General "Hey I need to say something to you/ask you something/etc., Mr. Da Quirm!" post. For those of us who never know where to share that funny link, ask that nagging question, or what have you |D

Posting this here because it's the most convenient journal :>

It has come to my attention that the Arts and Crafts hut is under the control of the Host Club. Leonard will be looking for the Arts and Crafts Hut. So! I need to figure out how to work this and also probably get permission. I don't know what the protocol for creating new structures is anymore, woez.

1. Leonard can build a new Arts and Crafts Hut. Or. Or the old one can inexplicably mitose and we can wind up with two identical ones! Solution being a second Arts and Crafts Hut, at any rate.
2. A new floor can just mysteriously appear on top of the old Arts and Crafts Hut, and Leonard can occupy that.
3. Leonard just moves in with you all! ♥ ♥ ♥
4. Neither, all out! (suggestions?)

Tortue: Tortoise or turtle--a shelled reptile of the order testudines, crown group chelonia. Also slang for a slow person. Because the disc sits on a turtle, in the Discworld, "turtle" is sometimes used metonymically for "world", both in language and in symbolism.

Modèle: model. 1. A figurine or scaled representation. 3. A design; a pattern. 2. Exemplary.

Modeler: to shape; to design. Conjugates in the first, second, or third person singular present tense as modèle.

In French, as in other Romance languages, the noun generally comes before the adjective that describes it. Therefore, the term "tortue modèle", assuming that we are using the adjective or noun, is translated into English as "model turtle", which I came up with after someone on the chan (was it Tot? I think it was Tot--I don't remember exactly, though) suggested something to do with being a model prisoner. Except I didn't like the way it sounded in English, so. French! Which has the added feature of automatically sounding all pompous but actually being something very stupid in translation.

I don't even like French wtf.

Also, yes, it is also possibly a call-out to Leonardo the turtle. *waves*

Character name: Leonard of Quirm
Series: Discworld
Age: an unspecified (but venerable) age somewhere between thirty and ninety.
Job: Incongruous Professor of Aesthetic and Kinesthetic Philosophy in the Natural and Mechanical Arts (AKA Arts and Crafts Counselor)
