There were three drafts before I sent it on to you. Enjoy.
[ Good thing he asked before putting together the list, because otherwise it would have just been a mess. Nico also figured he should put a little tidbit of where it came from, what the letters were like - even if Palamedes won't know any of those places. ]
Written in non-Greek letters it looks like this: Chaírete. Pronunciation: çe.re.te [ A switch to voice to also say the word for him. ]
[Know that he will mutter this word to himself over and over such that he can say it correctly the next time Nico comes by, in true huge embarrassment fashion.]
Three drafts is an impressive start. Thank you, this is a good start to my linguistic collection.
Impossible, I'd say. Unless we start considering living bodies an untapped thanergy bottle, but I'd have to object on the grounds of not being a serial killer.
Is the title something that will make me groan in pain in a month when I can read it properly?
I could pull from dying plants, if that's what you mean. In theory, if you kept doing it indefinitely, I could keep going indefinitely, too. Hydration and food breaks implied, of course. But that would also kill a lot of plants.
Does it have to be something that's dying for you to draw from it? I know you said thanergy was limited and all the necromancers use it, but I don't play by those rules. Do you think our forms of death manipulation would be compatible?
Don't know; I've never tried other forms. Ordinarily I'd say no, but I'm also some kind of mystical blood wizard now like everyone else, and our darkblood does bend the rules of normal reality. A strong maybe?
Let's think of some ideas. Maybe one without killing too many things will pop up.
And sort of, but not the way the rest of you conceptualize them, I think. A flesh magician, myself for example, could puppet a corpse around in a pinch. There's also the notion of the Beguiling Corpse, which is an incorruptible body (read: it doesn't rot) with a bit of spirit attached that allows it freer movement, if not proper sentience. Counter to that would be what I'd call a 'hideous corpse,' where the body is rotting but the spirit is whole-- a haunting in that case, a revenant.
I think both of those qualify for 'zombies,' by what I've understood a zombie to be around here.
[Hmm, yes, he totally wanted to think about Nico killing things for him today. It hits different when it's not just plants implied? Presumably beasts, but the danger levels? Nico isn't a cavalier, and that isn't a bad thing— mmph.]
I'll allow it-- in an emergency. Still, let's fiddle with the workaround idea in the meantime. No emergencies to speak of yet.

[Operative word "should," he's seen his fair share of rambling nonsense research. Anyway, it's a compliment.]
Thank you for this. You said your language is Greek, right? One of the ones with an alphabet I've never seen, it seems. How do I pronounce that one?

Three drafts is an impressive start. Thank you, this is a good start to my linguistic collection.
no subject
How many drafts does a book go through, exactly? What else are you putting into your linguistic collection?
no subject
I suppose I can survey for other languages that aren't Earth-based.
no subject
It'd be cool to learn an alien language.
no subject
As soon as I've catalogued an entire alien dictionary, I'll let you know.
no subject
If you're interested, I could teach you Greek.
no subject
I would absolutely like to learn Greek.
no subject
Okay, how good are you at multitasking? I can teach you while we do other things.
no subject
And I am very good at multitasking.
no subject
Then we can start when I'm over at the Sanctuary next time.
no subject
Sure thing. I'll start a new notebook.
no subject
I'm going to make you write the title in Greek.
no subject
Is the title something that will make me groan in pain in a month when I can read it properly?
no subject
Nah, I'll let you pick the title, you'll just have to write it in Greek.
no subject
Generous. I'll come up with a good one.
no subject
Does it have to be something that's dying for you to draw from it? I know you said thanergy was limited and all the necromancers use it, but I don't play by those rules. Do you think our forms of death manipulation would be compatible?
Looking forward to hearing it.

Also, does your universe have zombies? Still fleshy dead.

I think both of those qualify for 'zombies,' by what I've understood a zombie to be around here.

[ Since Palamedes' cavalier isn't here to kill things for him. ]
Huh. Yeah, those sound like zombies. Guess Jules-Albert would be kind of middling, then.
no subject
I'll allow it-- in an emergency. Still, let's fiddle with the workaround idea in the meantime. No emergencies to speak of yet.
Jules-Albert?
