Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"...." Leo was silent, before groaning.

"Greeeeeeeat." he said.

"I'll talk to Nakia about getting you a workable base amount again." he told her.

"And you need to speak with someone about getting your I.D. back." he continued.

"At the very least, your health card." he went on.

"And you'll need to probably cancel and close your account and open a new one, maybe at another bank."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree tapped the headset.

"I will." She told him.

\Now that I have th headset, it should be easy as can be. Since I can actually HEAR them again. She added, signing it.

Not everyone knows ASL, and I get it. So having the ability to hear is lovely. With my phone I can at least type for people to read. Instead of confusing people with signing.

Leo nodded.

"That's fair." he said.

He then paused for a moment, shaking his head.

"Again, could probably ask Dean to help you out with getting I.D. and such." he went on.

"For now, here." he continued, taking out his wallet and pausing.

"Wait..." he mumbled.

"I'll exchange what I have for Canadian money and give you that."

Desiree paused a moment. That hadn't even occured to her. She didn't say anything before just nodding, knowing it was a good idea.

They were sitting there and just chatting for a bit before Leo decided it was a good idea for him to head out and hit up a bank before they closed. After he left, Desiree returned to straightning things up again, and Dean found her in the worship hall, picking up some things that people dropped from a service earlier in the day. She heard him approach before waving, but not looking over as she continued to sweep and pick stuff up.

Dean paused for a moment as he saw the headphones she was wearing... and noticed that she had waved to him without seeing him, as if she had heard him approach her. But she said she was almost completely deaf?

And what were the headphones doing?

He raised an eyebrow, before approaching her even closer, and deciding to try something.

It seemed like she could hear him, so he would test that.

"Have a nice chat with your friend?" he asked her.

Desiree nodded before straightening up and dropping the couple things she'd picked up into the trash she had nearby.

yep. He'll be back though, had to head out for a moment. She signed.

And yes, I know you want to know about the tech. They're specially made for me, and accomodate for my lack of hearing. she continued.

I can hear damned near perfectly with them on.

"...well, that is certainly impressive, to understate it massively." Dean responded.

"Truly miraculous, one might say." he added.

"The wonders of technology never cease to amaze." he then chuckled.

"And specially made for you? By your friend, I assume?" he asked her.

Yep. Desiree signed back.

"He's quite talented." Dean then commented.

He's brilliant when it comes to tech. Desiree signed.

And probably one oif the main reasons why I'm even alive still. We met, by chance, a few years back and it was a quick and fast friendship. She added before pausing.

Oh... and I noticed that you have a camp thing cming up that you were looking for an innocent kid friendly jkind of performance for. Have you found anything yet?

Dean smiled hearing that she had such a good friend like Leo, but then paused when she asked about whether or not he had found a performance for the children yet. He sighed, and shook his head.

"No." he said. "I have not." he admitted.

"Most of the performers or groups I've talked to either can't because of red tape, or their schedules are too full, or what have you." he told her.

"The only performer that has the time in their schedule is an illusionist that... well... their illusions would be a little too much for the children. It would most certainly scare them." he lamented.

"Why?" he asked. "Do you know of someone?"

Desiree just chuckled.

I could do it. She signed.

I usually do the odd kids birthday party. When I'm not in between homes, the rare time I'm actually able to get a place to live.

Dean looked to be surprised for a moment.

"You?" he asked.

"I did not know you were in the performing industry." he admitted.

"Well, if you will do it, and you're kid-friendly, then I will happily accept your proposal." he then told her further, before pausing.

"Ah, before I do that." he then mumbled.

"What do you do in your act, exactly?" he asked her. "What does it all entail?"

Desiree just smirked before shrugging and walking to take what she had back to where it was meant to be. However, as she did so, she climbed up some stairs he couldn't see, and cleaned a cobweb that was high on the ceiling before making her way down and to where she was initially aiming. Once she'd dropped all that off at the door, she made her way back.

Levitation magic, mostly. she signed.

Along with some slight of hand stuff. She added as she held her phone out to him, as she'd walked past and obviously swiped it along the way.

Dean was silent as Desiree said and did what she did, before chuckling.

"Perfect!" he stated.

"Especially seeing as the children are not wise in the ways of the world." he told her.

"They'll truly be amazed, astounded, mystified, and entertained." he went on.

"Then it's settled!" he then announced.

"Thank you so much, Desiree!"

...and I'll forgive thy

Desiree just chuckled.

It's the absolutely least I could do as a thank you for helping me out as you have. She signed.

.... Alsso, I didn't see a date listed on the flyer. When is it?

"Ah, yes, that needs to be updated." Dean remembered.

"It's at the end of the month." he told her.

"So in about 2 and a half weeks." he said further.

"If I didn't get someone in the next week or so, I would have omitted it from the flyer entirely." he went on.

"But I'll need to update the flyers now." he reasoned.

"How would you like to be credited?" he asked.

Desiree paused a moment.

"Uhhhh." She started, thinking about it. She didn't really have a specific name.

Desiree. She signed, spelling it out.

I don't really have a stage name.

Dean nodded in response.

"Very well." he said.

"Is there anything I can do to help you prepare for the show?" he asked.

"Stage set up, supplies, anything else?" he asked further.

"End of the month is pretty short notice, but I should be able to help with whatever you may need if I start now." he then reasoned.

Desiree just shook her head.

Not really. I usually just use whatever I happen to have on hand. She signed.

If you must do anything, somewhere soft for kids, people, to land would be lovely. Just in case someone falls.

Dean thought about it for a moment, and then nodded.

"All right." he said.

"How will you be communicating with the audience?" he then asked.

"Signing all the time will surely be awkward." he continued.

"Or do you incorporate pantomime in your act or something?" he asked further.

"I merely ask because... well, you seem to be rather frustrated with your particular little speech impediment." he then added.

Desiree just sighed before shaking her head.

I mime most of it. Playing up a mute role. She signed.

Gets laughs out of the kids, and the best I can do. Because yes, signing is a task and a half with those that don't understand it, and I can barely speak. She added.

On that note... do you happen to know anyone who could help with that? I've been looking for awhile and not had much luck.
