Jump. [Her ugly dog, who'd wandered off to sniff things, comes back and looks expectantly up at her.] Can you remember what a pen or pencil is? [The dog nods, a sharp but weirdly human gesture.] Can you bring one of either to me? [Another nod, and the dog trots off.]
[Mindelan shakes her head.] I recognize the characters, but they're not Common letters, they're kanji in a language I don't understand. I can't sound it out. [She wraps the charcoal stick back in the dirty bit of cloth it had been in before and stows it.] I could say what each character means, but they probably have different meanings in different languages. [Such are the issues with lographic writing. ...And mun has no idea what the meanings would be.]
I don't think it would play like Street Fighter. [Well, she's waiting for Jump anyway. A bit warily, Min touches something on the console, and the Start Menu comes up.]
