[So far with the way things are around the village at the moment, Fuuko has been doing a pretty good job of avoiding all the weird and wonderful things that have been popping up, save for someone creeping into her bedroom and getting into bed with her during the night but it could always be worse. And oh boy is it about to get worse.

Having gotten out of bed and stepped out of her bedroom, Fuuko has found herself transported to the beach along with her journal. An annoyance to some, sure, seeing as she's out on the sand in her pajamas, but to Fuuko the timing couldn't have been better. Right now, sitting on the shore, are three starfish. What's more these three starfish are engaged in an incredibly polite conversation with each other...]

I say, the water over here is most divine, don't you agree?

Oh my, heavens no! The water over that way is much better, far warmer.

Which way? I can't tell where you're pointing!

This way, see, in the direction of those particularly lovely looking rocks. Can't you see my arm?

You have five arms you blithering idiot!

[About water. And rocks. Clearly these starfish are at the height of a perfect conversation. Fuuko isn't too bothered about what it is they're talking about however, she's more interested in the fact there are talking starfish right in front of her.]

Hwaaaaah~! The starfish are so adorable! Those cute little guys, just look at all the starfish! Eheeeh~!

[Whilst Fuuko zones out the starfish decide to stand up and hop off along the beach. Too bad Fuuko missed the chance to see walking, talking starfish.

Whilst Fuuko goes on and on in her trance about the starfish little does she know her journal is capturing everything she says. What's more the journal might make it seem like Fuuko isn't talking about starfish at all but something much worse, or weirder, or anything!]

(Pick a word, any word, to replace 'starfish' with in Fuuko's replies. Have fun embarrassing and freaking the poor girl out by asking her why she thinks the Malnosso are so adorable, or certain people, items, anything you like. For example if you picked 'bear' then Fuuko's message will come out as 'The bears are so adorable!' and so on with all other replies she makes to your character about the starfish. Watch out though as Fuuko will hear the same word you picked whenever your character says 'starfish' too.)

[Video game? Arcade? That has to do with "joysticks"? He doesn't even know what those are!]

Y-you said it purrst!

Fuuko said nothing like that at all! Fuuko was talking exclusively about the starfish and nothing else. Why would Fuuko suddenly want to talk about joysticks?!

[And perhaps more importantly:] Why is it you sound more like an animal than usual today?! Fuuko is having trouble working out what it is you're saying Beast-san!

B-but you did-!

[And then he suddenly groans and lets out a very long sigh at her remark.] Yes. I know.

If you know then why do you still occasionally sound like you're making animal noises? If you're aware of it then it should be easier for you to stop doing it.

[Or it could be an experiment and he can't help it Fuuko. Gosh.]

[Grrrr, why does everyone think this?]

It's not me it's the journa-! [And then the rest is cut off by this strange noise.]

[That was ~~freaking adorable~~ strange. More than strange, very strange. Fuuko is silent for a moment.]

... B-Beast-san?

[r u okay man. That noise was unlike any animal she's heard of before.]

[A soft growl, at least coming from his real voice this time, makes it through the journal.]

I-it's the... journal. It's m... making me, uh... sound strawwwwk!

[She gets that, but it was still an incredibly strange and new sound to her.]

Do you think it would be better if you swapped to writing to Fuuko for now? That way you won't be making any noises you don't want to anymore.

[Unless the journals are screwing with writing too...]

... Oh. [Why didn't he think of that before?

Alright, he's going to write now... Here, Fuuko, have some small, scratchy, possibly hard-to-read text.]

I... I'm sory, my writing is not... [What's the word?] ... best.

[... Would it be rude to assume based on that chicken scratch that the journals are screwing with writing too?]

That's okay Beast-san, Fuuko is sure that if you want to improve then you can.

[Her writing is small and very neat, like something you might expect from someone who took a handwriting class in their first year of school.]

[Hmm... yes, her writing is very neat. He wishes he could write that neatly.

But he continues writing back, in the hopes that it's working. Except in a way Fuuko is right: Unknown to him, his words still aren't coming out quite right.]

I... I hope you can underbaaaahhhhd what I say.

[Blink. Well it seemed like a good idea at first. Wow. The journals must be really screwed up if they're going as far as to mess with written words as well as speech.]

You did it again, Fuuko saw it. Right there. Fuuko thinks you wrote out a sound that sheep make. Sorry, Fuuko was certain this would work.

[Grrrr.] Stupid journal. [He is almost tempted to swipe the book off his lap... but Fuuko's still there and that's rude. He tries to write again instead.]

This week is stoopid.

Fuuko agrees. this week must be very stupid if it means all your words end up coming out as animal sounds. All the other weeks probably don't know what to do with the particularly weird week.

[Writing as though every single week my somehow be sentient and might be able to shun this week. Poor week, it's not your fault the Malnosso decided to screw with you.]

[Beast doesn't notice Fuuko's commentary on weeks and their feelings and instead makes a growling sound well heard over the journal.]

I hate the Malnosso.

[She does indeed catch the growl. Now that could well have been an animal sound or Beast being Beast.]

Fuuko thinks a lot of people would agree with you on that.

[A heavy sigh from Beast's end... it's probably best they change the subject now.]

What... what were you talking abowt befor?

Earlier we were talking about joysticks. That was not right at all though, so then Fuuko tried to convince you that Fuuko was talking about starfish. Then you made animal sounds. Fuuko thinks that that's everything.

[... Beast spends at least a minute staring at what Fuuko just said. Because he can't make sense of it.

"Earlier we were talking about joysticks. That was not right at all though, so then Fuuko tried to convince you that Fuuko was talking about joysticks."

He... really does not like his journal right now.]

You... you mean it was not... "joysticks"?

Edited 2012-09-15 22:09 (UTC)

Are we really going to bring up joysticks again?

[Please no. Sob.]

Please don't tell Fuuko that all this time Fuuko was actually trying to explain about the s-t-a-r-f-i-s-h you were actually hearing Fuuko say things about joysticks.

[Luckily Fuuko's writing cannot convey how she is shaking her head back and forth and sobbing internally.]

[Hold on while Beast quietly reads this to himself.]

S-t-a-r... o-oh! Starrrrf!fish! [Who cares about the sound he just made, everything makes sense now! Now back to writing.]

... You... said that, not "joysticks"?

Yes, that is what Fuuko has been talking about the entire time. From now on, please assume Fuuko is talking about the starfish unless Fuuko specifically says that Fuuko is speaking about something else!

[Oh. Now she seems annoyed. Um.]

But... but you did say that. [...] I meen... the jernal made it... sownd like... you said that.

Then please ignore the journal until Fuuko can properly talk about the starfish without it being something else entirely.

[Stupid journal. Being stupid and all.]

Oh... alright. [Though he agrees - stupid journals indeed.]
