~~~>Seth's Journal<~~~
(The following journal entry was written in green crayon and with very blocky hand writing.)
Journal
Hey. This is Seth. Daddy just got me you and, well, I have to write in you I guess. I guess I have to write about what's going on and such. Well, a while ago I got this snake named Pandorphone and she's beautiful! And what's better is I can actually understand her! Sorta, anyways. It's a little difficult cause they have their own little way of speaking so it's more like ideas and less words. Either way, she's actually a lot like sissy and only likes me.
I gots another snake too! Her name's Xandria and she's way nicer. Her and Pandorphone don't get along though, so they have to stay in different homes. Oh! And sissy grew too! She doesn't spend as much time with me either like she used to and goes out at night a lot. Daddy worries about her, specially when her and Gabriel started dating... Daddy got so mad and they were yelling and arguing a lot that night. Gabriel is cool though. I like him.
I've been seeing a lot of people lately too. And there was this lady I saw at the game store and she looked like she ate a baby! She says it's something about being preg... pre... I dunno but I hope I don't catch it! D: Daddy just laughed when I asked and said he'd tell me more later and Ily... I try and ask her but she never listens long enough to reply.
Oh well. She'll get tired eventually and then we can talk! And have fun together and all sortsa things! ^__^ Yeah!
Seth

~~~>Learning A New Language<~~~
((NOTE; This is written from Seth’s point of view in way. All voices are portrayed in how Seth hears them, not how other people would. Otherwise this would be a very long and dull solo, not to mention excruciatingly confusing. And yes, Seth can speak snake language, though this is where he actually gets into the nitty gritty of how to really understand it. Currently it’s more body language and ideas than words.))
“What?” Seth asked, lifting his head up from the coloring book he had been working on. The pictures had been neatly colored with crayons, staying within the lines and even being correct on the original coloration. It had taken him a while to get through an entire picture so when he heard the soft hissing of speech coming from nearby, his attention had been successfully diverted. When neither Pandorphone nor Xandria spoke once more, the naga’s eyes slipped back to his coloring book.
“Ssseth.” Snapping his head up, Seth stared at the huge branch-like decorations along his far wall. Blue eyes stared him down at him from a high, thin branch closest to the heat vents. Brown-red scales shifted as the snake moved to wrap better around the branch it was currently perched on. Still, neither reptile spoke again as he watched them. Xandria, the green and white-scaled Emerald Tree Boa Constrictor was fast asleep under a dim heat lamp. Pandorphone, the brown-red scaled one with a strange white x on her head continued to stare him down.
“Ssseth. Time to learn how to sssspeak,” she finally continued, head swaying a little bit as if debating on moving lower or where the best place to strike would be. Xandria, being a boa constrictor, didn’t usually rely on her fangs when warding people off. Pandorphone, as Seth learned very quickly, did. Thankfully she was severely reluctant to use the poison so no one had gotten hurt all too badly as of yet. Still, the fact that she was even talking to him and suggesting she teach him how to speak was... unusual.
“Speak?” Seth asked, moving to sit up and get a better look at his dear friend. A soft tsking sound emerged from her, silencing him further.
“The wordssss of our kind young one. I have no patiencccceee for quesssstionsss sssso lissssten carefully,” Pandorphone hissed, struggling to get across what she meant to him. She had found it odd that a being such as himself could understand her and that should could understand him. Unfortunately, how much he could actually comprehend was minimal and close to that of a hatchling.
“Ok. What we going to ssstart with firssst?” Seth asked, wincing as she reared back her head and bared her fangs. “Sssso many quesssstionsss!” Seth sighed as Pandorphone went off in a tangent of hissing words he had no meaning too. Still, he got the gist that she wasn’t exactly saying anything nice and was cursing his existence. Once finished and recomposed, purple irises met blue ones once more.
“Thisssss isss a-“ Seth frowned, once again words without meaning reached his ears. It took him a long moment to realize what she was referring to was the tree she was in.
