Cross Species Communications - Monday - 7th Period (Week 4)

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter had a call from Miss Poppins informing him that she was being called away at the last minute (something about getting her uncle off the ceiling? WTF?) and that it was his duty as TA to ensure that today's class went off properly.

As such he stood in front of the class and waited for everyone to be signed in and seated. And because he was just more comfortable this way, there was a setup of tea, biscuits (cookies for you heathens,) and coffee for those who just can't appreciate the finer things.

"Right, then, Miss Poppins won't be here today, but she left instructions for what we're supposed to do.

"We're reviewing Canine and Dolphin today. Pair off with someone. One of you will select Canine, the other Dolphin, and you will speak only in your chosen language. No English.

"Interview your partner in your chosen language and write down both your questions and your partner's answer in English and vice versa. No peeking at each other's sheets.

"Once that's done, Miss Poppins also wants us to translate nursery rhymes into both Canine and Dolphin. When that's complete, turn in your interviews and your nursery rhymes and you're free to go."

[ooc: Apologies for the lateness of this class posting. I wasn't expecting to do this today, but we've got it under control now.]

Interview your partner

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

One in Canine, one in Dolphin, no English.

Good luck.

Jude looked around nervously for a partner. Oh this was going to be fun.

In a way that was completely no fun at all, of course.

Willow waved. "Hi, Jude. Want to be partnery?"

Re: Interview your partner

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Sure, bra!" Jude replied, waving back and not feeling dorky about it. "D'wanna be the dog or the dolphin? I'm bad at both, so I don't care."

"I think I could use more work on Dog if you don't mind," Willow said.

[ooc: here for as long as I'm at work, which is a couple more hours. Okay for SP after?]

Re: Interview your partner

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude nodded. "Sure." He was actually slightly better at dolphin. Something about the mindset clicked.

[[Sorry, was snagged for a Gaelic Cultural Expression Committee meeting. Yes, it was as boring as it sounded. I'm cool with SP.]]

Ranma says softly to himself, "Please not Shrodinger... Please not Shrodinger..."

((heheh anyone can be his partner, but Schrodinger would amuse me...))

Re: Interview your partner

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

"Hey, wanna be partners?" Schrodinger asked, walking up to him.

_{[[I hear and obey!]]}

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

A flat out no would have helped him. But he's a bit busy trying not to make a scene in front of all these people. He talks in Canine, maybe just so he can be the one barking... //"S-S-Sure..."//

((yesssssss))

Re: Interview your partner

[cat-in-the-box.livejournal.com]

Schrodinger winced visibly. "//So what should we talk about?//" he responded in dolphin.

Lana looked around for someone to partner up with.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru was looking for a partner too, and he had met Lana way back when they had first moved in. "Hey, wanna be my partner?"

Re: Interview your partner

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Lana said with a smile. "Dolphin or canine?"

Re: Interview your partner

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

"Canine if you don't mind." Kaoru sat by her and pulled out his paper and pencil.

((OOC: no prob :D))

"Door!" Carmela grins and leans over closer to the other girl. "Wanna practice with me?"

Re: Interview your partner

[notajar]

"Sure!" Door frowns. "Er." // Yes!// she yips. In Dog. As you do.

Re: Interview your partner

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

//Yay!// Carmela replies cheerfully. Dolphin, of course, being a language that sort of naturally tends towards cheerful expression. //Are you still interested in going-// hmmm, dolphins didn't wear clothes, and thus didn't really have the vocabulary to deal with talking about them, //to search for shiny new things this weekend?//

Re: Interview your partner

[notajar]

It's a good thing Door remembers what they are meant to be doing this weekend, since searching for shiny new things leaves a lot of avenues open, and is something she's almost always interested in. //New fur?//

Re: Interview your partner

[stykera]

Stark looked around for someone to bark or squeak at.

Re: Interview your partner

[chasingangela]

Angela sat beside Stark. "Wanna work together?," she asked. "I'm not that good."

Re: Interview your partner

[stykera]

Stark nodded. "Would you rather talk in Canine? Or Dolphin?"

Re: Interview your partner

[chasingangela]

//I'm a little less bad in canine,// Angela yipped. //Are you okay with swimmy-not-fish?//

Re: Interview your partner

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi looked around for a partner.

Re: Interview your partner

[lovelymissbrown.livejournal.com]

"Hi, wanna be partners?" Lavender grinned at her.

Re: Interview your partner

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Naomi replied, "okay," she grinned in response
