Day 341 (protected x2 from Arcana listening in)

[youandyoualone]

Would someone who is only investigating be willing to help me retrieve an object from Moonfall and bring it to liminal space? I can give the location, but for various reasons, I would rather the Cabalist whose body I am sharing not learn of its continued existence.

Said object is about the height of a child of a child of seven and a bit more than twice the weight. It can be safely handled by anyone as long as one doesn't try to kythe with it. I'd ask you to bring it to liminal space via portal and hammerspace and after the Jaunt I'd take custody of it.

Ah! By creating a false wall or such. That is well-thought. I apologize. After my conversation with Chloe, I... made a few assumptions that I ought not to have.

I would very much appreciate it, then, if you would help me with this.

[helborn]

I meant more "hey it's in this room ... okay let's close the door and add a new room in its place". But we could Cask of Amontillado this, too.

[youandyoualone]

[There's the psychic equivalent of a bark of laughter.]

'For the love of God, Montresor!' Do you know, the narrator's name would mean 'my treasure' in d'Angeline?

[helborn]

Yeah. We read it in school, and my French is not that great but that one’s pretty easy. It’s a cognate.

[youandyoualone]

Ah yes. Because your world's English is a bastardized language with more in common with d'Angeline and Skaldic than proper Cruithne.

[helborn]

Is your world's version of English that weird? Huh. I'm no linguist by any means but we could compare notes some time.

... And maybe you'd actually be able to help me figure out what my problem is with trying to learn French... I don't know why I can remember other languages but not the language I actually needed where I grew up.

[youandyoualone]

My world does not have English, as such. Merely Cruithne, which I have been told sounds a lot more like a language called Gaelic than any other in your world. But then, I believe Alba in your world has been invaded since the Tiberians left and in my world it was not.

Even so, I would like to help you with your French. We can play language-learning games, such as the ones I used with Alcuin and Phedre.

[helborn]

... You'll have to draw me a chart, I think. I can try in return though history wasn't my best subject.

... I'd like that. A lot.

[youandyoualone]

Well and so. When this ordeal of a Jaunt is finally over, I shall come to your home anon and we shall practice.
