Shall we take bets on whether or not zombies are the worst thing we'll see this year?

[Horst is lounging on a couch near a fire, a book open and on his chest.]

I realized, with all the new arrivals especially, we have a pool of unusual skills here. Would anyone be willing to teach a few classes? For instance: I could teach...oh, bar tending. Card dealing. Physics and labwork--you know, whatever there is interest for.

The ponies could teach 'Frolicking 101'. The angels could teach 'Offending Someone in Two Words or Less'.



[PRIVATE to RACHEL]

Have you done opera at all?

I teach English, primarily!

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

But you know how to teach, in general! What's an obscure hobby or talent you have?

[exarmatio]

Ah...

Marksmanship...? I'm also very good at potions...

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Fun things, son, fun things.

[exarmatio]

... R-reading...? Circle-drawing...?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...I hope you plan on attending some of these classes. You're like an old man, crammed in a young man's body. It's unhealthy.

[exarmatio]

Heeh? B-but... I like reading and circle-drawing...

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...Yes but you can't teach reading in my school.

[exarmatio]

... W-well, what do you want me to teach?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well--you see, the school is only partly about survival. It's mostly about...how to cope here. How to have fun.

[exarmatio]

How to... have fun?

[... oh. He actually has to think about that. Isn't that silence worrisome?]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...You're going to be a student.

[That's the firm, I'm the Father voice that he so rarely uses.]

[exarmatio]

... b-but...

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

You need it.

[exarmatio]

... o-okay.
