Emerson was mortified. He had coffee all over him and couldn't follow a words the red faced man in front of him was screaming. He had just gotten his drink when he turned around and ran into the stranger, sending both of their cups spilling on both of them. He saw everyone in the coffee shop staring and continued to get more and more embarrassed. When he didn't respond to anything the man was saying he finally was able to make out the words "what are you deaf or something?!" Come from the man. He swallowed thickly and nodded slowly.

"....yes..." He said softly, wishing he could disappear from the situation.

(this is chor hi) im thinking of making a deaf character for unchained, got any tips for that? i was thinking maybe having a good sense of focus in the eyes

After watching Tommy’s videos, he delved a bit into what other sense impairments are like for other people. He noted that, being blind didn’t make his sense of hearing any better, but instead it was his skills in listening. If you were to make a deaf character, perhaps he wouldn’t have better sight, but instead would notice more things that people would normally leave behind. For instance, if you’re walking about, you may not notice how many leaves would fall off of the tree you just passed, but a deaf person might, because they’re not concentrating on sounds. Reading lips is another thing you might do, or focus a lot on body language. So, as an example, say Stray is making a speech about ranking. Your character could focus on his body language and the way his mouth is moving to tell what he might be talking about, as well as the world around you. You could notice that a few dogs have lined up, as they usually do, for the ceremony, and guess by that what it is he’s speaking of. My guess is that most of the things in RP with come to you by your character’s familiarity with certain situations.I’mma post this publicly in case people also wanted some tips for RPing a deaf character!
