It's fascinating the way people choose to express themselves when speech and writing can no longer be relied upon. You're quite the creative group

I'm glad someone is amused. That was really irritating.

[felinemystique]

I take my amusement where I can get it, be it from language barriers, bad pick-up lines or interpretive dance.

[snowburned]

Interpretive what.

[felinemystique]

It's fascinating. Horribly, horribly fascinating.

[fearyoursword]

Thanks for all the help, Bastet.

[felinemystique]

Is this Reaper? I don't recognize the writing.

[fearyoursword]

[There's an ink dot behind his name, as if he was about to cross it out but changed his mind.]

Yeah.

[felinemystique]

Are you settling in all right?

[monoideist]

[pentap pentap.]

Thankfully things have mostly returned to normal. I suppose I had never stopped to wonder why we all speak the same language here, but there seems to be something in aid us in understanding. It's... interesting. The multitude of backgrounds and languages, that is.

[felinemystique]

It is. Although I suspect we weren't all speaking our native languages; I know Lin and I are from the same place, but I couldn't really tell what she was saying.

[monoideist]

Perhaps she is multilingual?

[felinemystique]

Good point. I suppose there's no way of knowing yet, though.

[sting_to_death]

I can speak and write normally now.

[felinemystique]

But I'll miss your drawings.

[sting_to_death]

I am aware they weren't

No need

[ Pause. Let's try this again. ]

Do you want to see me immediately?

[felinemystique]

[She's laughing at you, Lin]

Not necessarily right now, but I'll be at the store for the rest of the afternoon if you'd like to stop by.

[suffercircuit]

Thank you. [pen taps in the same spot for a bit] Are these 'times of emergency' frequent?

[felinemystique]

I wouldn't say frequent, but they do happen.

[suffercircuit]

If they happen at all, then they happen more times than necessary.

[The rest is delayed for a minute or so] Is the Guard open to recruitment?

[felinemystique]

Well, nothing everything can be prevented, so we prepare and respond as best we can.

I generally don't hire very new arrivals--I like someone to get used to this place before potentially putting someone's safety in their hands. But you're welcome to interview in a month or so.
