Creature Languages, 02/09, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

"You have now learned to speak, if haltingly, in Dragon, Rat and Spider. Those are all difficult tongues, with rich histories and their own quirks -- from the choppy vowels of Spider, to the crooning of Rat, to the rhyming of the dragons. I applaud your sincere efforts to learn.

Today, I would like for each of you to pick a so-called nursery rhyme and translate it into the Creature language of your choice. I trust that you will have no problems in finding appropriate substitutes for words that may not be on your vocabulary sheets."

Xander pages Doctor Typo McFreud happens to glance up and clearly notices Jake's presence. He even starts to lift a hand, then a rather odd look comes over his face, as if he's simultaneously uncomfortable, uncomfortable, and uncomfortable. And also contemplating mortal peril and the avoidance thereof.

He quickly looks back down at his book of nursery rhymes, and stares at I Had A Little Nut Tree like it might change to something less WTF-ily titled if he squints hard enough.

Jake glances over at Xander, but Xander seems very, very busy, so Jake sighs and goes back to poking the rhyme.

Xander might in fact glance nervously back over, under cover of turning the page, because the Nut Tree.? Not gonna cut it. He's kind of afraid of how rats would translate that.
