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's ... possibly a little less comboobulated than he was when he entered the room.

As evidenced by the translation he did eventually hand in.

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater, in Rat

//Euphemism, Euphemism,
Fragrance of the female human person,
Had zucchini,
Of I mate with and not to maintain.
It in the covers of the zucchini which they put and,
Maintained much well there.//

He's really better than this. He is. He's motivated for learning Rat, after all.

{For the record? English to French to Dutch to English to Italian to English, with 'female human person' and 'mate with' substituted for equivalents. It did the zuchinni all on its own, or at least it stalled on 'zucca' and I translated it the rest of the way.} *cough-editstobefunnier-cough*
