Here's a question about languages: how do those work ICly?
Example: A character is bilingual, but only very literate in one of those two languages. Are there the usual handwave-y language game-shenanigans going on for Portes which would allow them to understand someone who spoke a language they don't know? Or would they have to figure out an alternate method of communicating with them?
Bonus question: assuming there are indeed shenanigans at work, then as they're quite literate in one of their two languages, but not the other, would this mean that their attempts to write something to another character would be easy to comprehend, vs being a phonetically-spelled mess, based on which language they were attempting to write in?
Bonus bonus question: as the language they're literate in is Japanese, does this mean other characters would be able to simply understand the kanji as well as the kana, assuming shenanigans? Or would it only apply to written language?
...Or is this just one of those sorts of things that hasn't really been brought up yet/played with much, and is totally available to be fudged for whatever's most interesting and works out to be most fun for the muns involved?
