Summary: Cirno is going to find out what just happened

Cirno was just stareing at her PDA. She had come over to the lake as usual to think over the past round. It was her usual spot if she didn't have anything to do and the waters let her mind wander a bit more then she would usualy. That message had her confused as did the sender.

The system is undergoing maintenance. Please pardon any difficulties in the near future. - Kotaro

As she was stareing, That's when the penalty hit and she went down on the ground to curl up in a ball. She felt that at least this way, no one could see that this hurt her, even if she was alone. She kept that way for a while, at least ten minutes past the ending of it, nto sure if that was it or not.

As she sat up once more and reached for the blank PDA she spoke to herself mostly, "Tame ni sono nandatta no... ? Dareka ga futatabi orokana nanika o shinakatta..." 1

She looked about and frowned, "To watashi wa densha no naka de kare o mimasendeshita. ... Shin Kotaro ga modotte teniireta... Nani ga okotte iru nodeshou ka?"2

She's going to be there a while trying to figure out what is going on...

((OOC- She speaks in Japanese but unless you know her well, her accent or just how she says things makes no sense. GOOD LUCK!

1- What was that for...? Did somebody do something stupid again...
2- And when did Kotaro get back....I didn't see him on the train...What's going on?))

The moment Cirno started speaking, Becca stiffened. She hugged her back briefly, then pushed her away slightly so she could look into the other's eyes. "Cirno? This isn't the time for games. Speak English."

"Deshou ka? Watashi wa rikai shite inai... Nani ga okotte iru nani ga Becca?" She starts to tremble a bit. What was going on and why could she not understand. Cirno was scared now if she wasn't before with the sudden penalty. Her voice showed it if the trembling and the tears forming did not tell it all.

"Naze watashi wa anata ga nani o itte iru ka rikaidekinai?"

((What? I don't understand...What's going on Becca? - Why can't I understand what you are saying?))

Becca's blood ran cold the more gibberish Cirno spoke. She took a deep breath and put her hands on the other girl's cheeks, looking into her eyes seriously.

"Cirno," she said firmly. It was the only word she knew would make sense to the other, the only statement she could make.

Then she pulled her back into her arms, squeezing her tightly and trying to convey through a hug alone that everything would be all right. She was frightened, but she had to be strong now, and she was going to try. Even more, since she couldn't give Cirno a promise like this.

Cirno just hugged back just as tightly mumbling softly, "Watashi wa kowai... Nani ga okotte iru..." Even though she knew she could not be understood, she felt she needed to voice that. She stopped trembling after a moment or two and spoke again, a bit louder this time "Becca, PDA-jō no messēji wa, ko no subete o okonau ni wa nani ga atta no kashira...?" She bit her lip, hoping that maybe one word was understood, now if only the PDA actually worked.

((I'm scared...What is going on...-I wonder if the message on the PDA had anything to do with all of this...?))

"PDA?" she repeated, though everything else but her name had been pure nonsense to Becca's ears. She stroked Cirno's hair reassuringly, continuing to hold onto her. "PDA," she repeated, and reached into her shoulder bag to pull hers out.

Cirno smiled a tiny bit, glad that she could understand a little bit, "PDA... Messēji...Kotaro!" She let go with one arm and mimed typing with one hand, trying to at least get the second words meaning across as Message. Maybe that was part of what was going on.

"Message Kotaro?" she repeated, getting the jist only because the words were so similar. She offered her PDA to Cirno, then pulled back so she could explain. She pointed at Cirno and said the girl's name, then made a talking motion with her hand, followed by a thumbs up. Then she pointed at herself and said her own name, followed by the talking motion, and a thumbs down and a shake of her head.

Cirno nodded, took the PDA and spoke, "Mae ni penaruti.." She stopped herself from continuing and frowned. After a moment an idea hit her. She gestured in front of her and nodded once before clutching her head like she had gotten hit with a penalty. She stopped that quickly and pointed at the PDA and mimed out typing and then spoke once more, "Kotaro." She looked hopeful that at least part of it was understood..although she wasn't sure if she did the whole thing right.

Becca frowned. This was harder than it seemed like it should be. So...Cirno had been messaging Kotaro when the penalty hit? "Penaruti...penalty?" she asked curiously.

Cirno nodded quickly at the question, "Hai! Penaruti! Kotaro Hōmu." She was trying to get some words across, even if she might not understand what they might mean. At least some of it was understood, or so she hoped. "Watashi wa mina ga rikai suru koto ga dekiru to iu misu..."

((I miss being able to understand everyone...))

The latter sentence was too much gibberish and not enough words pirated from English, so Becca just shook her head and sighed. She took her PDA back to put back in her bag, not sure what else to do. "Cirno," she said again, shifting to take the other girl's hands in hers. "Cirno, Becca promise," she insisted, hoping it would be one of those words that was guessable. Then she bowed slightly, and pressed a kiss to one of Cirno's hands.

She didn't understand but she trusted Becca so she nodded. Cirno gripped Becca's hands a bit tighter. She closed her eyes a takes and deep breath, trying to calm herself down. This whole situation was no help and she needed to calm down. Getting upset at this point was a bad idea. Her grip tightens a bit more but not enough to hurt as she opens her eyes again and gives a tentative smile.

Becca smiled back at Cirno, and though her eyes showed clear fear in them, Becca was refusing to give in to it. She had to be strong, had to be strong for Cirno.

Maybe teaching her a bit of English would help them calm down.

"Becca," she began, gesturing at herself. She knew Cirno knew that, obviously, but it was a starting reference for a harder word. "Cirno," she said next, shifting her hand to indicate the other girl. "Becca. Cirno," she repeated a few times, faster and faster, until she was practically just waving her hand back and forth between the two of them. Finally, she inserted a different word and dropped her hand. "Friends."

"Friends," she repeated, then pointed at Cirno. "Cirno Friend Becca." Then she pointed at herself. "Becca Friend Cirno." Now...would Cirno understand and guess the word's meaning?

Cirno thought about the meaning that was being shown and the word itself. There was a long pause as she bit her lip, working through it. Learning was not her strong suite but it was usually the fact that it bored her was why she failed. It took her long enough to respond that one might think she really was not catching on.

"..Fr...ie...nds? Furenzu?"

She sounded it out and thought about it for a moment longer and smiled, nodding. The words sounded alike..Maybe they meant the same? Her smile widened as she nodded again, "Friends...Furenzu! Cirno Furenzu Becca." She looked hopeful that she understood it, determination had replaced most of the fear in her eyes and she was trying to work hard to make the fear she saw in Becca's eyes disappear. "Tsuyokunaru" She made her self look like one of the strong men to try and show what she meant with the word that might mean nothing.

(Friends and Be strong)

Becca copied the muscular pose, giggling a bit. "Soo-yo-koo-na-roo," she repeated. Something to do with strength. "Strongest," she offered. Then she dropped the pose to offer her arms to Cirno again.

Cirno nodded and giggled a little bit. Even if they could not understand each other for the most part, this was kinda fun! Although she did hope that whatever had happened would be fixed soon enough. She quickly hugged Becca again, still smiling, Hugs were universal!
