Creature Languages (Thursday, March 23 - Period 3)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

After the students had filed in, they were introduced to a rather different tall, gaunt, pale man than the one they were used to.

“Good morning,” he said in slow English with a silky smooth sneer. “You may call me,” he paused, “Lord Voldemort. I have been requested to be here to educate you all in the fine art of slipping one’s tongue around the intricacies of Parseltongue - the language of snakes.”

He looked disgusted as he indicated a pile of papers on Dream’s desk. “Take a vocabulary sheet, if you please. Then ask me whatever questions you may have in Parseltongue. If all else fails, I’ll resort to English, but I warn you - it’s nearly an unconscious language. I won’t be happy about having to change.” He glanced at Dream. "But...I will oblige you, as you're," another sneer, "students, yet."

His red slits of eyes were scoping out various entrances and exits to the classroom, and his hands continued to reach for a clearly absent wand. It's also possible that he may have looked almost as though he was being forced to be there by some means.

But only if you were really paying attention. Which you shouldn't be. Because you're supposed to be working on Parseltongue.

[ooc: OCD threads coming are up. Also, I have some stuff to take care of this afternoon, so I'll be gone for about an hour. Should be back pretty steadily after that, though. Huzzah, am back!]

Because Voldie might not care, but Dream probably does.

Paige signed in looking slightly fearful, still good practise for the future right? If she can be taught by a 'man' who looks like this and cope the demons she's goig to be facing won't that bad.

Pippi signs in.

Poor guy. He looks unwell.

Pippi considers offering to take him on a three hour tour.

Draco signed in and is pretty much having a heart attack right about now.

Re: Sign in

[stykera]

Stark signed in, took a vocab sheet, and wondered idly if this Voldemort person was a strange looking human or if he was actually an alien.

Xander signed in. And blinked a lot. Because creepy, yo.

Sakura signs in and absently wonders why a bald natural blond creepyman is teaching the class.

Talk in class

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Yes, please, talk amongst yourselves while the psychopathic wizard stands there and watches.

Re: Talk in class

Blair flipped through Cosmo and kept an eye out for Molly.

Jake sat down. He looked at the teaching dude. Dude. You fugly, he thought.

Re: Talk in class

[pure-blooddraco.livejournal.com]

Draco doesn't speak but he is staring at the Dark Lord Lord Voldemort. He seriously regrets not bringing his wand to class. Not that would help him very much.

Talk to Voldemort

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

He's harmless. I swear. Because Dream is totally making him play nice.

Pippi looks over her vocabulary.

//When did you learn to speak Parseltongue?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

//Daaaaamn...What happened to your face?//

//Can I call you Voldie?//

//Would you like to read my Cosmo magazine?//

//Good Morning! What are some of the practical uses for parseltongue?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly asked a question, but her pronunciation and word choice were so bad that it made no sense.

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[swerval_zero]

Zero looked at her vocabulary sheet. She looked at Voldemort. And then she looked at her vocabulary sheet again. "//Mister Riddle//Um, Voldemort--wait, doesn't that mean 'Flying Death'? //How does one--//Oh, bugger this for a lark. //What can I do to keep from being bitten by a snake?//"

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[stykera]

Stark frowned at the vocabulary sheet before attempting a question.

//Do many...//
He paused and looked down at the vocab sheet and then back up at Voldemort before continuing.
//people speak Parseltongue?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige has recently spelt with a demon, she should probably be less worried about the look of this guy than she is, couple this with her general inability to speak any of the reptile languages very well and we get this.

//do-do. you. speak. any. other. creature. languages?// said very slowly and in a accent probably much closer to dragon than Parseltongue

Xander stared at the sheet and...waited for the letters to arrange themselves into anything resembling words.

The English letters.

He might have been a little distractedated.

Ditching class today would, on reflection, have been a possibly smart move.

Since he couldn't even think of anything to ask in English.

Plus creepy, yo.

Wait, creepy snakes. Duh.

//Is there a nice polite way to get a snake to fuck off go *away*? Especially maybe a *giant* snake?// "Or would that be the same thing and you just say it really loud?"

After Class

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

He's...probably still here, I suppose.

Re: After Class

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream walked over to Lord Voldemort. "You kept your end of the promise, I see. For that you have my gratitude."

OOC

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Can I just giggle for a second over the fact that I'm playing Lord Voldemort under the LJ handle "imanaturalblond"? Tell me that's not funny. Seriously.

Re: OOC

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

That's not funny. Seriously.

Okay, it totally is, but you said...
