YO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING
 |
SAY WHAT? Nicolas was born deaf, which means the CDC's lovely little earpiece with its lexicon of language translations is pretty much useless to him. He has the ability to read lips, though, which helps him better communicate with people who are not well-versed in sign language. Unfortunately, the only language he can read is English, with a few samplings of Japanese. Given panfandom's glorious multitude of languages to work with, that causes some problems! It would be greatly appreciated if you could spare a few seconds to fill out a simple form below, just to help me out in our eventual playing. :) Thanks a lot! ♥ |

What language do they speak? Maya speaks a (as of yet unnamed) language native to her own home country. She also knows some basic sign language but 1) she's not yet fluent and 2) just like her spoken language, Maya's sign language is native to her own world (so probably useless here).
Do they speak using a mouth/lips that can be read? Yes!
If yes, do they have a tendency to talk fast? Frequently, but not always. I can make an additional effort to point it out in action tags when Maya is beginning to get ramble-y.
Anything else to note? Maya's used to being around people with hearing disabilities (like her pal Steph from her world) so once she knows Nicolas is deaf she shouldn't have too much trouble accommodating for that, asides from needing to be reminded sometimes to slow down if she starts talking too fast...

What language do they speak? Japanese!
Do they speak using a mouth/lips that can be read? Yes!
If yes, do they have a tendency to talk fast? Yeeep.
Anything else to note? 40% of his words are excitedly vocalized sound effects, so while Japanese is a stretch, the "whoaaaa," "patta patta patta" and "bam!"s may be readable. Fortunately(??), he relies more on expressions than words to get his points across.

Do they speak using a mouth/lips that can be read? does he ever.
If yes, do they have a tendency to talk fast? Maybe if he gets riled up, but even then it's more inflection/volume than a ton of speed, so Nic can escape that, at least.
Anything else to note? He probably has never seen sign language in his life.

Do they speak using a mouth/lips that can be read? yes.

What language do they speak? Fantasy Japanese Deathflag Porn
Do they speak using a mouth/lips that can be read? Yes
If yes, do they have a tendency to talk fast? No. She tends to speak very calmly and quietly, but the speed picks up slightly if she's angry or in the middle of a fight
Anything else to note? She tends to make gestures when speaking, either with her head or with her hands. Her eyes are especially expressive, so he'll be able to tell, at least, what she's feeling at any given moment. She would also be willing to learn signing once she gets to know him.
