we can burn brighter; shine bright; carry me home tonight;
Characters: Ken and everyone.
Setting: A few different floors around the tower.
Format: Either works.
Summary: Ken's taking care of a few of his normal, self-imposed 'chores'/daily tasks. That doesn't mean he's going to go undisturbed during them, though!
Warnings: Possible languagebecause Strega, otherwise nothing.
[Floor 1]
[While it isn't something he thinks he's best at, Ken is decent at cooking. Someone might catch him in the morning making eggs, or in the evenings making stew, sometimes throwing in some meat that he's managed to catch on the forest level. ... It's almost always a bit burnt due to killing it with electrical attacks, but it's edible at least.]
[Floor 3]
[Even though he doesn't have to read anything serious, Ken can often be found in the late mornings and early afternoons in the library, reading. Sometimes it's fiction - usually fantastical with a minimum of science involved - but more and more often he can be seen with a paper and pencil and a large and very confusing-looking book. It's less the sort of book that an eleven year old should be reading and more of a book that you squash bugs with if they're giant and huge.]
[Upon further inspection, the book can be revealed as a law book, though if the contents are to be read without Ken snapping the book away the person in question will have to either be very sneaky or approach the book on the frequent occasion that Ken gets up to find a dictionary again. He really should just keep it with him.]
[Floor 30]
[Ken can be found on this floor, too. Yes, the monsters on the level are dangerous, but Ken makes frequent retreats to the stairs. He's not dumb enough to get caught in a giant rush of monsters againhopefully, but he's not taking it easy, either. Sometimes he needs to sit down and rest for a few minutes before trying again, and this is probably a good chance to try to talk to him.]

[He writes '天田 乾' on the paper, making a specific effort to write in Japanese.]
'Amada Ken'.
[He points to the first one.]
Ama - sky. Or heaven, if you pronounce it a different way, since kanji can be pronounced a bunch of different ways.
[He points to the second one.]
Ta, or da in this case. It means rice field and it's really common to have at the end of a family name.
[And then the third one.]
Ken, which means 'healthy' or 'strong' when used as a name, I think. But when that kanji is by itself, it means northwest.
[He then writes 'やまだ けん' out.]
That's my name in hiragana. It's for Japanese words only.
[Then he writes 'ロミオ'.]
That's your name in katakana, which is for foreign words.
no subject
So your name means Strong and your other name means rice field in heaven? [More looking at strange symbols] So that means Amada Ken too? But it's different than that one. [Pointing at the first]
And that one is Romeo? Wow you're really clever Ken you know three ways of writing!

[He draws a 1 on the page.]
This is one, right? One is one, but you can spell it out, too.
[Trying to remember English classes... right. He writes out 'o - n - e'.]
It's kind of like that, in some ways.
[He writes '乾 = けん = K - e - n'.]
You can spell out the symbol, but it still means the same thing whether you spell it out or not, right?
no subject
Oh so Japanese has a symbol for every word ever? But you can write it in letters as well? Do you know all the symbols? There must be hundreds and hundreds!
no subject
I only know Japanese and a little English... I don't know Italian. I hear you talking to me in Japanese.
[So this is a little weird.]
Most words, I think. Foreign names are always spelled out though. I don't know all of the symbols, but I know probably about eight hundred? You learn about two hundred a year if I remember right... but I haven't been to school in two years.

[He opens up the dictionary he has at hand, and points to a word.]
'Heart, noun. 1a: a hollow muscular organ of vertebrate animals that by its rhythmic'... yeah yeah.
I think in languages like Italian they'll have them in alphabetical order.
