Detention, Saturday, 3/25, 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m.

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Dream appears bored and a little contemptuous of the four teenagers who file into the Danger Room for detention. Half the room is set up as a conventional classroom; the other half holds four military-style cots. A table in the classroom half holds some food for later.

Dream inclines his head in a nod of greeting. "Hello. You are in my care for the duration of the day. I promise I will not harm you, permanently."

It might be that he gives slightly more significant glances to Marty and Angel, who both served detention under him several months before. He might also give Angel a look that could say, I have not forgotten what we talked about.

Or it might all just be a trick of the light, and he may give no student any particular attention.

The list of names on the board is:
Angel
Martin Blank
Logan Echolls
Isabel Evans

Marty sits down and researches the German language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_language#History"). He might be glancing at dream nervously from time to time.

The history of the German language begins with the High German consonant shift during the Migration period, separating South Germanic dialects from common West Germanic. The earliest testimonies of Old High German are from scattered inscriptions, especially in Alemannic, from the 6th century, the earliest glosses date to the 8th and the oldest coherent texts to the 9th century.

When Martin Luther translated the Bible he based his translation mainly on this already developed language, which was the most widely understood language at this time. This language was based on Eastern Upper and Eastern Central German dialects and preserved much of the grammatical system of Middle High German. In the beginning, copies of the Bible had a long list for each region, which translated words unknown in the region into the regional dialect. It took until the middle of the 18th century to create a standard that was widely accepted.
