Experiment Log 02: Film Theory [Open]
[Anyone passing by the theater in Limbo today, whether out of chance or curiosity, will find that it's running another one of its' "special presentations". In between the usual mix of random gibberish and actual films are two short clips, both featuring the same young girl.]
[Neither of them is a particularly long memory, but it's enough to see that the child in question is unmistakably a much younger Medic.]
[The first is a cheerful little memory, in it's own... unique way. At least the cat seems fine.]
[It's the second one where things get a little uncomfortable.]
[The source of the memories in question, once someone has eventually clued her in that she's getting another fifteen minutes of fame, can be found sitting in one of the theater seats and absently eating popcorn while staring at the screen, lost in thought.]
I didn't remember until I saw... Was the video the cause, or did it appear here because I was going to remember soon? [Thankfully, she doesn't seem too bothered by her personal business being shown publicly, but she does seem pretty wrapped up in contemplating it.]
[Alternately, if you show up later, you may hear a lot of thuds and clatters coming from the back.]
[Apparently, she's trying to get answers from the source by locating and breaking into the projector room. Her success is... mixed at best.]
[On the bright side, she left her giant bag of popcorn unattended. Free movie snacks?]

[She's so excited, she's making happy little hand gestures. There's so much scientific potential here.]
And then I tried speaking to him in Chinese, and it didn't translate at all! It seems like Purgatory created one "common language" for us all to share by translating whatever we speak the most, but if someone's multilingual it doesn't parse any additional languages, regardless of what those languages are! [A pause.] ...Which means I should probably get better about remembering to stick to one language for my research notes, otherwise it's going to get difficult to share them with people.
[The journals she's usually scribbling in are filled with pages of notes in both languages. She has a habit of writing horizontally in English and then vertically in Chinese so she can cram extra writing into the margins. It's verging on incomprehensible for anyone but the original author.]

I believe I know other languages, but I hadn't thought to try them. No real reason to. Might be a bit rusty at them as well. But if I started writing something out, not in this...common denominator, it wouldn't translate at all? That is fascinating.

[He hums a little something, with a vague tune to it, and scribbles. It is very clearly Latin.
Deus dormit et liberi ignem faciunt, numquam extinguunt, ne expergisci possit.]
I think that's from a song.
no subject
I don't know the words or recognize the song, but that looks a lot like Latin to me. I don't really speak Latin- no one does these days, it's a dead language- but a lot of medical terminology is based in it... [Is... is he from the past? DID THE PAST HAVE HOBO KINGS AND NO ONE TOLD HER???]

That one's from a poem, I think!

You know, it does appear similar to signage in a city I recall. Not as the predominant language, but certainly prominent--a bilingual society, perhaps.
