[ Action, Voice ] "You! What planet is this?"

[Filtered 6%]
[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.]

Only when it's unpleasant. And if you're that bored, why don't you find something different to do?

[Voice]

[arturius]

Such as? Trying to escape hasn't got me anywhere yet.

[Voice]

[talentsgirl]

Ever heard of board games?

[It's even got a homonym in it.]

[Voice]

[arturius]

Games for the bored? No. I have not.

[Voice]

[talentsgirl]

Maybe you should give it a whirl. You might like "Risk."

[Voice]

[arturius]

It sounds dangerous. What does it entail?

[Voice]

[talentsgirl]

Dice, a map of the world, and a willingness to stay focused on one thing for hours. Snacks help.

[Mmm, organic popcorn.]

[Voice]

[arturius]

... perhaps not as dangerous as I thought.

[Voice]

[talentsgirl]

Oh, it's dangerous enough, all right. Tempers flare. Nations are conquered and reconquered. Friendships are tested. Hours and hours of your life go by without hardly a thought.

[Voice]

[arturius]

Something tells me it's not near as exciting as you make it sound.

[Yet he doesn't sound unwilling.]

[Voice]

[talentsgirl]

Oh, probably not. It all depends on who you're playing with.

[Voice]

[arturius]

Are you offering to play?
