May the record forever show the true nature of Caster, Archer, and Lancer.♥

[Four videos and another text message go up in rapid succession.]

[Video 1]
[Ginia offers a smile and a small wave before she begins signing. Her signs are smooth and clear, a measured speed for clarity. She's filming in her temple, the large den her backdrop.]

Hello, my name is Ginia. Awhile ago, I spoke to Lavi about offering sign language practice to his students, but was unable to reach out to his students due to life circumstances.

I thought I would ask now if any of his current students would like tutoring or someone to practice with. I'm also happy to help anyone that would like to learn sign language. We can work individually or in a group setting, whatever people would prefer.

Feel free to comment here or message me at [IC contact] any time. Thank you for your time.

[In the background of her video, as Ginia signs her message, Lancer enters with a full laundry basket. And a bucket of water? He sets the bucket down, sits on the couch, and begins folding the laundry. Or at least he attempts too. Never has someone struggled so much with folding shirts into neat squares. As he sets the folded clothes aside on the couch, one of the temple's large white dogs wanders in, climbs onto the couch, and flops on all of Lancer's work.]

[Video 2]
[Upon reviewing the video and realizing the event in the background, Ginia decides to film a second video. Can't embarrass her fellow shinki after all.]

[The setup is similar, though this time the background is the kitchen. As Ginia records, Archer walks into view and sets some treats on the floor. A large white dog wearing a Hawaiian shirt sits by the treats. This continues until there are four white dogs lined up in the background, all wearing different Hawaiian shirts. Once the last dog - a small, wiggly puppy - is in place, Archer drops a pair of sunglasses on the first dog, winks at the camera, and walks out.]

[Video 3]
[Dammit Archer!]

[The third video in the same big common area as the first. While the events in the background of previous two could have been accidents, at this point it’s clear the men in the background are doing it on purpose. Lancer is lying on the floor, arms spread out, and Archer and Caster are busy laying a pile of big white dogs on top of him. The first one doesn't protest, the second wags his tail excitedly, the third one is *unsure* but goes along anyway. There is also a small pupper that on her own decides to sit on Lancer's ankle. Caster is laughing and commenting but Archer looks at this masterpiece with critical eye - something is missing, something crucial. With sudden and strong pat on Caster's back, he sends him flying with a loud "geh" right on top of that pile.

There, perfect.]

[Ginia doesn't even try to record a message. A hand covers her face, shoulders shaking with laughter.]

[Video 4]
[There's no point trying anymore. Ginia gives the camera an exasperated eye roll. In the background, the men have stacked on each other like a totem pole: Lancer as the base, Archer on his shoulders, and Caster on top shouting directions as the tower of tall trolls lumbers toward Ginia.

Ginia reaches to the side and pulls out a large, brightly colored plastic gun and begins to unload foam darts on them, hitting each one squarely in the face a few times. As they stagger and try to retreat, drawn by the noise and falling darts, the puppy and one of the larger dogs begun to run around their feet, tripping Lancer and toppling all three to the ground.

Shouldering the gun, Ginia turns back to the camera and winks.]

If anyone is interested in learning sign language, or knows sign language and would like someone to practice with, I'm willing to teach or provide practice sessions. These can be individual or group-based, whatever people would prefer.

Now that we've been properly shamed there is a chance we won't do it again.

[unlucky7]

I see it less shaming and more showing everyone your ingenuity and strengths.

1/2

[futhark]

Then it's the opposite! A record to remember

[ You can probably hear him laughing from the upper floor ]

[lostinshadows]

You guys ought to be your own sitcom.

[unlucky7]

Too bad we're so easily ignored; having a video go viral is probably an easy way to get followers.

[He can't help but smile at the videos. It seems like Caster's temple is a very rowdy place but Ginia seems to be very much at home there.]

Your temple has very well trained dogs. [Seriously how did they get the dogs in Hawaiian shirts?] I would be interesting in learning sign language. [He's been meaning to ask her about it for a little while actually.

[unlucky7]

[They're a temple of tall, trolly disasters and Ginia fits right in. The teasing in the videos, the subsequent posting, it's all out of love.]

They're great dogs.

[All five of them.]

Sure thing. Do you want individual lessons or group lessons?

[galrarm]

Looks like you've got a good thing going in your temple.

[ He's very much amused. ]

I'd love to take you up on your offer for lessons.

[unlucky7]

They're trolls, but they're mine. I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Sure thing. Any preference for individual or group lessons?

[Thanks teacup ghost? Ginia saves the picture.]

Are you okay? You didn't hit your head, did you?

[towards_okeanos]

May I say you people are the best! You should make a play! There so much untapped comedic potential there.

[Iskandar haven't laughed that hard for a long time. It's always a bliss too see others just being friends. Even if he already had whole of Caster's temple in high regard they just scored some additional points on his respect meter. He's also happy to see Ginia smile. After the rabbits incident he was a bit worried. Not to forget that discovering that Caster's all-serious-all-the-time Exemplar has a mischievous streak is pleasantly surprising development. ]

I would also happily sing for for lessons if you're not overwhelmed by students already.

[unlucky7]

You're the second to suggest that. Maybe I should record what happens around the temple more often.

[Rake in that sweet sweet Youtube money.]

I'm not overwhelmed at all. Even if I was, I'd be happy to make space for you.

[abgrund]

do you need hands to sign?

[unlucky7]

A hand at least, or something that can form a hand-like shape? I'm willing to make things work.

Wow.. They're so talented! They should be joining the Olympics! Or the circus!! [ It's not even meant to shame them, this is genuine admiration.. What else would you expect from Minako who just loves everything over the top and ridiculous. ]

But about the sign language part.. Do you prefer signing over using your phone? Because I'm totally up for learning if it's more comfortable for you! It might be fun too!

[ It doesn't even matter that she's only spoken to Ginia once before. She's up for accomodating her anyway. ]

[unlucky7]

Definitely the Olympics. They're all incredibly athletic, especially Lancer! He spends most of his day training, it's really impressive.

[However, there's probably a rule against spirits competing in the Olympics. Oh well, it's a good dream.]

It's definitely faster and easier for me to sign, but less people know sign language so it's easier using my phone. But learning a new language is hard so people should learn for their own reasons, not only to make things easier for me.

[mersunary]

Haha, you have such a lively temple! I'd imagine things are never boring with a group like that.

My shinki has a difficult time with speaking, so knowing something like this would probably be very helpful. You can count me in for certain, and I'll see if she'd like to come along as well.

[unlucky7]

It never is, though this is the most collectively mischievous I've seen them.

I happily welcome both of you. Any preference for private lessons or learning in a group? I'm also happy to work around your schedule, mine is fairly open and easy to adjust.

[irishfriskey]

Well at least we won't get too many laundry related tasks from here out?

[unlucky7]

Probably not. But if there's a laundry ayakashi lurking around, you can take care of it.

[alchemists]

The dogs at your temple put on quite the show.

Also, for the sign language lessons I would be interested in learning it if there is a group set up.

[unlucky7]

They're good dogs. Very well-trained.

I think I have enough interest at this point to roll everyone into a group or two. Any preference for days and time? Also the lessons will be at my templr or the library, is that okay?

[yasei]

And a splendid record it is.

[ Everything about this is very splendid. He will be saving this to look back at. ]

On the sign language note, I am learning! Still very much a novice but practice could help with that.

[unlucky7]

I'm happy to be a practice partner then. May I ask if you're learning from someone else here or some other method?
