[So, after a month or so of study in shifts and things that mess with brains, Molly's ready to try an experiment. She attempts to say each of these in their regular languages: Spanish, Latin, French, and Chinese. All she gets for her efforts are a few words squeaking through Luceti's translation and a headache.]

I'm going to habla en Spanish.

Next to try nonnullus Latin.

I don't know many words in French but here it goes: belle, thanks, Camembert.

...Kung Pao Chicken.

[She waits a bit for the headache to fade and then makes a general post.]

Two months in this place, and I feel like I'm still just getting my feet wet. I know everyone's getting adjusted with this whole new 'cycle,' but I wonder if a few people wouldn't mind answering a question: What language am I speaking right now?

[And in a bit, Molly will blow off her normal time at the library to enjoy the warm day and glorious weather in a pair of stonewashed cut-off shorts that are just a bit too short and a plain white men's T-shirt. She's roaming in and out of town, until eventually she finds a good hill to meditate on. Two months? Caution's getting thin. It's time to try and contact one of these filial spirits and just... start talking.]

...Unified Noradic, to my ear.

[...does the person in this picture have glasses and a unicorn horn?]

[talentsgirl]

I've never heard of that language. Is what I'm saying accented at all?

[voice]

[grapecape]

I can't quite tell. There are many dialects of Noradic, and the speech I hear in Luceti typically uses vocabulary and structures from several unrelated dialects. Still completely understandable, but not something you would ever hear in Norad.

...I believe your way of speaking is most similar to that found in the capital and other major cities, though I've never heard a pure example.

[...oh right. Syntax and grammar. Whatever is translating this is not only translating the words, but putting them into a properly understandable form.

...for crying out loud.]

I see.

[She needs to think about this some more.]

Thanks, that's - certainly interesting.

What language do you hear yourself speaking?

[And how much does it differ from what he knows? This presents opportunies...]

[voice] sorry, event tags are killing me

[talentsgirl]

I hear myself in English.

[voice] whoops me too

[grapecape]

My speech, too?
