Reactions have been pretty tame. Possibly people are afraid to look at me; I wear all black, and I have a shaved head, so I'm a little on the intimidating side. Today in the car, I pretended to cast a curse on a police officer who pulled up next to us. It involved a lot of finger wiggling. He mostly just stared at me. He was probably not sure how to react to a bald guy muttering in sign language. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep a straight face.
One of my jobs doesn't involve any face-to-face customer interaction, so I decided to wear my robes (next time you order something online, realize that the nice-sounding guy on the other end could be wearing just about anything... or nothing.) Again, almost no reaction. My boss continues to pretend that there's nothing strange about my clothing choice, although he does look a little nervous, as though he's unsure of how to broach the subject. My favorite reaction came from my co-worker, though. He came in and sat down in the cubicle next to mine, and we talked over the wall a little. After a moment I stood and came around. He looked me up and down, then gave me a nonplussed look. "Battleguard?" he asked.
Nope. Well... not yet, anyways.
