Hey Guys

It’s Jasmine, and I just wanted to apologize for the crap load of names I have yet to do. My compass broke and then I had finals and life happened but I’m gonna get on it and by Monday I will have redone all the names and stuff and I was gonna do it yesterday but I went to get my face messed with and then my face hurt all day and I was on drugs so I just went to sleep. Anyway, we see all of your requests and they are not being ignored and I just wanted you guys to know that!

This tutorial contains alcohol and sexual references.

This is the conversation in English.
“I was drinking last night.”
“You were blowing someone? Who?”
“No one! I was drunk!”
This is the conversation in IPA Gallifreyan.
”anʃʔʃʔ ɪmoz bɪt̪ sukəm alopɛk’.”
”ʃʔʃʔan ɛwoz k’avli əɬ? k’av əɬ?”
”fonɑnok əɬ! odad ɪmoz ʃʔʃʔ əɬ!”
We shall do the first person’s dialog.
Okay, since someone is speaking in this sentence and since someone is speaking in the next, we need quotation marks before both of them. Since the second one is a new person speaking, we need to start a new paragraph. Now, lines can be read in any direction; just follow the links. Note that the first sentence has one quotation mark “ahead” of it and one after it.
Onto the third sentence. This one will be on the same line as the second because the same person is speaking. It also needs a quotation mark ahead of it because it is a new sentence.
Now we repeat with the first person’s second time speaking.

Also, when I was reading your blog, I was tossing ideas around in regards to headcanons. I don't know if you're accepting any or not, but.. uh... here's just a few. One, the style of formal dress with the high collars is to emulate a sort of halo effect like that which is found in classical christian religious art. For them however, it is a symbol of orbital gravity surrounding one's skull in order to signify importance. The higher and more decorated the collar, the higher the rank. Maybe.

Hallo, it's Ericka. I can't find your ask thing on the blog you directed me to in regards to how I wanted the name and stuff... For the finis, I suppose just a regular old full stop? I don't know. I'm indecisive--surprise me. But, as it is Monday, could I request more names? If so, may I request Sarah, Benjamin, and Miyu, (Pronounced Me-you).
