I was wondering...if anyone would like to play a game! After everything that's happened I thought maybe something fun would be good to take people's minds off of things.

It's called word association and you basically start off saying a word and then the other person has to think of another word they associate with it! It's really fun, and I think everyone could learn a bit more about each other playing it. Feel free to play with each other too. I. I just want everyone to enjoy themselves. So I'll start with the word: white! Now you have to think of a word that you associate with it.

But! That's not what I...really wanted to talk about. I. I also wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in learning sign language. I know we can all understand each other inherently here, which is amazing, isn't it? People can understand speech and writing but I'm not sure I've met many people who know sign language off the bat. I...think that learning a new language might be fun for some people, right?

[ Maaaybe?! He's so bad at this. Maybe this wasn't a good idea?! He doesn't even know. He's awkward so please don't rag on him too bad!! He's so not good with addressing entire networks of people and offering to teach people stuff. ]

Anyway. If you have any questions, or would even like to offer up your own language to teach or learn...please don't hesitate to speak with me! It could be like an exchange of sorts! And we could have weekly meetings, it might be fun! [ Or not. ] Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate it!! And please have fun playing this game with one another!

[ Shigeru?! He forgot to mention to keep it PG-13, whoops. Please don't be too naughty. Think of the children!!

Ooc: assume this is after the Port Sylvel disaster! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Shigeru doesn't need doctors either but his...reason for going is different than most. Angela was helping him with his phobia and he often went there to think and just...chill out. ]

I'm really glad! I'm excited too! If you know anyone else who would like to join and learn, you can bring them along as well, okay? [ But hold the phone... ]

Half demon?

[It's a good place for that. Rin just doesn't know about it.

Maybe Kohaku would be into sign language too, though.]

what, you think I look like that all the time for shits and giggles?

[He certainly doesn't own a Dusklight Bracelet, and when Cordis isn't in effect his tail looks very different than any prismal walking around.]

yeah my mom was human
i was also raised human until the seal broke on my powers when i was 15

[ Well maybe he did?! ]

I!! I don't know!! I mean with this place there's no telling how it'll affect our appearances! I...I have bio-luminescent markings now that never go away!!

So it's hard to really tell...if it's because of this place or just how someone looks naturally. [ And Shigeru's never ran into him during Cordis so he wouldn't know!! ]

Seal on your...powers?

hehhe calm down youre fine im just giving you shit
i dont actually expect anyone to know the difference between me and a prismal right away

but yeah ive got control over fire, and some other abilities, but a lotta of it was sealed when i was a baby because there was no way for me to have a handle on it that young

[Among other reasons, but lets not upset the poor guy with talk of execution attempts on newborns and all that jazz.]

[ Rin!!! Respect your elders!! ]

Wow! That's really amazing, Rin. Does everyone back home have powers like that?

[ Yeah please don't mention that. Shigeru will be so upset and worried?! ]

I see. My powers didn't manifest until I was around 10 or so. But...when they did my parents made sure to bring me to a special school to get a handle on them. If a phrobiests powers go out of control...it can be really bad, so I understand the need to seal away powers like that.

no not really
half and part demons are pretty common but no one else has powers like mine

the only special training i got was my sword teacher giving me extra attention on how to get a better control of my flames

even then her demon blood is from really far back so she was kind of winging it herself

whats a

that word you said

I see, that's pretty amazing though.

My powers are rare too, there's only a few families that have mysophobic based powers.

Oh! A phrobiest? That's what people like are called back home. We have powers based on...phobias.

so whats uh

[He's going to try to type that word this time-]

mys ophic?

[... points for an attempt?]

[ Ah. Of course Rin would ask about it. It's kinda awkward talking about a life debilitating phobia with a teenager but... ]

It's also known as...germophobia.

I. I have a fear of germs and things that aren't exactly clean so public spaces and things like that make me uncomfortable.

oooooooh

that explains why you like workin in a kitchen then! theyre supposed to be super clean so no one gets sick

[That is a simplification of it, but he's not wrong.]

[ Ah, well, he's not wrong?! But Shigeru just also loves to cook! ]

Yes! And, well, I really like cooking too. But I do enjoy the fact that it's...very well kept and clean back there.

[ Also Rin will come to realize that after his shift Shigeru stays behind extra long just to deep clean everything?! He's sorry, his OCD commands it. ]

im not the most organized person ever when it comes to my living areas but in the kitchen i know how important it is to keep things sorted and clean

[Shigs might start noticing a little extra pay in his weekly deposits after a while, too. It's a good thing!]

Your kitchen is very organized and clean! I'm sorry if I go a little overboard when cleaning though!!

[ He can't help it! ]

But I'm happy to help and to cook at your restaurant. I've learned to cook a lot of new things I've never heard of before.

youre fine youre fine i appreciate all the hard work you put in!

And I appreciate you being so open and welcoming towards me!

It might not seem like a lot but I...I do appreciate it. So thank you! I'll be sure to let you know when the first meeting will be, and maybe if we have time we can do some private lessons if you wanted.

i never saw any reason to not give you a chance and you've already gone uh
whats the phrase

above and behind--

no, beyond.

yeah above and beyond

im looking forward to learning though! wow thats not something i ever thought i'd say
