SUDDENLY, LANGUAGE LAWS!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
IT IS HERE, FINALLY. That which many of you have been waiting for and asking for, and that which we mods have been racking our brains over and which we finally figured out! That which comprises yet another BEHEMOTH of Landel's Damned guidelines!
LANGUAGE LAWS AT LANDEL'S
We tried our best to explain everything as thoroughly as we could, and though there's a simple little version of the rules up top, we'd like it if everyone read through the giant thing at least once so that we're all on the same page and there aren't any misunderstandings.
But haven't all these rules been contradicted by just about everybody in the past? Yes, they have! But it's okay, since we're just going to do a cleansweep and make it so that, suddenly, at the very beginning of this Nightshift, Landel's magic will make everyone's language perception snap to fit those rules, and from then on, we'll be working off of those guidelines.
I know it's a lot to read, but at least it'll help us all be consistent, yeah? D:
In other news, as you can see here,Court has totally kicked my ass again we're slowly but surely getting to the finish line! (I sacrificed app-reading time today to work on the Language Laws, as I figured we should clarify all that before Nightshift.) Hang in there, those of you who haven't gotten e-mails yet! D:
Also, Leora, where are yoouuuu? MR. PUDDLES NEEDS YOU

But another thing that just came up (in chat) was that if some D.Gray characters chose their background language as their main - example, if Kanda chose to have Japanese be his default, it would mean he would hear everyone else speaking in Japanese to him, right? So then, how do you think Kanda will respond when someone like Allen Walker starts speaking fluent Japanese to him when he's used to everyone from his canon communicating with English? It'd be like if a Japanese transfer student came to America and all of his/her American peers were speaking in perfect Japanese.
D.Gray is just overly complicated, I'm convincedno subject

Kind of wish I knew where Rhode was from originally so I could have some fun, but at least it's cleared up in case I ever do get some canon info on her~~ <333
