02 | There are beautiful things seen by the astronauts

[heavenscorpse]

Characters: V/V and you!
Setting: Anywhere not immediately dangerous.
Format: Action starting, but will match.
Summary: V/V can't communicate with anyone, pretty much, so there's only two things she can do: play her guitar and give hugs.
Warnings: None

[V/V does not speak common languages. In fact, she thinks her language isn't known by anyone else in this tower, or very nearly anyone. But she does know how to make people happy!

Those in the tower may see the angel walking around carrying her guitar in a case slug over her shoulder. She holds a sign that looks like this:



Upon spotting someone, she may wave enthusiastically at them. Do you want a hug?]

[chronomancer]

[Eridan is stuck in both Alternian and English for the duration, so there's not much he can do right now for her in terms of language, but he does offer her a little smile when he sees her, along with a wave of his hand. He does tilt his head to the side at the sign though.]

You want a hug?

[Not that. Saying it out loud helps much.]

[heavenscorpse]

[How to explain it... She doesn't know if she got the message across - her art's not that good - so she sets the sign aside and opens her arms.]

[chronomancer]

Uh.

[He looks a little uncomfortable, scratching the back of his neck.]

I guess... I could... give... you... one...

[I mean, that's the universal sign of hug me, right? Right. Uh.]

The role of eldritch horror will be helpfully played by Thai because I'm lazy.

[heavenscorpse]

[She's really not sure whether that was a yes or a no.]

ฉันสับสน

[Wait, trolls are sensitive to eldritch-horror-speak, aren't they...?]

lmfao

[chronomancer]

[Well, they're not sensitive, in general, just their resident, psychic emissary from the void having the hideous ability to make headsassplode all over the galaxy. But hey, Eridan is a Derse dreamer and his roommate is occasionally possessed by a limb-creaking tree of horror and his ex was kind of the same, so he's a bit more used to it than most.

So on the upside, instead of you know, screaming in horror and running away, he's just. Going to stare a little.]

...well then.

[cullscuttlefish]

[Awww! That sign is awfully adorable. Feferi bounces on her heels a little, waving back. Opening one's arms is the universal sign that hugs are okay, no?]

[heavenscorpse]

[Yaaay~ V/V sets the sign aside and goes in for the hug.

Hugs are a universal language of 'I appreciate your existence', as far as she's concerned.]

[cullscuttlefish]

[They pretty much are the universal sign of 'hey, you are here and you exist and I like that.' Plus, Feferi has yet to meet anyone with wings here in the tower that she doesn't like. Wings tend to equal 'this person is a complete and utter sweetheart' in her book.]

Thank you. That's a reely sweet thing to do.

[She points to the sign, then smiles.]

[heavenscorpse]

[She's learned her lesson from Eridan and keeps quiet, but she does smile back.

Next she'll tap her guitar case, and then to Feferi. 'Would you like me to play for you?']

[idolizer]

[ Oh, it's the girl she's given singing lessons to. Sayaka is confused by the picture at first, but then recognizes it as a... hug? Is she asking for hugs?

She'll wave back at the girl, and then points to the picture questioningly. Figures that V/V will probably be unable to understand her language. ]

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V sets the sign down and opens her arms with a smile.

Hugs, Sayaka Maizono, are a universal language.]

[idolizer]

[ ... ooooh, ok. That can be manageable. She can't say no to hugs when the girl is being so adorable about it! Besides, hugs are always the best coping mechanism for everything.

She smiles, comes closer and wraps the girl in a gentle hug. ]

[heavenscorpse]

[It is a wonderfully warm and perfect hug, in V/V's opinion. She lets it last for a bit before pulling back and smiling. ♥!]

I NEED THIS CR

[heartfeltfancy]

[...bwuh? The language barrier slips her mind once more, and she responds in Hindi.]

{Huh? Are you asking for..a hug?}

SO DO I

[heavenscorpse]

[Well, she doesn't understand that, but it was a question, so V/V will just nod and assume she was asking something yes or no.]

WHY HASN'T IT HAPPENED ALREADY

[heartfeltfancy]

[ She blinks. Did the girl understand her? Maybe. ]

{Um...I guess if you want one...}

[ VERT TENTATIVELY APPROACHING. ]

IDK MAN

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V sets the sign aside and gives the nervous girl a gentle hug, rubbing her back as she does so. It's gonna be okay.]

[ogrewhelming]

[It's hard to tell exactly what that is. Some sort of wrestling hold, obviously, but it's hard to tell exactly what the arm position is.]

A double collar tie...?

[The feet aren't quite right for that, but then again, V/V's artistic skills are... there's no polite way to say it, really. Perhaps it is mean to depict a throwing technique in progress?]

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V really has no idea what Sakura is saying. She sets the sign down and approaches Sakura, smiling hopefully.

Please don't throw her.]

[ogrewhelming]

[It really doesn't seem right, but it's all she can think of.]

Is this what you mean?

[Maybe if she... acts it out? It looks utterly ridiculous with one person.]

[heavenscorpse]

[That gets a giggle and a shake of her head. V/V opens her arms and moves in slow-motion, giving Sakura enough time to retreat if she doesn't want to be hugged.]

[ringbearer]

[ frodo doesn't expect to run into her, though when he sees the crudely drawn sign, he does raise a brow. she hardly seems harmful..and that picture. ]

They're embracing, aren't they?

[ he can only imagine he's speaking to some sort of child. ]

[heavenscorpse]

[She's not a child just because drawing's not her talent okay >: You got it, Frodo. V/V sets the sign down and approaches with arms open.

Free hugs! Hugs for hobbits.]

[ringbearer]

[ alkfwje!! frodo blinks a bit, not quite understanding but he can see a hug when he notices one, and hesitantly walks towards her. she seems only to desire a hug. who was he to deprive her of one? ]

[heavenscorpse]

[V/V gently hugs him, and pulls away before it gets too weird. A smile, and she almost opens her mouth to thank him before remembering that her language is unsettling.]
