video; JOINT POST with nosetweaks~
[Chuck opens his video with a little awkwardchans wave.] Hey, everybody.
So. [The most displeased face] I kind of have to wonder how the Mothers Against Newcomers actually even sleep at night. Do they really think they're doing something good by keeping innocent kids out of school? [He looks even more disgusted here, like he's resisting the urge to spit the words out but is managing a smooth sarcasm.] I mean, even if they are determined to just be full of nothing but hate - they've heard of the concept of delinquency, haven't they? Oh yeah, sure, let's just keep all the scared, super-powered kids with no role models or parents and pretty decent reason to feel disenfranchised on the streets with nothing to do. Maybe if we tell them over and over how worthless and hated they are, they'll be even unhappier. That'll be great. Seriously, why can't they try-
[Wait, woah, hold up. What kind of craaazy serious post is this anyway? Obviously there needs to be a bundle of red jersey and thick hair colliding gently against Chuck's side, suddenly. He doesn't seem to think so, judging by the way he starts in surprise with a small, undignified eep. After settling in, a woman looks up, and gives a wave of her own that's far less awkwardchans and way more enthustiastic.
Then earnestly, she's looking up at Chuck, and pulls her hands back to start moving them very rapidly - for anyone who might be able to catch it and know what's going on, that's American Sign Language. She seems very fervent, very excited.]
Uh. [He is confusion-chan, staring a little warily at her frenzied hands and the incredibly simple excitement on her face.] You- what? Elisha- [MOAR SIGNING and Chuck blinking a few times.] You saw a... ooooookay? [Turning back to the camera, occasionally sideways glancing at Elisha.] Today, she saw a dragonfly land on a baby.
[It was SO EXCITING. She makes this known with both her hands and her expression, and looks positively lovestruck by the whole thing. Also, she saw someone feeding birds and it was the loveliest thing, says her signing. And, and-
Chuck relates everything she signs for the NV's benefit in slightly nonplussed, stumblingly derpy tones. Her hands settle down so she can bring them up to pat both of Chuck's cheeks twice - I know, I know - and turns to more properly face the 'audience,' shifting in her seat to get positively comfortable and folding her hands in her lap.]
"I know, I-" hey, don't look at me in that tone of voice! [In response, she boops his nose like a button and even biting his lip, he can't hide the grin creeping up.] Anyway, uh- sorry about that, guys. Well actually, I'm not. This is Elisha. [Pronounced like "Aleesha" by him, for the record. The woman in question nods quickly at his introduction and starts to sign something starting with "we" before Chuck reaches out and turns the feed off.]
{{ooc: Replies from paterelohim and nosetweaks. Elisha/God's replies might come in text form regardless of how you tag, just as a heads up. Her voice has this habit of exploding heads. :( }}
