Song #5 - Video

[fourwayconnection]

Yo! So, that New Years party from a couple weeks back got me thinking.

[Kirikou seems pretty settled, if slightly annoyed, as he pets a Solrock that's decided the perfect place to put its rocky and spiny little self is right in his lap.]

I'm not going to pretend to understand how language in this freakin' place works, or ask anyone else to try and explain it to me because I still won't understand, but I am curious about something.

What kind of language do you speak back home? Anyone speak French or Brazilian Portuguese?

_{[... uh, that's a rock in your lap. But okay.]}

I speak English. Aren't everybody speaking that here?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

[Yes. Yes it is.]

No no no- like, you think you're speaking English, but then when you seriously think about it when you're talking, it's like- what the hell is this?

And there's apparently a bunch of people who don't speak English, but somehow still understand everyone else. It's weird as hell.

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[... okay, she's thinking about it now, trying to identify what he's telling her.]}

... I've talked to a lot of people with names that don't sound English. So I guess you're right.

That's probably a good thing though. It's easier than if we'd have to signal each other or something.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Oh, yeah, definitely, but it's still super weird, right? I think my brain'd break completely if I thought about it too much.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Then maybe you shouldn't think about it!

_{[Immediately teasing.]}

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

I'm trying! But the more I tell myself not to think about it, I think about it!

[video]

[walkersystem]

You should try thinking about something else!

Like what weird animals they have here. You can tell some of them are almost normal, but then others are really not.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

What's the weirdest one you've seen so far?

[video]

[walkersystem]

The one that just looks like goo. Have you seen it?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

I think they's, like... A couple that look like goo?? What color was it?

[video]

[walkersystem]

They're supposed to be pink, but the one I saw was blue.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

...Okay I got nothing. I don't think I've seen one like that.

[video]

[walkersystem]

You probably will! They're called Ditto. Apparently a lot of breeders have them, but I don't know where you can catch them.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Oh, I've heard of those! But I haven't seen one in person. You said you have one, right?

[video]

[walkersystem]

No, I have a bird. And a raccoon, and one that looks a bit like a bunny.

But i know someone who has one.

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah? They have names, like, ones you've given 'em?

[video]

[walkersystem]

Yeah! Aria, Meeko and Scott.

Did you name yours?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

Yeah! [He props up his Solrock.] This one is named Dedeira!

[video]

[walkersystem]

How did you come up with that?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

It's from capoeira- have you ever heard of that?

[video]

[walkersystem]

_{[Shakes head!]}

Is that a language?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

No- it's a kind of martial arts, and also a dance! It's from Brazil, where my dad is from.

[video]

[walkersystem]

Cool! What does the thing you picked mean?

[video]

[fourwayconnection]

It's a move you're not supposed to use in normal situations where you go for the eyes! It's a sneaky move, but this rockhead- [He pats his Solrock between its spines.] -tried to get the drop on me so I thought it was really fitting!

[video]

[walkersystem]

What, like he attacked you?

He didn't do that, did he?
