i cannot think if you had stated any of these before but i will refer to this should you say one of them

alas i've no interesting language to share myself

[Mebh can't actually read, but her Omni does have a text-to-speech function so she can at least understand it. Being as young as she is, she has a good laugh at some of those words.]

These are some funny-soundin' words. But what are cupcakes? Are those tasties?

[Yes, that's her burning question. If it's food, she has to know about it.]

[laminae]

I think those are car parts. They keep rocks from hitting your wheels?

[laminae]

sure dude, there's way more so i can send you the rest when i put it together

c'mon you must have some junk

[laminae]

[It's a good thing she's using voice, because the lack of a username throws Fern for a loop.]

You've never heard of cupcakes? Oh man, they're like the best desserts ever. They're basically mini cakes, so instead of stuffing yourself with one big cake you can eat a dozen of 'em at once. The best kind are Finncakes, but they're for Finns only.

Oh, so you're gonna start inflicted this on MORE people now, huh?

I look forward to so many more people deciding math is cool because of this.

[He might feel like trash but gentle ribbing of the boyfriend is always a-ok in his book!]

[kyley_b]

can we have the swears used in sentences? for research. like do you just yell 'clam'or is it like 'dude you're such a clam'?


'butt guy' definitely has different connotations on earth. and bjork is a singer!

[laminae]

[Glob, he'd be so much more mad about this if it didn't also mean Varian was acting somewhat normal.]

aw geez not this again
no one is ever gonna think math is cool and definitely not because of my dictionary

[laminae]

oh dude you can do both
whatever you want, get creative
some other swears are yogaballs, dirtballs, flip, freaking, Glob Grod Gob Grob or just one of them works

what's it mean on your Earth?
and i've never heard of her was she human?

[enblightened]

thank you fern

none that i can think of
though i suppose there is the idea that perhaps the light is not a deity to everyone
something i had quickly learned here
i dont suppose that counts

[imaglyphwitch]

That...is not a thing that I know.

[laminae]

it totally counts dude
i don't think there was anyone who worshipped the sun back home
seems real weird to me but you do you, right?

[enblightened]

it is not the sun strictly.
it is more the idea that there is a being out there that can give us sight
hope
healing
the sun is but a sliver of that idea

[kyley_b]

yogaballs? oh i love it.
ok so like...
fern i'm pretty sure we croaked a flipping yogaball of a monster and i'm all bing bong ping pong about it.

it sounds like just someone who likes butts.
yeah. pretty sure anyway. she wa spretty weird so i wouldn't be shocked if she was an alien.

[laminae]

It's car stuff. Don't worry about it.

[laminae]

ohhh
that makes more sense
it seems like if you're gonna worship something that would be a nice thing to follow? for the hope and healing

[laminae]

haha yep!! that makes perfect sense to me

oh
that's boring

hey that's cool dog
wonder how her name ended up a curse in my world

[enblightened]

hope is a rare thing where i am from, as is natural light.
to have both is a blessing.

My goodness, what an interesting language you have, Fern! I don't know how much of this can translate into German, though.

[mactirebeag]

Little cakes? [Mebh already likes the sound of that.] I bet I could eat even more than a dozen.

Why are Finncakes only for Finns?

[imaglyphwitch]

I won't!

Not for a few more years, or at least as long as I have Eda's staff.

[droptheious]

[It's the monkey's paw he has to live with.]

Yes, this again. Always this again.

They definitely are. You're literally going to tell them it's cool because we've already established that it is.

[laminae]

wow, really? is your home like Trench? are there a lot of plants?

[laminae]

Oh dang, do you think you could try, though? It's cool if you can't, but it'd be neat to see what some of this stuff sounds like in German!
