Alexandra was pissed as she ran down the streets of Manhattan. Her red hair blew wildly in the wind and she had no idea how to calm herself. As she walked she bumped straight into someone. "owww Goddess darn it!"ooc) hope you know old english

"You ought to watch where thou art going." Martha said, irritated.
((I've read pleasure books in old English honey:) ))

OOC) whoa! Awesome...another pm is coming up
Alex nodded. It didn't hit her that the woman was speaking old english until something told her she was out of it. Now having dropped her stuff she picked it up these were various documents on residents of Salem Villiage past. As she picked up some original document that were preserved in baggys, she thought the woman that had just scolded her was a) irritated and b) familiar but she could not for the life of her put a finger on it.

"Who art thou?" Martha asked, her sharp eye catching the name 'Salem'. ((thank you ))

Alex could speak SOME old english so she tried it out, of course it wasn't perfect she was used to the modern terms. "I art called Alexandra" she said hoping that was right. She gathered her belongings wondering why on earth this woman was using old English but she looked so familiar she wanted to cry.

"Alexandra . . . a curious name." she peered at the girl closely. "Art those tears in thou's eyes?

Alex shook her head. Having graduated college early with a colonial history degree she knew who this was now, her sharp eyes did give her away if nothing else did. "I beith fine" she said firmly as she kept herself from adding the next phrase that she swore it.

"Tell me why thou talketh in old English. I knoweth that not everyone here speaketh in my tongue."

That comment gave the girl a small smile. "nay they doth not...I hath learnt it however...I hath learned history of times past" she said as she jumped. Her cellphone rang. She picked up the phone only to pull it back from her ear, it was her mother yelling in Korean she sounded pissed. She let her yell then hang up. "I art sorry....it beith nothing" she said knowing how strange this would be.

"A strange device indeed! Pray tell, what doth it do?" Martha stared at the cell phone in curiosity.

"it....." she faltered not knowing how to explain it. Then she looked at the woman again she looked younger then how she was supposed to look but she was sure of who she was. Martha Carrier. "oh my God" she said in a quiet voice.

"Taking the Lord's name in vain wilt get thou hanged from whence I cometh." Her attention was diverted from the cell phone to this girl's strange manner.

She nodded. "I art sorry" she mumbled. Girls back then as she had learned were supposed to be compliant and obedient so she followed that tradition here. "Who...Who art thou?"she asked not knowing if her English was correct or not, she needed to check what she thought she knew.

Should she tell her? a lot of things were making sense now but there were still missing peaces but still, she had found honesty to be the best policy. "Aye" she said with a nod. "tis be true, I do"
