Warnings: none atm!

I. Peppered Love

[ It's been a little while since Unnamed encountered the great and mighty Lord of the Goose, but since then he's been making the odd trip to Asura's garden to poke around and say hi while giving Lord Swan A VERY HEALTHY BERTH. On this particular occasion he's been gifted a nice little bundle of devil peppers, which he takes with immense delight.

In his head, it works something like this:

Happy feelings = warmth and devil peppers = HOT AF, which = so much love.

So clearly the best way he can show his affection is by giving the people he cares about some aptly-named Devil Peppers.

If you're someone he's seen before, you can bet ur butt that he's going to call out and wave them down...right before he presents them with one of these bad boys ]

Ouuh, auh! Ih--ih!

[ Take it :D IT'S FOR YOU ]

II. Flashcard Signing

[ One thing that Unnamed has been working on since his arrival is how to communicate--because that's hard when you're both deaf and undead. He started first with pictures in the journals, then again with sign language. Experience, however, has armed with the knowledge that not everyone understands Sign, so he's decided that his next step has to be reading and writing all those weird scribbles everyone always fills up their books with.

It has not been easy. His dexterity and fine motor skills are lacking at best like ya do when you're not-quite-alive, but help has come to him in the form of The Best Mom Ever and his introduction to.....flashcards. Shigeru has helped him acquire a set marked with both sight words and signs to help him recognize what each word means, and he has been studying them furiously. He's even gone and dreamotion'd a couple of his own into existence with Shigeru's help, so on this fine day Unnamed can be found:

a) pouring over his flashcards as he spreads them out over ground and table alike;

or

b) rushing up to your character with a flashcard with the word 'HELLO' written on it and holding it out with The Most Enthusiasm Ever. ]

Auh!

[ He looks so proud okay, you don't even know ]

[ ooc; just a small reminder that Unnamed here is both undead and deaf but he is doing his best!! and he's got swanky new flashcards to prove it. So if your character is interested in a mini-sign language lesson, this is a good place for it :D ]

[Aether can be found around, as always looking for people to help out or maybe visiting friends. And one such friend is now heading his way. The traveler smiles and waves, then blinks seeing that the zomboi is holding something.

As Aether has been learning how to sign, he asks the boy what is he holding and this is when he's presented with the pepper. He understands the gesture (or at least he thinks he does) but smelling the pepper and giving it a critical look makes him wonder how spicy it is.

...Still, he signs a "thank you", even if his smile is a little uncertain.]

[Thancred can often be found hanging around the plaza in Reverein, people watching and just generally keeping an eye on things as much as he could. Old habits die hard, especially in other worlds.

Not that he had any experience with that... really.

He's leaning against a wall when Unnamed runs over with his flashcard.]

Hello.

[Both spoken and signed, following the example on the flash card.]

[As Link has been finding, Princess Zelda makes many social calls. It's strange to him, in a sense, but also heartening. Neither of them were exactly friendship magnets, during the time of the Calamity, so...it's good to see her with so many friends.

Anyway, that's why Link is standing quietly near part of the residential district: where she is, he won't be far behind, though they both take great care to ensure that neither of them feels smothered in any way. And that's where Unnamed will find him. He starts a little when called out to, but manages to wave back as he gets closer. Uh...hi?

The, uh. The pepper is a surprise, though.

He takes it, curiously, then points at himself. Is this...for him?]

[The unnamed zombie isn't the only one slowly learning sign. Shigeru had brought the idea to Toge, and had taught him a couple of things as well. What's more, the old Soldier: 76 had also known a few signs, and had been helping him practice a little bit as well. He's not exactly fluent and only really knows a few basic signs (as well as how to finger-spell his name), but he's learning, slowly.]

[He's minding his own business and going about his day when he sees the familiar zombie looking over...drawings? Drawings with familiar gestures on them. Toge's eyes widen in surprise, before he remembers when the zombie had tried to sign at him before. It's then that he decides to offer the zombie a little surprise.]

[He approaches the zombie and, if he isn't noticed, will tap on his shoulder. Then, silently, he'll lift his hands to sign one of the few signs he knows.]

['Hello.']

[mwehehe]

[Ah, her friend! He seems VERY enthusiastic with his flashcards and while it may catch her offguard for a moment because she's not expecting him to come barreling up to her, it's a nice thing to have happen! She's recognized!

Looking at the card though, she does, at the least, recognize it as Sign Language. So a quick glance at the card, Futaba will look back up and do her best Hello in Sign.]

I, uh, don't really know anything else, but I can see it on the card!

[And she'll point to it with a thumbs up following it.]

II. Flashcard Signing- B

[leveillpier]

[ Alisaie has a small bag of sweets and some kind of tea in her arms as she's wandering about the town, feeling much more comfortable with being able to move her limbs and not feel the weight of some armor on her body.

Unnamed came from the left field, almost startling her when she sees him rushing in her direction. The card in his hand with the word hello. There's a brow raise. She parts her mouth and speaks, not sure if he can read her lips. ]

Did you write that?

[ Following a small smile from her. ]

Flashcards with mom!!

[mysophobic]

[ Shigeru's very excited and happy to see Unnamed so enthused and happy to have his flashcards. The energy is certainly infectious as Shigeru gives the other a happy wave and signs 'How are you doing today? Is there anything you need help with understanding?' The signs themselves are easy enough to learn, but Shigeru also wants to make sure the other understands what they mean too.

'I'm glad you look so happy, that really makes me happy too!' He almost feels like a proud parent?! Seeing the other work so hard these last couple of months has been really uplifting for his own goals too. ]

II-A. If this isn't okay, lemme know! (post-Imbalance Event)

[recreator]

[The past few days have been troublesome to say the least. Hours of awkward solitude spent between fitful stretches of sleep when the ticking of his own mind finally drags him back under into exhausted slumber.]

[Emet-Selch has no interest in the upcoming festivities and no answers he can satisfactorily provide to those who witnessed the fracture and (rather ironic, all told) rejoining of his two errant halves that occurred within Madhuri's dreamscape. And so he wanders, looking for... something, or someone, or somewhere his presence is unlikely to lead to conflict or pity or long-winded explanations.]

[At some point, his feet lead him to a patch of ground scattered not with snow or detritus but what appear to be cards and a familiar undead boy studying them intently.]

[Emet-Selch has discovered (thanks to their game at the beach) it best to refrain from popping in and out, so instead he walks around the pile so that he can be viewed head-on and kneels slowly. His hair is wavy and white, but otherwise he looks much the same as always - including the all-too-familiar "grumpy" expression ever-present on his face.]

[He lifts a hand to sign.]

Learning a lot?

[And after a second of thought, he touches his own chest, gestures, and begins to spell E-M-E-T-S-E-L-C-H.]
