Who: Winn and you
Broadcast: yes!
Action: Tourist!
When: now?

[ today, winn is coming to you live from the tourist's cargo hold. clearing his throat, he offers the camera a little smile ]

Sup, Fleeters, Winn Schott here, hope space is treating you well today. I got three things to run by you today, I'll try to be quick.

So one, I got - [ he moves the camera away from his face to focus on a box of 10 bears, on the large side. they have been dyed, and colorful patches have been sewn decoratively all over their torsos and arms. when he got them, they were covered by straightjackets, so this is his fix ] these. If anyone wants one, you're welcome to them. [ unless you're a tourist crew member. they will have magically run out if one of you tries to get one. he doesn't care if you can see them, they're not staying on this goddamn ship, ok. ] If any are left over I'm gonna leave them in Discovery One on the Iskaulit for public use in case anyone turns tiny.

[ he turns the camera back to him ]

Two - for those of you who don't know, Cisco and I have been running lectures, concerts, and whatever else people have been willing to volunteer their time for on the Iskaulit, and we're running low now. If you've lectured before and you wanna go again - you're more than welcome to, if you're a newcomer - likewise. Just drop me or Cisco a line with your name, topic, title if you have one, and availability if you actually have a schedule to keep - and we'll add you to the roster.

Three - Hank - don't let it be said I don't pay my debts.

[ turning on the karaoke machine he built with cisco, he proceeds to offer the network his rendition of the dire strait's walk of life. once he's done singing, a little flushed and embarrassed because last time he did this it was with cisco this is so much more terrifying on his own!! he gives the camera a little nod and signs off. ]

[... why is everything she sees about bears lately.]

Are those toy bears?

[why bears though. why is it bears everywhere. why not foxes.]

If it is all right, I would like one... I may offer little in payment, but if it would be an acceptable alternative, I may offer lessons of swordsmanship for your lectures instead.

[we can both agree that foxes are better than bears, then]

If it is something desired... Although, I may only teach basics, and any who learn from me would need a practice sword of their own.

... That is why I suggest practice swords, sir. Blunted, and no more dangerous than any length of iron. Even ones of wood may be used to learn the motions.

[ Hmm. ]

I suppose I could volunteer some of the skills I've mastered. But I doubt they can be covered in one lecture.
resnipstance: skeptical, amused, fond, eyebrow raise (105)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-10-04 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
Lectures and concerts, huh?

I wish I could help out, but I don't think any of the subjects I'm used to teaching are exactly well suited to general civilian interest...
precedented: (Do you contend with shadows?)

Then there is no harm spreading the skills from the future. Computation of the mind and control of the muscles.

Ah... It is a bit embarrassing, so I do not mind a demonstration, but, 'filmed'?

It's a certain skill taught to people when they're very young. It's akin to crunching data and forming a conclusion.
resnipstance: shy, smile, eyebrow raise, unsure (175)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-10-04 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmmm. Well, I already do guided meditation classes on the Iskaulit, so that's out.

Usually the sorts of things I'm used to lecturing on are, uh... ten different ways to take apart a clanker, battlefield strategy and tactics, how to avoid government corruption...
resnipstance: smiling eyeroll (154)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2016-10-04 09:16 am (UTC)(link)

Oh, recording... I had not heard that term for it before.

[it's hard being from medieval bullshit in a sci-fi game. :(]

Though there is only so much that can be demonstrated without a partner.

[ He blinks. ]

In essence, yes. It structures the thought process.

Really? You don't think people would be... well, bored?
