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!]

Pippi looks over her vocabulary.

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

//Some rare, fortunate few, such as myself// Voldemort hissed, //are blessed with the innate ability to speak the tongue of serpents. I discovered I was one such one when a snake understood me in my youth.//

//What did you say to him... or her?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

//I don't recall// he lied.

Re: Talk to Voldemort

That seemed odd, but Pippi herself could be rather forgetful at times so she didn't persue it.

//What do you think are the most important words to know that are not on our vocabulary sheet?//

Voldmort looked at the page, and said something in a hiss.

"It means 'foolish.'"

Pippi rather wanted Dark Lord Voldemort (TM) to teach her the good curse words but Dream was standing right there she supposed.

//Foolish?// she says, trying it out.

//What are you Lord of?//

//All// he answered, his eyes narrowing even more.

//I've never been to Ahal... Is it nice this time of year?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

//...no, all// he corrected.

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

//All of what?//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

//Everything.//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

//Even the...// "Brettons?"

Re: Talk to Voldemort

//Especially.//

Re: Talk to Voldemort

"Wouldn't that make you a King then? I think "Lord" is rather selling yourself short. And what about that strange fellow with the...// "...crown and the coconuts?"

Re: Talk to Voldemort

"Lord Voldemort has a nicer ring to it," he said, looking rather impatient.

Re: Talk to Voldemort

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Lord Voldemort." Pippi said as if she was considering the taste of the words.

"King Voldemort... His Imperial Mangesty Voldemort... Mr. Voldemort. Squire Voldemort... Lt. Govenor Voldemort of California... Sir Voldemort... Don Voldemort... Daddy Voldemortbucks..."
