006 [Accidental audio // Italian + Open commentlog]

[booze]

[There is a little boy wandering aimlessly around the Elegante, innocent red eyes taking in all of the unfamiliar surroundings. He isn't even aware that he's on a boat right now. Despite the curiosity showing in his eyes, there is also a bit of fear. After all, he's just a kid, and he's all alone. No Mom.

He starts fiddling with the device in his hand, pressing random buttons and switches. Xanxus isn't even aware that it's broadcasting what he's saying right now.]

What is this?

[To make things worse, he can't even read what's on the screen. So he just keeps pressing random buttons for a little while longer until he finally gives up trying to figure the thing out.]

...Whatever. I need to find Mom.

[Pocketing the communicator, Xanxus continues to wander about the ship, searching every nook and cranny for his mother. She has to be somewhere around here, right?]



(( Yes, for those of you who are familiar with Reborn, this little!Xanxus has been mentally and physically taken from before he was sent to live with the Ninth. Canon doesn't state his exact age in this time period, so I'm just going to say he's seven. And while he is stubborn and distant, he isn't exactly a short-tempered, spoiled brat yet, since canon states he develops a nasty temper after the Ninth spoils him.

Just figured I should give some background info on that. \o/ Feel free to audio tag or commentlog, whatever you want~ You can find Xanxus just about anywhere on the ship except other people's rooms. And the Carnival. And any other dangerous areas. ))

ooc: question

[consummateturk.livejournal.com]

Does he speak any Common or Japanese?

ooc: answer!

[booze]

No, only Italian. And he's illiterate. ;;; If you want to tag, they'll like.... have to use sign language or something lmfao.

[commentlog] LET US DO THIS

[Oh the ship has so much on it! Veld's been wandering and looking at everything that is going on. He's amazed excited. He nearly runs into the little boy. First he tries to speak in Japanese.]

Hello there, are you lost?

[commentlog] HUZZAH ♥

[booze]

[Whoa, whoa, whoa! Xanxus jumps back a bit when the older boy nearly runs into him, but he quickly regains his composure and looks up at the teenager. ...What is he saying?]

...

[commentlog]

[consummateturk.livejournal.com]

[Okay, Japanese isn't working. Maybe Common?]

You Alright? Not lost?

[commentlog]

[booze]

[If only... Xanxus is even more confused now. And wary. Not sure what the stranger is going to do now, he puts some more distance between them.]

[commentlog]

[consummateturk.livejournal.com]

[Veld frowned and then started to think of another way to communicate. He motioned to the signs that labeled the deck and then pointed to the deck between them. Worth a try]

[commentlog]

[booze]

[The confused look is still there. And, without really thinking, he says in Italian:]

What are you trying to say?

[commentlog]

[consummateturk.livejournal.com]

[Veld points to himself and then says his name] Verudo.[] Maybe this would help?]

[Audio]

[lilstndrdpckge.livejournal.com]

...What th' fuck did ya' just say?

[Audio // Italian] this will be a delightful conversation

[booze]

[Whoa, was that a voice? Xanxus pulls the communicator out again and starts pressing buttons again.]

What was-- [Oops, he accidentally turned the audio off there.]

[Audio // Common]Oh, it will

[lilstndrdpckge.livejournal.com]

What?

[No, really. Jinx doesn't know about the functions of his communicator.]

[Audio // Italian] also little!jinx is soooo adorable ♥

[booze]

[Let's accidentally turn the audio back on again!]

Huh?

[Audio // Common] ♥ The ship is full of adorbs today~

[lilstndrdpckge.livejournal.com]

Yer speakin' gibberish, Buddy.

[Audio // Italian] yes it is :D

[booze]

What are you saying...?

[Text]

[lilstndrdpckge.livejournal.com]

[...Jinx looks all over that communicator for anything--anything that might help.

Bingo.]

What?

[Audio // Italian]

[booze]

[That would have been very helpful indeed, if Xanxus's mother could afford to send him to school. But nope, he's completely illiterate. And the noise that the communicator makes when the message comes in startles him, and Jinx should hear a bang as Xanxus drops the communicator.]

Wh-what is that thing...?

[His voice sounds more distant, but is still audible.]

[Castiel is wandering around when he spots a small boy in the hallway.]

Are you alright?

[commentlog]

[booze]

[Xanxus stops and stares up at the teenager for a moment.]

...

[He is a stranger, and he speaks some weird language. Yeah, backing the fuck up now.]

[commentlog]

[thursdayevents.livejournal.com]

[Oh crap, he's scared him. Maybe he should try some different languages? Lots of people seem to be speaking different languages today. He switches to German first, holding his hands up in that universal "I come in peace" signal.]

Do you speak German?

[commentlog]

[booze]

[Nope, try again. Xanxus does sort of understand the signal, though, and stops once again. However, he's giving the stranger a wary look, ready to make a run for it if he does anything suspicious.]

[commentlog]

[thursdayevents.livejournal.com]

[Hmm. Maybe some other European language. Castiel just cycles through a few languages, asking the name of the language in each language he tries.]

French? Spanish? Italian? Russian?

[commentlog]

[booze]

[Oh hey, he got it. Xanxus will speak now.]

...You speak Italian...?

[commentlog]

[thursdayevents.livejournal.com]

[Oh finally, it would have been awkward to sit here cycling through every language he knows.

Have a small, awkward smile.]

I speak lots of languages. Are you alright?

[commentlog]

[booze]

[He really isn't, but he doesn't want some stranger to know that...]

I'm fine.
