Okay, I don't know if we're supposed to speak according to Tower of Babel *within* our Confessional (let me know if we do), but I just wanted to update you quickly with a funny thing.
So I've been hyped for Tower of Babel this whole time, right? I mean, I boosted the damn thing.
So WHY in the name of Noah Webster did I see Hades PM me in a foreign language and immediately say.... "OH SHIT" ?

Clarification question: when we translate other people's stuff, do we translate it directly to English, or to our assigned language, and then English?

More chaotic hilarity: this is what I wrote to Persephone:
Gardening is a perfect activity for Persephone to do. Great choice!
In Malayalam, that translates to:
Gardening is a great way to enhance your lifestyle so have fun and treat yourself. Great choice!

Dude, Deimos' poem slaps!
In the fields of the Pantheon the poppies are beating
Wait, did you say puppies? I do not know!
We note our position and kiss the sky
Liars still fly bravely
Rarely understood by anyone below
- The bored Demi you miss talking to you

Oh my gosh, I am having way too much fun with Google Translate. If I write, "Dude, that poem slaps," it translates to "เดธเตเดนเตเดคเตเดคเต, เด เดเดตเดฟเดค เด
เดเดฟเดเตเดเตเดจเตเดจเต!" which means "Dude, that's a poem!"

My experience with this challenge:
Nailed the first story. Nerded out a little bit because it's Percy Jackson and Annabeth being cute and awkward (and I assume this was a fanfiction; if so, kudos to you, mods). I finished it with time to spare and remembered all of the details I was supposed to.
Enjoyed the second story and finished it with just a couple seconds to glance at a couple of areas to retain some complicated info. Did not remember all of the details I was supposed to.
Had a hell of a time understanding most of the sentences in the last one (was it run through Google Translate, by any chance?) and I did NOT finish by the end of the timer. Meaning I missed the last word. Which makes me mad because in the other two, I made sure to take a second to read the ending before I was even halfway through, just in case there was less time than I thought. ๐

Imma pull a Cerberus here...
Sad Head: Nobody's talking anymore... I logged out of Survivor for a couple of hours, and when I came back, I only had one new PM, and there were hardly any notifications from any of the public threads.
Happy Head: It's okay, buddy. They're just taking a break because it takes extra work to talk to people right now. That's understandable, right?
Angry Head: Pssh. Weaklings.
Sad Head: I know. But I miss talking to everybody. I mean, it was fun to have so many hilarious things to read, and I think we did a good job coming up with responses to make everyone laugh.
Happy Head: Oooo! I know! LET'S SPAM ALL THE PLAYERS WITH FUNNY MESSAGES THAT THEY HAVE TO DECODE!
Angry Head: You know that shit can get annoying real fast, though, right?
Sad Head: And then nobody will like us anymore.
Happy Head: No, no, it'll be great. Because then they'll be laughing!
Sad Head: I guess. But sometimes it's exhausting to laugh really hard.
Happy Head: I thought you wanted to make people laugh.
Sad Head: Well, come to think of it, I'm pretty tired and could use a break, too.
Angry Head: Yeah, cuz LIFE is exhausting.
Happy Head: *sighing and pinching nose* You both are exhausting.

GODDAMN IT! I was counting on other people doing worse than me. Iโm usually awesome at reading comprehension. Ugh if it hadnโt been for that last story that broke my brain with every sentence, I could have crushed it.

I have a confession.
I may or may not have backed down from typing up a PM to Maat/Hathy to say we should try and vote out Phobos and Deimos PURELY because I've been on a roll with analyzing/venting about Twilight and I apologized to him and said I would shut up about it if he wanted me to, and he said don't you dare stop venting AND I NEED HIM IN MY LIFE!!!
I've reached a new level of nerdiness. Or maybe I'm just pathetic. ๐

! ! ! ! NEWSFLASH ! ! ! !
Persephone is not as sweet and innocent as she appears to be.
Apparently, she just sent a long-winded, angry message to Maat and Hathy about all of her grievances against them. AND Persephone straight-up lied to Jesus and told him that I was trying to vote for him, when I only mentioned Jesus' name on the list of people I had heard as options, after which I specifically said I didn't want to vote for ANY OF THEM.
So yeah, Persephone, babe, you're going down.

Smaller update: Jael also opened up to me about how they don't trust MH at all, and they never really bonded with Cerberus and think he's too pushy about the whole Titan Strong thing. I had specifically asked for her feelings about both of them because she kept asking me what I wanted to do before she would tell me what she wanted to do, and I finally figured out that those two players were probably her preferred votes. And I don't want to make her suspicious of the Life & Death alliance, so I said I understood her reasons for wanting to vote out MH, and the info about MH giving different info to different people tracks (which it does, actually... might have to have a talk with MH to make sure they're more careful with that). So I didn't flat-out say, "Yeah, let's vote out MH!" but I tried to make it sound like I would consider them.
As for Cerberus... I was being honest when I said that I'm considering them. I mean, in reality, I'm not considering them for *this round* but I'm losing our bond, and there's the possibility that he wouldn't be trustworthy if we voted for Persephone...
But he might actually be down for that this round after he heard that Perse is pushing for MH and also strongly considering him. So maybe Ceebee will remain a trustworthy ally. I hope so... but if it's just Hades, MH, and me on the Life & Death alliance, that's okay.
