"How's a language die?"

"If everybody who speaks it also picks up another language, because that one's more popular, and then they don't bother teaching their kids the old one because everyone they might need to talk to speaks the more popular one. Or if the language changes over time so much that it turns into a new language." Yawn.

"Oh, I guess when people die then so can languages."

Fika yawns too.

"Or if the people all get worse at speaking it. That's where Entep is now. Some people know how but they don't practice much."

Bedtime.

Bedtime!

In the morning Fika talks a bunch about how she's gonna find clothes today!

"Oh, that's good, you've been in those every time I've seen you."

"Mhm."

"You know a good place to find new ones?"

"Not here, no, I brought my clothes from home."

"Oh. I can look for places I guess."

"You should get a pocket everything. ... if you can read, I don't know if it'll help if you can't read."

"I can't read Amentan languages, just like I can't speak em."

She is still speaking in Cryptophasia.

"Well, if you can read Cryptophasia I think they have that working in the local versions of the apps now."

"Would need to know what sounds all the letters made, some Cryptophasia is only spoken I think."

"Oh. You could get a text to speech app?"

"How?"

"Downloading it I guess. I can help you with this if you get an everything and bring it here. Bedtime now though."

Fika snuggles up for bed - she will find an everything or clothes tomorrow. 

Snuggly little alien <3

In the morning Fika is off to find things! She wanders around to see what she finds first, an everything place or a clothes place.

Clothes place is first, though it's a big people clothes place.

Oooh! This is just like a forest of bushes with really big leaves! Cept 'stead of branches there's racks of hanging things and 'stead of leaves there's clothes!

She swings through the clothing forest giggling a bunch.

This gets a purple catching her in midair. "Hey there! You're knocking clothes down and when they fall on the floor we have to clean them and put them away again!"

"Oh!"

"That's not how I'm used to bushes working. I guess I've never seen clothes bushes before."

"- they don't grow here, we hang them up."

"Oh, that's a silly way of making a bush. Why'd you do that?"