“Tree?” A soft nod, then her tail jabbed at the bed and another word met his ears. Repeating her odd hissing sounds, they started naming off things in the room in an odd sort of class. Eventually Xandria, grumpy at the loud noises and being woken up, started to pitch in. Thankfully she actually knew how to read and once more Seth found himself learning strange words and the like from flash cards and books originally meant for writing.
“Ssso, you two are in a... a... plassstic tree?” Seth asked tentatively, hoping he had said everything correctly. Cheering softly when he was indeed correct, the three started a conversation in a way to test his knowledge.
“And you sssleep in a what? What isss it you were doing previously?” Xandria asked, slowly slipping closer to him.
“I sssleep in a bed and I wasss coloring in a book,” Seth replied gleefully. How long had he struggled to understand his closest friends? How long had he guessed at their conversations and gotten countless things wrong? Their language was complex, combining sounds, smells, and the smallest of movements to convey words and ideas. It made English sound insanely simplistic.
“Seth? What are you doing in here? It sounds like something’s leaking in here...” Damon called through his door, softly knocking on it a couple of times before opening it. Seth knew his father never exactly had to do knock, seeing as he had nothing to hide. Ilyrosa did, but he never did.
“Xandria and Pandorphone are teaching me how to talk like them,” Seth replied simply, giggling at the confused look that crossed his father’s face. Damon could never understand what he meant and often questioned his sanity when he said such things. But the naga knew he wasn’t crazy. After all, how was it he could get the two snakes to behave and change moods in the blink of an eye with nothing more than a couple of hissed words? Call him the snake whisperer!
“Riiight. Well, dinner’s going to be ready soon downstairs. Made spaghetti and no, they can’t eat with you,” Damon replied, leaving the doorway and vanishing down the hallway.
“Another time, young one. Asss you age, you ssshhhall underssstand more. Now go and eat, for we mussst rest,” Pandorphone murmured, already coiling up for a nap beneath the warm vents. Xandria had already returned to her previous perch and was once again fast asleep. Seth didn’t need to be told twice as he switched the lights in his room off and wandered off after Damon in search for the meal he had been promised. It was only the beginning of what they would teach him, and he had a long way to go in fully understanding his friends and distant cousins.

~~~>Lesson Two; Constriction<~~~
((NOTE; This is written from Seth’s point of view in way.))
“Ssseth, awaken from your slumber. Arissse and lisssten to me,” Xandria hissed softly into a pointed, green-freckled ear. Seth yawned and shifted in his sleep but didn’t rise from his slumber much to the emerald snake’s irritation. “Sssseth, get up,” she hissed again, jabbing at the child’s shoulder. Once again, the naga simply moved away and deeper into his little coil. With what had to be the snake’s version of a sigh, fangs flashed briefly in the dim lighting before sinking slightly into the child’s shoulder and away from generally anything important.
That woke him up. With a squeak of surprise, Seth’s eyes shot open as he sat up and looked wildly around. Upon seeing his friend resting just outside his nest of blankets and pillows he called a bed, his panic lessened and was replaced by an exhausted yawn. “Xandria? Wha? Wh-why did you wake me?” he asked with a yawn, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Didn’t they understand he both liked and needed sleep? Apparently Xandria understood his irritation and hissed warningly.
“You are not a sssnake without ability to conssstrict prey. I have another lesssson for you. Do not sssleep!” Xandria hissed, tail suddenly wrapping around his arm and squeezing tightly. “It cannot wait!” Seth sighed and stretched a little once his arm was released, glancing at the time with another sigh. It was practically two in the morning and he was being woken up for a lesson in something violent. Great. “I’m awake, I’m awake,” he muttered, moving to make room for his friend with a bit of difficulty. Everything was molded to fit him in sleep, not himself and a friend whilst awake.
