[video] Leslie Knope: Socio-Linguistic Coordinator

[lesliemonster]

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.

That's a really good thing to know, you'd be surprised how often it comes in handy.

[lesliemonster]

Like during ASL conventions?

[batmanschmatman]

I can't say I've ever been to one.

[lesliemonster]

Then when has it come in handy for you?

[YOU ARE SUCH A WELL MUSCLED MYSTERY, DICK.]

[batmanschmatman]

[Ever since Cass literally introduced herself to the network as Batgirl, the whole secret identity thing has kind of taken a backseat for now. :c]

If you need to communicate with someone but need to stay quiet. As long as they're within visual range, it's handy.

[lesliemonster]

[That was so awesome.]

I see. I see.

[batmanschmatman]

What made you decide to learn it?

[lesliemonster]

I needed a language credit in college and it was one of the only seven a.m. classes available.

[batmanschmatman]

I'm going to have to parrot Dean here for a second, and this is saying a lot, coming from me, but when do you sleep? [There are so many reasons Dick did not last for more than a semester at college, and seven a.m. classes may have been one of them. :V]

[lesliemonster]

Why does everyone ask that? I get a solid three hours a night!

[Said 100% without guile. She may be a metahuman.]

[batmanschmatman]

I guess that's not bad.

[Leslie Gotham could use more politicians and government people like you.]

[lesliemonster]

Thank you.

[Unless there is an opening for Batman, no thank you. Your city sounds like a terrible place to live.]

So...

[batmanschmatman]

[It is, and we don't even have a raccoon infestation. :c]

So, when were you thinking of holding the event?

[lesliemonster]

Sometime next week! I can count on you?

[batmanschmatman]

You bet.
