.. .. .. .. ..
[A new face shows up on the feed with a cool countenance and a pair of blocky shades obscuring his eyes. He tips his head just enough for the sunglasses to catch the light from the laptop screen and glint, but he says nothing for a good, long moment.
And while it might go unnoticed, he swallows. He begins to mumble to himself. (Hover over the text for translation.)]
...
... 
... 
...
[Struggling to find the words to introduce himself, Machi grips onto his arm. Nobody here would understand Borginian, but that was the only way he was used to introducing himself. He angles his head downward for a moment.]
... ...This language, I understand little. I try learn... learning it. I must. Excuse my poor speaking.
My name is Machi Tobaye. Here, I am s-student... Never do school, before. No big school. Me, I do piano, like piano. ... ...
Sorry.
... I not speak well, yet. I want improve. I want practice. So, please talk with me.

[video too]
I'm Hilda, nice to meetcha! Sweet shades. You been playin' piano long?
[all vidyas]
Yes. Very long. Eleven years. More years, maybe.
[But if he's ever going to learn, he'd better ask, even though he feels a bit embarrassed about asking what was probably such a stupid question.]
... ...What is, "sweet shades"?
[always and forever (for this thread, at least)]
Holy smokes, dude! You must be awesome at it!
Oh, uh, "sweet shades" means, like... "I dig--" No, um... "Your shad--" Hold on... ... It's like, "I like your sunglasses!"

[He wonders if pretending to be blind means that he shouldn't have an opinion on how they look. Time to pretend it never happened.....]
Awesome with piano, no. I still practicing many times. Good, but can be more better.

Hey! Where ya from, Machi? You like it here so far?
no subject
[It was hard to give an enthusiastic answer when he was feeling a little shaken up by this new place and homesick for a place he couldn't go back to. He doesn't even try. He shrugs halfheartedly.]
In time, maybe more...
no subject
If you need a hand findin' stuff and everything's still where I remember it I could totally try to show ya around sometime, if you want!
no subject
[ARGH, but "showing him around" should be pointless! He's pretending to be blind, so it would be mostly useless to him. He doesn't want to lie outright, but he also can't accept so easily anymore.]
...Is helpful, I think. If you can show me.
no subject
You got it! I still gotta run around campus to see if anyplaces moved, but after that I can totally give you a tour!
no subject
... ...Alright. Tell me, when you done this.
HAHA I FUDGED UP BAD
