((I'm pretty sure rarebit just sent the message with "Banshae: " in front - the system messags aren't character-based like tells and shouts and so forth.))

Sorry but, what the HELL did she just say?

Why is she allowed to talk like that?

I'm sorry, but there is no one on earth, who speaks in such a heavy accent, or whatever that is.

This is such crap...

If I can't get subtitles, then I demand she be fired from using a key board, forever.

Approximate translation:

Psst.... Don't tell her, but the lady Persephone is making her way to her library to read some poetry... Perhaps if we happen to show up, she will share some with us. Meet me at the McClane Tower in Akasaka if you would like to surprise her.

Wow.... I wish I'd been there to sit at her feet and hear her speak such fine words...

((Very well-done event; nice to see character-developing ones from time to time. We need more like this to balance out the usual shoot-things events.))

I happen to love Banshae's accent

Though Persephone is only reading deep poems. Most of the time when someone picks a certain passage or  poem out of a huge book collection, that poem or passage they choice to share with others seems to have some sort of mental or emotional connection with the reader.

A large part of her selections seem to center around the phrase, "I envy you. But such a thing is not meant to last."

A very nice distraction from all the hubbub of the War. Very creative event.

(( I like the accent too although i find it hard to understand some times because i feel it is a little but exaggerated and im irish myself >_> but id does give some great depth into the possible background of a character... Also did Banshae do the World shout :O ? is this a sign that Liason's will be given some commands to allow them to organize events a bit more ? or was it just rarebit that did it ... ))

Wow, Nicho, such a romantic soul this clip makes you appear.

I said during the event that the poemes she read reflected Persphone, perhaps her origin, perhaps something she misses. Put with this clip, and other recent events with Persphone and her statement duing Merovingian missions could it be the lady is disallousioned with her "love?"

Hmph. Thank'ee kindly, Kabut'ra.

... Cannae say's though I'm much fond o' poetic words, howe'er.
Th' Lady may be taken w'it, but 'tis of nae sense t'me.
I suppose I'm mar o' a "numbers" kind o' lass...

For Tosuno:

Hmph. Thank you kindly, Kybutra.

...I can't say that I'm much fond of poetry, however.

The Lady may be taken with it but it doesn't make sense to me.

I suppose I'm more of a "numbers" kind of lass..

((Actually, I like the idea of the accent... but it is a little hard to decipher sometimes.))

((Thank you Star. I honestly did not know what she just said... this is no joke. I am going to make some serious complaints if her accent is not toned down. Because you knwo what I understood out of that? I will show you:

Hmph. Thanks kindly Kabutra.
Lady may be taken it, but is of *undercipherable word* sense time.
I suppose I', *undecipherable word* O A "numbers" Kind less.

And the first thing she said, oh man, that was even better:

Pssst... Dinner tell are, but the lady Persephone's making are way her library thread some peotry... may apes if we *undecipherable word* show up, she'll share us. Meet me at McClane Tower Akasaka if in *undecipherable word* like suprise are.

Perhaps I am slow, or perhaps it is because I am dyslexic, but it's so not fair that I actually have to ask people what she is saying half the time. ))

(( Text based accents are difficult, yes, and can be hard to master, but when all you do is mesh a whole bunch of it together, and cram every other word with cheap abbreviations, it becomes cheap, and not very fun to read.

I don't know, maybe I am just aggravated that I am unable to read anything she says on my own. But I stil lthink this makes for a most unenjoyable time trying to figure out what she said. If I had been a merv during that event, the only thing I would be able to make out is McClane Tower Akasaka. ))

(( Text-based accents can be tricky. Reminds me of when we read Huck Finn back in High School - half the class couldn't make out the heavy southern accents used in the book.))

I'm in Houston and even we had trouble figuring out what they said in Huck Finn.  Plus, I hated that book.

But I love Banshae's accent!!

How cute this is.....Merv's having a poet night. Next time you meet, will Pep read love letters and bedtime stories?

Good night!

You sir need a new sig

/endofftopic

Ok so for no good reason I was reading through some old posts I made and what not and came across this.

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300000384

Thought it was weird that what is a list from a while ago still has something happening that pertains to it. I am of course referring to the last bullet. I think most of the other things have been figured out/ have happened and what not.

(( The key to understanding Banshae's accent--despite the fact it's not actually hard to understand--is to read it as you see it. You will sound Scottish, as is the intention, but things will click, like 'nae' meaning 'no' and 'cannae' meaning 'cannot'

And seriously, 'mar' is 'more' -- I thought that was obvious.

But meh, I guess I'm just used to it on this side of the pond. ))
