"I wonder what kind of accomplishment counts, Emily's pretty accomplished with conjuration..."

Permalink

"I don't know whether you have to accomplish the thing in this world or not, never having been out of it to check..."

"Well, I don't appear to be acquiring any new limbs, for what that's worth."

Permalink

"It suggests that either whatever you've done doesn't count for you or you would've had to do it in Suranse."

Permalink

"Hard to tell the difference between the two, though."

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

"Oh well. We're going to save the world, I'm sure it'll happen eventually."

Permalink

"Yeah, I wouldn't worry."

Permalink

"Not about that, anyway."

Permalink

"Saving the world is kind of a weirdly worrying prospect!" says Anna, and then realizes she said it in English and manages a less fluidly phrased translation.

"I was actually talking about maybe never seeing my parents again but you're not wrong."

Permalink

"Yeah."

"I mean, like, I'm not judging you for not missing your parents or anything, it's just that mine happen to be excellent."

"On the not-missing-your-parents scale, Anna's a 'meh', I'm the 'hahaha no'," says Cass. "But it's cool. I'm sorry about you guys missing your missable parents."

Pause.

"...No idea how to say that in Aluvai-or-whatever, sorry."

"I wonder if Suranse would be easier to make a demonym out of using modifiers from earth languages."

Permalink

"Suranse...ian? Suranse-ese? Yeah I got nothin," says Cas.

Permalink

"Suransego? Suransais?"

Permalink

"That last one barely even sounds different."

Permalink

"It sounds meaningfully different!"

Permalink

"Sur-an-se, Sur-an-sais... it sounds different enough to me but I might just be charmed by the rhyme with français."

Permalink

"It is plausibly less distinct if you know zero French. I should get Ashras's opinion." She switches to the ambiguously named language and attempts to explain.

Permalink

He follows along reasonably well!

"Yeah, I don't think we'd have much luck getting any of those to catch on. And I think Suransais does sound less distinct to me than you."

Permalink

"Pity I'm not more of a linguist."

Permalink

"Oh well. We get by."
