Creature Languages, 02/02, Period 3
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.]

/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?"
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
//Dunno. I never been on a sinking ship. Some shipyard rats say they can just tell -- you know, like it's a smell or something -- but they like to brag anyhow.//
"Sorry I don't have a good answer," he adds in English.
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
/So where did you learn to speak like people and do you like it?/
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
//But yeah, I like it,// he admits grudgingly.
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
"Um... Languages."
/Do you speak any others?/
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
//What about you?//
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
"Swedish."
//We learned about...//
"Dragon"
//and Spider previously... But a Hawk talked to me in town and between that and//
"Dragon"
//I was able to communicate a little with an owl. I could teach you some//
"Swedish"
//If you want.//
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
//Yeah? Like what would you call me, in Swedish?//
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
"Just kidding, 'rat' in Swedish is 'råtta'. Not terribly different I'm afraid."
Re: Class Discussion, Creature, 02/02
//Good to meet you.//
