[wakingsavior]

Characters: John Egbert [AU], Dave Strider [AU], and YOU!
Format: Choose-Your-Own Adventure!
This log is: Open for business
Location: The park
Summary: ASL CLUB, FIRST MEETING!
Warnings: ...teenagers?

[ After classes on Wednesday, if one were to go to the park, one would find two teenaged boys waiting, both in Fortitude uniforms, one with dark hair and square glasses, one with blonde hair and aviator sunglasses.

They're waiting for anyone and everyone who wants to come to the first-ever meeting of the inter-school American Sign Language club! John's the only one of the two of them who looks excited, but that's just Dave being a coolkid, right?

Come one, come all! ]


(( OOC: Open to anybody, students or teachers - anyone who's heard about it or who happens to wander by! I have NO idea how we're going to do the lessony bits, I will convene with Kim when she's... conscious. XD ))

OH GOD OH SHIT.
SORRY DUDE I DIDN'T KNOW.
I'M A FUCKING DOUCHE THAT'S WHAT I AM.
WOW THIS IS FUCKING AWKWARD I CAN'T EVEN

[ Shows that to John, cheeks red from embarrassment. ]

[wakingsavior]

[ John, totally instinctively, reaches out and paps Karkat's shoulder ]

it's cool, you didn't know.
no harm no foul, right? I totally should've mentioned.
that's part of why i wanted to do the asl club, so i can talk to people easier.
and you don't have to text if you don't want to.
i can read lips!
most of the time, anyway.
you just have to make sure to be facing me when you talk, and don't talk too fast.

[ He smiles encouragingly at Karkat. See? It's all good, no need to freak out! ]

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

NO.
I WILL FUCKING TEXT YOU AND YOU WILL FUCKING LIKE IT.
AND THEN I AM GOING TO LEARN THIS SILLY LOOKING HAND LANGUAGE AND CONVERSE LIKE MOTHERFUCKERS OK???

[wakingsavior]

[ John may laugh just a tiny bit, silently ]

ok!!!
i'm cool with this plan.
just try not to whack anybody in the face while you're signing.
it's kind of a danger of getting too excited and shit when you're signing.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

IF I WHACK SOMEBODY ON THE FACE IT WOULD BE THEIR OWN GODDAMN FAULT FOR STANDING WAY TOO NEAR.

[wakingsavior]

haha ok that's a good point.
i've done it a couple times though.
always makes me feel like an idiot for flailing around so much.

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

YOU WOULD.
BECAUSE YOU'RE GODDAMN STUPID AND YOU FAIL AT EVERYTHING FOREVER.
MENTAL RETARDATION IS A SERIOUS ISSUE, EGBERT
LOOK IT UP
I'M SURE THERE ARE TREATMENTS OUT THERE FOR YOU

[wakingsavior]

[ John doesn't bother responding. He just rolls his eyes a little and blows a raspberry at Karkat.

Yup. Most mature. ]

[threshprinceoffuckyou]

[ rolls eyes. shoves. ]
