[It begins with a shout. And then:]

HEAR ME!
I am he who BURNS and THUNDERS.
I am he of RUSHING FIRE.
I am every SPELL and SCOURGE.

That you have come to this land which I have claimed for MYSELF and for my FOLLOWERS.
That you have disgraced my SERVANTS.
That you have wounded those who serve ME.
That you have denied my claim on this LAND.
That you defy me in my RIGHTS of dominion of this place from its HEART to the RIM of the world.

O that my mouth could consume you, that my mouth could eat of your flesh.

I am he whose mouth breathes FIRE.
I am MASTER in this place.

Defy me NOT.

That the strength of my SERVANTS cannot hold you.
That the force of my SERVANTS does not bind you.
That you would battle ME as you would an army.

VERY WELL.

If you would stand against me, hear my WORDS:

MAKE unto me a SACRIFICE such as would PLEASE ME and see if I grant you MERCY.


[ooc: Yes, it's the goat!!! This message is broadcast across the Network in real-time. (Special thanks to the Bornless Ritual.)

As of 6:00pm Eastern Time, if your character made an offering to save the City, please consider that offering as having been made and consumed by the goat. See this post for more information.

If your character is down in the City, feel free to have them hear strange sounds and see flashes of lightning and shadow coming from up on the mountain while this is going on!]

[She sighs softly.]

New enough that I haven't encountered a talking goat before, never mind one with delusions of grandeur... or godhood.

This is a novelty for me as well.

Hmmm. Your accent. Russian?

[Small sigh.]

Sorry. Habit.
candothat: (Smile: Pleased)

Yes! Western Russia.

No, no--that is fine. Are you a linguist, ma'am?
ladycroft: (my point)

[personal profile] ladycroft 2013-11-01 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Thought so.

[Then she speaks quietly in Russian.]

No, I have just travelled a great deal and seem to have a knack for languages.
candothat: (:D)

[He replies in kind.]

I have a friend you should talk to. Her specialty is xenolinguistics, but she is also interested in extinct Terran languages.
ladycroft: (interest)

[personal profile] ladycroft 2013-11-02 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I might have met her, though I did not see her so I cannot be sure. She was taking notes of what languages I could speak and thought no one spoke French anymore.
candothat: (Smile: Lopsided)

That would have been Lieutenant Uhura, I am sure. Many Terran languages have become obsolete.

[personal profile] ladycroft 2013-11-02 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a shame. French is such a beautiful language. Russian is still around, I see.
candothat: (Not listening)

[personal profile] candothat 2013-11-02 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It is one of the more widely-spoken Terran languages outside of Standard. Russians will not give up their culture.
ladycroft: (lace)

I am not surprised they held on, but am sorry to learn that the French did not.
