hey so, i know everyone is feeling uh
sketchy across the board about all the shit that's been happening with the null and the hosts
and i think maybe the whole invasion last thing is sticking with everyone, along with those fucked up experiments
or maybe that's just me

whatever
my point is, i know a few of us are willing to teach magic and self defense and stuff like that, but most of us have been offering it randomly on the network
there's nothing organized, as far as i know
other than lance's directory, but i'm thinking something a little more dojo-y
so i'm thinking to make everyone feel safer, maybe you can all officially offer your services here
and set up some kind of official meet up or class time, if enough people are into it
oh, but if you're going to charge or demand favors in exchange or whatever, get out of here with that crap
no extorting people who are scared and/or looking to protect the city
that's lame

long story short, me and harlan are willing to teach people magic
if anyone else wants to play mr. miyagi or the karate kid, let's hear it

[ a lot of this stuff goes straight over bucky's head, zooming past then whirling back around to taunt him at how little of this world makes a lick of sense to him.

but 'teach' 'learn' 'magic' and 'feel safer', those all seem straightforward enough.

he fiddles with his phone (that's still hard to accept as a phone - it seems to be nothing like one) to try and pull up the little keyboard he was shown one time but quickly realizes - he should have probably written those instructions down on paper because he cannot for the life of him remember how to get there. so instead, he makes a call, because dammit that's what phones are supposed to be for!

it is, unfortunately, a video call, that shows nothing but darkness as the camera is pressed against his ear, along with the rest of the phone ]


Hello - who am I speaking to? [ well the post said harlan or 'me' and he is mostly certain that 'me' is not the person's name, though the lack of capitalization, and the strangeness of this world could still likely prove him wrong. ]

[ he pulls the phone off his ear and looks at it skeptically and curiously. the little lens - right - there it is - and there she is. he holds it a bit too close and at an odd angle, not sure how far from his mouth and ears he should be holding it ]

Can you still hear me?

[ she seems casual enough and a part of him just about goes for matching the attitude - but the occasion is still official, so he opts for his proper name. ]

My name is James Barnes, I'm interested in your lessons. If you got guns or any use for hand-to-hand, I'm happy to train others, as well.

You as well, Kyna. Thank you, I'll be sure to check that out.

[ definitely useful intel already, he's glad to have braved the strange phone ]

Can I get a little more information on your lessons? When you say 'magic' - what do you mean, practically?

It's a completely new subject to me, to be quite honest I didn't think it was real, so I'm starting from zero. What's a good place to start?

[ healing and defensive are both obviously appealing but fireball throwing is definitely a kind of defense! ]

That sounds great. Just tell me the where and when, and I'm there.
