So, yeah. Sorry about still not having Chapter II done; I've got writer's block. sweatdrop So, for today's filler, I have the translation of the bottom of Opal Deception. Once again, I'll post in white. Text starts on the next line.
A recruitment letter from the centaur Foaly, technical consultant to the Lower Elements Police:
Trusted ally,
If you have decoded this Gnommish message, then you are a deputy officer in the Lower Elements Police. You will not be aware of this fact because it is the practice of the LEP to mind-wipe our human allies. We do this so they cannot remember being recruited. If you cannot remember the fairy People or our underground city, then you cannot betray our existence to the greedy humans. Of course, not all humans are greedy. You, Deputy, are a noble member of your species. And clever, too. We only recruit the best. Our intelligence department studied your file, and concluded that you were suitable for LEP membership. At the moment, you are only a deputy officer. To become a fully-fledged officer, you must complete four tasks. Number one: decode this message. Something you are well on your way to completing. Number two: save the life of a member of another species. You can complete this task in any number of ways. Open a window to release a trapped fly. Build a bird bath in your garden. {note: I have no clue how this saves any birds. Seriously, WTF?} Release a mouse from a trap. Number Three: Achieve a perfect score on a school test or homework assignment. In this job, you need to be smart as well as fit. Number Four: Wash yourself every day for a week. This is a difficult assignment, especially for human boys who don't like contact with water. If you are going to work underground (often in cramped tunnels) you will appreciate a partner who does not smell like a hermit dwarf. Once you have completed these tasks, you mus summon your recruiting officer in the ancient fashion. Go to your backyard or nearest green area. Make sure you are not being watched. Find a soft spot of ground and burrow a six-inch hole with a broom handle or short stick. When your hole is ready, tap out the letters L-E-P in Horse Code. The code for L-E-P is as follows:
L: tap-tap-wiggle-tap
E: wiggle-wiggle-tap
P: tap-wiggle-drill
Do this at least a hundred times and our underground sensors will pick up the vibration and send an LEP officer with your uniform and orders. Good luck, deputy.
-Foaly (Here the message repeats itself again)
Again, sorry about the delay with Technomancy. I have a few ideas, but no concrete plot (yet).
Until then,
