Creature Languages, 4/27, Period 3

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

Again, the classroom is neat, almost barren, as the students file in.

"You have the day today to work on your final projects," Dream said. "We have Furball, who lives with Nadia Santos, in class today for those of you who would like to interview a cat, and of course Mr. Neilson is available for Monkey. I can also summon Bruce, for Sharkspeak; my raven, Matthew; Racso, the rat; or a spider called Charlotte."

"If you have already done your interviews, or you wish to work on a different language, you may leave class."

[OOC: Expect SP on this one. People playing animals, please drop a comment in the OOC thread so people can ping you. Thanks.]

Jake beamed. Bringing the joy of coffee to new beings was very rewarding.

//No troubles! You talked of friends? What kind of friends are they?//

//Oh all sorts.// said Charlotte, tapping her right foremost leg with her left as she listed them off.

//There's Wilber, he's a pig. Wilber's such a sweetie, I live in the rafters of his sty. And there's some geese, and sheep, a horse, some cows... There's a little human girl as well, but she never says very much... And there's Templeton of course... Not that he'd probably admit to being anybody's friend, but he's quite the softy when you get down to it. He's a rat.//

"Huh. //I didn't know spiders were so friendly,// Jake noted. He scribbled down some more notes. //Why do you make webs?//

//Well I myself would say that I build webs because I am compelled to. When I first hatched there was just something in my mind that said, "And now I must build a web." Of course it's how we catch our food which is very important. But I think that even if I didn't have to use it for that, I'd still build webs. I've also discovered a certain desire to be... artistic. To make something that is pleasing to look at. For instance, I am known in my area for making webs that the local humans can see messages in.//

"Ooh, that's cool," Jake said. He looked pretty impressed. //I create...// um. //colour things? That makes me joy...// um. //Happy.//

He looked down at his notepad again. //Do you have a spider family hatchlings?//

//I do have brothers and sisters yes.// she said, //But I have not seen them since we all hatched. My kind does not tend to know their parents.//

Jake nodded, and looked over his notes. "Okay." //I am satisfied. Thank you for you time! Please have some more sweet bitter brown brew if you like!//

//Why thank you.// She said sweeping her foremost legs wide in the approximation of a bow/curtsey. //And good luck on your test my dear.//
