[WORLD TWO | SIGNET MELTDOWN MINGLE]

Who: Anyone!
Where: Everywhere
When: Day 197-200
Open/Closed: OTA

[ If you've never experienced that ear-splitting, spine-tingling, bone-crushing headache that comes with Qri doing...something...then you're in for a treat. It lasts for about an hour on the first day, though usually it fades after a while and things go back to normal.

This time, you aren't so lucky. As soon as the headache passes, you notice there's a certain something missing within you. You may not notice it immediately, but the next time you hear someone talk their words might be equivalent to gibberish. When you go to ask someone what's going on with your telepathy, you find that your words just circle your own brain, no one answering because the message simply can't be received.

This...may be a problem. Hopefully you know how to play charades. ]
terezias: (a blind bit of)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-15 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terezi can be found either in the garden or outside the building, scribbling what looks like a grisly execution scene in sidewalk chalk: there's a large monstrous creature (recognizable as His Honorable Tyranny, if you know your troll culture) and a lot of horned faces looking on as some dastardly villain is hanged. She seems cheerfully oblivious to the idea that her defacement of public property might be unwelcome; she'll greet you with a chirpy,]

Hello!

[in "Alternian" that sounds oddly like English, or, if that gets a blank face, she'll simply hold out a stick of chalk and point out a bare patch of floor. Maybe you can try Pictionary?]
witchhooded: (roses)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2018-01-15 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ jade's ears stand at attention; she's curious. the picture before her is gruesome and truly disgusting... in the same way a child scrawling an action scene might be, in some manner. the chalk just makes the image something closer to creepy and unique than... horrifying. maybe.

she's not sure. her mouth opens for a moment then her tongue sticks out in thought and then she hears terezi's voice and.

hm.

she's a little surprised. ]


Salutations?

[ she thinks! ] No charades??
terezias: (turn a blind eye)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-15 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you do speak Alternian.

[She states this like it is perfectly obvious fact, and not groundbreaking in any way.]
witchhooded: (six weeks)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2018-01-16 06:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ jade waggles a finger, knitting her brows. she looks ready to contest this - it's probably marred by the fact she's got dog ears though. no one is afraid of a furry. ]

It's called English, Terezi! Or well, I thought it was... This is pretty interesting.
terezias: (a gleam in her eye)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-16 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It was Alternian first! English is just your silly human name for it.

[Again, like this is a totally unremarkable and indisputable fact. She considers Jade for a moment before her expression breaks into a mischievous smile.]

He is being tried for embezzlement. They will probably find him guilty.
witchhooded: (the river always finds the sea)

[personal profile] witchhooded 2018-01-17 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ jade considers this, leans into the chalk drawing, strokes her chin. she's sizing him up, wondering how this... man? came to this point in his life. he looks so... proper! hmmm. ]

They are not sure yet, if it's only "probably"! What's his defense?
terezias: (a sorry sight)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-19 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
He may not be permitted a defense. You are not always, in Alternian court.

[She taps her chalk against her chin thoughtfully, though.]

Sometimes they try to pin their crimes on a lowblood underling. This works more often than you would expect.

soulcomet: (human ◡ The beauty perished)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-17 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Alternianglish was her worst subject in school, but she does know a greeting when she hears one! and she knows how to return it.]

Hello!

[that's about as good as it's going to get, though, sadly. Madoka crouches down to have a look at Terezi's artwork — uh. what the heck is going on here.]
terezias: (blind luck)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-19 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Helpfully, still in English:]

It is a public trial and execution. He has embezzled some funds.

[Yeah, good luck translating that.]
soulcomet: (human ◡ a less cool thought)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-23 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[yup, she got none of that. she just parrots a word right back at Terezi, inquisitive.]

Embezzled?
terezias: (a blind bit of)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-23 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Embezzled! . . . It is a term meaning "to steal money you have been trusted to manage."

[There's an amused smile playing around her face.]
soulcomet: (human ◡ a cool thought)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2018-01-23 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
["steal" and "money" are pretty simple words, and Madoka lights up, breaking into a smile, at least understanding embezzlement on its most basic level.]

Oh! Okay.

[she reaches for a piece of chalk, then, because she has something important she wants to convey! um. how does one ask for permission to borrow a piece of chalk in English.]

Can I ...? [that's as far as she gets.]
terezias: (a gleam in her eye)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-23 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Half to Madoka, half to herself:]

Either your Alternian is not very good, or you are very shy.

[But she holds out a piece of chalk for Madoka to take! Go ahead.]

[personal profile] idolpedia 2018-01-17 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
H..hello. What is that, Terezi-san?

[The "Hello" is in English. The rest? She is still learning to phrase things correctly in English. So the rest of what she says is in Japanese. Sorry??]
terezias: (turn a blind eye)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-19 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She tilts her head at Dia. Still in English:]

You are speaking a strange human language, too. Would you like chalk?

[She holds out a stick of green chalk, helpfully.]
idolpedia: (pic#11986470)

[personal profile] idolpedia 2018-01-20 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[From she did understand, at least Terezi wasn't being too offensive? She takes a breath. Trying again.]

Did you...do that?

[IN ENGLISH THIS TIME. Raising a brow at the chalk.]

Me?
terezias: (blind luck)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-22 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I drew the picture! It is a public execution.

[She seems very pleased with herself.]

You can draw, too, if your Alternian is not good.
idolpedia: (pic#11826470)

[personal profile] idolpedia 2018-01-22 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, if you can't beat them? Join them.

Dia will sit down and start drawing!! Public executions aren't nice. So she's probably drawing a nicer and much more tame picture.
]
terezias: (blind drunk)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-23 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terezi is filling in the details on her public execution--complete with rictus grins of the surrounding trolls--but she cranes her neck to look over at what Dia is doing. What is she drawing!! Is she a good artist!! :o]

Is that a hoofbeast?

[She is asking this regardless of whether what she's pointing to actually in any way resembles a hoofbeast.]

[ karkat quickly walks by, stops, and walks backwards until he's next to terezi. ]

Are you drawing more fanart?
terezias: (turn a blind eye)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-19 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
This is an original story. Do not steal.

[She grins, though; she's happy to see Karkat.]

I presume you have noticed the language changes by now.
alienates: (pic#11567229)

[personal profile] alienates 2018-01-19 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
We can still understand our humans. What the fuck. Did they copy everything from us?

[ although they can't understand... every human? which is interesting. ]
terezias: (at first sight)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-22 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you surprised? We could understand Dave and Rose, too.

[She shrugs.]

They seem to have multiple languages, one of which is Alternian.
alienates: (pic#11567163)

[personal profile] alienates 2018-01-24 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
No, we should be able to understand all of then. This feels like a ripoff? We made this planet with our own blood, sweat, and emotion secretions, and yet we can't understand every language?

[ he sounds offended. ]
terezias: (heave in sight)

[personal profile] terezias 2018-01-24 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You will not get very far expecting Sgrub to be fair, I don't think. But it is odd that they speak so many.
