hi, everyone!
my name's john egbert, i'm new which is why most of you don't know me, heh.
i know it's probably silly because dave would've found someone, but is there anyone here who knows american sign language?
it's just that i'm deaf, so it's the easiest way for me to communicate, and so far dave's the only person who knows how to do it.
if not, that's cool, and thanks for your time.

You're Dave's f- ooooooooh

[Switching to text because she is a genius of epic proportions heh.]

I don't! But I have lots of free time, so if you'd teach me I'd like to learn. I get the feeling I should know how anyway . . .

[wakingsavior]

[ on the upside, john will never know? ]

well, i don't know how good a teacher i'd be, but i would totally try to teach you some!
it'd be fun to be able to sign with more people.
:)

[herplaceinthesun]

[There is that, but it seems mean to be happy about so she'll refrain.]

I don't mind! You're probably not any worse than most of the teachers here anyway. Plus, knowing a secret language could totally come in handy one of these days~]

[wakingsavior]

it totally could!
plus when you're talking with your hands and the people around you don't know asl, they get kind of weirded out sometimes and it's pretty funny to watch.

[herplaceinthesun]

Sounds like fun! Goodness knows we could use some of that around here, what with all the silly rules. SO MANY RULES, I hate it!

Classes aren't too bad though.

text; I'm sorry John

[allurprincess]

[wakingsavior]

[allurprincess]

[wakingsavior]

i guess i'll see a lot of you then.
he's my player and i'll probably be hanging out in his room sometimes.

yes good new friends

[allurprincess]

yay !
so i should defs learn your language then we can all talk together??

[knightime]

this is a stupid endeavor
i dont think
most of this school even came from america
much less earth
just so you know
and text is pretty bitchin

[Dave is glad he types at the same speed people can talk. He's got this man.]

its not like we can suddenly start some shitty asl club

[wakingsavior]

well, yeah.
but it can't hurt to ask, right?

[ John isn't very fast at typing on a PDA. He really wishes more people could sign, even a little ]

well... why not?
i mean, i know it's not really cool.
and you don't have to do it or anything, but it could be fun!

[knightime]

i tried
no one seems to have a grasp of this language
shit
wow
i just gave you an idea
this was a brilliant thing to say
text
mouth
i dont know
i guess i just dont like to sign much???

[wakingsavior]

really?
maybe it's different if you can hear other people talking.
or maybe it's just you being too cool for this shit, hehe.
plus i can't type as fast as you.

[knightime]

[Spoiler: Dave is not all that comfortable with people. But he isn't telling you that. Signing got too personal and he wasn't exactly Mr. Friendleader. But he'll pretend it's just because he's cool.]

my interpretive dance skills
are only for the eyes of those that deserve it
cant be flailing my shit to just everyone
gives people ideas
youll get faster at it

[fabricates]

Sign language?
Eg8ert, what the hell are you going on a8out?

[wakingsavior]

sign language is how i talk, if i'm not writing!
there's a whole language of gestures for people who can't hear or speak.
it's pretty cool.

[fabricates]

Is that what you were doing yesterday? It looks ridiculous and dum8.
8ut........
I'll give you the 8enefit of the dou8t a8out this sign language thing. I'd 8e culturally insensitive if I didn't attempt to understand it.
Are there 8ooks on how to learn this language?

[wakingsavior]

yeah, that's it!
uh... well, there are back home?
i don't know if there are any here. there might be, though!

[fabricates]

Hmmmmmmmm.

[She is not going to come right out and say she wants him to teach her, because that's embarrassing. Also somehow a weakness and nope. Can't have that. Man if only she had access to this John's timeline to study it and learn it that way.]

There pro8a8ly aren't! It's pro8a8ly just an Earth thing.

[savedbyasong]

I don't, but I would be happy to learn. I am Dave's weapon this round.

[text]

[wakingsavior]

hey, me too!
mostly because dave and i go way back.
but yeah, i'd be glad to show you a few signs!

[text]

[savedbyasong]

You and Dave are from the same world? That would be nice of you!

[text]

[wakingsavior]

well, maybe! or possibly from different timelines in the same universe?
whatever, we know each other, so it's cool.
but yeah, just find me or drop me a line or something!
it'll be fun.

[text]

[savedbyasong]

I will! I am sure we will meet soon since we are both Dave's weapons!
