[scathach is sitting on the edge of a building. she's only outside because there are just a few clouds in the sky, so she isn't too worried about getting a sunburn. she's holding the nv in one hand, arm resting on her knee, so the frame is a little crooked.]

Now that a cure has been found, I hope that all of the sick will be on their feet soon.

[just pleasantries. she's clearly getting to business now, because she actually looks to the camera, straightening the picture.]

I was hoping there would be some kind of school here akin to Xavier's Institute, but I have yet to stumble upon one. In light of this, if someone could direct me to a local dojo, I would greatly appreciate it. And if there is no dojo, I will need space to build one.

[oh right.]

I'm a teacher of the martial arts and weapons combat. I suppose I should mention that I'm open for lessons right now, though they will have to be in a public space, preferably a park or field. If anyone is interested in learning, tell me now. Lessons start tomorrow.

[and with a curt nod, she cuts the feed.]

[symmachy]

[SQUINTS A LITTLE]

Yes. Does it exist here? Did I miss it?

[SHE KIND OF SUCKS WITH DIRECTIONS]

[thelittlestbub]

No. It doesn't. But I'm a graduate of the Xavier Institute. One of them, anyway.

[symmachy]

[she looks pretty relieved. how embarrassing would it have been to be in this place for two weeks and have just missed the school]

Ah. Well, congratulations. Belatedly. [how do i shot social situations]

What's your name?

[thelittlestbub]

I'm Jubilee. I used to run around with Wolverine. Were you one of the new students?

[What are two separate Xavier's?]

Actually there is a dojo where your talents would be useful. I teach there myself a couple of days a week. If you are interested, there should be positions available.

[symmachy]

[oh hello cute old man she will not be short with you]

I am very interested. What do you teach?

[tea_lover64]

[He smiles]

A variety of things. I specialize in a version of Shaolin Kung Fu I believe they refer to it in this world, though I am familiar with virtually all forms. I also have practical experience with a variety of weapons, and know their strengths and weaknesses quite well.

[He sips at a cup of tea delicately]

My name is Iroh, might I have the pleasure of yours?

[symmachy]

[she smiles a bit, but not with teeth.]

A fine set of skills. I might be interested in learning a thing or two from you.

[the redhead's eyes dart to the tea for just a moment before returning to his face.]

Scathach. It is a pleasure, Iroh.

[tea_lover64]

Those who teach will often learn. I should be happy to help.

[He inclines his head]

Scathach, the pleasure is all mine.

[plum_that_snaps]

How much do you charge for lessons?

permavid.

[symmachy]

Since I've no real place to teach at the moment, nothing.

[plum_that_snaps]

But even if you teach in a park or public space, you must want something for your time, right?

[symmachy]

[a normal person would say food
but scatty doesn't eat so wat do
be awkward of course]

I don't need anything.

[plum_that_snaps]

Oh.

Then why are you teaching? Just for fun?

[hisoldgirl]

What sort of school is this 'Xavier's Institute?'

[symmachy]

It's a school for children with special abilities.

[hisoldgirl]

What sort of special abilities?

[symmachy]

Powers. They're called mutants in their world.

[surgicalshot]

I hope we can all be on our feet, too! Even if it means you'll kick us down. [Grins.]

permavid.

[symmachy]

[a small smile]

I won't kick hard.

[inthejunk]

[...Damn. He really would like some lessons, too.]

[symmachy]

[he might get the if he just apologized!!

might]

[inthejunk]

[Sigh.]

Uh...

[symmachy]

[oh]

Yes?
