[Horst is sitting on the wall, and he lies back and sets the PCD down behind him. It can catch sight of the moon overhead and, sometimes, Horst's hands. Sewing.]

You know, it's summer and I'm sleeping quite a bit more--consider it my hibernation period. But that's really not much of an excuse not to get to know all these newcomers, especially with so many people leaving....

I'm Horst Cabal. I run a bar, sometimes. I'm going to start a school--everyone is welcome to attend or teach a class.

If you hibernate I'll see you even less than before.

I was only joking, doll. Here; what do you think?

[He holds up the sewing project for her to see: a decently made sock mouse.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

A mouse?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...Yes. Doesn't it look like one? Look, he's even got a rainbow scarf.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

[She came over to him and sat beside him.] I didn't know you could sew.

[al_truism]

We're really going to have a school?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

That's because I can't. I sew like a blind two year old, look at my fingers! [Dotted with a dozen needle marks, which will heal overnight.

He pulls Alice up onto his knee.]

It was one of Cloud's shirts. I know he would have wanted you to have something to hold onto.

[grandtheftbody.livejournal.com]

Why would you bother starting a school?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Because people spent a week arguing over whether or not we should eat rainbow sheep. We need something to pass the time.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I hope so!

[grandtheftbody.livejournal.com]

What a ridiculous argument for citizens of an apocalyptic wasteland, really. When you put it that way, it's difficult to disagree.

[al_truism]

... I haven't been to school since I was eight.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I can teach whatever you like.

Hey.

Mind if I drop by? They're important things I'd like to tell you about. [And she's been postponing this for some time now. But with Raphael suddenly barging in, well...]

[He's kept up a brave face for Alice, but this is Raven, and he lets his guard down a little.]

I was hoping you would.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[He grins]

I've got a list a mile long.

What do you know about art?

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

The history of, or the production? I'm... rather well-versed in both, but I'm afraid history wouldn't be a good subject to teach people from different worlds.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Oh, the production of. I'd like this to be something that people keep busy with, and art is nice for parts of the brain we don't use much when we're just...surviving.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'd prefer science, but I wouldn't mind teaching art.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Science is good. If you teach chemistry and explosives, I'll sit in.

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

I could blow something up, just for you.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[A happy laugh]

Count me in, Professor. In or out of class?

[neverquitedies.livejournal.com]

Whatever makes your learning environment optimal.

[Video//Private//Unhackable] -> Offline?

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

[Raven quirks a quizzical eyebrow.] You were?

You're at your place, right? I'll be there in a few.

[Yeah. Tonight she doesn't feel like talking over the PCD at all.]

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I learn best with private lessons out in the woods.