Xandria eyed him for a long time, swaying ever so slightly as she did. The boy was unusual, giving them a reason to actually use words and thoughts. Normally life was spent eating, catching prey, sleeping, and various other tasks. Yet this one managed to awaken them from such a monotonous life and breathe in a new energy. It didn’t change her all too much, but there was a reason to speak, to await an actual answer. In fact, the whole thing was incredibly strange at first and certainly took time getting used to. “Find ssssmall, ssssssoft objectssss of different sssssizessss,” she hissed, coiling up to watch the boy. Such a strange boy, half human and half snake whilst also being of dark and light blood much like his foul-tempered and impatient ‘sister’ and partially his father.
Seth did as he was told, wondering what exactly his scaly friends thought about him. They often slipped between the realm of instincts and actual intellectual speech, making their movements and activities incredibly random and difficult to predict. Thus when they started up their little “How to be a snake” lessons the naga had been pretty surprised, but didn’t protest it. They were smart, so they had to know something right? Might as well go along with it lest they give him hell for not.
“Usssing your tail, grab that pillow,” Xandria commanded, voice quiet and slow. Eyes glinted in the dim light, watching the boy attempt to do what she requested. With unlimited patience, the boa waited as Seth tried and failed miserably to grab hold of the large pillow. It wasn’t that it was too big, just that he lacked the ability to maneuver himself to accomplish such a feat. “Guide it Sssseth, do not attack it,” she commented, hoping the advice would help. Taking said advice and moving slowly, the naga eventually wrapped himself around the pillow lightly. “Now, tighten your hold on it. Remove all the-Good, good. Now releassssse it.” The pillow dropped to the floor limply, flopping over once the support was removed.
“Grab that... ah, toy,” Xandria continued, jabbing at another object. Seth simply nodded and did as he was told and this time grabbing it the first time. The movements were awkward and slow, but the stuffed animal was successfully grabbed and nearly crushed to his teacher’s satisfaction. Toy after toy, pillow after pillow, the naga wrapped himself around the varying sized toys and constricted around them much like constricting snakes did to their prey. As dawn approached, the emerald snake simply nodded her head in approval.
“Enough. Resssst young one. Usssse your sssskillsss wisssely from now on,” Xandria commanded softly, allowing the boy to lightly rub her head. “Alright. Night Xandria,” Seth replied, yawning widely. He had been up the entire night practicing, wasting valuable sleep on something he’d probably never use. Oh well, if she felt it necessary he supposed there wasn’t anything he could do otherwise now. With that, the naga curled up in his little nest of blankets and pillows and fell fast asleep.

Journal
Journal;
Hey, it's me again. Figure I'd give you a heads up that this is going to be a long entry just to sum up everything that... boy has made me go through. Well, it's not that he's been BAD, per se, he's just been somewhat of a handful with how incredibly different he is from Ilyrosa and I. The boy's sweet, innocent, and downright painfully cute. He's liable to give someone diabetes or something just by hanging around them long enough I swear.
Anyways, enough rambling. First things first is those snakes of his. Ever since he brought home Xandria, a gift from Phoebe apparently, I've caught the boy talking to the two he has. Then I find out he's been taught how to do things by them like speak their language and constrict things. Ever since he learned that I've found the boy hanging from things like a loony monkey and giggling when I find him. Bloody loon he is, I swear.
And I have to remember not to give him too much sugary sweets. Kid becomes waaaaay too hyper only to crash and sleep for two days straight. Terrible thing, though I'm sure Ilyrosa would just destroy the house and not be any different afterward. It worries me how different they are, though more for the fact that I'm scared they'll end up killing each other. Er, Ily hurting Seth I mean.
Speaking of which, that boy has found incredibly strange people to be friends with. From a green Santa to a spider girl that likes to bite, I have a hard time keeping up with them. And then there was that whole "what's pregnancy" talk with him that got seriously nowhere. I mean, how am I supposed to explain that stuff with him if I have no idea what parts he HAS? I try and explain but I might as well talk to an infant about it for all the good it'll do me. Ugh. Maybe I'll try again when he's older and has a better grasp on life. Yeah, that might work.
Or I could let him figure that stuff out on his own. Could prove interesting in the long run. Maybe I will do that...
Damon
