OHMIGEWDNESH!!

[Pinoko's making a very ridiculous expression, eyes wide and practically bulging, while she squishes her cheeks in with her hands.]

Thish ticking's driving Pinoko crazy!

Tick-tock-tick-tock-tick-tock, every day, all day!

Why won't thish dumb clock SHUT UP already?!

[After that, she huffs indignantly and places her hands on her hips.]

... do we have peach twees around here? Pinoko's been smelling peaches shinche thish morning! [While she asks her question, she taps her finger against her lip, then blinks.]

Wait. [She licks her finger, then smiles.] Yum! Pinoko tashtesh peaches too! Or maybe Pinoko tashtesh like peaches! Or is Pinoko Peach? No, wait, that was Fumoon.

Sh-shomeone put a curshe on Pinoko?! [Why are you smiling, this isn't funny, she's tearing up and clinging to her bedding because of how terrified she is! She scares easily, especially of strange, supernatural things!] Whyyyy?

What'd Pinoko ever do to anybody?! Pinoko doesn't wanna turn into a peach, waaaaaah!!

[Yikes okay that was the wrong thing to say!]

No, no, I mean a City curse. You know, the events that happen sometimes? They aren't always bad. Sometimes people just taste like different ice cream flavors. You're not gong to turn into a peach.

[Now, she's just quietly sniffling, because the comforting was working. Good job, Uhura!]

Really...? Jusht flavours? That's not too bad, maybe...

But they turned back the next day, didn't they? The curses are only temporary, and as far as I know, this one just makes you smell like peaches. It's nice, isn't it?

[pinokosthewife]

Nyota-shan has a nyo, kind of like a kitty-cat sound! That's really cute!

Pinoko's has a pi, like a baby chick's chirping.

[universaltranslator]

You're right! Do you like baby chicks?

video;

[pinokosthewife]

Aww, who doesn't? They're sho cute!

Pinoko likes all cute animals and pretty birdies! But, not shpiders. Definitely not shpiders!

[universaltranslator]

But spiders make such pretty webs. I like them.

[pinokosthewife]

Yeah, pretty webs that are really high up and you don't even notiche them until WHAM, you hit the wall while shweeping a whole dozen'a those little buggers come down like little bungee jumpers with too many legs all shkitter-shkitter-shkitter!

[She shivers at the unpleasant memory.] Brrr!

[universaltranslator]

[That makes Uhura laugh.] Okay, yeah, that sounds unpleasant. I hope that doesn't happen often to you.
