Creature Languages, 1/09

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

As the last Classics students filter out, Dream waits for most of the Creature Languages students to have taken their seats before he begins to speak again.

"Hello, and welcome to class. I hope this will be an enlightening experience for all of you. It is based on a premise that many of you may be ignorant of; all beings have a language. While humans may not be physically equipped to speak or understand them in the wild, so to speak, studying those tongues allows greater communication throughout the environment. This is especially true when it comes to animals that are feared by humans, such as snakes or spiders, and for that reason I plan to concentrate on those languages.

Before class starts, please review the class rules. I would like each of you to sign them at the bottom and turn them in to me. This will serve as our contract for the semester.

After that is done, I would like for each of you to stand and tell the class a little about yourself, including any languages you have studied before, either creature or human-based, and any particular goals for this class. In addition, I am in my office after class for any questions or concerns."

"Hey, everyone. I'm Victor Borkowski," he started, giving a little wave (especially to Walter, Xander, Zero, and Jake). "I just transfered here from Massachusetts, where I've lived all my life. I really don't know any other languages except English, though I kinda like French, and I know enough Spanish to get me by. I figured it'd be cool to learn creature languages, so that's why I'm here. Plus, I kinda look like a lizard, so maybe I can get them to talk with me," he added, laughing nervously.

Walter smiled and waved back, waiting for Dream's back to be turned before mouthing "Hi."

Vala manages to surpress a grin, although whether that's at the new student's appearance or at his enthusiasm is anyone's guess. She manages to turn it into a friendly smile his direction.

Dream nods. "But you are not a lizard," he says surely. "Thank you for joining us."

Pippi waves to the guy she hasn't met yet but has seen around.

Xander grinned at the guy from Shop class, and mouthed, "Glad to see your horn's okay" at him.

Whether those words came across as intended or not was probably up to Victor's lip-reading skill.

Lambs can see you're horny? Victor thought. He raised his eyebrows and, deciding to take the high road this time, touched his frontal headspike with a questioning look.

Xander nodded and his player giggled, giving Victor a thumbs-up sign.
