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?

[ he smiles ]
So what kind of magic are you talking about? Is it like - pulling rabbits out of a hat, or mystical powers of the beyond?
video
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?
video
What do you mean 'expending stamina'? Cuz where I'm from, stamina is the ability to keep at an activity -
video
video
video
It's something everyone is born with, where I'm from, though the merfolk can't use it for magic.
video

video
I'm... not sure what else to say, though. What about you? What's your world like?
video
video
... Also, just getting up and talking about my world would be simultaneously embarrassing and boring.
video
[ he has a million more questions now, but he bites down on them. ]
It wouldn't be boring though, I'm sure. Hey, I got some people offering to talk about magic, so, you'll definitely have some lectures to attend.
video
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?
video
You mean that memories -- were somehow physical, accessible to anyone who held them?
[ fascinated to know how that works, absolutely no desire to learn from experience, though. especially those of his memories that haunt him still. ]
First up is gonna be a science of magic lecture by Loki, I still have to work out the when-and-where.
video
"Loki"... Don't think I know them. But the Iskaulit's got some spare rooms still, I think.
video
Can I just commandeer one?
video
[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.
video
Offer still stands.
[ he won't push, it's really not his place, but he wants to try to be there for as many people as possible, to steer his life in a positive direction - and because he genuinely cares. he knows what it's like to be alone with terrible experiences, he doesn't want to leave anyone who's not interested in going through the same to it. ]
Alright, I'll take a trip to scout it out!
Re: video
[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.
video
[ this is happening if he has to fit people into his bedroom. ]
video
video
video
... Actually, I might have a topic- The history of the Fleet is probably a good thing to spread information on as much as possible.
video
[ he nods ]
That's a great topic.
