Why do you think I had Wynn have a translation charm on her?

She sure as hell doesn't speak "heathen" languages such as Japanese.  She's not multilingual like Forest, Angel, and Gabriel are.  Wynn can speak several languages, but half of those she speaks are pretty much dead except in certain parts of Ireland.

D. Archer is fluent in English and can make by in Mandarin Chinese and Korean.

Everyone knows the common language of every fantasy setting is [insert audience language here].

Meaning Luka has always been speaking English-by-another-name. Unless we were all fluent in Japanese and then he'd be speaking Japanese by default instead.

This is a bit of bypass but people born on Avatar are able to understand other languages so long as they have at least a little magic flowing inside of them. (It's actually an interesting plot point that prevents people from avatar bring able to watch Earth TV as it only works with people.)

Also here's what Downy just did to the monsters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECNZtbsOBnw&list=PLNVKJAlh0-O8L1obP7SEMBqw26TvDFkG7#t=510

He can't understand anyone right now, but once he's gotten out of his hunger frenzy Marius can speak Latin, Koine Greek, Aramaic and Celtic. He knows a few swear words in other languages from having them directed at him.

Valda speaks German, English, French, and a little Spanish. She also speaks an eldritch primordial tongue that predates human existence and is fundamental to the source code of the universe, which is a lot less useful than she would like right now.

I'll let Elf get a post in before I respond, unless she doesn't want to?

I feel bad for Finn. :(

Dude had finally raised a flag and then... Oh well.
Yay, Daiki's back! :D

And yeah, poor Finn. :( His luck might turn around later though. :)

And Vanessa is a werewolf now, huh? O_O Did Isa turn and bite her? Or is Isa the werewolf and she took Ruu and Nessa with her?

And as for languages... both Rin and Archer are probably bilingual in Japanese and English, Hakuno speaks Japanese, Finn and Mille speak English, though it's possible Finn picked up bits from other languages as well, and Tom can pretty much pick up whatever language anyone is speaking via his telepathy, though he knows English, Japanese, and some French on his own.

Probably not worth worrying too much about, though. Especially since it'd be a lot to keep track of really.

Besides running the forum, I can provide avatars for people as well~
This is my mod voice. ...Most of the time anyway.

Oh and Daiki.

What he fuck just happened?

 Vanessa wanted (max compulsive need level) to hug Ruu.

They run at full speed, Ruu jumps in the room, she jumps too and catches him(body tackle would be more appropriate), momentum too high, they fly through a window, land outside.

Don't pay attention.

And Vanessa is a werewolf now, huh? O_O Did Isa turn and bite her? Or is Isa the werewolf and she took Ruu and Nessa with her?

Haha, no. But that's my bad for not being clear about it.

That was Ruu's depiction of it(with lots of imagination of his). She's creepy like that when she wants something. For Ruu it's rather traumatic. It's night, and something/someone looks at him with bloodshot eyes. Plus she had bed hair, with most of it hiding her face. He sensed something ominous about it and ran away. Her destroying the floor is probably just reinforcement of some sort... 

tldr; That was just a girl running after a child, only, both were a bit too much into it.

Vanessa would probably kidnap him or Kiyoshi, if given the chance. Be careful.

Luka speaks. That's about the best I can say for him.

I'll be bullshitting it as one of the spirits translating for him passively with a spell or something like that, since there's literally only one language in his world and it's probably gibberish to anyone outside of it.

Whichever one dealt with air, probably.

Sir Bonesington speaks Common, Thalassian, Dwarvish, Nerubian, Orcish, Zandali, Gnomish, and Goblin.

Thing is, when he was in the modern world he only ever spoke Common and assumed everyone else did too. Little did he know he was speaking English. So the language of the elves is logically French.

He probably has some universal translation spell too.

Henderson is fluent in about every language.

No excuse for Jack though, probably should be thinking Kiyoshi, Rin and "Taiga" are speaking gibberish.

Ahhh, ok, gotcha. ...Poor Ruu. ^_^" The scary wolf girl wants to take him home with her.

And as for Jack, eh, don't worry too much about it. I did the same thing with Hakuno really, since technically she should only be able to understand Japanese, and with Mille, who should really only understand English and some Irish.

Honestly, if anyone needs to be careful it's her. If she kidnaps Kiyoshi she's got a mythological monster and a very pissed-off mother after her....

No excuse for Jack though, probably should be thinking Kiyoshi, Rin and "Taiga" are speaking gibberish.

Yeah....
