[/i] to confirm. Well that makes sense." That was one of the pew positive notes about learning Latin, many of their own words were taken from the Latin words meaning the similarities were vast. This would of course also help her search through law books since many of their terms were Latin as well.

"Dare to give." That was a little more difficult. Still she copied the word onto a piece of paper in both Common and Latin to place it into her memory palace. "E-ed-Edificare. To build. Well an edifice is a large or imposing building, therefore derived from the Latin Edificare." There was a tone of pride in her voice as she put two and two together to come up with the answer. This was of course a detectives favorite past time. A smile stayed upon her lips as she wrote the words in one of her many notebooks.

"Let's see now we have... laborare, to work." Again this made sense to the detective. To work was to labor, clearly this was taken from the Latin root. She wrote both on her paper. This part of the work was simple yet she knew that once she moved into actually conjugating the verbs it would be much more difficult. Conjugation was a tricky subject in any language, it only seemed easy in common because she had grown up with it, there was never any real 'learning' of that in the formal sense. She shook her head and looked back to the lesson, eager to learn the rest of these verbs.

"Legare to leave or bequeath." She repeated. It took but a moment for her mind to make the connection. Legare was akin to legacy, what one left behind or bequeathed unto another. She wrote both words on the paper, adding in the word 'legacy' between the two as a connecting idea or phrase. Something she would recall that could help her remember this word if she as ever stuck. Perhaps that was what set Kinsey apart from others, she always planned in case she should fail, thus a back up plan was there to save her. Over confidence was the ruin of man after all.

There were but two verbs left on her sheet now. "Orare to pray." She wrote this down frowning as she sought to find a connection. The word was similar to orate, which would be to speak though prayers were not always spoke aloud. She jotted it down anyways and hoped the words were similar enough for her to recall. One word remained. "Vocare to call." This had an easy enough connection. Vocare, to vocalize, to call. She knew this was meant to be a difficult language however the similarities made it easier in her opinion. Though she was sure that would all change once she moved into conjugation.[/font][/ul]

[/i]." She copied this onto her paper, writing in list form and writing which form it was besides it so she could look back to her notes and reference it easily.

"You leave would be legas." This too was added to her list. He, she, and it were all wrapped into one with the ending of -at. "So that would make the word legat." She made a special note of that since it was so similar to the 'you' form she did not want to confuse the two later on. Next was the conjugation for 'we'. "That would be legamus." The word left her mouth carefully as she worked on pronouncing the word correctly. Latin was not a commonly spoken language but she did not wish to sound like a fool when she used it.

Next was 'you' in the plural form. That ending was -atis. "Legatis." She noted this in her book. This portion was simple, changing them over when you had a list in front of you was simple, remembering this conjugation would be more difficult. Finally she had reached the last conjugation on the list, they. So the word for they leave would be legant. She carefully said the word as she marked it on her paper. She looked down to the next paragraph in the lesson. It explained how 'a' was a key letter. It was true that all the endings except the 'I' form had an a.

Now it showed her a list to translate on her own. The first word listed was 'laboro'. She recalled the word meant work, though the o clearly indicated it meant 'I' thus the word meant 'I work'. That was simple since it was the only 'o' ending in the conjugation list. Next came 'legas' that was easy enough. She had worked with the word in her practice list. Legas meant you leave, or you bequeath depending on the translation. She still copied it into her book, a smile upon her face as she worked through the list. She was doing fairly well all things considered.

Granted she couldn't form a sentence yet but still. She returned to the list, next was 'edificat'. Edifi- was to build. She recalled the connection to edifice. '-at' was the he/she/it form therefore edificat meant he, she, or it builds. She copied it into her book before moving on to oramus. She easily translated it as we pray and took note of it in her book. Vocatis came next. She recognized it as you call, though you in the plural form not the singular. Finally on the list was legant. This one she of course recognized from her practice and she translated it as they bequeath, or they leave. More notes went into her book and she sat back blinking, clearing her eyes from the words swimming before them.[/ul][/font]

Glersee (Trail Markers)
Rank: "E" (5 TP at all times)
Skill: Skill
Effect: A special language, enables a user to interpret and communicate by using trail markings.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture; Picture Glersee is a unique form of communication developed by rangers and scouts, combining symbols and the use of stones, sticks, etc. to mark trails. They are able to pass vital information to comrades without letting the enemy know what's being said. Those conversant in Glersee can interpret the signs left by others before them, and they can leave signs for others. In addition to these symbols, stones, sticks, and other natural material are used. For instance, two stones placed on top of one another means that a steep mountain or cliff is straight ahead. Two stones placed side by side means the trail is relatively unobstructed. Sticks placed in the form of a cross means that the road branches off ahead and is safe. Two sticks placed in the form of an x means that enemy troops are up ahead and that it is dangerous. A pile of stones with a stick on top means that a cave is nearby, but that there is danger in the cave. Each time learned user gets 5 die roll to increase the skill.

Animal Mimicry
Rank: "E" (5 TP at all times)
Skill: Skill
Effect: A character with this skill can imitate noises made by various animals.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This skill allows the user to imitate any animal and/or monster noises that he is familiar with. This may be for common birds and farm animals, but the howls, cries, grunts, and bellows of monsters require the character to hear the noise at least twice before they can mimic it. Higher skill levels allow imitating louder and more complex sounds as well as ensuring a greater success rate. A successful check mimics the noise precisely, but a failed check means that the sound is wrong in some way (pitch, resonance or volume). Creatures and persons familiar with the noise detect the fraud, but other creatures or characters in earshot could try to determine if they detect the fakery (assuming they know anything at all about the actual sounds). Those clueless to that particular beast are duped. Hunters often use Animal Mimicry to fool animals while scouts use this skill to send signals to their allies. Look in Task Skills thread found in the Skills and Traits Index for more information. Each time learned user gets 5 die roll to increase the skill.

Try to make it into a story that follows a red line, currently you just learn one thing at the time without any connection between them.

Obviously, the ability to speak the language of the person you impersonate is not granted. The character may need to purchase clothes or materials depending on his disguise.
