Video; Afternoon Catfish Day 23

[runs_on_batteries]

Good afternoon, Voidtreckers. If I haven't met you yet, I'm Tony Stark. I have a few matters to discuss with all of you.

For those who are new to this train, please fill out the questionnaire that was attached to each ICP in the 'welcome packet'. Yes, these answers are kept strictly confidential and the only purpose for me collecting them is to find some kind of pattern in being brought here. For those who have been here longer, please check if you've completed all the questions as I've added a few. If this irritates you, blame Peter Parker.

Anyway, as requested, I'm going to be giving the Train Council a debriefing on my findings so far in the next few days. Spoiler alert, I've found very little patterns.

For anyone interested, I'll be posting a list of currently offered classes and at what time per week on the door going into the dining carriage. As of right now, there are yoga classes every morning at 8:30, people offering various types of sparring lessons, and I'll be starting school with a class on math and a class on science later this week. If you're interested, let me know so I can give you a pre-class test to see where your current level is.

Does anyone garden? I've been working on an update ventilation system since we have kids on the train and those who potential have compromised breathing. It occurred to me, we might benefit greatly if we started to add small gardens throughout the train. I'll create proper lighting. If someone can build some gardening boxes, that would also be appreciated. As of now I have a list of the items in the kitchen that can be planted for those who would enjoy such activities.

Lastly, is the damn book-demon idiot still occupying and being a pain in the ass in the garden carriage? You've got one hour to cut that out.

Feanor, come find me. We need to talk.

I have been behaving!

[ Mostly. He's not gonna mention all the webfluid he wasted when he was playing dino-tag with Kaito. ]

Nice try Mr Stark, but I'm not just gonna confess like that.

[runs_on_batteries]

[He snapped his fingers and mumbled 'damn'.]

You've fallen for it before, why wouldn't I think it'd work this time?

[hashtagparkerluck]

What? When did I fall for it before?

[ Besides moments ago when he said he wasn't going to confess. ]

[runs_on_batteries]

Well, there was last week at dinner, three weeks ago at breakfast, and more importantly, you claimed you weren't going to confess to something. There has to be something you are actively not confessing to.

Should I just go ahead and safe us the trouble by grounding you now?

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Peter's quiet a moment, trying to wrap his brain around what just happened. Yes, he's done stuff he maybe shouldn't have but he's not telling on himself! ]

Wh-what? That's not fair! You can't ground me for something I allegedly did.

[runs_on_batteries]

Petey, you should know by now that I do whatever I want.

[Tony laughs, enjoying this silly conversation.]

So when are you going to be by to take the test?

[hashtagparkerluck]

What!? Now there's a test?

I haven't even had time to study, Mr Stark. You can't just spring a test on me-I mean I've been reading a chemistry book and working on calculus problems-which I'm almost done with by the way

but I have definitely not studied-what is even on the test?

[runs_on_batteries]

What do you mean 'suddenly there's a test'? I just said there was going to be a test so I can figure out where to start your coursework!

[Does the kid ever listen to him? Ever?!]

[hashtagparkerluck]

Yeah but you didn't say I had to take a test! You can't just make me take a test Mr Stark, I'll get nervous. I need at lest three days to study. What the test even on? 'cause I think my Spanish is a bit rusty and I know my Italian is-I mean I used once like three years ago when I had to go to a thing with May's family but not since then.

Math is pretty strong but I've been doing mostly calculus so if there's like graphing on the test I make no promises because it's been like months since I last did that? I mean I could probably still do it-but no time to study? I'm definitely gonna fail.

[runs_on_batteries]

Yes, yes I did. I said it to everyone. 'If you're interested, let me know so I can give you a pre-class test to see where your current level is.' True, you don't get the option of whether or not you're interested, but I still told you about the test.

And it's not that kind of test anyway. It's just to make sure I have an idea where your current level is. You aren't supposed to ace it! If you did, then I'd have to give you another one that's harder till we find questions you can't answer correctly.

[hashtagparkerluck]

[ Ugh. Tests. ]

Well, if I'm not supposed to ace it then I probably will anyway because we both know that's how I seem to work.

[runs_on_batteries]

You know what. Don't come. Don't take the test. Access to education is a privilege and you're acting like a spoiled brat. I'm doing this because some people want the knowledge. So do us both a favor and go nap in your hammock some more.

[hashtagparkerluck]

Wh-What? Hey wait-c'mon Mr Stark! I didn't mean it. I'm not actually that bent out of shape-I mean tests really do make me nervous because test anxiety is a real thing that I definitely have because I pretty much have all kinds of anxiety-holy shit this is being broadcasted, isn't it?

Uh! Crap! I meant Holy crap-Sorry anyone that's not supposed to be hearing those words..

[runs_on_batteries]

[As the kid verbally flailed, Tony is seen slowly dropping his head to the table in front of him and his shoulders start to shake as he laughs. Dammit Peter! He's trying to be taken seriously here! And yeah, don't mind him as he cracks up.]
