Who: Winn
Broadcast: Fleetwide video
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?

I could speak on mathematics and magics.

[He's bored. It's an opportunity to remind everyone of his vast superiority. Sounds good.]

That'd be great, magic lectures have already been requested, and a good mathematics lecture is always welcome!

Who am I signing up, and do you have a preference on how soon you'd wanna do it?

The two are linked.

I am Loki, Son of Frigga. I don't particularly care as to the timing.

Are we talking 'the science of magic' here? Because that's awesome!

You can go first, if you're up for it!

[ loki, it takes him a moment to figure out where he's heard the name before - rogue's loki? ]

Something like.

Certainly. [Set everyone else a difficult act to follow, as far as he's concerned.]

Great! Let me know if you have a title for it, and some scheduling options? And I'll set it up.

Call it The Golden Skein if you wish something fanciful. I have no end of spare time.

That's pretty good for off the top of your head! OK, I'll text you with the time and place as soon as it's settled.

I have a way with words.

I can tell, it'll come in handy. I know a lot of people who could use a lesson in that.

[ mainly - himself. ]

You'll have to ask nicely for a separate lecture, then.

It's going on my to-do list after the first lecture round.

I shall look forward to it.

[Oh you pitiable fool.]

[ his true name. well, pitiable foolish nerd, but you got pretty close! ]

I shall look for a thesaurus to make it worth the wait

I do like a spot of poetry.

roses are red, violets are blue, I need help with words, how about it, you?

[ no really see, you'll be doing the multiverse a favor. ]
