[Oh look, Jenny's sitting on the step in front of house 36, and she's very carefully sharpening the blades of her daggers. Of course, since she can't see them for the moment, she'll be lightly touching the edge every once in awhile to check on how much more sharpening needs to be done on each dagger. Please feel free to talk to her if you want, though keep in mind that anyone who knows her might notice that she'll be following orders for once.]

*Jr. comes out with a plate piled with leftovers, stuffing his mouth full as he sits down next to Jenny.* Shing'f beeng preffy quief 'afery, 'abenf shey?

[She stops sharpening her knives, raising her head in his direction so she can hear him best.]

Yeah, no kidding. But you know as soon as it gets quiet that something usually happens.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Swallow.* Yeah, you're right. *New mouthful.* I bust 'ope it'sh nuffink foo mad.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Do you think you could please stop talking with your mouth full so I can understand you better.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Fi-*gulp* Aw, alright. That better? *Chomp.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Much better. I can understand you perfectly now.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're getting better at sticking to the right language, at least.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it takes quite a bit of concentration. I think I just wasn't used to having so many languages in my head at once. Honestly, I think any normal mind would be completely overloaded.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Guess it's a good thing you're smarter than normal, huh?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I think it's a good thing I'm created from a time lord, yeah. I mean, you can't even imagine how many languages there are from my world. It's amazing.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Think you could sort 'em out enough to teach me some of 'em?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

I can try my best, but no guarantees. Quite a few of the languages are quite difficult. I think if they weren't put in my mind that it probably would have taken even me quite a bit of time to learn a few of them.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

How long're we talking? *Omnom.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Well, if we were to go based off how quickly I learn things, probably at least a few months to half a year for me.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Mouth drops open. Hear that splat? That was his food falling on the step.* Damn...

[Someone's gonna just roll on by.]

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

It's only because people don't normally have the vocal cords for those languages to sound correctly. I mean, some of them, you really need to get the sound right or else it means something entirely different.

Do you remember me doing that clicking almost a week ago? It's called tritovoran. That's one of the languages I'm referring to.

[Oh hey, she can't see you, but she can hear you, and there's only one being that sounds like that.]

Hello there. Been settling in alright?

[savingthesamsel.livejournal.com]

[Vroom! A healthy engine rev here. He's been settling in...okay. This place is strange.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I remember that. Damn, that really does sound tricky.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

That's good. [She stops sharpening her daggers.]

You didn't get any scratches on that paint job of yours, have you? I imagine it'd be easy for that happen around here.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. Some of the other languages are used by races that are part of the Shadow Proclamation though. Like Judoon for instance.

[savingthesamsel.livejournal.com]

['Bee turns in a slow circle. No scratches that he's found, at least.]

[ghostsnaps.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey. That catches Johnny's attention and he ambles over.] You use daggers?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[Well, she doesn't recognize that voice, but hey, she's always up for meeting someone new.]

Around here I do. They're lighter and good for long distance if needed.
