Unity: Rude (2008/12/23)

[[Riding from the airport. Sasha is playing a gaming device.]]
Hira: [Kajoshi] Juni, you still haven't told me why you've brought me.
Juni: [Hiero] Mom, I told you, you'll know when I know.
Hira: [Kajoshi] So where are we going now?
Juni: [Hiero] We're going to my place to drop you and Sam off and get some clothes, and then I need to make a couple of visits.
Hira: [Kajoshi] And why are you responding in Hiero?
Juni: [Hiero] Because nobody else here knows Kajoshi. It's rude.
Hira: [Kajoshi] Do you know what else is rude? Abducting your mother.
Sam (sleeping): hrnh?

Unity: Confusing (2008/12/25)

[[In the lobby of Juni's housing building]]
Juni: Hi, Leonard, can I get a temporary key for my mother? She's visiting from Kajoshu.
Hira: "Visiting," meh.
Leonard: Sure thing, Officer. Dressing casual today?
Juni: It's a really long story.
Leonard: I'll bet.
[[In Juni's home]]
Juni: So this is my home. I feel like I haven't been here in a tenround and a half.
Hira: Why it so big and so empty? YOu do not have any nesting?
Juni: Our bed is in the other room. You can sleep on the couch, or we can get you a temporary mattress if you like.
Hira: No straw? I like to sleep on straw.
Juni: No, mom, straw isn't a very reusable substance. Some people eat it, though.
Hira: Eat...?
Juni: Oh, right, if you want some food, there's a comm node in the kitchen. You can order what you want and they'll send it up the tube.
Hira (rolling her eyes): [Kajoshi] You make it sound so simple.

2008/12/23: Vacation

I'll be out of town until the 30th. I'll be bringing my portable Wacom with me so I might work on some non-Unity strips. On the plus side, I have buffered Unity updates until the 30th anyway, so there shouldn't be any interruptions in the regularly-scheduled updates. I just thought you should know.

Also I have a poll going on over in the completely-unused forum, if you want to comment. One of the things I plan on doing while I'm on vacation is attempting to improve the site layout, so I'd like to know sooner rather than later.
