So I'm not a big laws guy, but I'm pretty sure walking around with a giant scythe would be against some kind of law, despite that being a shitty kind of weapon.

Does it make a difference, not-getting-arrested-wise, if that scythe is a book at the time?

[He'd say something about wanting it a month or two ago, but he can't lift it when it's a scythe, so it's not that useful.]

Also Retrospec doesn't care what your legal address is, but I don't think that should surprise anyone.

I just have to worry about accidentally firing it instead.

[thesettingsun]

That could be a problem. But at least yours is good for more than just being a paperweight?

[wordcarvings]

Not really? It’s not like I’ll use it if I can, so. And there’s a chance that they’ll send you the skill to use it.

[thesettingsun]

That's true.

Can you read yours?

[wordcarvings]

Ah, no, I can't.

[thesettingsun]

Me neither. I've never been good at Tokyo-ben.

[wordcarvings]

Is it written in Tokyo-ben?

[thesettingsun]

Entirely.

[He's not good at it, but he can at least recognize it, thanks.]

[wordcarvings]

Well... I guess that's not uncommon. It's seen as standard, though I think I heard it's not.

[thesettingsun]

My parents speak Tsugaru-ben at home, and I've never been to Japan myself, so I haven't needed to learn much...

[wordcarvings]

If you want to learn I'd be willing to practice with you. Though I don't speak Tokyo-ben either, it's probably a little closer to it.

[thesettingsun]

Basically anything is closer than Tsugaru-ben except completely different languages.

[wordcarvings]

I think there are other dialects that are pretty far from standard-like Japanese too. But what I know isn't as far off as Tsugaru-ben.

[thesettingsun]

What dialect do you use?

[wordcarvings]

Kanagawa. It's generally not the heaviest dialect, and it sounds a lot like standard most of the time.

[thesettingsun]

Close enough to make more sense of this than I can.

[wordcarvings]

Yeah, most definitely.

[thesettingsun]

Maybe past me's writing will bring up a memory for you. It could happen.

[wordcarvings]

I hadn't thought about that. Yes, that could happen.

[thesettingsun]

Whether that's lucky or unlucky depends on your opinion of memories.

[wordcarvings]

I’d say that depends on the memory itself.

[thesettingsun]

Too bad there's no way to know before you get it. I could really go for having a preview and then the option to watch the whole memory or not.

[wordcarvings]

[ ....wouldn't that just be great. ]






Yeah.

[thesettingsun]

If I ever get the chance I'm going to complain to Retrospec about autoplay.

[wordcarvings]

Autoplay?
