Creature Languages, 02/13, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream is not in the classroom today, but a raven with shiny eyes is perched on his desk, as if to oversee the students in his absence. In addition, there's small sack of heart-shaped cinnamon candies on each desk. The instructions written on the bulletin board read,

"Sign in and complete a quiz. You may then leave.

Matthew will contact me should there be problems, or I will be in my office later today."

[OOC: The quiz is taking one of the nursery rhyme translations completed on Thursday and putting it back into English, then listening to and transcribing a brief dialogue in Rat. Tell me what grade you got.]

Jake takes the quiz. He gets a B+ as he fudges the translations a bit. There's a nice sketch of the Raven having a conversation with a rat at the bottom of the sheet though.

Paige takes the quiz and gets a B, the nursery rhyme piece goes very well, the Rat goes a little worse as the accent is difficult to understand and she's likely to have got some words that sound similar mixed up.

Walter gets a B+. He's been studying and the nursery rhyme is a snap, but Rat is definitely never going to be one of his better languages.

Pippi signs in.

Pippi translates a rhyme from spider and does okay, she continues to use the same "flair" she used in translating into dragon. Possibly it has something to do with the fact that it's poetry.

The section on rat however she does very well with.

B+

Her short conversation with Tobias gave her a little insight into an avian language, and it was very like Dragon in some respects. That gave her some frame of reference to communicate with an owl... Or at least she was pretty sure it did. The body language of the owl seemed to match up with what she thought it was saying anyway.

She decided to give raven a whorl as class was ending. Maybe it would be worth some extra credit?

"Hullo." she said to the raven in English.

Matthew wonders why a raven would waste time talking to a rat when they're so tasty as food, but he does see that the kid has done a nice job drawing him.

Matthew tilts his head at her, not quite sure what's been said, and lets out an inquisitive caw.

[OOC: And now I have to decide whether Matthew still speaks English. I think he speaks Raven, and ... whatever is spoken by the Endless? This should be interesting.]
