[Back in the library once more. Unfortunately, the books lose their appeal once Weiss can't understand them. This is a bit of a problem. With some help from his knowledge of the past, a..bit more (stuff like programming) and a dictionary, he's picking up English fairly quickly. But he decides to test a few things out

I'm just glad I can understand someone here.

[ He's just sitting around while Weiss learns things. ]

[whitecovered]

[Awwwwyeah. Floating babelfish-to-be.]

Quite. This situation is already confusing and troublesome enough as it is.

[siebter]

Yeah, it's kind of weird...I guess the books here must look kind of like the ones in my library, right?

[whitecovered]

Yes. Thankfully, they are less dangerous than one in particular.

[don't talk about rubrum like that, weiss]

Action and english, oops. sdlfj

[odst_mute]

[After doing a quick double take when seeing the book, only to recall who it was, did Rookie give a cheerful wave from where he was sitting in the Lobby.]

Hey, Weiss. [Small pause as he drops his hand back down to the journal currently resting in his lap, rapping his knuckle on it a few times to draw attention towards it.] Hope you're having an easier time making sense out of all these languages.

forever?

[whitecovered]

[Floating over. Okay. After some studying, he can understand the gist of it. His English is a bit awkward, but he's getting the hang of it very quickly.]

You could say that. Not as fast as I had hoped.

Aha, for Rookie? Yeap! :D

[odst_mute]

[The awkwardness is noted, though there is some surprise in regards to it. Then again he probably shouldn't have just assumed Weiss wouldn't have any trouble just because he was a magic book.]

Better than some, at least. [Tilts his head.] What languages are you normally use to?

/o/

[whitecovered]

[Crosstranslating can get even the best of books hung up a bit.]

I do not know if there is a specific name for it.

[He switches to his usual language, aka what sounds like futuristic gibberish.]

I do not know what to call it, either.

[shutupweiss]

[ Guess who is leaning in the doorway watching you, sceptically. ]

Making use of that big brain of yours, Wiess?

Action;

[whitecovered]

Bah! Naturally.

[Perusing a few more dictionaries and grammar books. He wouldn't take up anyone's offer (without much persuasion, at least) to learn a language because he's too prideful. 8|]

[shutupweiss]

[ Hey, at least she's come indoors with all the people rather than secluding herself. She tilts her head, taking in the library. ]

Find out anything useful?

Action;

[whitecovered]

That depends on what you define as useful.

[Like profanity. He sighs.]

At the very least, I should not have to look through three dictionaries to find the correct translation of one mere word!

[You'd think with a library as big as this, there's got to be a book that could simply translate future language to past language. But language evolved a bit too much over the years...]
