College of Archaic Studies (OOC thread, American HP RP)

So you mean basically Benn's sense of humor.

 

yes, exactly.

 

This rp will be so fun.

 

yessssssssssss
can Benn and Gale become friends, also
I have a Need

 

Yes.
He is a very awkward friend but he will remind people to food.
And then remember he hasn't eaten in twelve hours. Whoops.

 

Gale glares at him when he reminds them to food and then starts signing to him about whether or not he's eaten, only to pause mid-sign and realize he doesn't know what they're signing
whips out a piece of paper, starts scribbling "did YOU eat?", shoves the paper at him
(Gale is nonverbal because anxiety whenever strangers are around, so unless Benn and Gale or Olivia and Gale or Olivia, Benn, and Gale are alone, then Gale's going to be writing a lot. :P the only way to get them to talk is to ask about their current special interest.)
....Gale teaches Benn sign language

 

Benn awkwardly admits to not fooding.

And yes. Yes that would be great.

 

Gale gives him A Look until he gets food
between the two of them they will survive, somehow

YAY
Gale is the unofficial sign language teacher for their friends

 

"With our powers combined, we are half a competent person!"

 

Gale grins and nods, then writes 'Also, have you had water?'
...hmmm. is it all right if for when they sign something, *I put it in stars like this?*, when they write 'I'll do it like this', and then when they actually speak I'll put it in quotes?
so, for instance:
Gale signed *Is Olivia coming?*
Gale scribbled and then shoved the paper at Benn. It read 'Did you have water?'
and then when they actually talk, well, we all know what quotes look like.

 

"There are water fountains, so yes!"

That makes sense, yeah. I'll follow the same logic if I have Benn try to sign.

 

Name: Zee Charlson

Age: 17

Grade: fourth year (11th grade)

Gender: female

Height: 6'2''

Hair: light brown, wavy, to her shoulders. occasionally but not often dyed different colors.

Eyes: hazel.

Skin: pale, freckled.

Magic Channel: at the moment, a wand (cherry with kelpie mane)

Affinities: anything requiring memorization. she isn't too good at thinking on her feet, so DADA is her weakest subject.

Personality: she knows things. rumors find their way to her. this is exactly how she likes it. she has amassed a wealth of secrets and will tell them only if absolutely necessary or if there's something in it for her, and she never tells a close friend's secrets unless it's a life or death situation. she's lanky and isn't good at sports but she has a lot of enthusiasm. she isn't really good at a lot of things, but she networks like crazy. if you need anything, you go to her and she'll find someone who can provide it. she is overly excitable and will go along with anything that seems fun or useful. her favorite color is lilac.

 

Benn upon meeting Zee, probably: whoa, she tol

 

Gale: 'good.'

all right, cool.

....also, when Gale meets Zee they're just going to stare at Zee for a bit, and then start silently cursing every god they know for making them so incredibly short

 

her name is Zee, not Zoe

 

oops, fixed it

 

to be fair, she probably gets that a lot. "hey, are you Zo-" "no."

she's too tall for her own good, really

 

my freshman is gonna be smol
like, maybe 5'0
he is Certain he will grow

 

Gale signs at her furiously the first time they meet and it's just *HOW ARE YOU SO TALL THIS IS UNFAIR*

awwwwww cutie smol
Gale will never grow. they are stuck.

 

"I'm just short now! I'll grow! and I'm not cute"
he then proceeds to pout, and be adorable in doing so
