Give thy thoughts no tongue

Who| Initiate and OPEN
What| Initiate got told to go to speech therapy lest he find himself avoxed again. His escort signed him up. He's not enjoying this.
Where| Around any lobby, lounge, cafe, library, or park -- you decide! 
When| Wibbly wobbly time -- various points before and after dying gruesomely in the children's arena
WARNINGS| Language. 

The books are piled high around him. There's enough he could build himself a small tower, or he could rearrange them into a wall what he could sit inside. Truthfully, he ain't above none of those things, but he's on business right this minute.

Some very frustrating, slightly painful business.

Normally, when he takes to reading-- which is often-- he keeps quiet, letting the words roll all into his skull of their own willing. Reading out-loud just drew attention on things he didn't need attention for. In this case, however, he ain't got a choice. Alex hadn't outfight said, get this done or you'll be made a mute again, but there was still the threat there, and if he had to talk with the motherfucker again, it might not go so well. But the other reason was that he hadn't actually signed up willing. It had been done for him, and it was awful, and he'd be happy to never ever motherfucking do for one of them sessions again, with the Capitolite "speech therapist" making like he was some kind of stupid and couldn't talk just as well as any.

Like he did the fluctuations deliberate. He didn't. Doesn't. But they happen, all scarred on him by the power of his voodoo, and he can't just make it stop. Voodoo scarring don't fade. This is a futile task.

Still, he's here, reading Shakespeare aloud and miserable. 

"WHAT-- gh-- what do you read my lord? WOR-- rrr-- FUCK!" His voice has never sounded quite so hoarse. His face is twisted up like he's in physical pain. He breathes deep through his fangs. "Words, words, words. WHAT IS THE M- OTHERFUCKING...! Whatisthematter,mylord, betweenwho!"

He drops the book and let his face fall in his hands. So what if everyone can hear him whine? They can hear him doing this shit, which is even worse. This is never going to work.

Sigma had preemptively reached for the book as Kurloz begins to speak, and his fingers freeze above it, somewhere near where the other picks idly. Suddenly, all of Sigma's existence seems to click into place - his foresight, the human purpose, Terezi's power being so like his own - and he feels that Initiate has given him the answer he had spent his many lives searching for. Sigma turns his body towards Kurloz, expression dumbfounded, but his eyes filled with wonder.

"Is that the truth? Your people are the..." He loses his breath to the concept. He tries to gesture to convey his excitement, but it becomes akin to exasperated flailing. He composes himself and starts again, forcing his hands onto his lap as he fidgets in his seat: "Kurloz... I have known for the majority of my life that there was an order of intelligence higher than ours. Very few do. For most humans, I compare it to a termite navigating the mound they have built and never knowing the scale or meaning of what they have helped to construct - you mean to say that trolls are the ones who can observe the work of humans?" There was more to it - much more, including what the espers could summon - but it was based on the idea that all creation was the work of gods and not another set of worlds entirely. He stares hopefully at the other, putting the breaks on his theory long enough to listen. The trolls' cultural gift could wait another moment. "Why?"
