Translation Fail Plot

foolyoutwiceHullo! As discussed a while back--and now with Moderator approval!--I will be hosting a plot for a (partial) failure of the Milliways translation field.
Loki, getting bored of fishing the traditional way, will be dabbling about in fish-luring spells down at the lake, thanks to the library's collection of magic books. That would be merely an ecological disaster anywhere else, but the babelfish living in Milliways' walls will be affected as well, condensing in the part of the walls nearest the lake as they try to obey the spell. The result will be translation failures in the building--but only in parts of it. If you want your character to be entirely unaffected, they can be.
(............some might at this point ask "but if the babelfish translation manages to work throughout the grounds even if the fish are only in the bar walls then why would this be a problem." the answer is, uh. uh. magic. magic is why. those poor fish are feeling very stressed and it's throwing off their usual biological functions.)
My plan is for this to kick off next weekend. Say, FRIDAY THE 13TH, since we have one this month. It'll last a few days (i.e. no new translation-based EPs after one week, though of course people can finish up threads indefinitely.)
If this timing is super duper impossible for someone who really really wants to participate, let me know and I can see about rescheduling?
If anyone wants other fish-based weirdness to happen, also let me know!
