[She almost feels weird locking it to his real name, but she goes with it. And without really knowing why she's doing it to begin with, when she feels like she's falling apart. But talking to him makes her forget how she feels sometimes. And so after this...]

You know, there's a video out there right now of a guy that looks like the type that would get hit by a bus and then pretend it wasn't a big deal when he's talking to people about it. [...] Do you think I should be worried about that guy?

	Nay, it be not so. But then, no one has sought to teach me a thing in some time. At least, not a thing I could not learn on my own. If thou hast some unclaimed time and such a device... [DOT DOT DOT] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-05 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Because you could teach yourself, or because there wasn't anything you needed to learn? [Pause.] I didn't mean to force you into asking. Now I'm starting to feel like I did with the whole name reveal thing. [...] I could, though. I'm not sure how good my phone is going to be to learn on for you, though.

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-05 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	The first. Thou does me no justice, to think I could be forced to ask a thing. Why wouldst thy phone not be serviceable? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-06 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Anything like that since you showed up here? Sorry. It's stuff like that I worry about. I don't mean it to be an insult to you. [Awkward.] I don't have any apps for the visually impaired. It's just a standard phone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-06 12:18 am UTC (link)
	Everything like that. I know thy nature well enough, angel. There be apps for visually impaired? Are there so many? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You've been able to teach yourself everything about modern ~~shit~~ stuff since you got here? That's [...] impressive.

[A laugh. Just a little one.] I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, you know.

I'd think so. There's other stuff for them. [...] For you. I mean, I don't know everything because I've never had to look into it. But I think there's a bunch of it. [...] I could look into it for you?

	"Teach" it may be so strong a word... I am an excellent judge of character. Stuff. [Knowing by now this could mean anything.] Charity? What is the need for this "visually impaired." They are afraid to say "blind"? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Searching for a different word.] Adapt? You're doing good however you say it. From what I can tell.

[...] And you're still talking to me, so I guess you can't find my character completely terrible, right?

Not charity. I mean, there's that too. But more like [...] aids? Things redesigned so that they work better for blind people. I think there's things for movies so that more of what's going on gets described instead of you needing to see it to know what's going on. And there's braille on things. [...] Do you know how to read braille?

I think it's supposed to be a bigger group that just the blind? Like people who aren't fully blind but still mostly can't see and still maybe need help.

	I have some assistance with ties. E'en so. Astonishing care, for what amounts to beggars in my time. [...] Nay, I think that I must read to read the braille. O, I had not thought of that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[That makes her laugh.] You wear a lot of them?

[...] It still makes me think maybe it's just that you don't know me very well yet. Like someday I'll say something and it'll be too much for you.

I think the ultimate goal is to give everyone an equal chance, no matter what. [...] Oh. Yeah, I guess so. Sorry, I forgot about that. [...] There's probably places that could teach you, if you were interested in learning. People have to learn how to do it somehow.

I think it's the same with hearing impaired and stuff like that. But I don't fit into any of those groups, so I'm probably not the best one to answer any questions about that.

	Ay. To blend in. What thing dost thou think would shock me? Men are not born equal. [...] ~~Tho~~ You do not think they would know me for what I was should I go to such a place? [Obviously not having thought of that, either.] O. 'Tis an odd thing to think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ties instead of a tshirt or something? Where are you trying to blend in?

If I start telling you things now, I run the risk of you stopping talking to me. [...] And I like talking to you.

But to give people an equal chance to make the most of themselves. I'm not saying it works or that we're any good at it, but I think that's the dream. [...] I don't think they'd automatically guess that you were a transplant from a different time. Or that you're a superhero.

What's odd about it?

	Men in average suits, they blend in. [Firmly.] I think I may dare thee to try it. A pretty dream. I like it. [...] What dost thou think they would think? That any would take notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Depends on where you're going.

I think I may start small then.

You still get people being assholes and thinking all sorts of shitty things about other people, but I guess it's a place to start. [...] They might think you were a little crazy. Or maybe on drugs. Or an actor that's really into his role. Or someone that spends too much time at Ren Faires.

Take notice of what? [...] That other people might need help with stuff?

	Ay, well, in less savory parts of the city, it is not the tie I wear, yes. Clementine says I am not in black as I thought. 'Tis true? How small? O ay, I have heard much of Ren Faires. Mayhap it will inprove my speech. Of such people. Such men as I were a nuisance, an amusement, at best. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew inkonstage 2015-10-06 06:23 am UTC (link)
	~~Clementine?~~ Not in black? [...] You mean in the video? Sort of small? [...] I don't look my age anymore. I made a wish so that if look older. Learning to read or going to Ren Faires? [Smile.] You're still people. I know that's probably not the way it was where you're from, and people still fuck it up now too. But you're still people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Marta/Matthew sightless 2015-10-06 06:27 am UTC (link)
	When I am not in my tie. What age dost thou be? [Mimicking things he has heard willy nilly.] Ha ha. The schoolrooms of which thou speak. How strange and naive thou dost be. An' yet this city is not so kindly as thy describe. I do not understand it, sometimes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
