sign up today to learn signed language from a bird man

[succiduous]

 Hello people who have sticks, bones, and other miscellaneous items found on the ground!

Because we have a handful of new players/people who haven't been here As Long As I Have, I wanted to make a note somewhere where it was more easily-seen and wouldn't get lost in the sauce: Gnosis has spent the last few months teaching people sign language so that they can more effectively communicate with Toge, who has cursed speech. I think only old players who are out of the game now knew about this wheezes so I wanted to put this in writing. 

All of this is handwaved so if you want your character to have, at some point(s), learnt nondescript Terran sign language, feel free to just be like "yes yep mmhmm this happened". I mean I'm willing to thread it with y'all if you really wanted to that's what bird's IC Inbox is for but y'know--

On that same vein, he has also spent time learning other people's languages if they'd like to share them (mostly Elven) (pretty much entirely Elven), so I would be extra happy to give bird more languages to learn, something something parrot joke goes here (he's a crane not a parrot but still). Just lmk if anyone would teach him stuff™. No need to lmk if you want to learn sign, unless you really want to, idk, it's handwaved.

thanks for coming to my ted talk, remember to be nice to Toge or Gnosis will fucking kill you ok bye—!

look if you want to learn iberian/lanteran/aegirian/higashianese/eldritch gargles from Mizuki, he's willing to teach.

otherwise, he's happy to learn sign!!!!!

[succiduous]

Yes all of the above, I'm psure I wrote somewhere that he knows a bit of Iberian and Lateran but not the other ones, please teach him he needs to go back to SilverAsh and be like i learned 13 languages for business deals you're welcome

Imagining Gnosis eldritch gargling and Mizuki's like no, you need to put more gargling in there you're saying "marijuana" instead of "horse" and Gnosis is like, what do you mean you have an eldritch word for MARIJUANA

[mooninthewater]

Why are you denying the abominations weed, Gnosis?

[succiduous]

Never in his life would he deny anybody weed he needs to smoke some himself but like,,, also,,, why are the abominations having weed

[sesa]

Considering Sesa promised Toge pmuch the first time they spoke that he’d learn so they could more easily communicate, he would def like to learn pls teach him Gnosis

[succiduous]

He will trade you for Sargonian (he will be nice and teach you sign out of kindness but also)

[sesa]

HE WILL TEACH YOU SARGONIAN speak dragon to him sir

[succiduous]

The language of reptiles, Passenger, and the actual Arabic people irl—

[oleaeuropaea]

Slides Vash in here and wiggles my way out.

He'd want to know how to communicate with everyone lbr.

[succiduous]

grabs him by his collar, no wiggling out, sign language lessons begin NOW

loving how the CR so far is "teaching each other to do things" it's a beautiful friendship

[cursedwords]

Sure, Toge can teach you Japanese but it's limited to ten words and they're all related to rice balls. Who's in? XD

For real though - he can offer gymnastics/combat training just fine. No weapons though, it's not his area.

Kaneki would like to learn sign language

And he can also teach Japanese! He is really good at teaching as well since Kaneki was a student of Japanese Literature back home.

CUTE excellent... we're starting a language learning club lads, soon this whole game will be polyglots

[anthropophagite]

yesss good! Kaneki will be so happy with that tbh ahaha he is a huge nerd

[neckromancy]

gnosis would you like to learn orcish for literally no reason at all

[succiduous]

what a fascinating question, yes he would, it's a language innit

[neckromancy]

wonderful, Astarion will teach him in return bc it'll be fun

Alternatively he can also learn *checks notes* Abyssal and Thieves' Cant, bc Astarion knows fucking five languages for some ungodly reason
