[baruthumos]

I can be in.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

sweet
i should be moooostly good on the understandin front
just need to work on the being able to do it myself

[baruthumos]

I'll teach you the best part. Talking about people in public when they can't understand you.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

u sure
cuz i keep meeting ppl who sign
seems almost like a trap

[baruthumos]

The trick is to turn around first. Can't understand what they don't see.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

but doesnt tha
no wait
yeah that makes sense
hands is the point
alright fair point
dunno what id say bout em i wouldnt say 2 their face tho

[baruthumos]

Well, the other day I asked Maine to take Delta into the living room and make him sit down for ten minutes. If D had heard me, he would have argued.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

so u turn ur back so he couldnt
also good on u
matchmaker tendencies right there
or gettin d to relax
both r good
im just kinda used 2 something diff
involves more than hands so threw me for a min

[baruthumos]

What are you used to, bug?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

whole body
grew up with mutes
whole lotta mutes
had their own language
all using gestures and movement and all that
why im fairly okay on the understanding
sign still follows the same sorta logic

[baruthumos]

Sign is a whole-body experience, unless you're fingerspelling.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

well yeah
at least more than human like 2 do normally
but still get most of the meaning from the hands
is how i understand it?

[baruthumos]

Exactly.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

yeah
hands are the things i need to fine tune
also need 2 know what signs r what words instead of figuring it out on the fly

[baruthumos]

I can certainly help you with that.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

awesome
gonna try to go a whole convo signing and still being understandable
n not repeating words 2 much
just get lotta words

[baruthumos]

Name a time and place. Except Sunday afternoon.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

whats happenin sunday?

[baruthumos]

We've had so much going on, I'm taking the littles to the park for some family bonding, without bleeding brothers or boyfriends. Hopefully before one of them has a full stress-induced meltdown.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

dear god
did something else happen
is this more than what shes doin
it sounded like things were goin better side from that
do we need to private convo this

[baruthumos]

Don't worry about it, blondie. We mostly need to let Delta have the house to himself for a while, he has a test to study for.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

eeeeeergh
ok
but like
be careful i guess
if this is a be careful sitch

[baruthumos]

It's just the playground, taking them grocery shopping. The worst that could happen is Epsilon doesn't get the memo and interrupts Delta.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

if u say so
i hope he does well on the test thingy

[soldierinblack]

I need more practice, trying to learn it myself.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

we could totes practice 2gether
mb get omom 2 help 4 the finer points

[soldierinblack]

Who's omom?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

omega

[soldierinblack]

Are you trying to call him a mom with that nickname or something you eat?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

pronounced more like nom nom
its his reward 4 bein all tricksy at me

[soldierinblack]

I'll keep that in mind for when he's being an ass.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

just as intended
;3

[soldierinblack]

When do you want to practice? I started lessons this week.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

anytime u got free time i think
my schedule is p fluid

[soldierinblack]

Mine changes. Let's try weekends, starting with the one after this one. I want a couple more lessons under my belt first.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

so like the 8th or 9th?

[soldierinblack]

If a job doesn't come up. Are you dragging omom into this?

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

he does have more exp in the proper usage than us
well me at least

[soldierinblack]

We'll drag him in and make sure we have our form right.

[thevoidsdarkhorse]

fyeah
sounds like a plan
