[kaonashi]

Who: No-Face and anyone who happens to pass
Where: The Plaza
When: January 23rd, later in the evening
Style: Any
Status: Open

There appears to be a phantasmal black blob laying motionless, off near the center of this strange and foreign plaza. Next to this heap rests a basket that appears to contain a bundle of wool fiber, two knitting needles, and a small group of vegetables.

As quickly as it appears though, the dark mass solidifies and takes it's regular looming form; a white mask drifting up from the center and appearing where a face would normally be located. The quiet figure you're left with is just a bit unsettling. Those blank eyes seem to stare straight off into the distance for a moment, before the ghostly being extends an arm down to pick up the basket. Oddly enough, he seems to clutch his container against him with both arms rather protectively.

"...Ah...?"

Comments

[kaonashi]

This one has a point, there. It certainly is impressive, if not just a little bit frightening. There's a part of him that does feel safe... Perhaps the lord of this land, or the owner of this place isn't as cruel and awful as Yubaba.

There's a short whisper of relief at this realization.

[withoutasign]

Signless notices how the creature seems to perk up a bit when he says that, and he smiles, well pleased.

"Do you have a name, little one? My name is Signless."

[kaonashi]

How interesting! One without a face and another without a sign. No-Face nods in answer to the question, but unfortunately has no way of expressing the rest of that answer.

"...Ah...Ah." He seems to wish to tell him, and is quickly thinking of how he could do this. The spirit turns his attention from Signless and towards his basket, seeming to shuffle through it for a certain starfishy piece of technology he's glimpsed.

[withoutasign]

Fortunately, one of Signless' best and oldest friends has the same problem with communicating verbally, so Signless just waits patiently while the little creature looks through his basket. He's in no hurry.

[kaonashi]

Eventually, No-Face pulls out his communicator! Seeming quite accomplished, the spirit holds his SFC out in front of him for awhile before realizing it won't automatically bring up the list of names he saw before.

This is where the challenge begins. Like a two year old on the piano, No-Face is jamming out on these keys. Slowly, No-Face gets closer and closer to the resident list until he finally finds the "N" section! Now it's a matter of scrolling, scrolling, scrolling until he points towards the screen, turning the communicator towards Signless.

[No-Face]

[withoutasign]

"No-Face? That's your name?"

Seems like it. Signless gets out his own SFC and holds it up where No-Face can see it.

"Do you need someone to show you how to work this? I can walk you through some of the basics."

[kaonashi]

A bob of the head to the name, and a slight nod to the help. No-Face can solve the mystery of the lettered keys easily enough, but the rest of the device is completely foreign to the spirit. Still, he's full of appreciation towards whoever mysteriously dropped his off in his basket!

[withoutasign]

Signless nods in return, then holds his own SFC out where No-Face can see it. Moving slowly and explaining exactly what he's doing as he does it, he starts going over some of the basic functions of the device. He's no tech wizard himself, but he can at least explain sending texts and videos (he skips voice calls), the map feature, and a few of the SFC's other bells and whistles.
