Character Discussion / Re: Kosh and Mr. Clubtail

(Ten years later. . .)
The series has an ankylosaur character named "Kosh". That leads me to ask a question. Has the voting window passed the pebbles by yet?

Well, that is interesting. As my stories will be set in the Seven Hunters continuity, I'm especially keen to hear your thoughts, Rhombus.

Would it make sense to you that a conversation between Logos and a fastbiter with a less than stellar grasp of Leafeater would wind up sounding something like the following?



The red and blue-feathered fastbiter stirred the broth that was simmering away in the pot and sighed, "Troud is used to being beast of burden to other dinosaurs' needs. Is very sad life, will probably have very sad death, but at least there is symmetry."

Logos ground her beak in frustration. Though the question of where this dinosaur gained these tools and the skills to use them burned in her mind, there was a more pressing matter at stake. Each moment spent listening to this stranger talk in circles was a moment lost forever. "Look, we're running out of time here. Where did they go?"

Troud pulled back his head as if he'd been slapped, "Run out of time? Impossible! There is endless time." He took his spoon out of the pot and pointed it first at Logos, and then to himself. "Rainbowface will end, Troud will end. This," he dipped his spoon back into the broth and continued stirring it, "is good eats! It's ready, yes it is. Would Rainbowface like some? Troud can take out red food if Rainbowface does not want to eat dinosaur or ground fuzzy."

What concepts do you believe would be difficult or impossible for a dinosaur to communicate? Are there ideas that one language can express that the other would struggle with? I am particularly interested in the limits posed for counting and performing math.

Thanks! One thing that I have to figure out before I start posting is the logistics of a fastbiter's attempt to smoke a cigar. I'm going to assume that they're able to form a strong enough seal with their lips to allow them to suck up water and the like.

That is actually something random, but also very fascinating at the same time, not gonna lie. Have you always been interested in the scientific aspects of many things? :)
It only took me two weeks to reply. :P

Fastbiters attempting to smoke cigars is a result of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey strangeness involving paradoxes and entire worlds being drawn back through time.

And yes, I am very interested in discovering how things work.

Haha, I'm not surprised at all. His LBT stories are fantastic after all! I've read the Seven Hunters and its sequels as well, all the way up to the latest chapter in Mender's Tale.

Welcome to the Gang of Five! I hope you enjoy reading the other fanfics on the forum that other members have written here! :smile
Yeah. He and I have passed messages back and forth on ff.net and DA a couple times about the Seven Hunters continuity, and Emily "Ixerin" Willoughby's paleo art. In fact, my avatar is from a piece that I had commissioned from her a few years ago.

Hello, Everyone. I discovered this forum by way of Rhombus' ff.net profile. Once I've read "Seven Hunters" and its sequels and spin-off, I eventually came to the decision to join this community and make a contribution or two.
