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.

Well try to leave any self-consciousness at home. There are going to be people joining us who have never had any formal education, so you're still ahead of the game.

Dude, I'm here to help people like that, not to like...lord it over them that I had some. That's not fair. Besides, I had people do that to me at home so I know it sucks. It'll be a fine line I walk. Probably.

[runs_on_batteries]

No, I wasn't meaning like that. I know you wouldn't act that way. I was meaning you should feel better knowing you aren't behind everyone else.

[He paused and decided to admit something he hadn't really talked about with the others.]

I've never taught a class before. I'm not entirely sure how this will go since everyone is at different levels and I'm wanting to be careful with those who might be self-conscious.

[Yes, he's actually really trying here to not hurt anyone's feelings while knowing he sucks at it.]

[afterburner]

Well, I know you're trying, so I am too, you know?

And if anyone asks me or goes "Man Tony's being a jerk about this, isn't he?" I'll set 'em straight. You're doing your best, just like the rest of us at least ought to be doing. Right?

Though if we get frustrated--shit, I probably will--you gotta cut us some slack too, deal?

[runs_on_batteries]

Well now you're just sucking up. Stop it.

[Still, he flashed her an appreciative grin despite his words.]

So get your ass over here so I can give you this test. If you happen to spot Peter, drag him in with you.
