Speaking in Tongues [22/02] The Library, Friday afternoon

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal might have seemed a little distracted, today. Not for any reason at all, really.

"Well, I thought that we could do things simply today. I have an idea or two for the next weeks, but we all need to have a bit of language in common for them to work. The best way to learn a language is to use it. So, for today, let's just talk. We can have conversations, about silly things, or serious things, or anything you want.

Pair up with someone and help them with a language they don't know, teach them some words and phrases, and then try them out." He rubbed his temple, looking a touch amused. "Any accidental offence should be ignored, please. Try not to, but sometimes it simply happens. I once called a Rethwellan dignitary a small, blue turnip, for example."

[ooc: the teaching part can be handwavey, feel free to jump into potentially amusing conversations as people don't quite get the language they've learned right the first time.]

"We should definitely do something fun," John nodded. "I'm up for a D.C. trip. so long as it's not the art gallery."

"There are some pretty cool clubs there," he said. "Though none that would let us in till we're over eighteen, so forget I mentioned them."

"Who needs to be eighteen when you can make your own ID?" John asked.

"Who can make their own ID?" Andrew asked.

"We can. Or at least we can try," John said. "I learned about it in a workshop this summer."

"Does that mean I get to choose a new name?" Andrew asked excitedly. "What would yours be?"

"If I changed it?" John hadn't really thought about that before. "Maybe something like Fred." It had been his alternate John name, after all.

"Fred is a good name," Andrew said. "What could mine be?"

"I like it," John nodded happily. "You could be Chuck."
