[guess who just spent WAY too much time trying to decode that, in just about every way possible, to no avail? it definitely wasn't bill. he certainly didn't try it in every single direction as swiftly as possible before getting extremely frustrated, nope. definitely not.]

FINE, YOU GET A FREE PLAY.
BUT ONLY BECAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST THING I'VE SEEN IN CENTURIES TO STUMP ME FOR LONGER THAN LIKE, TEN SECONDS.
SO WHATEVER.

Are you new to this?

[ that's one way to figure his secret code out... ]

[ rose is in a state of wonder with regards to how long she's been able to keep this going... ]

You are the man with the plan!
I can teach you the ways of the gibberish.
Where do we begin?

START WITH THE PARENT LANGUAGES IF YOU DON'T MIND. I'VE NEVER COME ACROSS ANYTHING LIKE IT.

[..... okay, now she's REALLY pushing it. but there's others using the same kinds of words, and calling it the same thing......... and native speakers don't necessarily have to be intelligent linguists. maybe he can still learn from her.]
