    Can you please just use normal vocabulary? That's definitely not right.

    Jenny didn't seem to hear Jace, her attention focused only on the game. She was doing rather well and seemed to be approaching getting a high score.

    In a pinch, ill-tempered sea bass can be substituted for laser sharks.

    Yep! I've been to places where they predominately speak Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Tagalog, Greek (if a port in Greece counts), and Turkish. Does your home have wallpaper?

    I've been referred to as a mouse before. TPBM is wearing a rubber band on their wrist.

    Granted. Your socks are always wet. I wish for some stickers.

    "I want to look for flowers." Jenny looked around, a bit overwhelmed by all of the games. She wasn't sure where the flowers would be. Maybe they didn't have any flowers; that would be pretty egregious false advertising. She started to wander through the aisles of games, wondering if the lotuses would be hidden among them. Scanning each game, nothing seemed to pop out at her. Just as she was about to turn around, she noticed a particularly flashy one. It had a large pad-thing on the ground with blocky arrows on it. The screen showed more arrows. Squinting, she was able to make out the words "Dance Dance Revolution". Suddenly filled with curiosity, Jenny stood on the platform. This caused the arrows on the screen to scroll downwards, and after missing a few, she realized that she was supposed to step on the pad's corresponding arrow. Quickly getting the hang of it, her focus seemed to be on the game entirely. She'd completely forgotten about the flowers.

    A powered form has proved to work just fine, hasn’t it?

    I got some pretty great results

    Yay, mission accomplished! You might like the real book, then! I read Sarah Ruden’s translation, I think the translator makes a big difference. (Again, heavy content warning though. It holds several views consistent with its time period, making parts problematic. Not necessarily a bad thing since it’s an interesting insight, but just a warning.) What’s interesting/kinda funny about novels from that time period is that they used the same general plot for everything oftentimes. It’s especially noticeable in Metamorphoses because it’s a bunch of smaller stories. The theme of curiosity = dangerous is extremely strong, with a few distinct story types (not a hard and fast rule, but pretty common). Also, as a general rule, everything had to have a shipwreck in it somehow. Ancient Greek romance novels are “boy meets girl meets pirates” according to my professor (corroborated by the two we read) If you were in rhetoric school, “write a shipwreck in a new and interesting way” was probably an assignment you’d have. Leucippe and Clitophon is a pretty cute and surprisingly nonproblematic ancient Greek romance novel considering the time period it’s from (still a bit problematic, though. Also, content warning 2.0). (Sorry for the block of tangentially related text, this subject is just so interesting to me!)

    But is it safe to use against a Sicilian when death is on the line?
