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?

What—

( WHEN IN DOUBT, PLAY DUMB. )

Cannibals? Like, as a concept?

[hexcope]

You said it like they're here.

[decodex]

Yeah, but like... not in droves or anything.

[hexcope]

Why are we keeping cannibals a secret? Secret cannibals?

[decodex]

Probably because of this? This right here?? This whole... reaction???

[hexcope]

Oh, are we worried about upsetting the cannibals??

[decodex]

Shhh! Oh, my God, can we not do this?? Like, do we have to do this now? Here?

I don't even know everything about them, man.

[hexcope]

Tell me what you know about them or I'm asking the whole network, very loudly.

( you know, he should be mad about this, but it's also the kind of move that eddie himself would try and pull when pressing for information, so he gets it. )

All I heard was from a friend of a friend, and me and that friend aren't even really friends. He's just a dude. A cool dude. Probably not a liar or anything, but—

It's literally probably nothing.

[hexcope]

Why would you bring it up to begin with, if it was nothing??

[decodex]

...

How about a do-over?

If I pretend you misspoke, what were you actually going to say?

[decodex]

Right, what I was getting at.

This place is full of all kinds of people. We've got grown-ups, teens, humans, mammoths, robots, kids, mutants, people from similar worlds, people from totally different world, NONE of whom are cannibals, not even in the slightest—

—so, school is a good idea. Bringing people together is a good idea.

[hexcope]

... Sounds like something a cannibal would say, to get everyone in one place.

But again, if I'm pretending you misspoke, then it sounds like a good idea on paper. Logistically, organizing a school is a lot more work than it seems.

So here's what I'm offering: one class, once a month, for anyone with an interest in classical mechanics, physics, mechanical engineering, metalsmithing, and blueprint reading and design. I'll change up what the curriculum is, but if there's going to be kids, I'll need to know ahead of time to make sure it's something on their level too. And I have the right to kick anyone out if they're being an ass or dangerous.

Good enough?
