Here is where you can explain what's coming out of your mouth... or what the equipment is you have, and how it works.

You guys have lost your minds... 
But its all good... ;D
Talking of mumble jumble Phalon I was wondering where you come up with the language that your characer speaks at times in the story...is it real? Doesn't look like Greek...but then its all greek to me...hey, I punned! 
In case anyone wants to know, Dixie's incantations are plain old Latin...very poorly conjugated..if at all  
The contents of her pots and vials are purely fictional in description, but if I ever have a need to describe their ingredients I would be happy to oblige!

BOLL, Dixie. I was just telling Scrappy that yesterday - that she'd lost her mind. Been checking the clearance racks at WalMart to see if I could find one for her, but haven't found a suitable one as yet.
The language Phalon speaks is Greek, but not in character. Greek character, I mean, because she never speaks out of character. Hers, I mean.
Scrappy started it, way back in the beginning of the story by having Phalon speak a bit of Greek in one of her posts. So being kind of lazy, (read computer illiterate), whenever I want Phalon to utter something in Greek, I feed Scrappy the line, and she translates it for me, usually giving me a couple of options, and I pick the one that looks the prettiest. (rolls eyes).
Oh, btw, Scrappy. I did that translation thing in a scrolls post. Lost the website address that you so kindly gave me, like what, 22 times. Found a Scottish Gaelic dictionary online and used that - one problem; it was Scottish Gaelic to English and not English to Scottish Gaelic, so it took me forever. Ended up with something completely different than I wanted to write, just cuz I got tired of looking for the words I wanted to write.
Is this how you do the Greek? Let me know, and I'll do it myself next time. Wouldn't want you to go to all that trouble. I figured you just feed my lines into some website and it spat out the translation.
Oh, and Dixie....your not speaking of Phalon's weird language in my last post are you? "Ew Smphf umphf uh Bhwahkuh". That would be English. Spelled phonetically as I placed my hand over my mouth to simulate the Phalon/Yana Guru lip-lock thing the characters had going, and uttered "You Son of a Bacchae."
