Hello, everyone. This is Leslie Knope.

[Sounding much more energized than her last audio! And this one is a full on video. She's sitting behind her trusty desk, hair neatly coiffed, suit jacket lint flee. To her side: a stack of idea binders!]

We've got a few exciting things coming up. Keep an eye out for the next book club meeting: we will be reading The Great Gatsby, a book that should ring especially true to life considering the most recent breach. Get your copies now!

But today, I'm contacting you to gauge interest in an upcoming event, inspired by Ms. Romanoff's call for linguists. If we were to host a barge-wide language exchange, who among you would be willing to offer to share their own language skills? It's a unique -- literally, a once-in-a-universe opportunity -- to broaden our cross cultural understanding and get to know one another just a little better.

I'd be happy to help out.

From:

lesliemonster

Thanks, Dick!

[Haha, that's the first time in her life that she's said that without it being an insult.]

Reading over Natasha's log tells me that you speak a gajillion or so languages?

From:

batmanschmatman

I don't know if I'd go that far, but I am pretty fluent in a couple. How about you?

I spent the last two years and four months studying human languages down to their roots. [Which means he's fluent in basically everything. :v] I'd be delighted to share my findings with any interested parties.

From:

lesliemonster

...wait. Does that mean you speak everything?

[That is so much more than her ipod is capable of.]

From:

secretasshole

Excluding alien languages that have developed significantly differently from human ones, yes.

Yes! You were a part of that conversation.

I remember. I took a look at that one and thought y'all was joking, though.

What happens if our language cannot be shared?

From:

lesliemonster

Uh. Because...you don't like sharing? That does not seem like you.

From:

trenchcoatedly

If I were to speak in the true language of angels, I'd likely deafen all the barge residents.

When do you sleep?

From:

lesliemonster

Dean, that's a personal question to ask a lady.

[Organizing events makes her saucy.]

From:

surfaceshine

[...well this is new.]

Yeah? So where does age rank on that same scale then?

Just for future reference.

[There's a click, but then Kay sort of rethinks it. He offered language things before and there wasn't much interest, and the introvert in him kicks in and he just decides to slide back into the background.

So he ends up not diving in this time. Just quietly backing away.]

lesliemonster

[Kay, there is a pool of civic responsibility out there just waiting to be dived into :c]
