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.]

//Japan. And later China.// He nods for a second. //Hey... don't we have to write this down?//

Re: Interview your partner

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

Schrodinger shrugged and pulled out a pad of paper. //Sure, why not?//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//My handwriting is bad... but I'll try...// he gets out paper too. //So where are you from?//

Ranma scribles this, literally. //Okay so... what's your favorite food?// If he says fish...

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Fish. 'Specially sushi,// Schrodinger responded.

Re: Interview your partner

Ranma resists a facepalm. //Really?//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Yeah. It's delicious. Haven't you tried it? You're Japanese, after all.//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Now that you mention it... I do like it a lot.// He's a bit embarassed by this fact.

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Would you say it's your favorite food?//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//I like a bigbowl of cat... stir fry thing... with beef and vegetables.//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//That's also pretty tasty,// Schrodinger said. //Alright. So you from the present, past, future?//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Present. You?//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Seven years ago. Around 1999.//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//That's cool. So you're not too behind.//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Nah. It was really easy to catch up on what's going on.//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Okay... well we don't need too many more questions... probably... How about... what year are you?//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Sophemore. You?//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Freshman.// He finishes writing that all down. //We have to do that nursry stuff too right?//

Re: Interview your partner

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

//Yeah, that too, I guess.//

Re: Interview your partner

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//I think we do it seperately...// Thank god.

((I needa ask Pippi-mun to force these two into a really awkward situation sometime. Because Ranma running around a classroom screaming is quality entertainment))
