009 [Video]

[After a month or so of mostly sticking to text and voice, Lance is back to video for another network broadcast. He's still looking a little unwell, but definitely better than in his last post or any time he's spoken with someone in person since then.

He was also fortunate enough to be in his apartment when the dust storm started, so he doesn't have to camp out in some public place or with people he doesn't like. Hurray! And since pretty much everyone is stuck inside somewhere, this actually ends up being a good time to make a network post to address a few things.]


Hello, everyone. For those who just arrived or otherwise haven't met me yet, I'm Dr. Lance Sweets, and I'm a psychologist; if anyone ever needs or wants to speak to someone professionally, whether about being here or otherwise, you're welcome to send a message or call at any time.

[And that usual note out of the way--]

But I also wanted to discuss something somewhat unrelated, which is the subject of creating an organized directory of who has what skills that they're willing to teach, if asked. Many here want to learn new skills or hobbies, whether due to practicality or boredom or otherwise, but it can be difficult to figure out who to ask especially if you're new and may not want to either use the network for a general announcement, or approach someone you may not know individually.

So a list of who is willing to teach what skills, and who is alright with being asked to do so, would be beneficial a lot of people here. I can compile and maintain it as a file that can be shared.

[It's not like he's doing a whole lot at the moment, having pretty much quit working at the Clinic. He seems to briefly consider continuing with another topic but then ends the feed there; the other thing he wanted to discuss probably wouldn't go over as well as the first one, and he'd prefer everyone not get distracted.]

Hey, friend. Guess who is looking much, much, much better than that last creepy post he made? (Normal eye included and all).

Do you think 'King of Duelists' would look good in my curriculum?

[Swift is still a little unsure with these things, but he sincerely hopes he's gotten it right. Is he doing this right?]

I can't speak for anything I know how to do, but I know Seel has quite a bit of useful skill it won't hurt him to teach others. [It might hurt them, but Swift can always come and babysit if he has to.] He's rather good at building and repairing and from what I've seen so far that could come in handy.

[Seel won't be happy, but oh well.]

Okay. Sign me up.

Oh, um, yeah, but I'm not an expert or anything. I actually, um... learned while I was drunk.

[Whoops. Thanks, Tucker.]

Quite a few of them are a little too specialized, I think. I didn't get a chance to build too many others. Unless there's a dire need for a diplomat or a leader I don't think I'd be of much use teaching.

Although I suppose I have gotten rather good at filing paperwork.

It was like... a bet. Kind of.

I'm happy to teach if you think it's necessary, but if there aren't people willing to learn then it's just as pointless as I already assumed it was.

I imagine Seel's skillset will probably be more useful. Or at least carry more interest.

Yeah, he's noticed that. But he's mainly just pulling his leg. It's not like there are gonna be schools for dueling or anything in the future...

Dueling with cards, of course. There isn't much else I could teach anyway.

And therein lies the problem.

Yeah, because you sabotaged me.

I wouldn't mind if there's someone willing to learn.

I suppose that's fair. It isn't exactly glamorous, but at least there's a tangible result at the end. Something they can actually be proud of.

[God damn it Tucker. She lets out a long-suffering sigh.]

We were drunk and I bet Tucker that he couldn't pick a lock while he was smashed, and he said he could, but that I had to try first. And then he only gave me one bobby pin to do it with.

You made the mistake of trusting me. Besides, if you knew what you were doing, it wouldn't be a sabotage.

Whatever. You really were just afraid I'd take your job.

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-01-16 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I think you're gonna have to learn more than picking a standard lock for that. Like, catching beanie babies would be a good start.

[A LOW BLOW.]

I was trying to keep the stupid rock monsters from killing us!
nowherewolf: (pls)

[personal profile] nowherewolf 2018-01-16 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
By hitting them with lightning?
