Yeah, wow, I really don’t think anyone is learning anything here… like, school-wise. ( they say you don’t notices the pitfalls of parenthood until you have inter-dimensional alien children of your own… )

I mean, we should fix that, right? We can’t let people stagnate while they’re here. They should be learning stuff between, you know— train espionage.

( this place is so goddamn weird!!! )

So— can anyone teach chemistry?

Don't only scientists need to learn chemistry?

[decodex]

Uh, not necessarily. I don’t think so.

I mean, I think anyone CAN learn it. Back home, everyone had to learn it. Like, it was mandatory.

Can't help you there. I joined the military as soon as they'd take me.

[ School took a backseat to revenge. And war. ]

[decodex]

Did… you finish school, at least?

un: s0001

[miniroth]

Is school important?

[decodex]

That’s…

I mean, I think so. I think it can help a lot. Everyone should at least get a little bit of it.

[cactusy]

Of all the things, you're picking chemistry?

[decodex]

Think we should start with economics instead?

[hexcope]

Chemistry isn't my strong suit, but I could muddle my way through teaching a classical mechanics or physics class if someone really needed it.

[decodex]

Physics?

You know physics?

[snapp_crackle]

What, like alchemy? Isn't that a little... specialized?

[decodex]

Alchemy? Like turning copper into gold?

Don't think that's a thing anymore, man... people didn't really get anywhere with that whole hunt for the Philosopher's Stone in my world.

I volunteer my services as an educator.

Perhaps not chemistry, but theatre. Did you see the sorry excuse for acting some of those children got up to on the train? Embarrassing.

[decodex]

Theatre?

Theatre could be good. ( we respect the arts in this house!! ) Yeah, I don't think extensive lying comes naturally to most people, especially not for a long period of time. It takes practice.

And where are you planning on building up a psuedo-school?

[decodex]

What do you mean? This place is full of empty buildings — it's like a ghost town.

It can literally be anywhere.

I'm pretty sure learning how to fight and deal with emergency situations has been our version of 'learning stuff'. Unless Aurora can, I dunno, magically make sure any lessons we learn here will actually count towards our college applications.

[codicies]

Won't have to even apply if you act fast and found the college yourself.

[decodex]

Also good skills to have... ( reacting to danger, being able to handle emergencies, all great tools. ) But, yeah, transporting back to our worlds might be a problem.

I mean, unless we return to the exact time and day we were pulled from. But I feel like time has to be passing somehow, right?

Unless you have a lab lying around. Not impossible to teach it theoretically but the physical application and knowledge would be lacking.

[ But he supposes not everyone is looking to be a chemist. ]

[decodex]

Not me personally, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of these buildings have something along those lines. We'll look.

I was more picturing baking soda volcano levels of chemistry, but it's good to see we're thinking bigger.

I'm homeschooled.

I don't know why the rest of you are slacking off on ensuring the children get an education. It isn't difficult to adjust lessons around missions.

[decodex]

Who's homeschooling you?

( maybe eddie can talk to his teacher. )

And I think school just hasn't been a priority for anyone, you know? Getting kidnapped and all, it sorta throws things off balance.

[She holds up her hand. She has seen in pictures that school students raise them, when discussing school things.]

I would like to try school.

[decodex]

Oh, Laura? You're Laura?

( yep, that is totally, totally a child. )

And I mean, yeah. We'd love to have you... once we iron out the kinks and all. ( like class schedules, and teacher compensation, and... like, a location. ) Anything in particular you wanna learn?

We do have a resident man of science around these parts... Naturally I can't go volunteering on his behalf, but perhaps you might try persuading Kirk to lend his expertise to your venture.

[ From previous discussion, he thinks the man more than qualified to impart some knowledge. ]

For my part, I know my way around numbers, but I'm thinking field medicine and healing might be of more immediate use as skills go.

[decodex]

Kirk? ( the name doesn't raise any alarms, which is good. eddie doesn't know everyone around here, but he's been keeping track of the ones he doesn't want to cross. kirk isn't one of them. ) Yeah, all right. I'll reach out to him.

And I think you're right. After everything with that protest on the train, I think first aid could go a long way around here.

Don't know if just anyone can do healing, though... sounds more like wizard thing.

I used to teach beginners computer science workshops? I mean, we'd need a bunch'a computers first, it'd be hard to teach programming theoretically.

[decodex]

Coding's... good.

Having some coding knowledge probably would have helped me back on the train. But I think you're right, we're gonna need to find computers first for something like that.

Isn't coding just math, though? Sorta? Kinda?

( this just in: eddie brock does not know what coding is. )

A friend of mine was starting up something so others could learn to fight and defend themselves so we're prepared for missions but I don't think that went anywhere after she left.

Why chemistry?
