Himemiya Rie Has Wilhelmina Frost Translate Her Risque Posts Into Early Modern English

PHASE CONNECT — Himemiya Rie of Phase Connect (Phase 02 - ALiAS) spent a 97-minute collab stream with Wilhelmina Frost having a series of risque messages rewritten as period-style royal proclamations, with Frost acting as the translator and a visible “magic parchment” showing each result.

Rie played a princess in need of a speechwriter and Frost a knight on loan from an allied kingdom. Rie said the messages had come to her in a time of clarity and were imperative to the survival of the nation, and both warned viewers that their historical knowledge was shaky. The first message, a bluntly worded come-on, came back as a line about unsheathing a sword and handling a blade forthwith. A grumble about the fan-fiction site Archive of Our Own, then down for maintenance, became a complaint that the kingdom’s scriptorum had been out of commission for a week. A cat-roleplay post was rendered with a “Hark!” and the reading “Hark 13” for its emoticon.

“It’s just the dialect of the Phase world.” — Himemiya Rie and Wilhelmina Frost, on the stream’s made-up English

The stretch of messages that followed ran from a post about wanting an older brother, translated as a desire for “a bond of kinship” with an older male blood relative, to a long, escalating message that Frost recast in alliterative verse. It began “devoid of oil, devoid of sheath” and ran from chamber to chapel and from basement to battlements. Both laughed as the poem grew, and Rie called the result a work for the ages. The last message, a “GG easy” taunt, was turned into a claim that the bout had been “nary a trifle.”

The conversation then turned to Omegaverse, a fan-fiction genre that Rie explained to Frost, before the two wrapped up with plans for a private-chamber sword demonstration, a promise of fruit gelatin, and a closing greeting ending in “good night, with a K.”

Chat followed the wordplay closely, and the stream drew 18 Super Chats.
