[So, after a month or so of study in shifts and things that mess with brains, Molly's ready to try an experiment. She attempts to say each of these in their regular languages: Spanish, Latin, French, and Chinese. All she gets for her efforts are a few words squeaking through Luceti's translation and a headache.]

I'm going to habla en Spanish.

Next to try nonnullus Latin.

I don't know many words in French but here it goes: belle, thanks, Camembert.

...Kung Pao Chicken.

[She waits a bit for the headache to fade and then makes a general post.]

Two months in this place, and I feel like I'm still just getting my feet wet. I know everyone's getting adjusted with this whole new 'cycle,' but I wonder if a few people wouldn't mind answering a question: What language am I speaking right now?

[And in a bit, Molly will blow off her normal time at the library to enjoy the warm day and glorious weather in a pair of stonewashed cut-off shorts that are just a bit too short and a plain white men's T-shirt. She's roaming in and out of town, until eventually she finds a good hill to meditate on. Two months? Caution's getting thin. It's time to try and contact one of these filial spirits and just... start talking.]

[Oh, now this is interesting.]

You hear an 'echo?'

It's more pronounced in person and easy to miss, but yeah. [...Whiiiich may or may not be the fact that she believes she should hear and echo making it so. Gods, what are you gonna do? ~~in which I use Haruhi's powers to bullshit my Luceti head canon~~]

Huh. That's interesting.

[She'll have to listen for it now.]

And you're speaking Japanese right now?

Yeah. I could try speaking English if you want to try and hear a difference. [...She's only at about the level of a high school student there though, much to her dismay]

If you wouldn't mind? That would be cool.

[And she flips the setting on the journal to video in order to better watch the girl's mouth.]

[Okay. Inhale, exhale]

I am speaking English now. Sorry, it is not that good. Only learned in high school.

[...now that's interesting.]

That's a lot better than my Spanish. Thanks.

[She'd be able to replay it and analyze it later - there was something there, she just didn't know what it was.]
