[As part of the celebration of 0134 being promoted up the faction ranks, there's been minor construction work throughout the Grounds. After a week, a magnificent fountain with waterslides is in the center of the grounds with unusually bubbly water shooting out the spout. There is a plaque]

"The Bounty of Water: A Lost and Recovered Work of Bergholt Stuttley Johnson. Dedicated to the hardworking Agents of 0134"

[However, soon after the installation, everyone from Enforcer down will notice their clothes disappearing from the laundry, and if one walks by the fountain at the right time they'll see socks, shirts, and unmentionables shooting high up into the sky, without concern for colors or dyes]

It's worse when it's not normal than when it is.

...so, because you spend so much time half naked, it gets really awkward when you're around anything that might have to do with taking off the rest of it?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

You don't get it!

Or maybe you just can't explain it to me. Ugh, this is why human languages are terrible. Why can't everyone just be honest and speak Hymnos?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

What does that have to do with anything?

It's a much better language for describing your emotional state. The conventional grammar makes it almost impossible to say anything without adding how you feel about that.

[And its incredibly romantic to propose in as well.]

I don't know whether I love that idea or hate it...

It's the first language I ever learned to speak, so I guess I'm a little biased. It's all I ever heard until I was about ten. The modern language doesn't hold a candle to it.
