would criticize Anya and if they did, they'd have a mob on their ass in like .5 seconds.]
sharplydressed: (it's not so bad)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-12 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's all about the attitude! Think of it as prepwork for your modeling.

[FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT. And have some bodyguards on hand, maybe. Actually, speaking of--]

But if anyone does laugh at you? Let me know.

[This is the wrong AU for murder but no one says he can't still beat people up behind the gym and make them regret living, okay.]
sharplydressed: (PINKY OUT)

[Her number one problem there is expecting Kashuu to have good advice on hand... HE DOES HAVE ADVICE IN GENERAL, THOUGH, SO--]

Just seem really sure of yourself! It doesn't matter what you're doing or if you actually are sure. If you have confidence and show it, almost no one will question you.

[Well.

He's not entirely wrong...]
sharplydressed: (like that!)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-12 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not! I always know exactly what I'm doing.

[Okay but is this the truth or is he just making an active example of himself, it's hard to tell...]
sharplydressed: (purikura)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-15 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[THE MIMIC TRAIN HAS ROLLED INTO THE STATION... Kashuu just gives her a thumbs up.]

Bin-go! When you say it like that, no one stops to ask if it's legit.
sharplydressed: (decorated)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-16 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll do my best to teach you the super important things, okay?

[Well. He'll do his best in any case, even if it's a Questionable Best at most...

BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY:]


You feeling a little better now?
sharplydressed: (it's like this)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-17 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[That's good, then. He feels like he's done his job somehow, if Anya can walk away from this conversation without such a gloomy expression on her face.]

Well, if you need any pep-talks or whatever from now on, you know where to find me. All of your friends will definitely support you all the way through whatever's going on, yeah?
sharplydressed: (pining)

[personal profile] sharplydressed 2017-03-18 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[OH NO, TOO CUTE. Anya is really too cute... This is why everyone ends up doting on her, honestly.

But he'll stand up and go over to give her a hug on request, and then ruffle her hair one last time when he steps away.]


Good luck, okay? [Dealing with things at home - though he doesn't know whether or not Anya's mother has the app, notices the differences, any other bizarre thing.]

And let me know if you need anything. Seriously, anything at all!
