♐ fifty-seventh shot
[ Dictated in (American) English ]
It's not surprising how multiversal and multi-linguistic this place is. I'm not sure if it's a good thing that the castle just... fixes this for us or not. I sort of wonder just how much we all would've learned about each other if we had to learn to communicate with each other first.
It also makes me wonder just how accurate the standard language was... I mean, phrases can't be as universal as we imagine them to be. There had to have been some serious misunderstandings that we were never even aware of.
[ He writes down the following phrase in three languages: Russian, Egyptian Arabic, Spanish, and French. ]
If anyone is still looking for translation services, I'd be glad to help. My name is Oliver Queen.

You know I almost hope it doesn't come back. I want time to learn some of the languages I've heard over the journals.

It's likely to do that anyways so I might as well earn it for once.

Not to jinx us but, you don't think this place is going to randomly change on us, do you?
