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! ]]

It creates super-intense heat, and molten iron sparks. You can melt through steel with it — and a lot of other stuff, honestly. Wanna know out how to make it?

[takeitslow]

[She's found the way to get Peter's interest, make it sound kind of dangerous.]

Like I could totally burn my way through a wall? That's kind of cool. You gonna tell me how or are you going to make me show up at these classes?

[niffin]

Like you could totally burn your way through a wall.

[ Depending on what, exactly, the Moira's walls are made of. ]

I could just tell you, but you'd still have to get your hands on the materials. So I'll make you a deal: If you come to three chemistry classes, I'll show you how to make it — and I'll make sure you've got everything you need to do it.

[ Three is a hard bargain, but she's willing to haggle. ]

[takeitslow]

Knew there was a catch in there somewhere.

[He hates school, but unlike some people he doesn't have metal powers. And he's a teenage boy. The allure of what mayhem he could cause with something like that is too great.]

Make the classes actually interesting and I'll try it out. No promises, got it?

[niffin]

I pinky-promise that I won't make you promise anything.

[ ...And she does the sign of the cross. Pretty sure that's not how you pinky-swear, Al. ]

But it'll be cool. I'll see if we can get out hands on some magnesium, that's always fun. I'll hit you up when we've got a schedule sorted.

[He snorts, because what? Oh well, maybe she's Catholic.]

You do that, lady. And get some people my age involved. I'm not hanging out with ten-year-olds.
