[Tailgate feels just a little big disoriented. If he had to provide a specific description of how he's feeling right now, he might say that it feels like some otherworld entity decided they couldn't handle him and decided to stick him in a freezer for two weeks. Though if actually asked how he feels, he'll just stick with the shorter explanation of "not too great." It was Swerve who pushed the fourth-wall button, after all, not him.

Having gotten off track in his own inner monologue, Tailgate decides to finally address the network. For the first time, as it turns out.]

Sooo... Do you ever feel like you fell asleep for a long time and suddenly you have no idea what's going on? Because believe it or not, that's happened twice in my life now.

So, uh, my name is Tailgate! Hi everyone! I'm Cybertronian, from Cybertron, my favourite colour is blue, I'm an Autobot and... um... [Oh jeez he's making himself sound so boring!] I... really like human movies, and I saved my world once. That's a good introduction I think. It's nice to meet all of you! I hope we can be friends.

[He fluffed it, he can feel it in his robot bones.]

Hi, everyone.

[ There’s a faint note of desperation to her voice, and she wears the harried look of someone acutely allergic to the spotlight. ]

I’m Alice, I’m one of three crew-members assigned to general education on the ship. Agent Texas and — uh — Queen Medusalith are your two other instructor contacts.

I don’t really have a title, but if you want some thematic consistency, you can always make one up. I sort of like ‘Esquire’, but that’s not exactly a prefix, is it?

We’re looking to get the ball rolling on some classes, but before we do that, we need to get an idea of where people are at and what everyone wants to learn.

If you could fill out this survey, I’d really appreciate it. In fact, I’m going to randomly pick someone who completes it and give them a prize. It’s a really, really, really cool one, you don’t want to miss out.

[ It’s a gel pen. The prize is a gel pen. ]

Also. Between the three of us, we should be able to cover the basics. But we’ll also be looking for volunteers to fill in the gaps. I’ve seen there’s a lot of interest in that already, which is. Um. Heartening.

So. If there are some special skills you’d like to share with the crew, we can help you to set up and schedule a class. Instructors will be run through a brief interview, to make sure you’re not like, a violently raging psychopath. 

[ She holds up a finger, and abruptly winces. ]

On the violent psychopathy note, we do have a couple of combat trainers aboard? So anything related to self-defense, murder, or a combo of the two should be run through them and not us. I assume. I just got here.

I guess if you have any questions, you can ask them here. One of us will answer.


[[ OOC: 

SO YOU WANT TO LEARN STUFF? Please fill out this form. 

SO YOU WANT TO TEACH STUFF? Whoa, another form. 

You can fill out both if you want!

We’ll go about putting together a class list, getting some IC classrooms, and all that as time allows. There’ll be a permanent signup link when that's settled, so don’t worry about it if you’re not down to clown just yet! ]]

Hey, so, if this thing really works like it's supposed to and it repeats whatever I say to it to everyone else... [SIGH.] I could kind of use some help. If anyone's by the feeding area? I need someone to go in there for me and get me something to eat, because whoever built this magic flying boat just HAD to cover EVERYTHING there in WOOD so I can't go in there without setting the whole thing on fire –

[She breaks off with a huff. She is really kind of embarrassed by having to ask for this – she does not like it at all. What's a good way to stop yourself feeling embarrassed? Oblique threats, probably. So:]

And, well, if nobody does go get me something, then I'll have to work out some other way to get food, and I'm pretty sure no one's going to like that.
