Has anyone determined whether the sudden occurrence of multilingual expression is limited to the journals? [Someone hasn't gotten out of the lab today, or had much (if any) in the way of human interaction.] Or whether this is the first time the journals have malfunctioned in any way?

[Hermione, of course, is eager to answer questions. In English :)]

Once the filters that we all take for granted were broken and people in the castle could read private messages others wrote. And of course the journals often open themselves at inconvenient moments, though I don't think that's a malfunction per se.

[truthin_bones]

Do you recall how long ago this was?

[courageous_wit]

It occured around July of 2008, over three years ago.

[truthin_bones]

That is definitely some time ago.

Do you recall if anything unusual preceded the malfunction?

/oh so late

[zone_of_truth]

Does today work for you? I could meet you around one?

it's totally ok <3

[truthin_bones]

That could work, Dr. Sweets Would you want to meet at the Lux?

[zone_of_truth]

That sounds good. I'll be there.

[truthin_bones]

I'll see you then.

[ooc: do you wanna fast forward in here or handwave or log or something?]

so latttte

[art_of_bones]

Have you tried doing some sort of dig?

[truthin_bones]

I'll admit, the thought has not crossed my mind.

[art_of_bones]

I think it'd do you some good.

[truthin_bones]

I should discuss the prospect with the Doctors. They've been on a number of the expeditions here and may know something more about Paradisa's past.

Seems like vacation is the new craze. Not that anyone can talk about it, with everyone speaking gibberish.

Just because you have difficulty understanding the various languages spoken does not mean everyone's speaking gibberish, Booth.

[beltbucklerebel]

Might as well be. I understand the same amount.

[truthin_bones]

Didn't you ever take a foreign language in school?

[it takes him a long time to decide whether or not he is going to answer at all. He doesn't know what he wants to say, to anyone.

But, this is the first time that anyone has tried to address him all, so... it feels like he needs to say something]

[clearing his throat a little, getting up the nerve to answer] ...When did I lie?

Billy

[truthin_bones]

I... [Brennan pauses, thinking it over herself. This is not as easy as she thought it would be.]

I suppose it was more of a lie of omission more than an actual lie. I thought you were a scientist, Billy. An intelligent, rational individual like... like myself.

Temperance

[need_to_rule_it]

I am.

[trying to keep from sounding insistent]

Billy

[truthin_bones]

Then why?... how?... did you get involved in all that chaos? You're not a villain. I don't understand, Billy.
