starter for: @finneganparker location: the bar at the nye bash
She had just managed to make her way to the very crowded bar when she was suddenly plunged into silence. Val let out a groan, not that she could hear herself with her implant not working. She really needed to get the stupid thing checked out. Now what was she going to do? The bar was still just as crowded, she could communicate what she wanted vocally somewhat, but she couldn't gauge how loud she was speaking without her implant and didn't know if the bartender could hear her. Nor could she catch what the bartender tried to ask her after she attempted to give him her order, there was too much activity going on, and the bartender wasn't in one place long enough for her to be able to read his lips.
They'd been standing there for a few minutes, Val resorting to trying to sign in a way that would be understandable to someone who didn't know ASL and failing miserably when she felt someone come to stand at the bar next to her. She was going to need to give up soon, she was taking up valuable space at the bar and clearly wasn't getting her point across.
