@soundofmind the whole plot of this SB is Japan not wanting to open up to foreign relations, so your first idea is kind of off the table. The second idea, however, could work.
@Sheyren THATS WHAT I THOUGHT HAHA SORRY im just sucky w/ideas but yeah!!! I thought it'd be interesting if like, Ueda kinda doesnt mind hangin with the outcasts (whichi assume a Christian english missionary would be) since he's a peaceful dude. He'd probs enjoy talking about their shared values and stuff once they learned some words?? Like i figure they'd teach each other - the missionary teaching him english words and him teaching them japanese
But i also figure a missionary would get kicked out eventually sINCE they dont want no foreigners, so maybe the missionary is gone now but Ueda still knows enough english to tread water in a conversation
If its been a few years and he's outta practice it'd takea while for him to get back in the groove of speaking it. Or at least thats what my multi-lingual friends have expressed to me when they've had to switch back and forth. Its not easy as flippin a switch
BUT YEAH IF ANY OF THIS SEEMS LIKE "nah man thats wrong" feel free to correct me or suggest something better cuz im all ears
I love the idea, but how bout the missionary was killed by the japanese? It would give Ueda a darker history, and it would make readers really question who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. Up to you though, since he's your character.
Okay! So, I've decided to start working on the first post, and I'll aim for it to be up as soon as possible. @Shota, just make your character when you get a chance.
@Wolfical, you're next to post. Temporarily, Masumi will serve as a translator during their conversation. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Yesss! Fabulous post! I was going to work on So7 tonight but I might have to do this one first d:
