The class was being held in an actual classroom today just as a precautionary measure. After all, if people got into the lesson, he didn't need wanderers by wondering what the hell he was teaching the kids. Hence, the classroom.

Get into groups and talk about how you swear, if you swear, and the different words you use!

This might be one of those few times Effy actually looked approachable when it came to pairing for a class exercise.

"Fuck this shit," Layla said plopping herself down next to Effy. "Let's get the fuck out of this craphole and do something that's fucking interesting for a change."

"Too fucking right," Effy agreed, smile curving her lips. "This should be piss easy, right?"

Re: partner up [llq 07/15]

"Hell yeah," Layla answered. "I can fucking swear until the God damned cows come to their motherfucking homes."

"I would, but I'm not from anywhere that fucking rural." Okay, around Bristol was, but she was very definitely a city girl. "Learned it from my dad. Everyone's a fucking bollocking shitwank with him." Well, everyone that got on his bad side, anyway. That just wasn't hard to do at all.

"I'm actually not that much of a person who curses," Layla admitted. "But you know... when in fucking Rome..."

Effy huffed a little amusement. "Least you're adaptable," she noted. "Some people fucking aren't."

Re: partner up [llq 07/15]

"Oh, I'm really flexible depending on the fucking situation," Layla replied. "Otherwise it all turns to shit."

Fiona looked around for someone who might be up for different-language swearing. After all, there's no swearing like German swearing.

Tara picked her roommate because, well, she knew her and if she was going to say words she never said at someone, it had better be someone she knew.

"Hey, Fiona. M-mind partnering up?"

Re: partner up [llq 07/15]

[cutsthestrings]

"Works for me," and Fiona actually looked rather pleased at the idea.

"Should we curse in Latin, considering?"

Re: partner up [llq 07/15]

"I don't really know those kinds of words in Latin that much," Tara admitted. "I can try?"

Her Latin was very useful for reading about demons and the other kind of curses. Not so much for decoding grafitti.

"We can stick to English," she said with a small little smirk, "but remind me to teach you them when we start going over things."

Fiona had been raised in a very strict household. 106 rules, a dictator of a Grandmother... But she'd rebelled in little ways, with her rubberband, and the treats she'd occasionally find at work, and by learning the dirtier parts of any language she studied.

"You want to start?"

Re: partner up [llq 07/15]

Tara quirked a quick smile. "Okay." Which served to answer both parts, and gave her time to think of swears.

"You -- you slimeball of a wench."

Or ... not to think of them, as it happened. Tara failed at real swearing.
