[QUOTE="JimAde, post: 1436133, member: 16739"] Dexter says, [color=royalblue]"It looked to me like some of the characters were ancient greek and some maybe archaic Chinese, but some I didn't recognize at all. I recently read your paper on Indo-Aryan orthography and its possible influence on Tibetan and Miao, so I figured you'd be the person to talk to."[/color] He reaches into his pocket and unfolds another piece of paper. [color=royalblue]"I went over the original as carefully as I could and made this copy of the symbols,"[/color] he says. [color=royalblue]"The source is, as you can tell from the copy James gave you, modern. Done in ball-point I think."[/color] After handing over the paper, Dex shifts a little uneasily on his feet and waits anxiously for Professor Wilson's reply. (OOC: Sorry I've been out for a day or so. If possible, I am trying to Aid Another on any further Diplomacy checks James has to make. I did specify I was making a hand-copy of the symbols for just this reason, since the original was described as faint and hard to read.) [/QUOTE]
