part 199 audrey twos

[aphanon_meme]

... so, it somehow didn't quite register to me that it was already part 198, so 198 is close to 199 which is one away from 200, which is 200 parts of this meme. I feel like a proud mama Umbridge

Enjoy part 199!

Dänemark, just what do you think you are doing? These are library property; put them back at once!

Re: RP Situation

[whatsthehammer]

Yeah, well. Nobody's stoppin' me, so they're mine now.

[looks at the cover of one]

Hey-- that shit kid brother of yours says you can read. Can ya?

Re: RP Situation

[bake_einsamcake]

I am not nobody, so you better acknowledge that I'm stopping you!

And yes, I can read, but I don't see why I should help you with it if you pillage public libraries and insult my family. Stop it and I might.

Sorry for the slow!

[whatsthehammer]

[opens his mouth to, well. you know --mouth off again-- but suddenly!]

[idea!]

....ya mean that?

[ponders the merits of reading these books rather than selling them. who knows? could be worth it!]

It's fine! /o/

[bake_einsamcake]

Yes. I don't see much value in getting each other into fistfights, so if you put the books back and refrain from taking other things intended for free use I will help you with your literacy.

[whatsthehammer]

[.....hm]

[pulls a random book off the shelf and hands it to you]

First, prove it!

[bake_einsamcake]

Why, this one is in German. What a coincidence.

[looks at the cover]

Andersen's Snow Queen! I take it that you don't know that one... well, not yet.

[opens the book at a random page, starts reading]

Da setzte sie sich hin und weinte; aber ihre Thränen fielen gerade auf eine Stelle, wo ein Rosenstrauch versunken war, und als die warmen Thränen die Erde benetzten, schoß der Strauch auf einmal empor, so blühend als er versunken war, und Gretchen umarmte ihn, küßte die Rosen und gedachte der herrlichen Rosen daheim und mit ihnen auch des kleinen Karl.

[snaps it close]

Content? Or should I provide a translation as well?

Snow Queen! <3 Also, so sorry again-- gotta get to sleep for morning classes!

[whatsthehammer]

[safe to say his eyes have glazed over along the way]

[they're....almost familiar-sounding words, on the very cusp of linguistic comprehensibility, and yet]

[nods his head]

I have no idea what yer sayin'.

I love it too. ❤ Sleep well (and forgive my Danish, fff)!

[bake_einsamcake]

[finds the page again and translates the excerpt into modern Danish (since he can not speak Old Norse)]

Da satte hun sig ned og grä... ah, græd, men hendes tårer faldt netop på det sted hvor en rosenhæk var sunket, og våd som den varme tårer af jorden, skød busk... omfavnede på én gang op, så blomstrende som han sank, og Gretchen omfavnede ham, kyssede roserne og tænkte på de... dejlige roser hjemme og med dem på den lille Karl.

Did this make things clearer?

Now stop going viking on the meme's public venues and I'll keep translating things for you when it becomes necessary - provided I have the time. Think about it. I consider it a good deal.

[puts the book back in its place, nods and walks off; his lunch break is over]
