Creature Languages, 02/02, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

There is a small white rat sitting on the lectern, while Dream stands to one side. At Dream's nod, the rat addresses the class in English in a voice that is clear, though high-pitched.

"Hey, kiddos. I'm Racso. I'm supposed to help teach you guys Rat. Heh. Might be easier to just teach all us rats English. But whatever, I ain't getting paid for my opinion.

Anyhow, your professor is passing out a vocabulary sheet. You're supposed to try to ask me a question from it in Rat. Go into English if you hafta. But study it over the weekend, 'cause on Monday, you're gonna need to talk to each other in Rat."

He turns to Dream. "Anything else I gotta say?" At the shake of Dream's head, Racso gnaws on the lectern briefly, then addresses the class again. "So who wants to go first?"

[OOC: Racso is loosely borrowed from "Racso and the Rats of NIMH", though my memory of the book is imperfect. Forgive any canon fumbles. Also, work is looking busy, so I may be slow.]

Pippi looks over the vocabulary sheat.

/How is it that you guys always know when a.../

There's no rat equivalent on the sheet for the rest of her question so she switches to English.

"...Ship..." /...is going down under the water? Or is that a.../ "...fallacy?"

Zero blinks at the page and wonders if her throat will be able to produce all of these sounds.

//"Are there many rats here? How did you get on with the--// er, gremlins?"

Walter looks the piece of paper over and shakes his head. He has nothing he wants to say to a rat. The last thing he wants is empathy with vermin.

"Oh, ew," Cordy says under her breath, eyeing the rat with disdain and a bit of disgust.

"Um... //Do you have many friends? What is your favourite hobby?//"

Cordy squirms in her seat a little.

Blair bounced happily while reading the vocab sheet and making notes.

/What's the biggest problem facing rats today and can humans help?/

Draco looks over his vocab sheet.

/So...do you guys really like cheese over all foods or is that a lie?/

Victor was estatic that he was learning how to speak rat. he was a big rodent fan, and thought long and hard about his question.

//I know rats like to chew. Is there anything I can offer to stop a rat from chewing on something that I don't want him to chew? Like my bed?//

He hope he got it right, but he pledged to practice if he didn't. Rats were cool!

Xander read through the vocabulary sheet and scratched his head. It was a good thing Rasco spoke English too. (And how sad was it that animals who spoke English didn't remotely faze him anymore? Three years of knowing Buffy and his ability to be surprised by anything but... his ability to still be surprised by human nature? Pfft. Blown into tiny little dusty pieces.) What he wanted to ask was weird enough in any language; he still wasn't entirely sure how to put it together.

//I've got this friend// he started, //at home.//

"Well, she's in at school with another friend, actually, in another dimension but I knew her back home."

//She//

... okay, no word for spell on the list. Which made sense, because how many rats knew magic? And did he really want to know the answer to that question, actually?

//...changed into a rat. She's//

He looked at the the list and winced. Yeah, of course they'd have that word.

//trapped that way. We think so, since she can't speak//

"English"

//to talk to us.//
