[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.]

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...

[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.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Shadow Proclamation?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Let's see, from what I was able to get out of dad, it's like a group of all the oldest and most powerful races. They make up the laws of the universe that the other races have to follow in order to keep things somewhat peaceful. Like, you can't attack an undeveloped planet, like Earth.

Time Lords used to be part of the Shadow Proclamation, I think.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

So it's kinda like the Galaxy Federation.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's right. Something like that.

[She carefully gathers up her daggers and stands up, walking back into the house. She would finish her sharpening later.]

I've been meaning to ask since I can't see, but did you manage to get the blood off the walls.

[Yes, she did remember the fight when she was kidnapped, and remembered the damage caused well.]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Duo helped me fix things up, actually. And I cleaned all your daggers myself.

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[Oh look, she's smiling.]

Oh, you're brilliant, but you need to help clean the rest of the house while I'm here too.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

Can't be that hard, right?

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

It's not as long as you keep up with it.

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

I'm sure I can manage it. *And he's stuffing his face again.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

What are you eating?

[Curiosity had broken through!]

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

*Big gulp.* Leftovers. Better'n having 'em sit around 'til they spoil. *Snarf.*

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

And how much did you take?

[reconciledtwins.livejournal.com]

A full plate...

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

In that case, go make lunch. Remember that the rest of us have to eat too.
