CAMPUS WIDE EVENT: THE LANGUAGE BARRIER REINSTATED

[intercom_voice]

[Today, something somewhere went wrong. On the evening on the 15th, any bilingual (or otherwise) knowledge granted by the Campus has simply...disappeared. At least for anybody walking by the North Wing.]

Tja ... det här kommer att lägga sordin på våra studier, är nu inte det?

[Translation: Well...this is going to put a damper on our studies, now isn't it?]

((ooc: So! For the next 5 days (the 15th~20th), your character officially only knows their native tongue. Aka, whatever language they primarily grew up with. They can no longer read, speak, or understand any other language but.

For fun you can even use Google Translate to show what your character is speaking at a glance! Don't worry, we all know it's probably gibberish :P

If you go the Google route, please be sure to put a translation at the bottom. If not, then please take care to specify what language your character is speaking in at the start of every thread.

If you have any questions, just head to the mod plurk or send this account a PM, but most importantly--have fun!))

[That's not wrong, either. Niko's still so new that he hasn't been in most wings of the building.

But he's apologetic for what he doesn't, and since he can't say a simple sorry he just holds out his hands and cocks his head with a grimace. Yeah, they're both a little bit boned here.]

[Violet gently waves him off, trying to show that it's really no big deal.

But considering Niko can't tell him much, he's going to have to go look elsewhere. He gives a polite nod, then a more obvious "goodbye" wave.]

[vengeance_driven]

[He holds up a finger. Wait, wait. He can help a little.

Niko's a tracker, and he paid a lot of attention when he was being showed around. He can draw Violet a quick map of what he knows. That's something, at least. He points to the pad and pencil again.]

[brainsoftheoperation]

[Violet stops at the gesture, tilting his head a bit questioningly but handing over the pad and pencil again.

What is it?]

[vengeance_driven]

[He hands Violet an image back after a moment of scribbling.]



[He then proceeds to point at a place on the Western dooms and then at himself. That's where he stays. Then he points at Violet and marks where they are now on his map.]

[brainsoftheoperation]

[Interesting. Violet's eyes are momentarily drawn to the key (mostly out of habit) before he looks at what everything else Niko's drawn is. It seems like a simple enough map layout (god knows he's worked with worse), and he can get the idea from the bed and the pointing that Niko's showing where he is.

He'll decline to indicate that he's already picked one as well -- not wanting to expose Shadow, at the moment -- and simply nods in understanding, giving another smile as thanks.]

This will help a lot.

[He offers his own smile (this poor man's face wasn't made for smiling, but it's well meant) and gives his back a friendly pat.] Срећно патуљак! [Good luck, Vilenjak!]
