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!))

[...the Ring? Lifting a hand, he grasps it firmly, lifting it. The chiming of the prongs as they clink together is the only sound for a moment as he mulls over his response.]

What about it?

[dyedblond]

[A sharp nod as he grips it - man, how is he gonna ask about it like this? I mean, he could probably write something-- but this guy doesn't seem to speak Ivalician. Even guys from other times can speak Ivalician!

He's taken another step back, though. Towards the door. Heee... needs to think this over. And maybe look for Penelo. And find an airship here and find out where he is.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...hoh? [Running away, are you? Bakura casually matches his steps, leaning over to stare at him and letting the Ring hang around his neck again.]

Where are you going? Heheheh...

[dyedblond]

[Geeze. Reks then makes the pose in his icon - leaning back slightly - before giving a timid smirk.]
That sort of treasure - it's pretty important to you, then?
[He places a hand to his pendant as he speaks - the one hung around his neck, the one him and Vaan used to share.]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...?

[Mimicking the action with his own Ring, he rests his hand against it. What was the guy trying to say? That it was similar?]

This is my most important treasure. I know you can't understand, but if you take it, I'll find you.

[dyedblond]

[Yeah, he can't understand.

But at the same time...]
...There's probably things here which are worth more. I mean, who'd keep something flashy on their neck if it was worth much?
[...

Yeah he should stop talking. Instead, he gives a sigh. Well, that wasn't a good introduction, but let's see if he can get information!

About where he is. Hmm... how to start? Reks pauses, to ponder. And then he points towards the... ceiling? He's actually trying to point to the skies. Where is this?]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...the ceiling? [He tilts his head back to stare at it, then frowns. The roof, maybe? He can show him the way there.

Lifting a hand, he beckons him towards the door as he heads there. Come on, kid, if you want to see the sky that badly...]

[dyedblond]

[...You know what, Reks has an idea.

That idea? Well, this guy can't understand him. And he needs to get some stuff off his chest. So? He'll just talk a little, in a questioning tone. You know.

Idea of the year. So, as he follows...]

I'm living a lie - I'm actually this guys older brother, and he's dead?

[reks.......]

[fluffydeathdealer]

...

[Jeez, this guy is still talking? Oh well. He nods, glancing back at him curiously. It's hard to figure out what the guy's even asking. So maybe if he just smiles and nods, that'll do. It's not like he feels like putting in any real effort as he leads the guy towards the door to the stairwell.

Really, he can't even be bothered to glare when the guy is just talking away like that.]
