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.

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?
no subject
uh... well, there are back home?
i don't know if there are any here. there might be, though!
no subject
[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.
no subject
bluh.
well, i could teach you a little bit, if you want?
but i'm cool with lip-reading if you don't.
no subject
Rude, Eg8ert!
Anyway, I'll think a8out it if I'm not too 8usy.
no subject
weeeeeeeell, it IS kind of complicated.
the grammar rules are actually a lot different from english.
and training your brain to recognize a completely different kind of communication as language can be hard, i hear.
no subject
Nothing is too complica8ed for me to learn. ::::/
no subject
;)
no subject
May8e I don't have time or care enough to want to learn.
no subject
if you want to learn it that's great, if you don't that's ok.
you're my friend either way.
no subject
Whatever.
May8e I will, may8e I won't. 8ut I'm a pretty 8usy girl so I pro8a8ly won't have time.
no subject
school?
no subject
no subject
i almost forgot about all your irons and everything.
no subject
I almost don't even have time to w8ste on you.
So you 8etter 8e gr8ful that I'm taking time out of my 8usy day for you.
no subject
my gratefulness exceeds description.
lol.
no subject
You're really 8ad at sarcasm.
no subject
oh well, that's what you and dave are for, right?
no subject
Where would you even 8e without my guidance?
no subject
and that is NOT sarcasm, thank you very much.
no subject
I'm pretty much the 8est troll you could have hoped for in your Session.
no subject
yaaaaaaaay!
i mean, you made me fall asleep and then i was on the train, so i wasn't sure it worked.
man, i couldn't have come here from an hour later?
oh well.
i definitely got the best troll to help me.
no subject
It takes her a few minutes to respond.]
Yep. Suuuuuuuure did!
Were you dou8ting me when I said it would?
no subject
no, but i didn't get a chance to actually, you know, experience it!
it's nice to know it'll work out.
or, well, should work out if we ever get home.
no subject
Of course you'll 8e returned.
You've got a long way to go if you want to catch up to me on the timeline.
Or to catch up on your timeline. Whatever, it'll pro8a8ly 8e the same anyway.
