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

Gale like *oh god you're so adorable* because they're certain he doesn't know sign language so of course that's the easiest way to get away with saying he's cute because he'll never know for sure what they said

 

he is confused and still pouting

 

Gale grins at him
they have successfully gotten away with calling him adorable
they are pleased
this is the start of a beautiful friendship, they decide

 

yes good.
this is good
he starts learning sign language cause "not gonna let them get away with saying stuff I don't understand!!!"
and then it just keeps spiraling downhill because he's actually having fun learning

 

Gale is legitimately thrilled when they discover what he's been up to, even if they are disappointed they can't get away with saying he's adorable anymore
they finally have someone to talk to when they're nonverbal
they start teaching him how to sign profanities, because obviously that is of the Utmost Importance
(Gale is a bad influence in some ways)

 

Actually, literally the only thing I know how to say in ASL is "fuck you thirsty whore"
My classmate who knows sign has awful amazing priorities.

 

that's fantastic
I think the only thing I can say in ASL is "fuck" and "I need to go" which is
I mean
it suits my personality?

 

I love it.
the first things you should always learn in a new language is how to swear.

 

exactly!!

 

also, can I give Gale STPD?

 

I guess you can RP Commander Shepard in ASL?

 

.....who

 

Protagonist of Mass Effect. Every single conversation with NPCs ends with "I should go." :::PPP

 

oh
well in that case
yes
yes I can
the conversations will just be very, very short

 

In sign language, I know jesus, balls, and cunnilingus

....the important things, clearly

 

serious nod
the most important things

 

Oh I also know friends.
And snow. And water.

Not so racy

 

I know cold, drink, ambulance, medicine, help, bathroom, sleep, hurt, food, and how to ask someone's name. I learned it for my nonverbal periods, but it's great first responder info too, lol.
