we got it! translations!
its under the cut. also not every noise they make correlates with a whole sentence so those didnt get translated, sometimes its just the vibes, but otherwise the translation would be “[gestures vaguely] you know?”
Chapter 1:
Chapter 2:
-theres only 1 interaction here and it more or less is sun going “please eat” and being frustrated that this thing is refusing food
- He chirps and holds his closed hand out to you, wiggling peeper in it. Like a repeat of last time, his free hand darts towards you as you flinch. The peeper in his grasp is deposited in your hand as he curls your fingers tightly around it. Once satisfied, he lets go of your hand with a chirp and stares at your face expectantly. [”I got you food! Here, take it!”]
- You shake your head and hope that's the universal gesture for no. Sun whistles and brings you closer towards him, arms holding your sides, but you kick and flail until he stops and brings you back to your prior distance. [”It’s fine to eat. Don’t worry, there’s nothing bad with it!”]
- Your eyes widen when what sounds like a dog's whine comes from Sun. His hands hold your helmet and he gently tilts your head around. [”Where’s your mouth? How do you eat? Do you have no mouth?”]
- Sun chirps, waving a hand with peeper chunks in it. [”There’s your mouth!” Sun is also thinking about how he’s never seen something with a false, retractable face before. like woaw thats neat]
Chapter 3:
- Sun whines and brings the scanner close to his face. He yelps and drops it when the scanner's light turns on directly into his eyes. [It’s like asking a dog for the ball back so you can throw it again.]
- Sun whistles. He holds both of his arms out, as though asking for a hug. [”It’s ok, it’s safe! Come here.”]
- Sun whistles once more, before disappearing beneath the waves. [”Hope you get better soon.”]
- Sun trills in response and picks you up before you can blink. The hand holding the knife stutters as you were about to instinctively stab Sun. Didn’t actually stab him, thankfully. [”Hello!”]
- Not-Sun growls from beneath. Sun stares down and screeches. [”What was that about?” / “DON’T TOUCH THEM!”]
- There's silence for a while, before Not-Sun trills. Sun growls. Not-Sun hesitates, then whistles. Sun shakes his head minutely, then whistles twice in quick succession. [”Did you take in another little one?” / “Not little. Back off.” / “Oh. ...sorry.” / “We’ll talk about this later.”]
Chapter 4:
- Sun croons and shifts towards you. It's super cramped in the pod with him taking up majority of the space, but where in the everliving fuck do you even begin to get a leviathan out? [”Are you ok?”]
- Sun purrs and taps his hands on the hard floors. [The cat purring thing helping with the healing process or something like that.]
- You close the hatch. Sun clicks again. [”What are you doing?”]
- Two quick chirps has you looking up to see Sun holding a peeper in one hand and a bladderfish on the other. [Just trying to grab Y/N’s attention.]
- Sun croons and lowers himself down to the ground, right next to the peeper you killed. The spots on his body glows. [”Good job on the kill!”]
- You dig out your PDA and open the page for Celestial Leviathan. He peers over the screen, trills and taps lightly on the screen at his mirror image. [”Is that me?”]
- You pick the peeper up, the one you managed to kill, and present it to Sun. He tilts his head and chirps. [”Hm?”]
- A quick chirp sounds behind you. When you turn around, all you can see is a giant coral tube—oh, that’s what he’s trying to do. Think he can hide, can he? [Trying to grab attention again.]
- A red fish swims towards you at alarming speeds. Sun cuts it off before it can reach you with his body, and hisses back at it. With another hiss from Sun, the crashfish swims back and into the flower-like plant that closes around it. [”Safe! Safe! There is no threat.”]
- Sun goes back into the water, his bioluminescent spots flickering on and off like a light show. [”This is where I am.” Message meant for Moon.]
- Sun hums and turns back around to face Moon. The two talk to each other with clicks and growls, and while that’s absolutely fascinating, you’re sweating a little. [More or less Sun going “this is my skrunkly. Don’t hurt them.” and Moon going “cool.” Moon is also discussing his frustrations that Sun decided to take someone under his care and Sun is reassuring Moon that it will turn out okay.]
