210. Specialization is not just for insects

Transcript

Juni: [[Kajoshi]] This isn't going well at all. I need you to tell them about Tsan and what the "shrine" did to everyone.
Hira: Why yes, this is wonderful weather we're having. It is so nice to see you.
Juni: Ngrrf. Mom, there are more important things than smalltalk.
Hira: There is always time for basic civility, Juni.
Juni: Argh, fine. Hi mom, have you eaten? How was your day?
Hira: Very strange. Why did everyone ask me what my [[Hiero]] "specialty" is?
Juni: [[Hiero]] "Specialty?" You didn't go to [[Hiero]] Little Kajoshu, did you?
Hira: Yes, I wanted to see what sort of Broodwitch you have around here. What is [[Hiero]] "specialty?"
Juni: Never mind that. Let's just get you inside.

Should have ask this sooner but is "Specialty" supposed to be blue when Juni says it or black like when Hira says it? I'd think black since blue seems to be their native tongue and if Juni did say it that way Hira should know what it means unless I missed something. I'd gotten used to them being called 'spadetails' by others and the worse parts have been mentioned before but it dislike Unity's treatment of the Kayohash even less after this incident with Hira. I've gotten rather fond of her. Great comic.

Juni was translating it to Kajoshi for her, which Hira didn't pick up on for some reason. (Actually I meant for Juni to say it in Hiero too but I messed up. I'm not sure which way works better, now. Should I fix it?)

Nah, it makes more sense how I originally meant it. Fixed, thanks for noticing.

oh so bailiff-san assumed juni was the only melrose in existence via database or such.

It's slightly more complicated than that. Hira just wasn't answering the voice calls, but was still following the "go this way" directions on the data node. What's going on at reception right now is a bit goofier.

I have tried Go but I am not very good at it. When I play against the computer I usually find some cheap-ass tactic which breaks the AI but that would only work against a human once.

I don't really think in advance so much as I get an idea for some silly thing and try to work backwards to it, while trying to avoid the sorts of crazy moon-logic that leads to in adventure games.

Also you need to get online more. Findra and I are all like 'where is bug ;_;'

OK, maybe I'm still lost, but that's all right.

And ya, I suck too, but some day I'd like to try getting some level of skill.

Also I am really really sorry about not being on. Still working some things out...

Well I like to keep things vague so people can come up with their own backstories. That and I don't like coming up with backstories, I just like things to fall into place as I make loud wet mental farts.

Oh, but I should mention that the last chapter and most of the epilog have been scripted in advance. So in this case I did actually think in advance, which is rare for me.
