Creature Languages, 4/10, Period 4

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

There is a rather interesting creature [OOC: The little one, not Kermie!] perched on a parrot lobster stand at the front of class today.

Dream nodded toward him as he passed out vocabulary sheets. "Hello. I enjoyed watching you work on the Lobster folk dance on Thursday. Today, we are going to learn Lobster in more depth. Our guest lecturer is Polly, who was "raised from a fingerling" on a pirate ship."

"Review your vocabulary sheets, then ask Polly questions at will."

Questions for the lobster?

Pippi looked over her vocabulary sheet carefully.

//Greetings!// she ventured. //I was raised by pirates too. It is very nice to meet you.//

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Polly eyed Dream before responding to Pippi.

//Pirates! Oh-ho-ho! That's rich! Pirates? What an imagination.// "Give me a cracker."

Re: Talk to Polly

This is actually a reaction Pippi is rather used to, so it doesn't bother her. Nor does she bother arguing with him.

She does, however, produce a cracker and offers it to Polly.

//The nice man,// she motioned to Dream, //Said you were raised by a pirate. What was he called?//

Walter eyed the lobster and decided that "you look delicious" is not a good opening when speaking to a crustacean. "Pass the butter" was also a poor introduction.

//Good morning.// He scanned the vocabulary sheet and felt hindered by his lack of actual claws. //Do lobsters have wars?//

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

//Oh, sure. Everybody fights. But to call them wars is probably giving the lobsters too much credit.// Polly whistled. "Give me a cracker."

"I don't have any crackers." Alfred would have had a cracker. Alfred also had a live lobster tank at Cafe Fina. This was going to make serving them in an entree capacity problematic in the future.

//Why are you a lobster on land?//

Draco raises an eyebrow to the muppet lobster. He wonders if the Chef knew him.

//You ever go on a treasure hunt?// asked Draco.

Re: Talk to Polly

If Polly happened to go by the Cafeteria, he might think the Chef looked familiar, but he wouldn't recognize him because the Chef doesn't have a pig nose. But this is all just speculation as Polly won't be going by the Cafeteria.

//Why? You have a map I could st- er, you want to show me?// "Squawk! Pieces of eight. Pieces of eight!"

After a few moments of looking over his sheet, Victor asked, //What games do you play for fun?//

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

//Torture the rat.// "Oh-ho-ho! Just kidding." Polly whistled.

Re: Talk to Polly

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

//Why do so many have problems with rats?// Victor sighed in Rat before continuing in Lobster. //Do you prefer living under the sea or above it?//

Re: Talk to Polly

//Do you drink that liquid of love called coffee?// Jake asked.

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

//No, but I sneak some coffee beans sometimes when Long John isn't watching.// "Give me a cracker."

Xander does not actually have his lobster antennae on. He suspects real lobsters might find that disrespectful, and they have ouchie sharp claws.

//Do you guys only like to...communicate... to Lobster Rock, or do you like other kinds of music too?//

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

//I like musicals. Something you can sing along with. Sea shanties are also good.// "Squawk!"

Re: Talk to Polly

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

//What happened to your...// "claw?" Molly asked and pointed to Polly's hook.

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

"Shuffleboard accident."

Re: Talk to Polly

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

//what's it like being raised by pirates? Are you one?// she asks, what? wierder things have happened in FH

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Polly squawked and laughed. "You kids and your imaginations!" //I was raised by a ship's cook. No pirates here.//

Re: Talk to Polly

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair looked up from his vocabulary sheet and smiled nervously.

//Good muffin, how are fool peeling?// Blair bit his lip and hoped that came out right.

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

//What?// "Give me a cracker."

Re: Talk to Polly

[swerval_zero]

Zero restrained her natural urge to tell the lobster his kin were delicious with butter, and instead asked him, //What kind of food are lobsters on a pirate ship?//

Then she realized she'd muffed a wrist movement and scrambled to correct herself. //What kind of food do lobsters eat on a pirate ship?// "I meant."

Re: Talk to Polly

[fh-anonymous.livejournal.com]

Polly looked at Zero's hair as he answered. //Fish and crackers mostly. Occasional scraps of whatever is left over after everyone else eats.//

"Did you know your hair is blue? Give me a cracker." He whistled.

Stark feels right at home conversing with muppets, for some reason, especially crustacean ones, and smiles at Polly.

//Hello//

//Do you live on the// "pirate" //ship still?//
