[Oh look some serious-looking glasses girl staring at the webcam like she has a problem with it. She is probably going to start yelling at you all. She looks like she wants to yell at you all, or at least say things very sternly.
Instead she starts waving her arms and hands around.]
[Hello. My name is Shizune Hakamichi, and it seems I'm one of many people captive here. Personally, I find this whole situation unacceptable. While I admit the Exaclan system sounds a little fun, considering it's being forced upon us, as well as the player-weapon system, it's just atrocious. Having a majority of the population being subject to the whims of the few who can grant them rights is practically a tyranny.] [Her impassioned "speech" is such that you can hear her arms cut through the air as she swishes them around while she signs] [And worst of all, our very minds themselves have been violated! I'm finding myself unable to recall important parts of my life, and who knows what else I'm not even aware I'm missing. And on top of what's happening here, what about at home? I'd just come back from a vacation, so Student Council matters were already piling up, what do you think is going to happen if I'm gone even longer? I trust Hisao and Misha to manage admirably in my absence, but the burden is simply too much to bear without my leadership.] [A pause] [Well, I'd love to be proven wrong on that statement, but that's beside the point. I have a lot more important things to do than be fooling around with some kind of inter-school rivalry in an overly-complex and admittedly fun-looking high-stakes but probably rights-violating game over memories that shouldn't be missing in the first place. I demand to speak with whoever is in charge!]
[And now that she's done waving her arms around like the conductor of the world's most indignant orchestra, she types up a text version of what she justHAHAHA NO SHE DOESN'T. SORRY, IF YOU DON'T KNOW SIGN LANGUAGE, ALL YOU'RE GETTING FROM THIS IS SOME ANGRY CHICK WAVING HER HANDS AROUND LIKE A MANIAC. Feel free to text her back though.]

That's fine; it's not exactly a common skill.
I'm Shizune Hakamichi. I just arrived here, as I'm sure is obvious.
[And she didn't catch what Yuki said before, so she doesn't realize the girl understood any of her speech. (unless that first part was signed???]

There are a few people here who know how to sign, there is even a class on the weekends that I've been attending. I hope I can learn enough to communicate with those who can't speak in ways other than text.
[aka she'd love to have a signed conversation with Dave]

You could help teach sign language too.
no subject
I can do a little, but it's a lot easier to teach when you can hear and speak as well as sign.

That's true as well, but I guess we're all just trying to make due while we're here, and that includes communicating.

I feel homesick already. Though I guess that's not too surprising since I'm here against my will?

I was signing before about how I'm going to be missing my student council duties. I really hope Misha and Hisao don't have too hard of a time making up for my absence.
