WEEK 4: WHAT UP GHOULFRIEND?

[fullthottle]

[Escha awakens in an unfamiliar place...but to a familiar face.]

Comments

[polyapathy]

Oh! Good, okay, we're... Oh my god.

[She rubs a hand over her face.]

Haymitch was right. Again. It's a TV show. I'm gonna fuckin'— Sorry, never mind.

[...But the bouncing. Hm. Katy's at a loss.]

Do you... need something?

[applechemist]

[ Escha doesn't seem to know what to make of the TV show comment, because she only learned about movies. Huh?? TV??? Sure if you say so???

Anyway her tail stands up at attention!

But she also realizes, belatedly, that she has no idea how to convey information. So she has to pause to think about it, holding up one finger in a 'hold on' gesture.

When she lowers her hands she tries to mime... Writing on her hand? And then... Talking, with that hand? ]

[polyapathy]

Okay...

[Thinking, thinking...]

Do you need me to pass on message?

[applechemist]

[ ... Escha hesitates before nodding, but kind of. Waves her hand in a so-so motion again.

She cups her hands before holding them out. Then draws her hands back to point at where she had been holding her hands a moment ago.

Then holds up both hands, five fingers up on one, two on the other, putting them together. ]

[polyapathy]

Uh... Shit, sorry, I'm no good at charades. You need me to give you something?

[This is a shot in the dark, but:]

I know that you had a role, and you could use it to save people from exorcisms.

[She shrugs helplessly. She's giving you permission to talk about role things...?]

[applechemist]

[ Escha nods, then shakes her head, waving a hand back and forth dismissively.

She points to Katy, then opens up her arms wider, as if to make that gesture bigger.

After a second she brightens up like she has an idea and... Takes a shoe off? And holds it up emphatically!!! Then sets it down and puts her hands over her eyes like binoculars or some kind of mask.

Then holds up seven fingers again. Her expression, unlike her miming, is pretty easy to read: she knows this isn't making any sense. ]

[polyapathy]

[Katy's nodding along, desperately trying to make sense of what Escha's trying to say... She feels like she's juuuust missing something.]

Okay, uh... You need me to give you seven of something. Seven people?

And it's got something to do with... what you can see from where you are?

[applechemist]

[ Hmm, okay... Escha shakes her head when Katy says "seven people," then shakes her head more rapidly at the last sentence. She points to Katy again before gesturing past her again.

She puts her hands like a bird and flaps it's wings! Then puffs up her chest and holds her hands in front of it, still as a bird. Then makes the eye goggles motion again. Then does, like, one hand still being the bird and the other hand still around her eyes. ]

[polyapathy]

...Bird's eye view...?

[Maybe Katy's just overthinking???]

[applechemist]

[ Escha shakes her head...

New strategy! Sort of? She points to Katy. Then motions like talking with one hand before gesturing outwards.

Then picks up her shoe again!!! Before holding up seven fingers one more time. ]
