1: action

[Kanji's trying to get homework done. Seriously. In a common room, surrounded by notes, a laptop (old, battered, with insulation taped to it) on the table in front of him...

Right. Let's do this. Let's ... get totally confused by the second question on the page. Literary analysis wouldn't even be his thing if it were in his first language, but English? It's definitely catching him out.]

What does the use of metaphor in this passage... ngh. Dammit.

[He screws up a piece of paper, hurls it across the room, not really looking at the direction it flies in.]

2: video

[Some time after the study attempts...]

Yo. I... kinda hate to say it, but... I'm lookin' for a bit of help, here. [A moment's pause-] Study tips. How to get this stuff to stick in your head 'n all that. I ain't smart, sure. I get that. But...

[He rubs his head, sighs.]

Someone's gotta have somethin', right?

Yo. So I've kinda got a question for people who've done this whole [waving a hand] "hero thing" before, or gotten involved in these sorta fights. What do you tell your family 'n all that about - this whole mess? Do ya tell them anything? 'Cause ma came to the big city for New Year's, an' we were talkin' about things... I just wasn't sure what to say.

I don't wanna go scarin' her, or get her involved in this mess. But I don't wanna lie.

Any thoughts?

[Locked to his team:]

And by the way, ma brought a hamper of stuff to share with friends. Shit, you'd think she was trying to make me explode: I've got enough here to keep me goin' for weeks. So... I wanna split this with you guys. You up for it?

[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.

Hi. Got a question. It's more for people who've been here longer, but if anyone's got advice, it's cool.

Can't really believe I'm asking this, but - does anyone have any ideas for what to do when you miss your family? I try to talk to ma, but it doesn't always work. And I can't just keep ringing home.

[Yeah, if anyone's seen Kanji shouting into a phone, that's what he means by 'doesn't work'.]

I mean, I'm alright. It's not a big deal overall. But any tips?

[Is this thing on? Cool. Trying to look as unruffled as he can, from his seat in the common room, the current speaker reaches towards the camera - looks like it's his phone? - with a stylus for a second and sits back.]

Uh, hey, all. Name's Kanji. Just transferred here this year. Cool meetin' ya all.

[Is he doing this right? He hopes so...]

Anyway, I've got a question. Everyone's talkin' about clubs and everythin', right? So... uh. [Right. Getting this over with.] Are there any - art type clubs going around? Or [is he glancing off-camera there?] any craft sorta ones? Has anyone set anything up yet?
I'm ... just kinda curious, okay? A guy's gotta do somethin' around here, heh...
