Wanted: Bulletin Wench or Wenchette

Okay, not really, but bear with me here.

For those unfamiliar with Avatar: the Last Airbender, Toph Beifong is blind. She has a unique method of getting about and kicking your ass, but in the case of reading and writing, she's about as adept as a turtle on a pogo stick. Thus, on her own, she is without access to [livejournal.com profile] damned_bulletin.

This is sadly becoming a problem for me as a player. For one, Toph has to rely on word of mouth for her information, a difficult feat when it comes to communication with another character. For another, (related to the first) I have to rely on chance circumstances when it comes to nightshift plans. There's more, but I'll keep this succinct.

Basically, I'd like to request a character (patient, nurse, doctor, donkey, etc.) who is willing to meet with Toph at the beginning or end of dayshift (preferably end) to go over messages on the bulletin. Not everything on the board has to be relayed to her vocally nor would they have to get together every single dayshift, but the job may require some dictated notes and light bedtime reading.

Let me know if you'd like to volunteer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Thank you, everyone, who've volunteered! ♥

Skuld could! Technically Hokuto too, but she's always QUITE busy...

She's got definite lunch plans, but I think that's it, and she has multiple reasons to check the board a lot. Does Toph need someone to suggest it to her, too? ^^ Because yeah, HER asking for help... uh huh.

If you would like the other Sumeragi twin, he's free for lunch!

Cool!

I believe at one point I offered Mikami for the job, since he's into reading stuff and taking notes anyway. ^^

I know that you speculated that the two might get along. I think if we steered the conversation right it could happen. ♥ And yeah- all to be done is get her out of showers early and to wherever he is, hehe.

Looks like you've already got volunteers, but if you ever need anyone, Obi-Wan is most certainly up for the job!

[identity profile] nest.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Please do! And I totally agree!! ♥ I should have asked if you wanted to backthread, but then I was wtfing over school and stuff. SORRY.

LOL. Tsubaki is always available for wenchette duties, if you need her. She'll even put up with more feet on the table~

HAHAHA. ONLY COOL PEOPLE ARE MANNERLESS SLOBS.

Miku will happily help Toph too! She liked her. :3

They can be food buddies. *killed*

I'd volunteer if I would have apped that character you want, but otherwise SORRY!

Yay, people with bulletin board issues unite! Ophelia's illiterate, as the Bride found out at breakfast. So she's going to be having a fair bit of trouble in that arena until she can track down someone willing to teach her how to read. XD

[identity profile] shallweplay.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for the offer! I was actually just about to post a message on the bulletin having to do with the issue. If you want one of your chars to help out, feel free to respond. :)

Kio can draw very well, and he's generally laid back and whatnot. But the mun is just crap at drawing. Would a [insert drawing here] work? If not, that's fine :D
eryn: (ophelia)

[personal profile] eryn 2008-11-25 08:41 am (UTC)(link)
That'd work just fine. :D

On an interesting note, if Kio tries to help, it could end up being an interesting test of the language laws. Does he know anything about language at Landel's yet?

[identity profile] bleakwinters.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 12:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! :D

Well, I don't fully understand the language laws, but from what I can gather, Kio would teach her Japanese, because that's his main language. Ophelia would hear him in whatever language the Claymore people speak, but she would read and write Japanese. XD

I think. Uh... yeah. ^^;;;

[identity profile] tirsden.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I could be wrong, but I do believe everybody speaks and writes the "same" language in Landels, regardless of what it would be in their canon. I think I remember mods getting after people for speaking secretly together in languages others couldn't understand... that or my memory sucks (and boy does it). Either way, it'd be worth checkin' with the mods.

o/ We should have our own club!

People can shake their heads at us and try teaching us how to read. |D

[identity profile] shallweplay.livejournal.com 2008-11-25 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
The Speech and Debate Club - where spoken communication rules the day. ;D

[identity profile] nakanai-toboe.livejournal.com 2008-11-26 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. I always did love speech team.

Well, you have volunteers here already, but I just wanted to mention the love for Avatar. I've started S2 now and OMFG I CAN'T WAIT FOR TOPH :DDDD. Also, it is strating to bug me that I want to app two different characters now. From 2 series. And just.... grah.

But ahem, yeah. Totally an Avatar fan here :D
