"What are the details of this ability?"

She thinks.

'If I hear or read any words I know what they mean as long as I know what the thing they mean means.'

Permalink

"How does this apply to homophones and homonyms?"

Permalink

'What are those?'

Permalink

"Homophones are words that sound alike, but mean different things, like 'winter' and 'plastic wrap'. Homonyms are words that are spelled alike but mean different things, like 'splinter' and 'Tuesday*'.

*Green has six day weeks, so this is a cultural translation.

'I hear what they mean.'

Permalink

"Does that apply to sentences that can work either way, such as, quote*, 'I love the [sunshine/bread]?'"

*Committed of Truth tend to be pretty explicit about use-mention.

'You meant that to not be either one.'

Permalink

"Do you have means of telling what people are thinking apart from distinguishing ambiguous verbal communication?"

Permalink

'Written maybe?  Maybe others with research.'

Permalink

"What kind of research?"

Permalink

'Getting better at music and playing it a lot to try and learn, or maybe with some learning how things work from humans.'

"But you cannot do this now during the course of this interaction?"

Headshake.

Permalink

"Is there anything else you want to show or tell me?"

Permalink

'I don't know.  What will happen now because of this?  I want to be able to earn money.'

Permalink

"I would be moderately surprised based on the information I currently have if you found yourself unable to earn money with the resources I understand to be available to you. My intention is to return to the House of Truth and compose a release about the things I have observed here today, with my stamp on it. It will not contain the address. You will be able to make reference to this statement if you wish to convince someone that you are capable of magic."

'Is there anything else you want to know?'

Permalink

"I was only asked to consult on your ability to do magic but I am also personally curious what allows you to accomplish it."

Permalink

'I was a fish person from a different world and part of the fish people royal family, who have done lots of magic for a long time to make us more magic.  Mine is music but there are other kinds.'

Permalink

"Apart from the fact that you can do magic, do you have any way to substantiate these claims?"

Permalink

 

'Not yet I think.'

Permalink

"Thank you for your cooperation with my questions. Good evening." And she departs.

Cool!  That wasn't so bad.

Hmm, if she wanders around and visibly exists Committedless to Shavan does he have anything to say.

Permalink

"Hey! How'd it go?" he asks.
