Good. Good, I'm glad. [ This one hurts him a little more than he thought it might. ] Hey, uh. Miss Pandora, I got locked out, tonight. I'm outside, and I'm probably not gonna make it to the morning, so I just - I wanted to check in with you.
Yeah, I've got blankets, but I don't know how much good it's gonna do. I'm sorry. [ He almost didn't call, but he didn't want to go without talking to her. ]
It's okay. I've got DS - Davesprite? I've got him with me, so I won't be alone.
[ He huffs out a noise that almost sounds like a laugh. ]
Yeah, okay. Probably too much of a risk, but still. [ He knows she tries to eat people, but even little zombie girls need hugs. ] If I don't come back, though - I'm gonna try, I promise - but if I don't, and you need help, I want you to call Alphonse, okay? Al. He's a good kid and he's made of metal so I think he'd be the best for helping.
[Slowly, she spells out five letters. She'd showed them to him once before, if he remembers - it's his name, C-L-I-N-T. But this time, she leaves a big enough gap between each letter for him to see them clearly, and imitate her if he wants.]
[ He pulls up his video - he's curled up with a very orange birdboy. He's still very much in pain, but he sucks it up and tries for her. He copies the letters slowly, as best he can. His hands can't exactly do a lot of finesse right now between the cold and the pain, but he tries.

Date: 2017-02-09 04:43 pm (UTC)[She deflates.]
Oh.
Do you have blankets? Maybe...
[But she's read the guides. She knows nobody survives outside at night, no matter how many blankets they have.]

Date: 2017-02-09 04:49 pm (UTC)[Like he'd told her.]
I don't want you to come see me. Let's just talk over the tablets, okay?

Date: 2017-02-09 05:01 pm (UTC)Okay.
[And he'd already helped her once. He'd put her in his guide.]
I haven't taught you my signs yet.
iddy what the fuck

How's that? Terrible?

Date: 2017-02-09 05:15 pm (UTC)[Not perfect, but enough to be understandable.]
Is that your friend? DS?
(no subject)
Date: 2017-02-09 05:17 pm (UTC)And yeah, that's him. He's also a good guy to talk to.

Date: 2017-02-09 07:23 pm (UTC)Yeah. Go ahead, I'm watching.
(no subject)
Date: 2017-02-10 03:08 pm (UTC)Most of the words I made signs for aren't important here.
[They're things like cell, chair, doctor, soldier, classroom.]
But maybe I can make up new ones.
