Twelfth Beat | Am I Better off this Way
Characters: Dave Strider and everyone
Format: Either or
This log is: open
Location: Somewhere in the grass with lots of space; accessible to both schools.
Summary: Dave finally decides that he's going to continue teaching ASL to everyone. Even without the presence of his bucktoothed best friend.
Warnings: Language and possibly a ridiculous amount of cute.
asl
in an hour
heres the location
The grassy area had a few books lying around. There was one opened to the alphabet and a few others were open to some simple, everyday words that were common in everyday use.
Dave was sitting near them, although he was busy flattening his sandwich. It's not like anyone was here yet. Honestly, this was probably a terrible idea. He wasn't cut out to be this people person who helped everyone learn with a smile. That was John's forte. But John wasn't here anymore. Hell, a lot of people weren't here anymore.
But...it was nice. Seeing everyone sign to him. Even if it was a simple hello or the bare minimal. it was nice to see people try to communicate to him. Hell, it looked like they still were trying. Why should he deny them the chance to learn?
Even if it made him nervous.
Because he wasn't used to it. Shit was too personal. This was too much. And it was impossible to read his face. He knew the basics for ASL. Facial expression was important. But he still kept to hiding behind the shades.
He pushed all those thoughts out of his head. Right. Teaching ASL. He can do that. He started eating his sandwich, waiting for people to arrive.

He so took a photo of your embarrassed face. He is the worst friend. It is him. How are you friends with this fourteen year old douchebag?
thats pretty good actually
someone is diligent
alright i guess i can expand your word vocabulary
maybe teach you a few phrases even
no subject
John grips Dave's arm and makes a face. "Yes, diligence is well and good and all, you ought to educate me about words and phrases and -- Dave, what did you just do?"
no subject
ow
shit dude
just ow
no touching rule
its a crappy rule and everyone hates it
but i cant come in contact with you since youre a weapon and im a player
and youre under someone elses vow
chill
its a camera
it takes pictures thats all
never seen one before?
no subject
"Terribly sorry about that. I forgot my place." He rolls his eyes at the inquiry. "Yes, of course I have heard of it, you silly boy. What would good, ol' Prospit be without silly electricity devices such as Pee Dee Eys and Cahmerahs?
"Sarcasm aside, you mean it could take portraits? How is that possible? Did you just take a portrait of me? I was not ready, but I must see."
no subject
but fate is like nope
you can only be faithful to one player
Dave rolled his eyes. Well, not that John could see him roll his eyes, but whatever.
of course
how dare i question your great land of prospit
what blasphemy for me to question such a thing
shame on me
i have let down my family name
well
yeah thats one way of saying it
totally just took a picture of you looking like you were trying to copy a tomato or something
naw
i got to develop the film first
so you might have to wait a few days before i get to that step
i should probably invest in a digital camera
no subject
...Dave could type really fast. Unfortunately, everything he types is stupid. And charming, in its own, stupid way.
"Prospit is still great even without electritonics, and wow, I am sure that is quite unflattering, you rascal. Get rid of it."
no subject
im not small
holy shit
its not my fault youre just stupidly tall
and old
Hey. He types totally normal things. His typing is not stupid, get out.
i guess
but people like me would be fucked without the sweetness that is texting
seriously
my writing looks like chicken scratch if i tried writing as fast as i typed
nope
it is sealed in film
forever
5ever even
youll never get rid of it now
no subject
It is so stupid.
"A fair point. Perhaps when I get back to Prospit, I shall teach my people ASL.
"I shall get back at you for this."
no subject
im 14
not 5
its not my fault youre old as shit
Wow, these two. They are the epitome of mature teenagers. Look at them making pot shots at each other.
Not stupid. Get out.
that would be nice
yea
cool
haha bring it on
wheres your pranksters gambit now
i totally am one upping you right now
but only signing now
ill teach you some words and single symbol phrases
no subject
"...I was unprepared! I came here to learn, not prank people. But all right, tutor Dave. Do educate me about words and phrases."
no subject
mr egbert at age 19
oh man hes a real adult now
He pretends to be mock terrified or whatever. He kind of fails completely.
Dave pauses as he thinks of what words might be worth teaching him. Dave made his hand much like a child would make bunny ears with their hand. He started from his shoulder, crossed his chest, and ended at just above his belt.
king
He went through a few other ones like mom, dad, school, and different signs for different kind of clothes.
no subject
Oh, Dave seriously just taught him the word for king. He mirrors it, though not without his face is heating up again. He learns the other ones with ease, though for every three words, he picks up a notebook and draws what he learns there.
no subject
Dave does them a second time.
repeat them back to me
doesnt matter the order but you have to tell me which sign you just did so you arent mixing them up
