This log is: open

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.

I could be into intense pranking. You probably won't know until something DOES happen. I mean I never would have thought of buckets over your door. Do you fancy water or paint in them?

[Don't give her ideas you dummy.]

Oh of course not. Epitome and complete the center of "coolness".

[Oh shit, now he is actually thinking about it. Quick, change the topic!]

the level of swag would repel the book anyways

[Don't you dare actually test that.]

[overbiterestart]

Oh stop your silly overreacting, you've not even given me a splendid reason to prank you just yet! The world is not coming to an end you know. If it was then I don't think the sky would be so blue today.

[Oh Dave...]


You think so? I think we could probably get the book from the shop.
