Z'verse 3. Zoe's Room . Second Day of Shopping.

Ghosts don't really need to recharge.

Swindle was still getting used to that fact when he turned the emitter back on with the first rays of light. Being 'awake' didn't bother him so much, he had plans and ideas to keep his mind occupied.

"Odd I recharge in the Dream, but not here," he said to himself, as he glanced over from where he sat, watching Zoe and Silver still snoozing away.

She tilts her head as she gives Ariel a last pat, then walks over to him. "Would you like to look at my language files?"

"I would love to," Swindle said with the slightest of smirks, "There can't be that many, can there?"

If Swindle only knew...

She blinks and smirks just a little herself. "According to minimal estimates, there are 2,500-3,000 idioethnic languages on Earth, but maximal estimates state the number is much bigger."

"Wait, wait...one species? On one planet?" Swindle was flabbergasted, "How do they communicate? How to they get anything done?"

"One species, one planet, one reality." Zoe chuckles. "And that's not counting the pidgins, slang dialects, and the invented languages. Most people have at least a passing knowledge of English... or 'Basic', as I've found it called on other worlds. I guess that helps."

"Hooo-liiee Slaaag..." Swindle muttered, "Perhaps just the more..common..ones..."

Earth just went up a notch on Swindle's 'This planet is insane'-o-meter.

"I know six languages from Earth, and one of them's one of the made up languages. Though that could be useful in the Nexus." She grins at his expression, then lowers herself to sit on her heels beside him.

"Six does seem a more manageable number," Swindle considers.

"English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, and Klingon." She quirks a brow plate. "You might have to wait till we get back to the Dream and link to get the full files for all of them, especially since I have more than one dialect of English. But you should be able to soak up enough to figure out what I'm talking about even without the hardware of your processor."

"I know English, for the most part," Swindle nods, "Some sort of Chinese, and..some German. Got that from Blitzwing. Not enough to know what anyone would be saying normally, but when Hothead gets really mad, he curses in every language he knows..."

"So did my human honorary aunt." Zoe chuckles, then looks over to the table by the niche. "I guess I should be sitting by your emitter for this. Oh, by the way. I'm carrying that with me today. The last time I left something high tech down here it wound up turning into a Nroo."

"Turning...into a Nroo?" Swindle blinked. Well, that would be...an experience, to say the least.

She nods. "It's not spawning time, but I don't want to take chances with visitors, either."

"Guess that would be for the best, I don't know the exact range of this emitter yet," Swindle said, "I don't think I thanked you for it yet.."
