[This is something his country contributed to the world! IT'S IMPORTANT.







Sadly.]

It's from my native language! Hold on, I ain't great with words and I gotta turn Japanese input on

えもじ is "e-mo-ji", and when written the right way looks like this: 絵文字. 絵 is the "e" and it means like... picture. 文字 is the "moji" part and it means "character"

So... Picture character, yo!

[Makoto would be so proud of him right now.]

[garbagepilot]

That actually makes a lot of sense, then.

Would you be willing to teach me your language? I could teach one I know in return.

[ryuji]

Sure, if you wanna learn, I can help. We got some stuff back on base that helps speed it up too. But it ain't gonna teach you the juicy stuff, y'know?

[PUNK TALK]

I gotta admit, I ain't the best at retainin' information, but hell, if you're gonna try, I'll do my best

[garbagepilot]

The juicy stuff is how to swear, isn't it?

[ryuji]

Fuck, you figured it out that easily, huh?

[garbagepilot]

It wasn't hard to guess.

I'll teach you Teedospeak, they have like ten different ways just to tell someone to go and die in fire.

[ryuji]

Yeah, I mean. I'm a pretty predictable guy, but that makes me dependable, right?

Teedospeak!? Hell, that sounds AWESOME

We could even use it like a secret code

[It makes you adorable, you're adorable. Luckily no one is around to see the way he makes her smile, though, so he'll never know.]

That should be possible, the only people here from my world... well, they aren't the type to learn a language from a planet they see as beneath them.

So it would be just us.

[ryuji]

[This might be useful one day. Not that Ryuji sees it that way, he just thinks it's cool. But until then, he'll have to bunker down on his studies]

Yo, even better. If it's a language the rest of the universe don't care about, then we're even gonna be more of an exclusive club, hah!

Got a few words I can practice? It's kinda boring and I'm sittin' here on edge

[garbagepilot]

[She sends him a list of words and a few phrases, the basics for making sentences and written out roughly how they sound when you say them out loud.

For the most part he gets things that are actually useful, but at the end of the message is a few of her favorite, more colorful curses and insults.]

As long as you shout when you say these it should sound about right.

[ryuji]

[Heck yes. Ryuji skims the message, not trying to sound out any of the language until he gets to the last part. He's absolutely the type of guy to read the ending of a book before getting to the middle. The final moments are always the best, and this just proves it to him even more.]

Dude, these read like yo momma jokes.

They're horrible

I love em
