[Video] Educational Advocacy

Guys, we need a school.

And not JUST because I've been stuck in Turtle-opolis for almost six months and I'm seriously behind in my studies. [She cycles through six different half-grumpy, half teasing faces before she assumes a more serious face.] I know people have been offering to teach self defense and magic and stuff like that, but it's not -- look, it's what we need to be doing.

Educating ourselves is how we prepare for stuff like -- you know, the thing that we have to prepare for.

Obviously, I'd mostly just be a student. I think most of the people who can teach valuable skills already are, but they could afford to be more coordinated. That means we need a Headmaster. Any volunteers?

[She clears her throat and steps back from the camera, revealing half her apartment to be covered with notes about something -- presumably this project.] Oh, yeah, I have a preliminary curriculum, lemme know what you think.

Lessee, we got... Self Defense, English, Kedan Language and Culture, Computer Science, Magic, Physics and how not to introduce stupid invasive furballs into the ecosystem.

Ahem. I mean Newcomer Orientation. Obviously there's not enough of us to really do levels or whatever, but come on. Let's get on it!

Okay. I want to go to school. I hope we get one.

Try telling them that.

I don't know, maybe. Unless you can get one of the rich people to agree. I think the Emperor might be easier.

Really? [It's been a while since he's been qualified for anything, and being the 'most qualified' is a help to his ego, even if he is the only candidate.]

I mean, if that continues to be the case, I suppose I'm up to it. [Because he's pretty much given up on being elected to any position of power, even if his council idea went through.]

[His grin widens.]

Do I ever! You're looking at Time Lord, young lady. Cross-dimensional travel is practically what I was born to do.

All maths relates to physics, they go hand in hand. You can't really study science without knowing maths. And you can't exactly separate maths into what's useful and what isn't. Even the most basic formulas build up to the kind of equations needed for psychics and there's no way you can just jump to that high of a level without a -- well, cheat code.

You'd be shocked how many people fear maths. Either by lack of doing it or by knowing how powerful it truly can be. Not to say it's fun or anything, just always useful.

I don't need no school, an' neither does anyone else here, huh?

I imagine so. We'll need to figure out baselines that everyone can physically do, as well. Especially in case we ever lose our powers again. No one should be helpless even in that situation.

This goes a bit beyond the scope of what you mention here admittedly, but on a personal, and somewhat selfish level... Something dealing with the legal system here and how it functions as a whole. I was reading law before I came here...

[When Enjolras bothered to show up. At least half of his classes were missed due to his late nights writing pamphlets, studying matters of more importance and days spent recruiting or in other work he actually deemed important but...He has the basics. And well, he had anticipated taking it seriously after there was a republic. Now that he is somewhere there is not, things have changed considerably.]

Perhaps something along the way of preparing those with similar backgrounds to mine to begin some sort of a legal practice here. We have been given a code of laws, but even so. How would one mount a defense on many of these things when they are so different? I would not have anyone subjected to an unfair judgement or trial simply because those who may have helped them were entirely unprepared.

Are there any here who know that law well enough, becomes a better question, but if they do exist perhaps that may be worth pursuing as a type of add on as well.

Not as such, no, but I'm an explorer. I've got a spaceship that I travel in and I visit other planets and travel through time and the like.

You mean you wouldn't be up for some private tutoring sometime? I'm a very good student.

[Only not at all.]

So, that's a no? I promise not to tell your girlfriend.

Agreed, though I'm not sure how to manage that, given that all tech except the network seems to be tied up with the turtle.

Have you attempted to speak with Bruce Wayne? He has always struck me as quite generous.

[If perhaps a bit frivolous but Charles had to imagine that Bruce would be willing to support the idea of a school, if it was brought to him.]

Do you have a list of instructors and what they can teach? Also prospective students?
