SCENE: Interior, Woofnsqrl Living Incorporated. Evening.
Sqrl: *close book* "This "Alice in the Country of Hearts" manga is seriously screwed up. And adorable. And screwed up BECAUSE it's adorable. And so on. I have the uneasy feeling I shouldn't like ANY of these people, but I do! ... But I only have two volumes. Hmm."
Internet: *boop bweoo fweeeee beep*
Sqrl: "Three translated volumes, you say? Well. I can't afford to scramble after part 3 so quickly. What else is there?"
Internet: *beedly boop*
Sqrl: "Japanese PC games, you say?"
Internet: *fweep fweep fweep*
Sqrl: "Dating sims, you say. For girls, you say."
Internet: *bwaaaap*
Sqrl: "Sorry. I'll stop repeating everything you say. But this has... potential..."
JUMP-CUT TO HOURS LATER
Sqrl: "...so I feed the machine translation software into this... and download this... and run this... BWAHAHAHA! I WILL ROMANCE HOT GUYS IN WONDERLAND FROM MY VERY OWN HOME!"
FADE OUT TO TITLE CARD:
~We regret to inform you that the sqrl has briefly fallen prey to memetic influences beyond our control and will probably be a complete fruit loop for the next few weeks. Thank you for your understanding.~
[Afterthought: Maybe this is what I should use Dreamwidth for. Keeping a running "translation" of this game as I try to play it. Hmm.]
