[the video flicks on to a scruffy-looking man. some of you may have seen him around the edges of the campus or at meal times, but he hasn’t been here long. he frowns at the screen for a moment before speaking, his accent from the deep South.]

A’right, so I guess I’m s’posed to uh, advertise for the new class, or somethin’.

[he pauses, not quite sure what’s the best way to go about this. It’s all very new and unfamiliar to him and he looks pretty uncomfortable.]

I’m addin’ a survival course ‘n a defense class for anyone who wants it. It’s gonna be afternoons ‘n Saturdays. So… yeah.

[he looks as if he’s going to shut off the device and then hesitates. oh yeah, they don’t know him, he’s new around here. But if he’s going to teach he supposes they should have a name at the very least. still, this whole teaching thing is really weird to wrap his head around.]

Name’s Daryl by the way. Daryl Dixon.

Is it like surviving if we get stuck out in the middle of nowhere like in that Guytracker show??

[faithaintdoneshit]

Yeah, just like that 'cept there ain't a camera crew when ya do get stuck.

[sugoooi]

Neat! Are we going to learn to start a fire with two pieces of food and stuff??

[faithaintdoneshit]

Don't get too excited kid, makin' a fire ain't nearly as fun as it sounds. But yeah. Stuff like that.

[makes a mental note to have sam try making a friction fire first. it'll be great.]

The defense course, I get. The former?

What're you gonna do, teach them how to stave off the rabid, vicious Canadian Wolverine while wandering barefoot in the frostbitten New York backwoods? You're a daring man, Daryl. [He chuckles at his own joke.]

[scoff]

Boss-man asked what I could teach. S'what I got.

Re: [Video]

[killadeadman]

And s'what boss-man gets. Does that mean you're another stray that the boss-man adopted?

[There's no joking bite in that.]

[faithaintdoneshit]

Guess that's one way to put it. He take on charity cases a lot?

[realmenknitplushies]

What d'ya mean a 'survival course'? What's that all about?

[faithaintdoneshit]

Pretty self-explanatory ain't it?

[realmenknitplushies]

[Groan. Why woud he be asking if it was?] Survivin' what sorta things? Is this like that outdoors type'a stuff?

[faithaintdoneshit]

[oh. that.]

Yea. What y'can eat, traps, shelter, that sorta stuff. I can teach huntin' too.

[shiroganeheir]

I would possibly be interested in a defense course. What sorts of defense will be taught?

[faithaintdoneshit]

[aw shit technicalities....naoto you got him on this one]

Hand t' hand stuff mostly, some knives, guns too if we get far enough.

[shiroganeheir]

I have some experience with firearms, however, I would be very interested in other sorts of defence.

I am Naoto Shirogane.

[faithaintdoneshit]

Well Naoto, if ya got any specifics y'wanna learn, lemme know.

[the_prodigal_son]

Survival against what?

[SOUNDS DISTRESSING.]

[faithaintdoneshit]

[ALMOST AS DISTRESSING AS YOUR PAST JACK. Daryl squints though, c'mon kid it isn't that hard to figure out]

...The outdoors.

[the_prodigal_son]

...Is it that scary?

[As far as he knows the surface is nothing but nice cities and good food and cute girls??? That's the sort of past Fontaine gave him, even if it's in tatters now that he knows about what really happened to him. Honestly this boy didn't even know what a deer was until recently.]

[endurancepoint]

Sounds like a class I'd be interested in. I take it this will be minimalist style?

[Because the way things are going, the woods are starting to look inviting. No damn politicians trying to register him there.]

[faithaintdoneshit]

The survival course? Y'got that right.

[endurancepoint]

I don't have much experience with it, but I'm willing to learn.

As for the defense portion, what does that entail?

[loveswaffles]

Do we just attend if we're interested?

[Raven can already fly, but she doesn't get comfortable. Having that kind of knowledge and training can only help her.]

[faithaintdoneshit]

S'fine by me, long as ya don't waste my time if y'don't like it.

[loveswaffles]

I'm not here to waste anyone's time.