- Sun growls. A few moments pass before he turns around and grabs your arms and holds them to your sides. You yelp and kick your feet. With your arms pinned, there’s no way you can do anything. You kick behind you as hard as you can, but your feet meets nothing but water. [”Play nice.” Mostly meant for Moon.]
- Something bumps against your helmet. You crack an eye open, and nearly startle when you see the red of Moon’s eyes right next to your face. Without leaving your personal space, Moon whistles and continues to stare at you. [”It’s ok, I won’t hurt you.”]
Chapter 5:
- Moon backs off and whistles once more. Sun rumbles, not quite a growl, and that gets Moon to swim away. [”Sorry.” / “We’re done here. Go.”]
- Moon tilts his head, eyes focusing on the blood seeping out from your arm. [Is the blood a different colour?]
- Moon doesn't stop staring, and you back off slowly, sweating. It's you who breaks off the staring contest first, looking off to the side but still keeping him in your vision. Moon laughs in his imperfect imitation again. [He wants to see what happens if he keeps staring. Can he psyche them out?]
- You don’t get a chance to think about it. There’s the roar of a stalker below you, and it’s rapidly approaching. [This is gonna be so funny. Watch them get scared.]
- Moon clicks and stalker-roars again. Just for the hell of it, you suppose. [”Hey.” Ruse is over.]
- Moon clicks again and slows down. Still right behind you, but not as close as he was earlier. [Laughing.]
Chapter 6:
- Moon clicks and laughs in your voice again. “Hide away,” he croons, “Nighty-night.” [Laughing again.]
- You hear a snarl, as all of a sudden, Moon blocks your path forward. [”Where are you going?”]
- Moon growls again and points behind you, back to the direction of your pod. [”Go back. You should be asleep.”]
- He growls and stares at you with dilated pupils. You clench your hands and whistle the note Sun taught you: I’m sorry. Moon squints, and for a few moments, you’re sure he’s about to snap. [”That hurts.” And then he thinks: of course Sun taught them our words.]
- He responds back in his own language. You recognize two words in his sentence: the name Sun gave to you, and Sun's name. [”What did Sun call you? The Horizon?”]
- You whistle Sun's name. Moon is still for a second, before repeating what you said. You whistle it again. [He taught them his name?]
- Moon breaks the silence. He whistles, then, in a perfect imitation of your voice, says, "Moon." He repeats the whistle. [Then I’ll teach them my name.]
- Moon wails, louder than you've ever heard. You flinch and shut your eyes. [We’re too far away for Sun to reasonably find us, so... “WAKE UP!!! WAKE UP!!!”]
- The same piercing wail cries off in the distance. It peters off into a series of clicks, and then a sharp whistle of—Moon's name, huh. [”SHUT THE HELL YOUR ASS, MOON. FUCK!!!”]
- Moon chitters. [Laughing.]
- Moon clicks in response. [”That was hilarious, right?”]
- Moon hisses and slinks backwards, back out of the compartment and into the water. His head pops back up through the hatch, with only his eyes above water. He squints and chitters. [”Ow. But you should’ve seen your face.”]
- There's a whine, and you look towards Moon with a raised eyebrow. He whines again, and that's when you realize it wasn't coming from him but from someone else outside. [”Moon. Moooon!”]
- You whistle Sun's name, and get a response back as he whistles the name he gave you before whining again. [”Horizon! Mooooon come outside, I don’t want to be here anymore.”]
- You play back the audio file straight from the beginning. Sun whines and curls in further to make himself smaller. Moon whistles again. [They’re mad at me. / “Sun, it’s ok.”]
- Sun snaps his head towards you and flattens his frills. Moon raises his head up to look at you before looking away again and closing his eyes. Moon whistles and holds his hand out towards Sun. Sun doesn't take it. [They know. They know and they’re mad about it. No. No. I fucked up. I--but I have to make it better!]
{Note: Will not lie, Moon sucks at comforting words. His specialty is just holding someone until they calm down. He doesn’t know what to do outside of that scenario.}
- Sun is getting closer, whistling. The whistles he makes sounds familiar but you're not in the mood to try and remember its meaning. [”I’m sorry!”]
