Wingedwisp’s Signing School for the deaf, mute and all those other cats. WSFMDOC for short. Or Wing’s school It is really bad at naming stuff ok ANYWAYS, here we go! This is the project for Divided Skies’s sign language (currently unofficial), all created by Wingedwisp! (Irp, out of roleplay other people give me ideas too!) Here are the general rules for this! 1. Cats outside of Talonclan only know this if they have interacted with Winged at least ONCE or are related to it. Exceptions apply to all leaders, deputies and medics. 2. Please please /PLEASE/ do not hate on cats who use this! 3. Guys just ask and I’ll make a new word in this kk 4. Winged makes signs for cats it meets, if you would like to choose your cat’s signs please comment below and I’ll add it! 5. All Talonclan cats know basic signs and rank signs 6. All highranks now basic signs and rank signs, Medics know all herbs. 7. Guys if you’ve never interacted w Winged (or a trained) except for the /really/ basic signs you should mess up some of the more complicated ones. 8. Just ask to roleplay with Winged or one of the trained signers!
