{Diva appears on the Plane, sitting on an unextraordinary mail box and (since Dero told me to), now wearing a nun's habit instead of the Victorian clothing she was wearing only the other day}

Ne, after talking to the twins, I have something nice for everyone! Since without a merger, it might be hard to talk to people here, I thought it'd be nice if we could at least send each other letters. So, according to the Twins, as long as you put the recipient's name on your letter and put it in here, it'll get there. Oh, and packages too, but they said that the things inside can't be alive, alright? Just anything you'd send through the mail normally!

{She hops off with a smile, tapping the top}

I hope that it's fun for everyone! I'll definitely be writing a few letters for some people. ♥

Could you speak it - let me hear the difference?

[madamemoiselle]

{Nods, and she speaks in the dialect of the mid 19th century, which I would demonstrate for you if I knew what it sounded like. I only know there was a difference, oops. But with the more modern French,}

Le Français est vraiment une langue merveilleuse. Je veux dire, il est très élégant toute l'heure.

The difference is like the difference of the dialects of French. They sound different if you've trained your ear for one. I actually used to have the Eastern France dialect, but when Grigori was teaching me, he made me speak in the Parisian French instead.

[didorothy]

I'm afraid the distinction mostly went over my head.

[Sam is fail Sam!]

But if it's as any different from Parisian French as Manunian is from Scouse, I know what that sort of gap means.

[madamemoiselle]

Then you know what I mean well enough! Ne, but languages is something I've always been good at. Probably the only...ah..."academic", I think it is, thing that I'm good at.

[didorothy]

What about music theory?

[madamemoiselle]

About what?

[didorothy]

...You know. Music notes, the history of, different types - Baroque and Romantic and whatever else - uhm... I don't actually know much else. Melody and structure, maybe.

[madamemoiselle]

I didn't even know that was something to study! I just play and sing what I like. It's worked well enough so far.

[didorothy]

Do you know parts of speech in grammar? Gerunds and infinitives and all the subjunctive and that?

[madamemoiselle]

...I beg your pardon?

[didorothy]

...Apparently not.

[madamemoiselle]

Is that a bad thing to not know?

[didorothy]

No, just---I thought, with being trained in languages---forget it.

[madamemoiselle]

...Ah, but...Is it something I should know, Sam?

[didorothy]

No, you seem to do well without it. It's just surprising.

[madamemoiselle]

Mm, well if it's not important, I guess that's alright.

{She smiles a little} As long as it's not bad, anyways. I miss a lot of things, I guess.
