Who: Kurloz and Sufferer
When: After this.
Where: Plaza
Style: brackets!
Status: Closed.

[As soon as Sufferer waves, Kurloz breaks off from his staring. Whatever uneasiness Sufferer felt under Kurloz's stare, there's certainly no sign of it any more, he looks pleasant and pleased to see the other troll, and even comes to meet him halfway across the distance.

He nods a response to the thanks, then glances around the Plaza. Since Sufferer invited him here for tea, he assumes they'll be going somewhere for it, but, obviously, he isn't too familiar with what the restaurants around here provide! Sufferer will have to lead, here.]

[Sufferer has no problem letting Kurloz take his hands, and tries again to make the sign, moving slowly and trying to be very precise.]

Is that better?
onlyasign: (brood)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-17 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? Oh!

[Sufferer takes his hands back, and peels one glove down. The leather gloves go halfway up his forearms; they need to, to cover the scars that run up from his wrists. Starting at where his wristbones should be, his hands are made of metal, grafted onto the ends of his arms. He pulls the glove down far enough for Kurloz to see that, then rolls it back up.]

My real ones... they weren't any good. After how I died. So Darkleer made me a new pair.
onlyasign: (joy)

[Sufferer looks blankly at Kurloz for a moment before what he's trying to communicate sinks in.]

Oh, yes, I can still move them fine. I can play the guitar with them and everything.
onlyasign: (squee)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-21 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer smiles back and mimics the gesture.]

I already know what this one means!
onlyasign: (calm down)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-22 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Very carefully, Sufferer tries the gesture again, after watching Kurloz closely.]

Time.
onlyasign: (hug everything)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-24 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Excellent!

[Sufferer likes learning new things, and he repeats the gesture several more times until he's sure he'll remember it. He even gets out his SFC and carefully records himself making the sign and saying "time" in case he forgets.]

Can you show me another one?
onlyasign: (blank)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-26 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Me? Are you going to do the sign for "me"? Or something else?

[Either way, he's ready!]
onlyasign: (all the unsure)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-29 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Now he's confused! He tries the sign anyway.]

I'm sorry, I don't know what I just said.
onlyasign: (remember)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-06-29 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer falls for it, hook, line, and sinker.]

Oh no! I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to say anything bad!
onlyasign: (rude!)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-01 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Waaaaait a minute... it's slowly dawning on Sufferer that he's been had.]

I didn't say anything bad, did I?
onlyasign: (bemused)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-03 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take long for Sufferer to see the humor in the situation, and he laughs.]

You, sir, are a rascal.

What did I really say?
onlyasign: (chains)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-04 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Me.

[Sufferer repeats it, practicing the gesture a few more times until he thinks he has it, then shows Kurloz his progress.]

Like this?
onlyasign: (eyes like burning)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-05 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer practices it a few more times until he feels he's gotten it right, recording the motions with his SFC again.]

Okay, I think I've got it. What next?
onlyasign: (curious)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-06 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer practices the new gesture a few times, then looks up, his expression mischievous. He makes the sign for "me" and touches his own chest, then makes the new sign and points at Kurloz.]

You?
onlyasign: (bro fist with Summoner)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-10 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Got it!

[He only feels a little silly for the misunderstanding.]

How do you say friend?
onlyasign: (blank)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-12 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sufferer repeats the sign for friend, but looks confused at the next gesture.]

What does that one mean?
onlyasign: (so much love)

[personal profile] onlyasign 2013-07-17 08:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they mean the same thing? Two ways of saying friend?

[Sufferer can get behind that notion. There are different kinds of friends, there should be different words that mean almost the same thing.]
