Translation of Quinn's incantation Outside:

"In the name of Neirian, I command this water to be purified. The evil within it banished to whence it came, and the taint it has spread repaired. This I command as My Lady's champion and vessel, thus it has been spoken, so shall it be!"

Cookie for the language. No cheating!

[Beans]

Looks like Gaelic to me.

Which is the language I use for Carrie's Aspects' names.

[The Bushranger]

Be glad Morty isn't around to go "RAWR NO SUCH LANGUAGE AS GAELIC".

...but close enough. It's Irish. Since Google Translate doesn't have Terentrian.

[Lex-Kat]

Neirain was originally the goddess of Love and Death, when she appeared to try and save Fan, the power hungry vampire who was trying to redeem. It wasn't until later that she started possessing Lex and became associated with the pixies.

I don't really consider her half mind anymore,, since you've done so much plot stuff with her. But thanks for asking.

Really? I must have forgotten, it's been so long. I thought she was always associated with the pixies.

[Beans]

Yay.

Gaelic, Irish, it all sounds like potatoes to me.
Ah, joking 'bout my heritage.

Although I dunno if IrishGaelicIrish is really fit for Carrie since she's a Scot...
Aw, whatever.

[Lex-Kat]

Try finding a Welsh translator.

[Beans]

... I need to make Carrie more Scottish...
I had actually put the work in to make her first aspect use the diction and transcribe some of the pronunciation of Scots English.
At the very least, I need to put in the occasional "ach!"

And Welsh spellings are pretty nuts, aren't they, in regards to how they're pronounced?
That would be both fun and difficult.

[Lex-Kat]

Yeah, those crazy Welsh. They made everything complicated, so no one could easily understand them. Silly Welsh.

[Beans]

I learned all I need to know from this nice lad.
*overuses words "Funny", "Fair", and "Honest"*

We Scots ha' a prrrrroud tradition a' wearin' skirts tha' are more masculine than pants, living on moountains, getting rrrragin' sloshed, an' murrrrrderin' the hell outta one another wi' great big swords.
... Carrie just became terrifying.

[TechnoScrabble]

Waitwhat.
I was born and raised in Ireland, and I've never heard anyone say 'no such thing as Gaelic'.

Though I have heard people say 'it's not Irish, it's Gaelic/Ogham/whatever.'
In which case, they're usually wrong because I wasn't speaking in any of those languages when someone asked if I was speaking Irish.

At the time, I was speaking German very badly.

[Beans]

... Man, I should just start using casual Welsh in my daily speech. I've got Irishy roots and Scot/Englishy roots (Anderson clan, if I'm told correctly) but I don't think I've got any Welsh...
Anyway, heh.

Techy, that's... inter-ma-resting.
I had a little Gaelic phrasebook when I was younger. Wonder where it is.

[Reinholdt]

Deadtime for me.

[Murkus]

I sorta wanna play Susurrus, but KK seems to be in some heavy deadtime. >>

[Zefir]

I'm back again.
Somewhere I'm needed?

Murkus there is still Mia in the Room, but I don't think she will let Sus go since soul eating isn't good as far as she knows^^.

[Murkus]

Feel free to have her interact, but I figured as much.

[happyturtle]

It's almost as if people object to having sapient beings used as food!

[Murkus]

Ayup.

I thoroughly suspect Susurrus is going to grow to hate everyone anyway, despite the fact that he isn't evil at all. >>

[happyturtle]

He thinks his own life is more valuable than the lives of his dinner and gets violent when people object. I mean, that's not Phil level of evil, but it's up there.

[ThirdEmperor]

Phil

EEEEEEEEVIL!

[Murkus]

He's a predator. He needs to eat just like anything else.

Honestly, you expect him to starve? It's not evil, it's self-preservation.

Of course, I created this character to be debateable.

[Zefir]

The most problem is that normal humans think soul eating is bad, because you kill other humans.... Mia just got a loop hole .. maybe.

[Morty]

There is such thing as Gaelic. It's a family of languages that contains, among others, Irish Gaelic.

Used my cat as inspiration to make a character design/personality. Twas fun.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That's adorable! X3

Ahem. Nice work. >_>

On a related note, drawing a mechanical eye is hard.

Anyway, heh.

I always felt Welch was a bit strange. still loved Ivor the engine as a kid though^^.

I'm half Scottish myself (MacDonald/Kennedy) , though I grew up in Hampshire. my English an accent less British English though, which is a shame -.- though I do litter it with some Scots

Guy's about as debatable as Galactus.

[UncleWolf]

I probably have some Scottish or Irish in my blood, but my blood is so mixed, it's not really funny. Pretty much all of Europe but Spanish and the Balkans States, and then throw in Iroquois and a half dozen Native American tribes.

And Norse. Have to keep my Viking Heritage proud.

That's what happens when most of your family stems from a rather large mercenary band of random people who decided to take the same last name. >.>

[ThePhantom]

Hey, Mort and Happy. Do you might if some of the AMEN henchmens in the city show up at the alley?

[Morty]

I mind, actually, since as far as I know they have no way of knowing Rose was just killed there.

[Reinholdt]

Rose is dead? Awww...
