AUDIO: Whoops.

[kingtyrantranger]

[Whoops. That'd been a thing for a while.

His voice snaps onto the omnicomm, filled with good humor. Jason's still not comfortable with the omnicomm's video function, especially since he's still having to dot his face with anti-fungal cream.]

I'm gonna start this off with a warning. Doublecheck to be sure that the mail you're opening is actually yours. I had to figure that out when I accidentally picked up something meant for Brainiac 5. The good news is that I'm now out of quarantine and the med techs are pretty sure I'm not going to grow any more mushrooms.

Thanks, guys. I don't know if I can look at a pizza the same way again, though.

[He'd spent most of the past few weeks trying to learn the Interlac alphabet on his own, without the earpieces translating for him. Might keep those mix-ups from happening again.

His voice takes on a wry tone, almost apologetic.]

So it sounds like I missed some action and a few new romances. Sorry about that, gang. For the new guys I missed, hey. I'm Jason, from Angel Grove, California, and I don't really do anything exciting. Nice to meet you all.

[In case you can't hear his brain rattling from over the audio line, Jason's shaking his head.]

Nah, it was all my fault. I'm having a hard time with some of the accents, even with the telepathic earplugs. I was hanging out in one of the cargo bays, talking to one of the lifters. [She'd been cute. Two too many arms, but still cute.] Anyway, I thought she said that it was a package from Brainiac 5 and she actually wanted me to take it to Brainiac 5.

Could have happened to anyone, I bet.

[mirror_soldier]

I see.

[It still seemed like something the lifter should have delivered their self instead of leaving the burden to someone relatively new to Legion World, but it was more understandable.]

Is this the first time the issue of understanding accents has been this big of a problem since you've been here?

[kingtyrantranger]

Well, little problems, sure, but not that big a problem. Then again, they didn't exactly have a human mouth and I'm pretty sure we sound like dorks when we get translated into their language, so it probably isn't cool to talk about it much.

[mirror_soldier]

[ There's a short pause where he makes a noncommittal noise. ]

Do you know if they were speaking Interlac or did it sound like something else?

[kingtyrantranger]

[He shrugs. Not that it translates well over the audio.]

I dunno. I had the translator bud in my ear. Sorry.
