[Imperial]
Well, this is rather pointless, isn't it? Strange, when, from what I can gather, this place has shown itself able to do far worse in the past. Unless perhaps they're planning something for those who don't speak English? The drones do seem rather suspicious of the non-English speakers... and this is supposed to be the decade right after ( Read more... )

english, latin, tower of babel, imperial

[Ooc; Ah, question here Moony! |D; The language that the Empire speaks...That's Imperial right? Do you think Dietrich would know it since he talked through and to Radu? *needs canonmate's opinion on this*]

Is the Earl having trouble with the language barrier?

[ooc: Yes, that's Imperial. And, hmm. Well, talking through Radu, I'm pretty sure he could've just... pulled what he needed from Radu's brain. But to him? I don't know. I'd say no? Just because it seems equally likely to me that Radu could've been multilingual and spoken to Dietrich in German or English or sums.]

[Wait, what? He -thinks- he recognized his title in there, but other than that? Yeah, no. Does not compute. But hell if he wants to clue you in to his ignorance. But staying silent will do just that, won't it? Damn it.]

Trouble with the language barrier, Puppetmaster?

[Ooc; Hmm. True. Though everyone besides Dietrich and Cain in the Orden is a Methuselah... Ah this is so confusing.]

Mh, do you speak this language?

[ooc: That's true. But those Methuselah apparently spend a great deal of time in the Outer, so knowing only Imperial would be a handicap. Maybe Deet's picked up bits and pieces and is just not fluent?]

... That sounds kind of like this one...

[Ooc; Hm, I see. Thanks for the help Moony~]

...[He could sort of tell the meaning of the words... Gdit Latin.] Close enough.

[ooc: No probs~]

[Yeah, he kinda understood you too.

Now have an awkward pause as he tries to figure why exactly he was wanting to communicate with you to begin with.]

[...Okay, so there's silence over here too. Probably because Dietrich is giving the Earl a chance to speak.]

[Yeah, well, damned if he knows what to say. He hasn't actively spoken to you before (outside his arrival) aside from mutual threats of death and or severe bodily harm.

Plus that whole mess in the Empire? Yeah, talking to you civilly is not high on his to do list. So it's just SLIGHTLY awkward to try and do so now. Even though he doesn't really have many other options.]

[Oh poo. Judging by the silence, it looks like he'll have to start up a topic.]

What do you think of the language predicament?

[There's a slight pause as he debates what to say here. Finally, honest response wins. He may not like you, but you're a victim of this place as much as he is.]

I think it's a distraction while the drones in charge prepare their next trick.

[ooc: Sorry for the delay, RL ate me for a couple days.]

Ah, good answer Earl. Though you do know that some of these...distractions do not always have another following right after it.

[Ooc; It's fine~ At least you are focused on rl stuff unlike me who is roleplaying constantly while the rl monster tries eating me alive.]

[He rankles a bit at those first words. Does it surprise you, Puppetmaster? To learn the Earl has some brains in his pretty little head?]

I'd noticed. There was a period of calm between the flu event that was winding down when I arrived here and... this. Likely to promote a sense of false security.

[ooc: I didn't have a choice, really. It kinda beat me over the head with a stick.]

[Dietrich didn't expect less from the Earl. Even if he seems a little bit like Esther.]

Very good Earl. You are catching on rather quickly. Did you know after some events that you may regain your old possessions?

[Ooc; D'awww. ;___; I hope rl monster dies.]

[Latin] nightlord_3045 October 20 2009, 03:20:11 UTC
No, I didn't.

[ooc: Well, it's school, so unfortunately it's not likely to really -die- anytime soon. but thanks though : )]
