[OOC] Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

[HereComesTheSnow]

I'm actually making something of an effort on learning Japanese, the colorful Finnish is just for this story and the character it introduces.

[Crimson Raven]

Hmm...

*hides Latin*

[HereComesTheSnow]

Would "Borea Gigas" be a decent enough moniker for a wintery form of a Geist, then? Trying to follow the theme they seem to have set with "Northern Giant" in latin. Maybe "Polar" as well.

@HereComesTheSnow

Too complicated. :P Just call it the Abominable Snowman and be done with it.

"Geist" is German, so why not find a more Germanic name?

Oooh I see. I wasn't aware that they had different names for the Geists.

Huh. I also didn't know that the knight Weiss (sp? Too tired to care) fought in the White trailer was a Grim-possessed suit.

That's the spirit@MULTI_MEDIA_MAN!

Finnish and Japanese, @HereComesTheSnow? Damn, I barely get English, and that's my native tongue...

I feel like I should learn a new language, considering the characters in my short, short, very incomplete story speak Spanish and I do not. Though perhaps I should be more concerned about making something passable for tomorrow's deadline.

@FlitterFaux

for once i actually wrote a story without using french

they can't call me a francophile anymore

[HereComesTheSnow]

I feel somewhat proud that my first semi-coherent Finnish sentences are entirely comprised of various profanities.

[NaraK]

the sailors are rooting for your achievements

[FlitterFaux]

Congratulations guys! :D

@Crimson Raven

I have spent 7 years of my life studying this language and it can still confuse me. Seneca could be really rough at times.

@Onarax

I'm at best a hobbiest really. I know some basics, but but I'm all self taught...which isn't much.

I like it though. Mostly because quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.

Remember, the contest deadline is at midnight Central Time. If you at least want the 1 credit award and haven't started, I suggest doing it now.

[HereComesTheSnow]

did we ever go over how weird the scaling is

[NaraK]

Scaling?

[FlitterFaux]

Hilarious. I can brush off the possibility of dying at any moment but gods forbid I should ever fuck up my finances :D

[Crimmy]

Scaling?

@NarayanK

The jump from 5k to 20k.

[NaraK]

@HereComesTheSnow I wanted to make a hard challenge. 3 total credits at 5K was the original final goal, but then I added the 4 total Credits 20K goal because, well, it's there for people who want to shoot for it.

[Crimmy]

Submission in. Around 11k words.
