Action: the Tourist
When: now!

[ last time he posted anything, he was a nervous wreck and kind of nauseous. the changes the past two months have left in him are impossible to miss; winn is smiling, upbeat, and almost comfortable. the nervous energy that is there has more to do with his addressing a bunch of strangers than the constant fear of death by space-stuff that overshadowed his first feed. ]

Hi, if we don't know each other - I'm Winn Schott. If we do know each other...I'm still Winn Schott - [ shaking his head, why hasn't he learned from the last time? prepare a script! ]

Anyway! I've been here for a couple months now, and it's been interesting - and I mean that in the original sense of the word. Think about it - not only are we in outer space [ there's only a slight wince at that, and even a lot of excitement. space is terrifying - but it's also really cool ] - but we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to reach across the multiverse and learn things that haven't even been dreamed up in our worlds yet. I've been learning - a ton from just casually talking to people, but there is a much better way to do this if we all cooperate, [ open source. it's the way of the future! ] and I know I'm not the only one out there who's interested!

So, I've got a suggestion for anyone who thinks that's really cool - and - pity for anyone who doesn't [ and by pity, he means judgment. he gestures excitedly with his hands as he introduces his brilliant concept ] - 2016: A Space-Time Odyssey - a series of free weekly lectures about anything and everything we've got here. Talks about different worlds, science, history, art lessons, concerts - I know we've got some musicians here - basically anything anyone signs up to talk about, teach, perform, or however you communicate things where you're from. Since we don't have a lecture hall we can broadcast the talks - give ourselves a fun routine....and if that doesn't work for someone, I can post the notes I'm so gonna take of all of these. Who's in? Who wants to go first?

[She waves a hand, and small bursts of light appear around her fingers.]

Using internal mana to cause elemental-aspected combat effects.

Or, um, in terms for people from worlds without it... Expending stamina to create elemental attacks?

I mean... Yeah? It's not the same as physical stamina, but cast too much magic and you get tired and can't keep it up anymore. Or more like, you run out of fuel for it.

MP, or just 'mana'. It's a sort of... Natural energy generated by certain kinds of living creatures, I guess? And by the planet itself. I can't really give much more detail than that, though.

It's something everyone is born with, where I'm from, though the merfolk can't use it for magic.

No, just webbed hands. Probably feet, too? Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever seen Cove without shoes on... But they do mostly live underwater.

Elves are real, yeah... My best friends at home are a Beast Tribe girl, an elf, and a merwoman. Fairies keep to themselves, unless you learn to summon, and trolls are just straight-up asshole monsters.

I'm... not sure what else to say, though. What about you? What's your world like?

Sorry, but... Well, this is my second interdimensional shithole, and my last one involved losing all your memories. I've got some back now, obviously, but not enough for something like that.

... Also, just getting up and talking about my world would be simultaneously embarrassing and boring.
experiencepoints: (Dishonor on your cow.)

[Shrug.]

Honestly, the worst part was when we regained memories, they all came back in a pile and we couldn't tell whose was whose. We just had to try them until we found ours.

Now imagine close friends being able to see your most embarrassing memories, and that happened frequently.

I'll definitely attend, though. Who's lecturing?

Yeah. It's kind of a long story.

"Loki"... Don't think I know them. But the Iskaulit's got some spare rooms still, I think.

It's less a story for when you have free time, and more... Let's just say it's not a story I tell sober.

[Her tone makes it pretty obvious that it is meant in a very bad way.]

Yeah, I think so? I mean, I did to make that fox park, and no one's had a problem yet.
experiencepoints: (African or European?)

Thanks.

[She probably would have taken him up on that before, but she learned a bit from Natasha about how normal people socialize and learn about each other, and jumping into her many horrible deaths and the results thereof are not how one makes friends.

So, maybe another time.]


I think I claimed the biggest room left, but there's no reason a room is needed at all, if you can't find one.

No, I mean... Why couldn't lectures be given over the network? I don't know how your world works, but I know my college offered online courses, and it would be the same thing.

I guess that's true... Still, the idea of doing it all online sounds a lot less terrifying, if I can think of a topic at all.

... Actually, I might have a topic- The history of the Fleet is probably a good thing to spread information on as much as possible.
