[Goodbye drone husband. Hello Signless who is getting the most restful sleep he's gotten in sweeps. It's almost a shame he's a terribly light sleeper. Even small noises or movements on the other side of the bed will wake him.

Care to test it?]

[Phone]

From what I've- oh, am I not holding it right? I apologize- thank you. From what I've been told I'm no longer on Alternia. I'm not sure how much of a blessing I can call this but I'm sure I'll get used to this town. Being a completely different species, however, will take some adjusting.

Lulu, Di, Psi- if any of you are here, please do not hesitate to let me know. That includes anyone else who may be from Alternia and those who are not. I'd like to meet the..."locals" for lack of a better term.

I'm afraid I must come off as very rude for not introducing myself before asking to meet people. If you wish to call me by a name, you may call me Signless.

[Mindy is spying on new not!daddy while he's talking on the phone. This one seems.... less creepy than the last one.]

[When he finishes, Signless feels...watched. Setting down the phone and turns his head, catching sight of Mindy out of the corner of his eye.

Oh, so there's a human wriggler here too. He smiles, looking about as threatening as a young barkbeast.]

There's no need to hide, little one.

[She slowly edges into the room, eying him warily.]

Hello...

[The last one had seemed nice too, before she saw him in the backyard making snowmen out of murdered drones....]

[Without the town screwing with things, the only snowmen he'll be making will be dead drone-free and snugly wrapped in scarves and hats.

He bends on one knee to get down to her level, his warm smile not fading. He likes children, adores them really.]

Hello.

.....You're the new daddy, aren't you?

[She's been through this half a dozen times already. When the pictures change, someone new is in your family. She hugs her teddy bear tightly, but gives him a hesitant smile.]

I'm Mindy.

['Daddy'? Is that what humans call male lusii?]

It seems the town has set me in that role. It's very nice to meet you, Mindy. I am Signless.

[She giggles a little.]

Signless? That's a funny name.

[What is tact?]

Action, BOO my html sucks tonight

[nosigntospeakof.livejournal.com]

It does sound a little silly, doesn't it? But I like it. That's why I chose it.

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

You chose it? You didn't get named by your mommy?

[nosigntospeakof.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, we're allowed to choose our names when we reach a certain age. I had a different one, a long time ago, but when I grew up I took on a different one that suited me better.

What's a 'mommy'?

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

Mommies and Daddies are the people who take care of you. They give you a name and help with your homework and read you bedtime stories. Didn't you have them?

[Aww, now she feels really bad for him.]

[nosigntospeakof.livejournal.com]

So they're the human equivalent to a lusus. How very interesting.

I do have a 'mommy' then. She's here in Mayfield actually, her name is Dolorosa.

[friendly-ghosts.livejournal.com]

A lusus?


Your mommy is here? You're real lucky! You better spend lots and lots of time with her in case they decide to take her away! I haven't seen my mommy in a long time...
