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?

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]

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.

[decodex]

Did… you finish school, at least?

[miniroth]

Is school important?

[hyphanated]

Oh. [Huh.] Where I was before, I don't think anyone studied that sort of thing unless they were going to be scientists...or helping the scientists, maybe.

[cactusy]

Of all the things, you're picking chemistry?

[sortie]

It's been war since I was a kid.

[ Says the nineteen-year-old who by some definitions is still a kid... ]

Wasn't exactly safe to attend schools.

[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.

[decodex]

Think we should start with economics instead?

[decodex]

The scientists?

Who are the scientists? How big is science to you guys?

[cactusy]

How about weaponry, hand-to-hand, disarming bombs.

[... Paaaaaause.]

Okay, yeah, train espionage.

[decodex]

Oh… I’m sorry to hear that.

That sounds—
Tough.

That war still going on?

[decodex]

I… also think those sorts of things could come in handy.

( let the record show that eddie is NOT a pacifist. )

Bomb class seems a little niche, though.

[miniroth]

My apologies, I don't mean education, I can't imagine anyone could argue against it. Is school itself important?

[cactusy]

I'd teach bomb class; I've done it before.

[sortie]

I wish.

[ He scoffs, but he really does wish. ]

...Anyhow, I had books. Could've been worse.

[hyphanated]

The scientists were people who did research on...well, science things. I don't know very much about it, but a lot of them researched genetic mutations and wildlife and technology and things. They were um...very big? About as important as the military, from what I could tell.

[But back to the original subject—]

I got to teach the children for a while, before; most of them only go to school until they're six years old, and the classes were focused mainly on language and math.

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.

[snapp_crackle]

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

[fatedfinality]

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]

Yeah?

( ... )

Welcome to the team.

[decodex]

No need to apologize, man.

But I don't think I understand your question. Why're you separating school from education? Aren't they kind of one and the same?

[decodex]

( WHO WISHES FOR WAR?? )

...Books.

What kind of books?

[cactusy]

Hold up, you're not even gonna ask if I was any good?
