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.

[ Y SO KYOOT BOIZ. Y. ]

<<'I will try valiantly!'>>

[ Yes. Focus on... Dave, and pillow forts, and Dave's roommate, and goofing off more, and not on the fact that he's kind of freaking out a little. He was pretty chill at first, but along with the revelation that his dad's dead, it's also starting to sink in that their planet is gone. Destroyed. Meteor city. Everyone he knew back there is gone, except for Dave and Jade.

But he will ignore it, and he will not freak out, and he'll be fine. He'll be strong, and he'll be brave, because he knows that's what his dad would want him to be. ]

<<'So, by the way, getting kind of hungry. Is there someplace I'm allowed to eat?'>>

[knightime]

[Dave motioned in the direction of where the cafeteria should be. It probably actually didn't help the other at all, so he starts signing again.]

<<'Cafeteria dude.'>>

[He pauses for what feels like an eternity (to him).]

<<'You sure'>> [He has to pause again.] <<'You sure you're okay?'>>

[wakingsavior]

<<'Oh, right. Wasn't sure, you know this whole thing with weapons and players is really fucked up.'>>

[ He stops, and looks down at his feet for a moment. That's a... really good question that John's not sure he knows the answer to. He sighs, shrugs. ]

<<'I kind of have to be, don't I? Yeah, I'm okay.'>>

[ As okay as he can be, anyway, given the circumstances. ]

[knightime]

<<'Everyone can eat there, but Discards don't get as many privileges. But that isn't a problem with you, since I'll curb stomp anyone who starts shit with you.'>>

[He fidgets a bit.]

<<'You don't have to be okay all the time.'>>

[wakingsavior]

[ John sighs faintly, and shrugs. ]

<<'Yeah I do. Right now, anyway, because if I'm not, how the fuck do I deal with all of this crazy battling stuff?'>>

[ He can be not-okay when Exaclan and Sburb are over! Yeah. That's gonna work! ]

[knightime]

<<'Weapons kind of just chill and watch and kind of get hurt because if their weapon forms take damage, so do them. But Players do most of the work, so you're good.'>>

[Which just means Dave is going to be a very busy kid this week.]

<<'Let's get you some food though. We'll pig out until we puke'>>

[wakingsavior]

[ John can deal with that. It's not like actually getting shot or anything. >:| ]

<<'Is the food any good, or is it totally shitty cafeteria food? Is there pizza? I've got such a craving for pizza...'>>

[ Subject: SUCCESSFULLY PUT TO REST FOR NOW! woo! ]

[knightime]

[Hey! Dave doesn't remember being shot a bunch of times at the moment. That's going to be awkward later...]

<<'Food here's actually good. It's totally worth eating. But then again, I'm used to fast food and shit for food, so maybe I'm not the best person to ask about this.'>> [He's being awfully vague about his home life as usual.]

<<'Come on. We can pig out on the desserts.'>>

[wakingsavior]

<<'Good desserts? Please say pudding!'>>

[ The idea of dessert makes John bounce a little, and then opens the door and waves for Dave to follow. Yup, he's totally fine, Dave, see? ]

[knightime]

[He follows John. He still suspects that the other is going to need some future bro hugs, but those could wait.

If the other was going to try and be happy...]

<<'Anything you want, they probably got it.'>> [Messes up your already messy hair.]

Oh, you're from Earth! It exists back home too, but not many people live there anymore. But yeah, you guys are everywhere, all across space.

[savedbyasong]

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

[wakingsavior]

[ John sticks his tongue out and tries to smooth his hair down. ...it doesn't really do anything ]

<<'What about... snickerdoodles?'>>

[ Yes, he is going to ask if they have very specific things as they walk. Shhhhh... ]

that is so cool.
i'm seriously jealous right now.
even if you're stuck here, you've still BEEN to space!

[wakingsavior]

i hope it's the same if i got to be badass.

exactly how badass do i get to be?

[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!

Re: text;

[herplaceinthesun]

Hmmm . . . well, you could go someday, who knows? Don't give up on it just cause you're just on Earth right now!

I wonder if this place sells telescopes . . .

[fabricates]

[........HER FACE WHEN TBH]

Noooooooot yet! You have to surpass me 8efore you can see me. Which is going to 8e pretty hard for a human like you.
8ut may8e we'll meet sometime, even if you don't get 8e as 8adass as me........ In your dreams! :::;)


8ut I guess you weren't so 8ad last time I checked.

[knightime]

<<'How about you stop asking and wait till we get there? I'm pretty sure they can tell you what they don't have.'>>

[Seriously. Dave only knows so much. He's only been here a week.]

[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.

[wakingsavior]

yeah, you're pretty much fucking awesome.
i doooooooon't think you're more awesome than dave, though.
it's a tie!
you probably could've beat him back in the game, though, since you're god teir and everything.

[wakingsavior]

you know what, that's good advice!
i mean, weirder things have happened to me in the past few days.
including coming here.

oooooooo, that would be cool, having a telescope.
look at the stars and everything.

[wakingsavior]

<<'Sorry.'>>

[Sheepish John is sheepish. He's just a little over-enthusiastic, is all...]

[knightime]

[He grabs John's hand and continues walking. Maybe he speeds up a bit, but he's holding your hand a little tightly and his ears are a little red, but it's obviously that Dave doesn't mind John's enthusiasm.]
