Speaking in Tongues [11.4]

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was distracted, but he'd found a whiteboard from somewhere and wheeled it into the library. "I thought we could try our hand at the jumbles that have been in the paper recently. I've done one in Karsite that I thought you could all try and guess. And then someone else could come up and do another one, in whatever language they like."

On the board was--

//MDOFNA//

--and the clue was:

The weirdest island in the world

.

Okay, it was stupidly easy, but he was very distracted. "When everyone who wants to has had a turn, I thought we could simply make new words by choosing one letter from each of our jumbled words."

Talk if you want to

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Probably not all jumbley, or it will be hard to understand.

Romeo didn't have a good jumble in mind, but he was around and looking for Adah. He'd forgotten to ask for her notebook the week before.

Re: Talk if you want to

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

And how appropriate that Romeo would be looking around for Adah when Adah was looking for Romeo. Having recently discovered the joy that was Post-It notes, she had slapped one onto the front of her composition book with all her Japanese notes in it, and sent both note and notebook skittering across the table toward the recipient.

Written in both Japanese and French, scrawling neatly across the bright yellow flap of paper was, //"I don't suppose you'd still be interested in this, perchance?"//

Re: Talk if you want to

Romeo had half-forgotten his conversation with Adah, but it came back to him as soon as he opened the notebook. He shot a shy smile down the table toward Adah.

And, because shouting in her direction seemed wrong, he left his seat to approach hers. //I would,// he told her in French. //I may even take back calling you a minx. Thank you.//

Re: Talk if you want to

[ecirpnellehada.livejournal.com]

Grinning back a little, Adah smoothed out the paper on her other notebook, already open because it was language club, so, of course, she was prepared to converse in one of her favorite voices. She wrote back to Romeo, in the secondary language they both seemed comfortable with, français.

//"Please don't. I'm much to fond of the title."//

Re: Talk if you want to

[withoutverona]

//Then I should call you it more often,// Romeo laughed. //Is there anything interesting about the notebook, other than that I shouldn't get jam on it?//

JUMBLE

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Guess Karal's jumble, then come up to the whiteboard and make your own.

Talk to the Convenors.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Once they're here.

Re: Talk to the Convenors.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal was here, and his thought were all jumbley.

Re: Talk to the Convenors.

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

Evey could tell, and it didn't take someone with her insight to do so. "You okay?"

Re: Talk to the Convenors.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

It startled him and his head shot up. "What? Oh. I--" Karal looked at her for a long moment, uncertain what he should do, then glanced around. "I need to talk to you, but privately. Come into the stacks for a moment?" he asked as he stood up.

Re: Talk to the Convenors.

[remember5th.livejournal.com]

"All right," Evey agreed, her brow creasing in slight worry. She glanced around as she started toward the stacks.

Re: Talk to the Convenors.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal followed, stopping when he was satisfied that no one would overhear. "I have to tell you something, and I don't know if you'll believe me," he said earnestly. "But it is true, I swear it."

Andrew came in a bit late.

Talk to Bob the Librarian

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Can he shelve it? Yes he can!

OOC

The word jumbley is fun to say out loud. Try it! Jumbley, jumbley, jumbley.
