Parent's Weekend: Slartibartfast has "Open Office". Saturday morning.

[isnotimportant.livejournal.com]

Benjy and Frankie, the pandimensionals, are still stood in front of the professor's chair, giving him a lengthy (if squeaky) lecture about the proper responsibilities a planetary designer owes to the client, and how they think he's been wasting his time fooling around here being a teacher.

The professor is still stood on his chair. It's been twenty-four hours now.

Oh, wait, the clocks went back an hour overnight. It's been twenty-five hours now.

His wine and his garlic bread are out of reach on the table. The garlic bread is now cold, the wine is cold no longer.

He'd be quite grateful if a student turned up, whether or not there were parents.

Frankie continues to harrangue the professor. Benjy looks round at the girl, turns to face her. He looks her up and down. He asks her who she is, but it's quite evident she can't understand a word he's saying.

You haven't got one of those fish in your ear, have you.

It's clear she doesn't understand. He turns back to the professor.

Oh, do you not have a babelfish? Remind me tomorrow, I'll give you one. He was just asking about you.

(to the mice) This is Miss Matthews, she's a student of mine. She won't understand your language at the moment.

"Sir what's a bablefish? And yeah I'll remind you thanks. So you can understand them sir? Could you understand the frogs too?"

((OMG Paige gets a babelfish! I'm so excited!))

Oh, yes. Mice, frogs, Professor Camulus when he drops into Gaelige, anything like that. It's quite handy really.

"And I'd be able to understand those things as well if you give me this fish? Cool!"
